Filter by:This study retrospectively evaluated the effect of two different lateral window preparation techniques on peri-implant bone augmentation for patients who underwent lateral sinus floor elevation with simultaneous implant placement using two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiographic results, with special emphasis placed on the stability of the graft material after surgery.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad after approval from the Institutional ethics review board. Fifty-four surgical residents in training and who have completed at least 3 months of surgical training were enrolled in the study. After the residents had performed the procedure initially, 27 were made to watch the procedural videos and learn the steps of the procedure while those of the other group did not watch the videos. Participants of both the groups were made to perform the procedure. GARS (global assessment rating score) was calculated for each individual during their second procedure. All procedures were performed under the supervision of a consultant surgeon who was blinded about the groups and make assessment of the GARS (global assessment rating score).

The objective of the study is the analysis of lymphadenectomy in the course of right hemicolectomy, in relation to the radicality of the surgical resection that is performed. In particular, the investigators wants to inquire how according to precise standards regarding surgical radicalness and consequently the anatomical piece that is obtained it is possible to correlate a certain number of lymph nodes and their possible positivity. The lead center is the General and Thoracic Surgery Department of the University of Ferrara. Prof. Anania is the responsible for the enrollment of patients and the coordination with the collaborating centers in the six month-study
In-bag manual morcellation is a safe alternative procedure after FDA's discouragement of electronic power morcellator. The traditional wedging (V-type incision) or semicircular coring (C-type incision or ExCITE) method are the most common morcellation techniques. For beginners, it is somehow not that easy to get familiar with these methods. No teaching or learning experiences were reported. Therefore, we developed a dome-type (modified C-incision) technique to manually morcellate uteri leiomyoma or uterus at the time of laparoscopic surgery and report perioperative outcomes and the learning experiences of our residents for this technique from our two years of experience.
This is a single-center retrospective cohort study on cancer patients who underwent emergency ostomy. Our objective was to compare the incidence of surgical complications as well as the length of hospital stay among three different techniques for ostomy confection (laparotomy, the conventional local approach, described as trephination, and laparoscopy).
The use of a simultaneous resection in patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastases has increased over the past decades. However, it remains unclear when a simultaneous resection is beneficial and when it should be avoided. The objective of this retrospective study is therefore to compare the outcomes of a simultaneous resection for synchronous colorectal liver metastases in different settings, and to assess which factors are independently associated with unfavorable outcomes.
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare malignant tumors. Liposarcoma constitute the most frequent histological subtype of retroperitoneal sarcoma. The prognosis of soft tissue sarcomas depend on clinical and histologic characteristics. Objective: Evaluate variables that may be related to overall survival and local recurrence free survival in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma. Methods: retrospective analysis of medical records of 60 patients attended from 1997 to 2017, who underwent surgical resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma.
Adnexal masses are a common clinical problem encountered in gynecological practice. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for ovarian pathologies has been adopted widely. Its goals are to minimize abdominal incisions and postoperative pain and to prevent incisional complications, such as incisional hernias and adhesions. Compared with open procedures, MIS is associated with faster recovery times, better patient quality of life, and lower postoperative complication rates. The removal of an adnexal mass from the abdominal cavity is performed most commonly using the suprapubic, umbilical, or vaginal route. Apart from these, mini laparoscopy can provide a better cosmetic result without additional operative time or complications. Despite the limited use of mini laparoscopy for gynecological procedures, its use has increased recently. After excision, an adnexal mass can be removed through a laparoscopic (LS) port using a variety of endoscopic or containment bags. After the mass has been placed in it, the bag is withdrawn, closed, and expelled through the skin incision with simultaneous trocar removal. When a mass is large or cannot be removed through the port, the incision may be enlarged slightly. This situation may yield a cosmetically worse outcome and increases the risk of postoperative complications, such as adhesion, hernia, and increased postoperative pain. Thus, natural orifice surgery (NOS) has emerged for tissue removal in such cases. This study was performed to compare the transumbilical (TU) and transvaginal (TV) routes for adnexal mass removal from the abdominal cavity
This is a pilot single site randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a nudging intervention providing surgeons with procedure-specific feedback regarding patients' postoperative opioid prescription-to-consumption ratio in individuals 18 years of age and older.
