Filter by:The primary goal of this quality improvement project is to find the optimal surgical conditions for patients undergoing upper arm arteriovenous graft surgery. Currently, there are two anesthetic techniques used in clinical practice. The goal is to standardize future practice and improve the care of patients postoperatively. The two techniques used in conjunction with a brachial plexus block are paravertebral nerve block and subcutaneous infiltration.
The subjects were divided into two groups. Each group comprised 30 children. Children were randomly allocated in two groups via computer generated tables. Children in group-A underwent single dartos tubularized incised plate urethroplasty while those in group-B underwent double dartos tubularized incised plate urethroplasty.
For patients with End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF), the surgical creation of an Autogenous Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) or Autogenous Arteriovenous Graft (AVG) is the recognised standard for providing vascular access. A functioning dialysis vascular access is essential to facilitate hemodialysis (HD) treatment. Advantages include improved hemodialysis initiation time, improved dialysis quality, better maintenance of accesses and generally, better outcomes in patients. Unfortunately almost 50% of AVF and AVG fail after a median lifetime of 3 to 7 years and 12 to 18 months respectively. Vascular access dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and hospitalisation for ESRF patients, costing the healthcare system USD 18 million globally. Venous stenosis and scarring are caused by trauma from surgical access creation when the circuit comes arterialized and from repeated percutaneous punctures from subsequent hemodialysis. This study is performed to evaluate Sirolimus-coated balloon efficacy and safety using MagicTouch™ Drug coated balloon catheter (Concept Medical Inc, Tampa, FL, US) on AVF patency with de novo and recurrent stenosis.
In patients with vesicovaginal fistula, transvesical and extravesical repair will be compared in terms of operative time, complications and recurrence rates.
Prostate cancer is the first cancer amongst men with more than 50000 cases per year in France. Surgical, radiation, frost, or ultrasound induced rectourethral fistula is a rare complication (<1%) of localized prostatic cancer treatment but hard to manage. Different types of treatment exist: conservatory, trans-sphinteric (York-Masson), transanal, perineal, with or without muscle flap interposition. Gracilis flap interposition for rectourethral fistula management is a promising technique but few cases are described and functional results are scarce. The aim of this study is to present surgical and functional outcomes of rectourethral fistulas surgery with gracilis flap interposition after treatment of localized prostate cancer.
In 2019, KDOQI considered that uremic patients with a life expectancy of more than one year should require hemodialysis as an effective renal replacement therapy before preparation of kidney transplantation. Arteriovenous fistula, as the lifeline of uremic patients, plays an important role in their daily hemodialysis. The patency of arteriovenous fistula is largely restricted by the inflow artery. According to available medical literatures, an incidence rate of variations in the branching pattern of the main arteries in the upper limb is ranged from 7.2% to 25.0%. and there is a large difference in the incidence rate between sex and race, furthermore, the incidence rate of variations in the branching pattern of the main arteries in the upper limb of Chinese is still unclear. The brachial artery is the main artery of the upper limb. It gives off two terminal branches at the distal end of the elbow crease, the radial and ulnar arteries, the former one often serves as an arterial inflow to create an arteriovenous fistula in the forearm. High bifurcation of the brachial artery (HBBA) seems to be a common variation which may result in immaturity or disfunction of arteriovenous fistulas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the variations in the branching pattern of the main arteries in the upper limb of Chinese, in order to study on the hemodynamic changes, and their influence on the establishment, maturation and failure of arteriovenous fistulas in the upper limb.
Main indications for distal pancreatectomy (DP) are pancreatic body and tail tumors including ductal adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, and cystic neoplasms. Despite a less invasive operation with lower morbidity compared to pancreatic head surgery, DP is burdened by the occurrence of clinically-relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) in a significant proportion of patients. Drain fluid amylase (DFA) on POD 1 (postoperative day 1) > 2,000 U/L appears as the best performing threshold to predict the occurrence of CR-POPF after distal pancreatectomy. Although there is preliminary evidence that early drain removal in the subgroup of patients with DFA1 < 2,000 U/L may reduce POPF, no prospective study has yet evaluated the impact of an early drain removal strategy compared to standard management. The research question of this study is to evaluate to what extent early postoperative drain removal according to a validated DFA1 impact on clinically-relevant POPF rate after distal pancreatectomy in comparison to standard drain management. The primary hypothesis is that, early drain removal will result in a reduced proportion of patients experiencing grade B-C POPF according to ISGPS definition. The proposed study is a two-group, assessor-blind, randomized trial. Participants will be randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio into one of two groups: (1) standard drain management or (2) early drain removal strategy. In this study adults (>18 years) patients with pancreatic body or tail diseases planned for distal pancreatectomy with or without splenectomy will be enrolled.The primary outcome is the POPF at 90 days after surgery, defined as grade B or C POPF according to ISGPS definition. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires in order to assess their general health status, and they will be evaluated at time of hospital admission, at 15 days, at 30 days after surgery (via telephone follow-up), and at 90 days after surgery (via telephone follow-up).
Anal fistula is a common condition with a wide variety of clinical presentations, which can make evaluation and treatment challenging and surgical outcomes uncertain. This study was undertaken to identify lessons learned in the surgical treatment of 483 patients over a 20- year period leading to a pragmatic approach to treatment of this condition.
