Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the short-term and long-term complications of placenta percreta with bladder invasion. This evaluation focuses on cases where bladder dissection and ACAR-style bladder sutures were applied in cases of placenta percreta with bladder invasion that underwent uterine-sparing surgery or hysterectomy.
Due to the corona pandemia and the consecutive reduction of teaching students face to face the imparting of medical skills is limited. Video sequences may be an adequate alternative to educate selected practical skills. So, the investigators intend to explore this aspect as a first concerning two basic medical skills: Donati suture and intraosseous venous access.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two types of absorbable surgical sutures -- STRATAFIX Spiral PDS Knotless Plus Tissue Control Device and STRATAFIX Spiral MONOCRYL Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device (hereinafter referred to as Spiral PDS Plus and Spiral MONOCRYL Plus) used in thyroid surgery to suture surgical incision.
Evidence favours teaching procedural skills to medical students using a proficiency-based rather than time-based approach. Basic suturing skills can be taught through faculty-led, peer tutor-led, and computer augmented approaches. One method has yet to be identified as superior in terms of educational outcomes, resource utilization, and participant perspectives. Pre-clerkship medical students were randomized to: faculty, peer tutor, or computer augmented learning. Participants practiced suturing through their randomized method until they reached targeted proficiency defined using hand motion analysis (HMA). Proficiency was defined as a score of the average plus a standard deviation of five surgeons' HMA for two of three consecutive sutures using appropriate technique. The primary outcome was the number of stitches placed to achieve proficiency. The secondary outcomes were the number of sutures used, time, and costs incurred. Learning curves were constructed. Participants' perceptions were assessed using a follow-up survey.
This project is an observational trial investigating wound cosmetic appearance after repair of traumatic skin lacerations in the head area of pediatric patients with two different approaches to skin closure: sutures versus tissue adhesive. Photographs will be taken at two follow-up visits after repair and later assessed by external blinded plastic surgeon using standard cosmetic assessment scales. The investigators hypothesize that cosmetic wound outcome will be equivalent in these two wound repair treatment options.
Context: Cesarean section is the most common surgery in women, both in developed and underdeveloped countries. However results are conflicting report in which material for intradermal suturing get better aesthetic result. Objective: To compare the aesthetic appearance of two suture materials, polyglecaprone 25 and polyamide (nylon) with intradermal sutures for skin closure in women undergoing cesarean section first. Methods: This is a clinical, prospective and randomized study which was conducted in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of a tertiary Institute, Hospital das Clinicas Samuel Libânio, in PousoAlegre, Estate of Minas Gerais. Sixty women undergoing cesarean section were first included and randomized into two groups: group I (n = 30) polyamide and group II (n = 30) polyglecaprone 25. Hypertrophy, color and width of the wound were evaluated, receiving a score, according to Trimbos table, six months after surgery. Later the results were compared to non-parametric statistical tests
