068. Avoiding Trocar-Related Injuries

Avoiding iatrogenic injuries in theatre.

Paper A-068

In this study, we investigated the synthesis of nano-size iron particle using a borohydride reduction of ferric ion in the presence of solvent containing carbonyl groups. When we varied the contents of solvent, there is a corresponding variation of synthesis and iron form. Each sample of synthesized iron particles was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and powder X-ray diff...

WST 50.4 ODOUR03-068 corr

The present paper evaluates the technical and economical feasibility of converting wet chemical scrubbers to biotrickling filters for H2S control at the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD), California. Results of 8 months of continuous operation of a biotrickling filter treating 16,000 m3 h–1 of foul air are analyzed. The reactor was operated at a gas contact time of 1.6 to 2.2 seconds rea...

Non-trocar related major retroperitoneal bleeding during laparoscopic appendectomy

Most of the reported vascular injuries in laparoscopic appendectomies occur during trocar or Veress needle insertions. As laparoscopy continues to evolve, it is essential that surgeons report unusual complications in an effort to raise awareness and guide management of any iatrogenic injury incurred during minimally-invasive procedures. We report the case of a patient who sustained a major non-...
