Current preoperative marking practice by UK ophthalmologists.
In Patient Safety Alert 6, The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) stated that ‘‘across the NHS, there is no single standard method for marking a surgical site, which increases the likelihood of confusion and error. Despite high professional standards and excellent best practice at a local level, safety can be improved by using a consistent national standard for preoperative marking and a ver...
متن کاملVisibility of Surgical Site Marking After Preoperative Skin Preparation
OBJECTIVE It is important that during preoperative skin preparation surgical site markings are not erased. The effects of 2 common types of skin preparation solutions on surgical site markings were compared. METHODS Fasciocutaneous skin flaps were harvested and 20 random combinations of 3 letters were written on the skin flaps with a black permanent marker. Ten of the 3-letter combinations re...
متن کاملPreoperative localization of small peripheral pulmonary nodules by percutaneous marking under computed tomography guidance.
The outcome of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous marking for the preoperative localization of small peripheral pulmonary nodules was analyzed retrospectively. This procedure, in which 21-gauge markers were placed near nodules under local anesthesia on the day of surgery, concerned the patients who received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery as a primary operative technique. The stu...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery after Preoperative CT-Guided Lipiodol Marking of Small or Impalpable Pulmonary Nodules.
PURPOSE Small pulmonary lesions that include ground-glass attenuation have been increasingly discovered because of progressive imaging diagnostic technologies. Despite the detection of such small lesions, sometimes it is quite difficult to localize them because of their size or considerable depth from the visceral pleura. In the present study, we examined the usefulness of computed tomography-g...
متن کاملPreoperative versus postoperative radiotherapy in soft-tissue sarcoma of the limbs: a randomised trial.
BACKGROUND External-beam radiotherapy (delivered either preoperatively or postoperatively) is frequently used in local management of sarcomas in the soft tissue of limbs, but the two approaches differ substantially in their potential toxic effects. We aimed to determine whether the timing of external-beam radiotherapy affected the number of wound healing complications in soft-tissue sarcoma in ...
