Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Needle Fasciotomy after Steroid Injection for Dupuytren's Contracture

Ultrasound-Assisted Percutaneous Needle Fasciotomy for Dupuytren's Contracture.

Although percutaneous needle fasciotomy for Dupuytren's contracture is a simple, inexpensive procedure, it is a blind procedure with risks including injury to nerves, arteries, and tendons. The authors describe a novel technique using ultrasound as an adjunct to percutaneous fasciotomy for Dupuytren's contracture. Generally, patients have no postoperative restrictions other than to avoid submer...

Dupuytren's contracture: an analysis of outcomes of percutaneous needle fasciotomy versus open fasciectomy.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) is a minimally invasive technique used to manage Dupuytren's contracture. We compared outcomes of PNF versus open fasciectomy (OF) to examine the suitability of PNF in Australia. METHOD A retrospective cohort study using two questionnaires regarding Dupuytren's treatment was used to assess patients with uncomplicated primary disease. The primary...

Ultrasound Guided Motion Adaptive Instrument for Percutaneous Needle Insertion Therapy

Under ultrasound guided needle insertion therapy, surgeons have had much burden finding the tumor of the patient, particularly when the target tumor is moving due to the respiration or heartbeat. We researched on the development of a new needle insertion instrument which can track a moving objective based on visual servo control and tumor specific active contour models.

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided thrombin injection for the treatment of pseudoaneurysms.

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous periarterial thrombin injection for paracentesis-related hemoperitoneum

Paracentesis is a common procedure used in the diagnostic evaluation of peritoneal fluid as well as the therapeutic removal of high-volume ascites. Although generally regarded as a safe procedure, complications may arise from arterial injury, including hematomas and pseudoaneurysms. Transcatheter embolization and surgery are first-line interventions for injuries refractory to conservative manag...
