BACKGROUND There exists a great variety of liver parenchyma transection techniques. The objective of this research is to develop a new method of liver transection, and to compare it with the traditional ones. METHODS An original gas jet transection method of biological tissues and the apparatus "Pneumojet" to make the method practicable were developed in our institute. Comparison between the ...

Major injuries of the pancreas are uncommon, but may result in considerable morbidity and mortality because of the magnitude of associated vascular and duodenal injuries or underestimation of the extent of the pancreatic injury. Prognosis is influenced by the cause and complexity of the pancreatic injury, the amount of blood lost, duration of shock, speed of resuscitation and quality and nature...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely disrupts bladder function. What mediates bladder dysfunction after SCI is currently unknown. We investigated the role that primary afferent sprouting in lumbosacral cord may play in emergence of bladder activity after complete spinal cord transection. Rats had a bladder cannula chronically implanted. They were then subjected to complete surgical spinal cord tra...

Multiple playing surfaces and footwear used in American football warrant a better understanding of relationship between different combinations of turf and footwear. The purpose of this study was to examine effects of shoe and stud types on ground reaction force (GRF) and ankle and knee kinematics of a 180° cut and a single-leg 90° land-cut on synthetic turf. Fourteen recreational football playe...

Introduction: Post Whipple's Pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) the major concern is pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) leak which leads to post operative pancreatic fistula (POPF), pancreatectomy haemorrhage(PPH), delayed gastric emptying (DGE) ,sepsis. sometimes mortality.Hydrocortisone and indomethacin have been postulated reduce pancreatitis thus PJ leak. Methods: Between Jan 2018 - April 2019, 146 pat...

The effects of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) transection on escape behavior and MDH neuronal activity to noxious and nonnoxious stimulation of the face were precisely analyzed. Relative thresholds for escape from mechanical stimulation applied to the whisker pad area ipsilateral to the transection were significantly lower than that for the contralateral and sham-operated whisker pad until 28 da...

Introduction and Objective. Bleeding is an important complication in liver transections. To determine the safety and efficacy of Debakey forceps for liver parenchymal transection and its ergonomic advantages over clamp crushing method we analysed our data. Methods. We used Debakey crushing technique in 100 liver resections and analysed data for transection time, transfusion rate, morbidity, mor...

Gastrocnemius intramuscular aponeurotic recession is performed on the anterior surface of the muscular-bound portion of the gastrocnemius aponeurosis, in the "transection zone" located inferior to the region where the aponeurosis is formed by the separate tendons of the medial and lateral heads of gastrocnemius, and superior to the inferior portions of the muscle's 2 heads. Measurements showed ...
