OBJECTIVES We evaluated the use of a hyaluronic acid-carboxycellulose membrane (HAC) slurry in complex laparoscopies. MATERIALS AND METHODS A gel-like mixture of HAC was prepared and applied in 171 consecutive complex laparoscopies on a gynecologic oncology service. The HAC slurry was used to coat deperitonealized surfaces and surgical pedicals to prevent postoperative adhesions. The techniqu...

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to consider the clinical experience of surgical outcome of single port access (SPA) laparoscopic myomectomy according to suturing methods. METHODS The authors operated with 2 suturing method in SPA laparoscopic myomectomy for 246 patients and compared the surgical outcomes. RESULTS The some significant difference of surgical outcome according to two sutur...

INTRODUCTION More and more complicated laparoscopic abdominal surgeries are now being performed across the world. Laparoscopic suturing of the bowel perforations is being performed by experienced surgeons. We have developed our own technique of small bowel anchoring to the abdominal wall before suturing the perforation. OUR MODIFICATION A single stitch is taken at the corner of the perforatio...

Context Emergency and immediate care skills are often difficult to practice in real time during clinical education. One skill requiring advanced training that may not be implemented education is wound closure via suturing. Simple laceration management with sutures can advantageous for athletic students learn practice; however, deliberate feedback a realistic manner necessitated. Objective To de...

mitral valve replacement (mvr) is usually performed in two methods of running and interrupted suturing. in running method, the suturing of the valve is usually with some traction on the annulus and also there is a risk of aortic valve injury. this study was conducted to evaluate a new technique for suturing to avoid these complications and decrease the time of cardiac arrest. one hundred and se...

Many surgeries are complicated by the need to anastomose, or reconnect, micrometre-scale vessels. Although suturing remains the gold standard for anastomosing vessels, it is difficult to place sutures correctly through collapsed lumen, making the procedure prone to failure. Here, we report a multiphase transitioning peptide hydrogel that can be injected into the lumen of vessels to facilitate s...

Objective-comparative evaluation of different surgical methods of vesicoureteral reflux induction in rabbits.Design- Elective experimental study.Animals- sixteen healthy male rabbits.Procedures- sixteen healthy NewZiland White male rabbits were randomly divided in four equal groups. All rabbits were preoperatively evaluated with retrograde cystography for the presence or absence of congenital o...

Background: The optimizing performance through intrinsic motivation and attention for learning (OPTIMAL) theory proposes that enhancing expectancies future supporting learners’ autonomy facilitate motor learning. However, the effects of these factors on medical skills such as suturing have not been understood. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate enhanced support (AU) performance, learni...
