Background: Martin-Gruber anastomosis (MGA) is the well known anostomosis that occur at the various levels between the median and ulnar nerves. This anastomosis involves axons leaving either the main trunk of median nerve or the anterior interosseous nerve, crossing through the forearm to join the ulnar nerve. Knowledge of the incidence of this anastomosis is necessary because MGA can cause con...

In certain circumstances, because of the relative position or inadequate size of the vessels available for systemic-pulmonary artery anastomosis, an operation either of the Blalock or the Potts type may be difficult or impossible. Barrett and Daley (1949) have recorded several cases where such technical difficulties existed. Anastomosis between the ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery ...

Background Acute ascending aortic dissections is the most common catastrophe of the aorta that requires emergency surgery. There is still a debate regarding the optimal surgical approaches for construction of the distal anastomosis in replacing the ascending aorta. The purpose of this study was to evaluate early clinical outcomes of two different surgical techniques: open distal anastomosis in ...

Characteristics of blood-flow velocities were investigated at different sites in two types of coronary artery bypass grafts, sequential saphenous vein grafts (SSVG) and internal mammary artery grafts (IMAG). The latter appear to have the longest life span. The patency rate of the side-to-side anastomosis of the SSVG is better than that of the end-to-side anastomosis. The SSVG was anastomosed to...

Background: Bowel anastomosis is successful when there accurate union with no tension.Previous literature has compared between hand suturing and stapling devices in retrospective andprospective designs varying outcomes. In this study a comparison andsurgical patients undergoing bowel surgery done. Methods: A prospective designover period of 12 months was conducted 40 elective resection andanast...

: Iatrogenic tracheoesophageal fistulae (TEF) following tracheostomy is unique in that the tracheal segment involved too long to allow for a tension-free anastomosis traditional TEF repair. Repairing according surgical methods will result complicated procedures and high complications due tension of after removal section trachea or even inability directly anastomosis. Difficulty direct end-to-en...

Aim . To evaluate the incidence and causes of peptic ulcers gastrojejunal anastomosis to develop corresponding preventive measures. Materials Methods We retrospectively analysed case histories patients with ulcer who have been admitted our surgical unit during 1981-1996 2007-2021. A total 62 underwent Billroth II resection were examined radiographically, endoscopically, intraoperatively, includ...

OBJECTIVES In expert hands, the intrathoracic oesophago-gastric anastamosis usually provides a low rate of strictures and leaks. However, anastomoses can be technically challenging and time consuming when minimally invasive techniques are used. We present our preliminary results of a standardised 25 mm/4.8mm circular-stapled anastomosis using a trans-orally placed anvil. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

OBJECTIVE Reflux is the principal complication for patients after esophagectomy with gastric reconstruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the modified Nissen fundoplication after resection of adenocarcinoma from the esophagogastric junction (AEG) on controlling the reflux and the role of duodenogastroesophageal reflux (DGER) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression leve...

Approximately 50% of patients have an unsatisfactory functional result after traditional restorative rectal resection, and an even higher percentage, at least in the early postoperative period, suffers from urgency, frequent bowel movements, and occasional faecal incontinence. The rectal reservoir function is disturbed after restorative surgery. This is related to the size of the rectal remnant...
