Aims: To determine and compare the effectiveness, periand postoperative outcomes of mid-urethral sling (MUS) operations for urinary incontinence, using 2 different patient positions during surgery. Methods: In this study, 146 patients underwent MUS surgery in a urogynecology clinic. Of them, 72 patients underwent the intraoperative surgical procedure of reverse trendelenburg patient positioning...

PURPOSE Determining and improving the accuracy of patient positioning in pelvic fields. METHODS AND MATERIALS Small pelvic fields were studied in 16 patients treated for urological cancers using a three-field isocentric technique. Large pelvic fields were studied in 17 gynecological cancer patients treated with anterior and posterior (AP-PA) parallel opposed fields. Quantitative analysis of 6...

BACKGROUND A recent multicenter trial demonstrated decreased mortality when patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome were treated with prone positioning (PP). However, the optimal duration of this treatment has not been established. METHODS From May 2010 to August 2013, 15 patients with respiratory failure underwent extended-duration prone positioning (more than 40 h) in the medical-...

Dyspnea can be challenging to manage because it often is exacerbated by anxiety. Patient positioning and relaxation and breathing techniques can help.

background: to reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the computerized tomography (ct) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. this can be followed during dose delivery procedure as image guided radiotherapy (igrt) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor radiation...

We describe three patients who developed meralgia paraesthetica after the use of a well-padded and carefully-placed patient-positioning device in total hip replacement.

The rapidly aging population not only causes long hospital waiting times and expensive hospital waits, but also it increases the time to fix an appointment, workload of doctors and medical practitioners. Managing the cost and quality of treatment and caring of seniors are becoming key pressing issues both in developed and developing countries. Diagnosing and continuous record of realtime data b...

Preoperative three-dimensional planning methods have been described extensively. However, transferring the virtual plan to the patient is often challenging. In this report, we describe the management of a severely malunited distal radius fracture using a patient-specific plate for accurate spatial positioning and fixation. Twenty months postoperatively the patient shows almost painless reconstr...
