Chronic ankle instability can be a disabling condition requiring surgical correction. The Brostrom procedure is the most common repair technique used for primary repair of the lateral ankle ligaments. Infrequently, this procedure fails and requires revisional surgery. Revisional cases necessitate augmentation to strengthen the repair. Highdemand athletes, patients with high Body Mass Indexes, a...

AIM We present a novel surgical technique for repair of persistent and symptomatic cyclodialysis clefts refractory to conservative or minimally invasive treatment. BACKGROUND Numerous surgical techniques have been described to close cyclodialysis clefts. The current standard approach involves intraocular repair of cyclodialysis clefts underneath a full-thickness scleral flap. TECHNIQUE Our ...

Surgical intervention for post-infarct ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a challenging procedure due to patients’ complex preoperative conditions. While percutaneous VSD closure can be considered as an alternative surgical repair, complete of the remains difficult and associated with various procedural complications. We report rare case patient postoperative residual shunts who experienced rec...

Summary An 8‐month‐old Thoroughbred filly presented for surgical repair of a fracture the right olecranon. Fixation with an orthopaedic plate and screws was attempted, complications intraoperative haemorrhage poor bone viability. The euthanised 5 days after repair, following post‐operative secondary fracture. Primary hepatoblastoma liver metastasis humerus, radius ulna were diagnosed at necrops...

We present the first case of 45 year-old male with an incidental non-symptomatic right common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm with concomitant aortic ectasia in the setting of severe alcoholic pancreatitis and a horseshoe kidney diagnosed by CT and MRA. Such findings would have posed significant difficulty during an open approach precluding safe surgical repair. Therefore, an exclusion endovascular...

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a cyanotic congenital heart disease which, without corrective surgery, has a poor prognosis. These patients have an increased incidence of arrhythmias both supraventricular and ventricular post surgical correction. The supraventricular arrhythmias are usually related to the scar tissue at the surgical repair site. We present a case of a young male patient status pos...

The gold standard treatment of degenerative mitral valve disease remains surgical repair. The classic repair described by Dr. Carpentier (1) with leaflet resection and annuloplasty remains the primary technique for mitral repair. Other techniques such as the “American correction” (2) or artificial chordae have been introduced with similar success rates. Innovations in surgical approach over the...

We readwith great interest the recent article byWheatley III Grayson et al. on the safety and effectiveness of endovascular repair for primary adult coarctation (PAAC) as an alternative to surgical repair [1]. They report excellent early and midterm results on 16 adult patients with PAAC treated with endovascular repair. The study group included three (18.7%) PAAC patients associated with bicus...
