background inguinal hernia is the most prevalent surgical disease in clinical practice. endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has been shown to be slightly superior to open approaches. recent modifications in the minilaparoscopic technique may improve the totally extraperitoneal repair (tep) results. objectives we have performed a prospective study to analyze the feasibility of laparoscopic inguina...

Background: According to the modern concept of ocular traumatism, great importance is attached choice atraumatic tactics for removal intraocular foreign bodies (IFB), especially when they are localized in structures posterior segment eye. Purpose: The aim study was feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy delayed IFB open trauma eyeball with damage segment. Material methods: material based on...

Ventricular arrhythmias in patients after total surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot have been associated with late sudden death. In this large multicenter retrospective study of 359 patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot, spontaneous ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) on 24. hour ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring and laboratory-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT) by el...

The worldwide increase in morbidly obese patients with complex hernia raises controversies the choice of appropriate treatment timing: synchronous bariatric and abdominal wall surgery versus delayed surgery. We report an innovative tailored surgical carried out at our Institution. approach provided injection, 6 weeks before surgery, 500 IU botulinum toxin A on either side large muscles. Four pn...

 Abstract Background: Renal insufficiency is a potential complication after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and is a significant risk factor for postoperative mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of this risk factor, before and during operation. Methods: In this prospective study, between 2003 and 2006, 45 patients underwent repair of an infrarena...

over the last 50 years, significant progress has been made in the surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (taaa).   improvements in perioperative care and surgical techniques have resulted in reductions in complication and mortality rates. adjunctive use of distal aortic perfusion and cerebrospinal fluid drainage has been especially helpful, reducing the incidence of neurological d...

Introduction: Neonatal nasal airway obstruction induces various degrees of respiratory distress. The management of this disease, including surgical repair, will depend on the severity and location of the obstruction. We describe here a case of congenital nasal nostril stenosis that required surgical repair for stenting of both nares after coanal atresia repair.   Case Report: A 2 days old femal...

PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to address the treatment of multiligament knee injuries, specifically (1) surgical versus nonoperative treatment, (2) repair versus reconstruction of injured ligamentous structures, and (3) early versus late surgery of damaged ligaments. METHODS Two independent reviewers performed a search on PubMed from 1966 to August 2007 using the terms "kn...

BACKGROUND Although coronary sinus catheter-related injuries (CSCRIs) are rare, they are potentially lethal. The purpose of this study was to evaluate such injuries, the repair methods used, and to identify related risk factors for mortality. METHODS A retrospective review of 10,552 cardiac surgical procedures from 1995 to 2000 in which retrograde cardioplegia was used revealed 10 cases (n = ...

Despite extensive research and surgical innovation, the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries remains a complex issue, particularly in nonsharp lesions. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome in a group of 16 patients who underwent, in emergency, a primary repair for crush injury of sensory and mixed nerves of the upper limb with biological tubulization, namely, the muscle-ve...
