Background: The surgical management of large bowel emergency patients remains controversial. However, there has been an increasing trend toward primary reconstructive surgery. Objective: To evaluate one-stage procedure versus two-stage in cases presented with obstructed nonperforated cancer colon terms operative time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, peri-operative mortality, and qua...

In young patients with borderline ovarian tumor a conservative treatment approach does not seem to have a significant impact on survival, and the outcome regarding fertility is good in general. It can be considered even if noninvasive peritoneal implants are discovered at the time of the initial surgery. In contrast, in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, conservative surgery should be con...

Unique and expanded applications of staged operative management are undergoing careful evaluation in many civilian level I trauma centers under the rubric of damage control surgery. Recently there have been advocates for its broad application to the early management of critically injured combat casualties. However, the enormous logistic requirements for such strategies are contrary to the deman...

OBJECTIVE A retrospective analysis of early postoperative pain in the first and second knee in staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to provide a clinical evidence for the change of analgesic strategy. METHODS From January 2009 to January 2013, 87 cases which meet the inclusion criterion were retrospectively reviewed. In stage TKA, the postoperative pain in the first and second knee ...

Macroglossia can create dental and skeletal instability after orthodontic treatment or orthognathic surgery for mandibular prognathism. In relevant literature, partial glossectomy is suggested for a good post-treatment prognosis. Most of the published partial glossectomy cases are two-staged surgery, because of concern about postoperative airway obstruction. As orthognathic surgical techniques ...

BACKGROUND Deep sternal wound complications are uncommon after cardiac surgery. They comprise sternal dehiscence, deep sternal wound infections and mediastinitis, which will be treated as varying expressions of a singular pathology for reasons explained in the text. METHODOLOGY AND REVIEW This article reviews the definition, prevalence, risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, microbiology and ma...

1 SUMMARY In this project, we add a limited subset of staged functions to the Spatial hardware accelerator design language. This support includes implementation of language support for staged functions, analyses for optimizing performance and area, and generating synthesizable implementations of these staged functions. We evaluate these additions by comparing the runtime and area of a set of be...

DESIGN Retrospective, comparative, nonrandomized clinical study. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-six patients (158 eyes). METHODS A review of electronic medical ...

Background: Some early staged NSCLC appears as non-subpleural peripheral pulmonary nodules. Thoracic surgeons usually adopt extended wedge resection or segmentectomy to remove these Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been carried out extensively worldwide in lung surgeries. The purpose of this study was evaluate changes postoperative function after undergoing VATS and anatomical ‏r...
