The goals of post-transplant management are to manage and treat postoperative complications, and develop a balanced long-term immunotherapy regimen that minimizes infection and side effects but controls rejection. While modern immunosuppressant regimes have reduced rates of graft loss due to rejection, they impart major risks for infection, growth failure, metabolic complications, and malignanc...

background: respiratory problems are common after long bone fractures. the objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the effect of early fixation of femoral shaft fracture on the incidence of respiratory problems.   methods: the results of early and late stabilization of femoral shaft fractures were studied in 150 patients. the patients were divided into two groups according to the ...

Background and Aim: This study aimed to present the results of early and delayed operation on patients with ruptured brain aneurysms. In addition to comparing the results and rates of morbidity and mortality in the surgical procedure and identifying the effective factors, this study aimed to provide methods to improve the treatment of brain aneurysm. Methods and Materials/Patients: This was a ...

bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. sinus of valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...

Background: Adenotonsillectomy (ASTS) is the commonest surgical procedure undertaken in children by otolaryngologists the world over. This operation is associated with various complications the commonest of which include haemorrhage, infection, vomiting and odynophagia. I carried out a prospective study aimed at determining the rate, timing and factors associated with early complications after ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to describe and to analyze early severe digestive complications (ESDC) after lung transplantation (LT) in our center. METHODS A retrospective study included 351 patients, who underwent LT without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at our center between March 1988 and December 2009. There were 86 double LTs and 265 single LTs. ESDCs were defined as complications (1) occurr...

To date a number of techniques have been used for cataract surgery. However phacoemulsification is the most common method. Other methods such as intraand extracapsular cataract extraction, mini-nuc, phacosection, sandwich and phaconit have also been used by many surgeons. Over the years, the techniques of cataract surgery have evolved into a safe and successful procedure for visual rehabilitati...

BACKGROUND Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of cranial vault sutures. The overall incidence is 3-5/10,000 live births. With multiple craniosynostoses, brain growth may be impeded by the unyielding skull. Most cases of single suture involvement can be treated with linear excision of suture. Involvement of multiple sutures or skull has usually required combined efforts of neurosurgeons an...

Context: Radical cystectomy (RC) is probably the most extensive urologic operation, involving simultaneous surgery on the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts and lymph node dissection. Consequently, early complications and morbidity frequently occur due to the complexity of the procedure. Objective: This review is focused on early complications related to RC but not related to urinary diversion...
