OBJECTIVE We investigated whether omentopexy combined with subcutaneously administered granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) reduces infarction areas and improves left ventricular dysfunction in a rabbit model of coronary occlusion and reperfusion. METHODS A coronary artery of a male Japanese white rabbit was ligated for 30 min and then reperfused. An omental pedicle graft was fixed o...

BACKGROUND The most important aims of the treatment of CLC are long-term relief of symptoms and elimination of cysts. Treatment of choice is yet debated. METHODS Data of patients treated for CLC during a 35-years experience were retrospectively analyzed. Variables analyzed were: age, sex, hepatic cyst location, cyst diameter, symptoms, surgical procedure, short and long-term outcomes. RESUL...

OBJECTIVE We assessed a unique technique of laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion which can minimize catheter dysfunction. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing laparoscopic PD catheter placement with a Quinton percutaneous insertion kit between July 2000 and December 2004. RESULTS Thirty-one catheters were placed laparoscopically. The mean op...

PURPOSE Despite the great advances in laparoscopic techniques, most active general surgeons do not apply laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of duodenal ulcer perforation when facing a real-life emergency. Therefore, our study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in duodenal ulcer perforation, and provide a step-by-step protocol with tips and recommendations for le...

The healing process of bronchial wound was compared among wrapping tissues such as pedicled omentum, pericardium, and parietal pleura in terms of the degrees of revascularization of the bronchial artery interrupted by bronchoplasty itself by microangiography, including the circumstances of performing a procedure of esophagectomy. The development of neovascularity was marked and facilitated by o...

The objectives of this retrospective study were 1. To determine the effect of three surgical techniques (right flank omentopexy, right flank omentoabomasopexy, and left flank abomasopexy), and 2. To determine the effect of concurrent disease on return to normal milk production. Return to normal milk production occurred in 86.3% of cows diagnosed with LDA. Results suggested that cattle diagnosed...
