Full textThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of nasal skin cancer, its location by facial aesthetic subunits and the type of reconstructive procedures performed for each nasal subunit after excision for nasal skin tumors. Observational cross-sectional study of all consecutive patients with the diagnosis of skin tumor located in the nasal unit, treated from 2018 to 2019 by the department of head and neck surgery of a general hospital. 60 patients were treated with nasal skin tumors excisions. A total of 52 patients (86,6%) had basal cell skin cancer, 7 (11,6%) had squamous cell skin cancer and 1 (1,6%) had melanoma. Fifty-nine patients (98.33%) presented a primary tumor and just 1 case (1,66%) recived a previous surgical treatment. Regardless of the type of tumor, the tip subunit was the most often involved with 29 (48,33%) cases in total. Despite of the nasal aesthetic subunit affected, the most frequent type of procedure used for reconstruction was the rotation or advancement flap, based on aesthetic nasal subunits, which was performed in 39 cases (65%). Nasal reconstruction after skin cancer can be very complex, especially since all patients have high expectations about the results. In order to achieve good results, there is a necessity for careful analysis of the defect, correct planning and excellent technical execution of the procedures Frequently, staged procedures will be needed to achieve an optimal result.

Full textThe department of surgery is the core unit of the patient care system within a hospital. Due to continuous technical and medical developments, such departments are equipped with increasingly high-tech surgery rooms. This provides higher benefits for patient treatment, but also increases the complexity of the procedures' workflow. This also induces the presence of multiple electronic systems providing rich and various information about the surgical processes. The focus of this work is the development of statistical methods that permit the modeling and monitoring of surgical processes, based on signals available in the surgery room. We introduce and formalize the problem of recognizing phases within a workflow, using a representation of interventions in terms of multidimensional time-series formed by synchronized signals acquired over time. We then propose methods for the modeling, offline segmentation and on-line recognition of surgical phases. The main method, a variant of hidden Markov models augmented by phase probability variables, is demonstrated on two medical applications. The first one is the monitoring of endoscopic interventions, using cholecystectomy as illustrative surgery. Phases are recognized using signals indicating tool usage and recorded from real procedures. The second application is the monitoring of a generic surgery room workflow. In this case, phase recognition is performed by using 4D information from surgeries performed in a mock-up operating room in presence of a multi-view reconstruction system

Este estudio evalúa las complicaciones en los primeros 30 días luego de reconstrucción mamaria post mastectomía para cáncer de mama no metastásico en sus diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas. Métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva de pacientes con reconstrucción mamaria post mastectomía en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN) entre 2014-2018. Los desenlaces fueron las complicaciones quirúrgicas en los 30 días siguientes a la cirugía. Se obtuvieron incidencias acumuladas, y se evaluó su asociación con diversos factores clínico-demográficos mediante riesgos relativos crudos y ajustados (aRR) obtenidos vía Regresión de Poisson con varianza robusta. Resultados: De 2092 pacientes que tuvieron mastectomía en el INEN entre 2014-2018, solo 271 tuvieron reconstrucción mamaria. De ellas 148 tuvieron datos completos y cumplieron los criterios de selección. La mediana de edad fue 45 años, 62.16% tuvieron sobrepeso/obesidad, y 35.85% tenían estadio clínico III. El 28.38% tuvieron reconstrucción inmediata autóloga, 33.11% reconstrucción inmediata usando prótesis, y 38.51% reconstrucción tardía. El 48.65% de los pacientes experimentó alguna complicación en el mes siguiente post cirugía, siendo las complicaciones más frecuentes dehiscencia de sutura (20.27%) e infección superficial (18.92%). Obesidad (RR 1.96; 1.24-3.10), y tener Técnica Inmediata (RR 1.54; 1.04-2.27) se asociaron a más complicaciones. Uso de Técnica Protésica fue protector (RR 0.59; 0.40-0.85), así como también Quimioterapia Neoadyuvante (RR 0.65; 0.42-0.99). Conclusiones: La técnica quirúrgica protésica tuvo menos probabilidades de presentar complicaciones que la autóloga. Asimismo, la cirugía inmediata presenta más probabilidades de presentar complicaciones que la diferida. Las variables como obesidad, terapia neoadyuvante y ECOG intervienen en la presentación de complicaciones.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The anterolateral thigh flap is based on the perforator vessels of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. This flap has very interesting characteristics for the reconstructive surgery, like the small thickness, long pedicle and excellent donor site. On the other hand, there are many controversial data on the literature about the perforator vessels and the pedicle course of this flap. The aims of this study are to establish some anatomical parameters and clear some controversies. METHOD: A hundred thighs of 50 cadavers were studied for: 1- The number and location of the perforator vessels. 2- The course of the perforator pedicles. 3- The intramuscular course. 4- The length of the intramuscular course. 5- The total length of the vascular pedicle. 6- The diameter of the vessels. and 7- The thickness of the flap. RESULTS: 1- There were found from 0 to 4 perforators per thigh, all in a 6cm radius from the mid point between the anterosuperior iliac spine and the lateral border of the patella. 2- The pedicles was musculocutaneous in 75,76% of the thighs and septocutaneous in 24,24%. 3- Among the musculocutaneous pedicles, 86,67% had a direct intramuscular course, and 13,33% had indirect course. 4- The mean length of the intramuscular course was 3,67 ± 2,01 cm. 5- The mean total pedicle length was 11,31 ± 3,12 cm. 6-The mean artery diameter on the origin of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery was 2,21 ± 0,85 mm and the mean vein diameter on the same spot was 2,66 ±1,33 mm and 2,10 ± 1,11 mm. 7- The mean subcutaneous fat tissue thickness was 8,98 ± 6,23 mm and the mean skin thickness was e 1,60 ± 0,76 mm. CONCLUSIONS: 1- There was a possibility of finding no perforators of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. 2- When present, the perforators pedicles were found in numbers between 1 to 4, always in a 6cm radius from the mid point between the anterosuperior iliac spine and the lateral border of the patella. 3- The perforators pedicles courses were predominantly musculocutaneous. 4- The intramuscular courses were mainly indirect. 5- The intramuscular length was responsible for 31,69% of the total length of the vascular pedicle. 6- The total length of the pedicle was adequate for either local or microsurgical transfers. 7- The arterial and venous diameters were adequate for microsurgical anastomosis. 8- The female cadavers had significantly thicker flaps, but both in the male and the female cadavers the flap was considerably thin.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The vascularized medial femoral condyle osseous flap has been an option for the treatment of bone defects since 1991. This flap owes its irrigation to the descending genicular artery (DGA) and, in its absence, to the medial superior genicular artery (MSGA), both originating from the superficial femoral artery (SFA). DGA commonly branches into three main branches: the muscular branch to the vastus medialis muscle (MB), the saphenous branch that irrigates the skin (SB) and the osteoarticular branch (OAB), which nourishes the periosteum, bone and subchondral region of the medial femoral condyle. The common origin of these branches enables the transference of multiple tissues (periosteum, bone, cartilage, muscle and skin) nourished by a single potential vascular pedicle, prone to microsurgical anastomosis, given anatomical variations are not present. Description of the anatomical patterns of the DGA and its branches motivated the present study, which aimed to detail the anthropometric characteristics of the anatomical specimens and describe the several variables involved in the dissection of the vascularized medial femoral condyle flap. METHODS: From June 2015 to November 2017, 30 thighs of 20 fresh male cadavers were dissected in the \"Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos da Capital\" (SVOC-USP). The following variables were recorded: age; stature; weight; thigh length (distance between the greater trochanter of the femur to the tibiofemoral joint); presence of the DGA; distance between the origin of the DGA from the femoral artery and the joint surface (JS); distance between the origin of the DGA and the MB and SB; if the SB originated from the DGA; length of the MB, SB and OAB and the diameters of the DGA and venae comitantes. RESULTS: The DGA was present in 93.3% of the specimens (28/30) and the periosteum was nourished by the MSGA in the two remaining cases. SB originated from the DGA in 76.7% of the dissections (23/70). The results were as follows: mean age = 69,1(±14,0) years, mean height = 171,7(±5,1) cm, mean weight 65,9(±15,4) kg, mean thigh length = 42,8(±1,6) cm, mean distance between DGA origin and JS = 13,4(±1,4) cm, mean distance between DGA origin and MB = 2,6(±1,6) cm, mean distance between AGD origin and SB = 1,2(±0,7) cm, mean length of the DGA = 7,5(±1,5) cm, mean length of MB = 0,9(±0,3) cm, mean diameter of the DGA = 1,9(±0,3) mm, mean diameter of the vena comitans = 1,7(±0,3) mm. The mean length and diameter of the MSGA were 4,1(±0,4) cm and 1,7(±0,1) mm, respectively. CONCLUSION: The vascularized medial femoral condyle flap is a versatile option for the reconstruction of complex three-dimensional lesions of the musculoskeletal system, with straightforward dissection and relatively constant anatomy. It allows the transference of bone, cartilage, muscular tissue and a thin cutaneous flap, each one nourished by independent branches (OAB, MB and SB) on most occasions

Full textANNOTATION OF DISERTATION Subject of disertation: Surgical treatment of patients suffering from ischemic heart disease with significantly decreased left ventricle systolic function: clinical evaluation. Objective - evaluation of clinical status and long-term postoperative survival of patients suffering from ischemic heart disease and decreased left ventricle systolic function (LV EF ≤ 35%) after isolated coronary by-pass grafting and left ventricle volume and shape surgical restoration operations. Retrospective study. The study group included 216 patients for whom coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and 139 patients who underwent surgical ventricular restoration (SVR). It was postulated that the long-term survival (up to 7 years) in patients after CABG and long-term survival (6 years) in patients after SVR is good. It was found out that the risk of fatal outcome during the first 30 days after CABG in patients 0suffering from ischemic LV dysfunction and symptoms of angina pectoris with viable myocardium, statistically reliably did not differ from patients with nonviable myocardium. It was stated that patients with greater functional class during one year after CABG, preoperatively had longer duration of ECG QRS complex, higher end-diastolic findings and had lower number of by-passes during the operation. We also demonstrated that LV shape and volume restoration operations were being performed for patients with highly advanced LV remodeling safely and postoperative risk... [to full text]

Full textThis study consisted of two parts – experimental and clinical. Experimental part was conducted at the Department of Mechanization and Design Engineering of The Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad. Thirty two proximal tibial articular surfaces together with the anterior cruciate ligament insertion of thirty two patients were harvested during total knee arthroplasty. All patients had standard preoperative AP and profile radiographs with standard magnification in order to acquire the knee measurements. All patients previously signed the informed consent. The harvested proximal tibial articular surfaces were 3D scanned by a haptic device called „Phantom Omni®“ in order to determine the correlation between the size of the anterior cruciate ligament insertion site and the size of the tibial plateau. Thirty two randomly chosen patients of both sexes which had a knee arthroplasty were included in the experimental part of this study. All of the patients signed the informed consent at The Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of The Clinical Centre of Vojvodina. The clinical part was a retrospective-prospective study. This part included 60 randomly chosen patients divided into two groups. The test group consisted of 30 patients who had undergone a revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The control group consisted of 30 patients who had undergone only primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A bone-tendon-bone graft was used for the reconstruction in all cases. The outcome was assessed by using Tegner activity scale, Lysholm knee scoring scale, IKDC score, arthrometric evaluation, Pivot shift test and the position of the graft. The results were compared between the test group and the control group. The clinical part of the study included 60 patients of both sexes, age 18-40 which were operated at The Clinic for Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of The Clinical Centre of Vojvodina. All of the patients signed the informed consent for participation in this study. The exclusion criteria were age under 18 and above 40, occurrence of severe general surgical complications and a patient wish to be excluded from further investigation. After a thorough analysis of the results, we concluded that the correlation between the size of the anterior cruciate ligament tibial insertion site and the size of the tibial plateau exists. Formula which was created for this study by using mathematical and statistical methods, is adequate and practically applicable for the prediction of size of the anterior cruciate ligament tibial insertion site in the majority of cases based on just two preoperative radiographic parameters – AP and profile diameter of the tibial plateau. The use of this formula may improve the outcome of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We also concluded that the cause of the primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure is multifactorial as well as that there is no statistically significant difference between the patients with good and the patients with poor graft position. We confirmed the assumption that the outcome of the revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is poorer than the outcome of the primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Full textIntroduction: The anatomy of bilateral cleft lip is different for each patient, and many authors have described modifications of the traditional repairing techniques in order to achieve more individualized designs and better results. The techniques described by Millard and Mulliken are probably the most commonly used all over the world for repairing bilateral cleft lip; however, there are some short-comings when trying to repair asymmetric forms of bilateral cleft lip. So, we designed this technique aiming to correct asymmetry in bilateral cleft lip. This technique is based on a double advancement and lateral rotation concept placing the scars over the natural lines between the esthetic subunits of the upper lip. Matherial and Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study based on a case series. We present a new technique used for surgical repair of bilateral cleft lip in 125 patients. The technique is based in the double advancement and lateral rotation concept which allows lengthening of the shortest lateral lip segment. Most of the incisions are performed on the natural lip landmarks, between the aesthetic subunits of the upper lip. Results were assessed considering the number of failures observed after following up patients for more than one year, performing physical examination and analyzing standardized postoperative pictures. Results: This technique has been used in 125 procedures for repairing cleft lip. We obtained good functional and esthetic outcomes for both nose and lips using this technique. The rate of poor results was 15/125 (12%). These latter procedures had to undergo major secondary surgical revisions. Conclusions: We describe a new technique for surgical repair of asymmetric bilateral cleft lip. This technique led to the elongation of the shortest lateral labial segment, allowing us to achieve good esthetic and functional results on upper lip and nose reconstruction in cases of bilateral asymmetric cleft lip.

Full textIntraoperative contamination of autograft during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction still remains a topic for debate among orthopaedic surgeons mainly concerning the need and the way of its treatment. Graft contamination arises after pathogen settlement from the surrounding air, from skin and mucoses of patient and staff, as well as not enough sterilized instruments. Pathogens found in graft contamination are the same ones who are causes of septic arthritis, which is the most common complication in arthroscopic surgery in general. Consequences of septic arthritis usually leave a huge impact on patient’s mental and physical status. In modern surgery, it is mandatory to prevent potential auto-graft contamination by irrigation (during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in knee). Most commonly used agents for intraoperative auto-graft irrigation are variety of antiseptic and antibiotic solutions. Even though intraoperative irrigation with saline solution presents one of the most commonly used procedures during different surgical interventions in general, little is said in literature about its usage in auto-graft contamination. The aim of this study was to show that decontamination of auto-graft during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction of the knee can be successfully done by mechanical irrigation with saline (0,9%) solution and also to define a precise quantity of saline for complete decontamination. Furthermore, effects of different factors in surroundings were inspected. The study consisted of two parts: experimental and clinical. Experimental part was conducted at the Department for clinical bacteriology, at Microbiology Centre at the Institute for public health of Vojvodina. It consisted in making the experimental model with in vitro conditions similar to or as the same as in the operating theatre. Experimental model was made of 50 preparated and sterilized pig tendons of deep finger flexors, which are similar dimensions as human anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. Then, the tendons were contaminated with previously defined concentration of most common cause of contamination which is coagulase negative staphylococcus (ATCC 12228 Staphylococcus epidermidis). Contaminated tendons were mechanicaly irrigated with 500ml, 1000ml and 1500ml saline solution. After each irrigation a swab was taken and put in blood agar to grow. Following 24h of incubation, bacterial colonies were counted. Results of experimental model show that 1500ml of saline solution is required for decontamination of tendon. Results of experimental model were used in clinical part of the study which was conducted at the Clinic for orthopaedic surgery and traumatology in Clinical Centre of Vojvodina. It comprised of 200 patients, who were 15-50 years old. Patients were divided in two equal groups: tested and control group. In control group mechanical irrigation of auto-graft was done prior to its implementation with 500ml saline solution, while in tested group 1500ml of saline was used for irrigation. Results of clinical part of the study show that intraoperative irrigation with 1500ml of saline solution is enough for complete decontamination of auto-graft. Furthermore, degree of auto-graft contamination rises with prolonged exposure time on surrounding air, with incrised number of people in the operating theatre and also with number and sequence of operations during the day. Intraoperative mechanical irrigation proved to be a sufficient method that can be used in intraoperative autograft decontamination during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The results of this study can be applied to other aspects of the surgery and could be used and further clinicalstudies.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Microvascular anastomosis is an important component of the free flap surgical procedure. Currently, the conventional suture is still considered the gold standard technique. However, it presents some problems for being technically demanding, time consuming and with a long learning curve. In looking for an easier and faster technique, alternative methods of anastomosis were studied including the fibrin glue. Despite the good results reported in the literature, its acceptance in the clinical setting is still small Controversies regarding its thrombogenicity and mechanical resistance create some concerns about its safeness. The absence of a more realistic experimental model has not allow a full aprecciation of its potencial benefits in clinical use. The aim of this study is clarify these controversies and demonstrate the advantages of fibrin glue application in an environment that can reproduce the clinical practice. METHODS: A free inguinal flap transfer to the anterior cervical region was used as experimental model. The circulation of the flap was restored by means of microvascular anastomosis between the femoral and carotid arteries (end-to-side) and between the femoral and jugular veins (end-to end). The procedures were performed in 20 rabbits that were divided into two groups (n= 10) according to the anastomosis technique: Group I (conventional) and Group II (fibrin glue). RESULTS: The application of fibrin glue significantly reduced the amount of sutures required to complete the anastomoses: 4 less sutures in the arteries and 4,5 less sutures in the veins. In Group I, the mean arterial anastomosis time was 17,21 minutes against 12,72 minutes in Group II. In the veins, the mean anastomosis time in Group I was 22,93 minutes against 16,57 minutes in Group II. The application of fibrin glue also reduced the flap ischemic time and the total operative time by 11,5 minutes and 15,67 minutes, respectively. The flaps\' survival rate was 90% in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: The application of fibrin glue in microvascular anastomoses was reliable and effective in this study.

Full textObjectives: Determine whether the length of the pectoralis major myocutaneous pedicled flap and its ability to reach multiple head and neck sites are influenced by anthropometric data and by the side of flap dissection. The study is also designed to determine whether infraclavicular rotation provides a significant gain in flap reach over supraclavicular rotation. Design: Prospective, cross-sectional and anatomical study on cadavers and patients. Materials: Fifty pectoral major myocutaneous flaps were studied in fresh adult cadavers less than 24 hours after death provided by the Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos of the University of São Paulo, and later in 15 patients undergoing head and neck reconstruction using this flap. Methods: For all cases a standardized quadrangular skin island measuring 8 cm x 6 cm (height x width) was employed, located over the sternocostal portion of the major pectoralis muscle, with the nipple as the medial limit and the muscle\'s inferior border as the caudal limit. All flaps were based only on the pectoralis branch of the thoracoacromial artery and the rotation was initially performed over the clavicle. Pedicle length was measured after rotation, from the midpoint of the clavicle to the superior border of the skin island. The reach of the skin island center was tested to the following sites: laryngeal prominence of the thyroid cartilage, chin, angle of the mandibule, external auditive canal and orbit. Ratios of the length of the pedicle and the reach of the flap and the anthropometric data and dissection side were analyzed. Afterwards, only in the cadavers, the flap was rotated beneath the clavicle and its reach to the same regions was measured again, and then compared to the result obtained from supraclavicular rotation. Results: In the cadavers, the average pedicule flap length was 17.67 ± 2.24 cm, while for the patients, the average length was 16.03 ± 1.35 cm. All flaps reached all studied sites, except for the orbit, which was reached in 20 cases by supraclavicular rotation (40%), and in 21 cases beneath the clavicle (42%) in the cadavers, and in 13.3% of the patients. In the cadavers, infraclavicular rotation did not result in a significant gain in reach to the orbit or to any other studied site (P=0.839 - chi-square), although there was a statistically significant (p=001; Pearson Correlation) gain of 0.61 cm in the average length of the flap. In the univariate analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in the cadavers for the reach of the flap to the orbit in individuals with a greater acromion-trochanter distance (DAT; p= 0.008 - Student\'s t-test), greater biacromial distance (DBA; p= 0.024 - Student\'s t-test) and a smaller value for the ratio of the mastoidsuprasternal notch distance over the acromion-trochanter distance - DMF/DAT (p= 0.005 - Student\'s t-test). It was also observed that the cadavers whose flaps reached the orbit had statistically higher body weights (p=0.036 - Student\'s t-test). With regard to the length of the flap, in the univariate analysis, there was a positive and statistically significant correlation between the length of the flap and the biacromial distance - DBA (r= 0.311; p= 0.028 - Pearson correlation); a negative and statistically significant correlation with the ratio of the mastoid-suprasternal notch distance over the biacromial distance - DMF/DBA (r= -0.362; p= 0.010 - Pearson correlation) and with the ratio between the mastoid-suprasternal notch distance over the acromion-trochanter distance - DMF/DAT (r= -0.403; p= 0.004 - Pearson correlation). Whereas in the patients, the univariate analysis showed a positive and statistically significant correlation between the length of the flap and the length of the sternum (CE) (r= 0.722; p= 0.002 - Spearman correlation) and a negative and statistically significant correlation with the ratio between the mastoidsuprasternal notch distance over the length of the sternum - DMF/CE (r= - 0.587; p= 0.021 - Spearman correlation). With the results obtained in this last analysis, the variables in the patients with p < 0.20 were submitted to multivariate analysis using linear regression in an effort to establish an equation to predict the length of the vascular flap. Sternum length (p=0.004) was the only variable found that was capable of determining the length of the vascular pedicle of the PMMC flap. Based on these regression data, an equation was formulated to determine the length of the vascular pedicle of the PMMC flap (COMP) based on the length of the sternum (CE), as follows: COMP = 2.54 + 0.64 X CE. Conclusions: Infraclavicular rotation of the pectoral major myocutaneous flap does not add to the reach of the flap to the head and neck region as compared to supraclavicular rotation; the reach of the pectoral major myocutaneous flap is not influenced by the side of the dissection or by anthropometric measures; and the length of the vascular pedicle is not influenced by the side of dissection, but is positively influenced by sternum length. Although anthropometric measures do not influence the reach of the flap according to this anatomical model, it can be inferred that the determinant equation of the length of the pedicle can, in practice, contribute to the planning of head and neck reconstruction using the pectoral major myocutaneous flap, especially for more cranial defects

Full textMicrosurgical reconstruction of the esophagus and pharynx with a jejunal segment is one of the current options available for repairing defects caused by pharyngolaryngectomies. Main advantages of this technique are: compatible diameters of the jejunal segment with the pharyngeal and esophageal openings, lower incidence of stenosis when compared to cutaneous reconstructions, and less contamination in relation to techniques using colonic fragments. Nevertheless, the vascular pedicle is sometimes too short and the flaccid walls of the jejunum associated with its mucous secretion render adaptation to phonatory prosthesis more difficult. Finally, operative morbidity may be increased due to the need for laparotomy in order to obtain the jejunal segment. The aim of this work was to evaluate, in a retrospective fashion, the technical aspects, morbi-mortality and functional results of a series of patients submitted to this reconstructive method at a single institution. During the period of 1989 to 2000 a total of 35 male patients with an average age of 55 years received a microsurgical flap of the jejunum for pharyngoesophageal reconstruction, at the Hospital das Clínicas of São Paulo University Medical School. Thirty four patients had malignant tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract and one had a injury. Eleven cases had been previously submitted to radiotherapy. The majority of patients (85.7%) underwent reconstruction immediately following ablative surgery. By means of median supraumbilical laparotomy an intestinal segment located 30 to 50 cm away from the angle of Treitz was chosen taking into note that it had to be nourished by long branches of the superior mesenteric vessels and to also maintain its continuity to the primary vascular arcade throughout the segment to be transplanted. The segment was transposed to its definitive vascular bed always respecting an isoperistaltic position. Functional effective restoration of the higher digestive transit was possible in 84.0% of cases. Graft loss occurred in 14%, and the mortality rate was of 2.9%, caused by obstructive acute abdomen. Functional results were evaluated according to the Schechter scoring scale, where parameters such as swallowing, voice and weight are taken into account. In 45% of the cases the scores were between 5 and 6, representing good repairing quality. Considering the degree of severity of these patients and the magnitude of the surgical procedures, we concluded that pharyngoesophageal reconstruction utilizing microsurgical jejunal flaps is a feasible method with good functional rehabilitation results and acceptable morbidity and mortality rates for our patient population

Full textIntroduction: Pharyngeal flap surgery (PFS) is a procedure employed in the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency, which main symptom is hypernasality. In order to complement the perceptual findings of speech results of the PFS, instrumental methods such as nasometry and pressure-flow technique are used. Purpose: To investigate the effect of PFS on speech outcomes comparing the three types of more incidents cleft lip and palate: unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP), bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) and isolated cleft palate (CP). Methods: Cross-sectional study by means of retrospective analysis of pre- and postoperative findings on nasometric and aerodynamic assessments of 290 patients (73 UCLP, 105 BCLP and 112 CP) who underwent superiorly based pharyngeal flap surgery. Nasalance (acoustic correlate of nasality) is determined during the reading of standardized speech samples, using a nasometer (Kay Elemetrics Corp.), with a cutoff of 27%. In the aerodynamic assessment, the velopharyngeal closure is estimated from the measure of the velopharyngeal minimum cross-sectional area (PERCI-SARS system), during the production of the phone [p], inserted in the word \"rampa\", allowing to estimate it according to the following classification: values from 0 to 4,9 mm2=adequate closure, 5 to 9,9 mm2=adequate-borderline, 10 to 19,9 mm2=borderline-inadequate and 20 mm2=inadequate closure. Paired t-test compared pre and postoperative nasalance scores for each cleft typeand Anova and Tukey tests verified the differences among the three types of cleft lip and palate, in pre- and postoperative condition. Pre- and postoperative velopharyngeal area was analyzed using the Wilcoxon test for each cleft type. The Kruskal-Wallis test verified the comparison between groups before and after surgery. Results: Mean nasalance scores obtained were 40%, 39% and 44% (Pre) and 25%, 24% and 26% (Post), respectively, for BCLP, UCLP and CP. The proportions of cases with inadequate velopharyngeal closure preoperatively and adequate velopharyngeal closure postoperatively for the three groups (BCLP, UCLP and CP), were 67%, 69% and 80% and 78%, 75% and 72%. In both methods there was no difference in the outcomes between cleft type. Conclusion: PFS was shown to be equally effective in correcting velopharyngeal insufficiency in the three types of cleft lip and palate analyzed: BCLP, UCLP and CP

Full textIndication of the thoracodorsal artery perforator (TAP) flap has been questioned because its characteristics are similar to those of scapular flaps based on the scapular circumflex artery. The scope of this study is to compare the anatomic features of these two flaps, differentiating them for a better indication. Twenty-one pairs of flaps (TAP and scapular) were dissected simultaneously in fresh cadavers. The length of the pedicles, thickness of the arteries and veins of the pedicles, and the thickness of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the flaps were assessed and compared. The position of the pedicles of both flaps was evaluated. The average length of the TAP flap pedicle was 16.95 cm, and it was 50% longer than the scapular flap (p<0.05). The mean thickness of the dermis was 2.12 mm and of the subcutaneous tissue 1.37 cm, respectively 42% and 28% thinner than the scapular flaps (p<0.05). No significant difference was evident between the thicknesses of the pedicles. The TAP arterial pedicle was 3.14 mm and the venous one 3.03 mm. The scapular flap demonstrated a 3.33 mm arterial pedicle and 2.95 mm for the venous one. The evaluation of the position of the pedicle of the scapular flap was constant; on the other hand, the perforator pedicle of the TAP flap did not show any constant anatomical parameter. The study revealed that although the TAP flap and the scapular flap lie in adjacent anatomical areas, the TAP flap has a longer pedicle and a thinner skin; their vascular pedicles have similar thickness; though the position of the thoracodorsal perforator pedicle is variable, when compared with the scapular flap.

Full textAlthough the role of cartilage grafts in reconstruction of the posterior eyelid lamella is well established, conjunctival epithelialization on such grafts has yet to be fully proven. The aim of this study is to perform a comparative analysis, after inferior eyelid reconstruction in rabbits with cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium, the presence of conjunctival epithelialization over conchal cartilage grafts, the area of conjunctival epithelialization over those grafts, the integrity of the corneal structure in contact with the cartilage grafts and the variation of the areas of the cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium. Fifty adult albino New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) between 3 and 4 months of age with average weights from 2.5 to 3.0 kilograms from the University of São Paulo Medical School animal colony were used for the experiment. The posterior lamellae of 100 lower eyelids from were reconstructed with autogenous grafts of conchal ear cartilage and covered with a myocutaneous flap. In the right eyelids, cartilage was grafted with the perichondrium in direct contact with the eyeball, while the left eyelids were reconstructed in a similar manner but using cartilage grafts without perichondrium. The animals were sacrificed after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks after eyelid reconstruction, and their lower eyelids were analyzed macroscopically and histologically. The digital planimetry has demonstrated that in the first week of the experiment there was a reduction of 8,33%, in the average area of the cartilages with perichondrium and a reduction of 18,52% in the average area of the cartilages with perichondrium. The average areas of the cartilages with perichondrium were significantly larger than those on cartilages without perichondrium in weeks 4 and 5 (p=0,0003 and p=0,0001, respectively) and tended to vary over the week 2 (0,0706). No difference was noted between the areas in weeks 1 and 3 (p=0,8583 and p=0,2092). When the conjunctival growth was assessed, it was found that the percentage difference in conjunctival epithelialization on the cartilage with perichondrium and that without perichondrium was 11.41% in the first week of the experiment, 13.64% in the second week, 18.69% in the third, 10.38% in the fourth and 6.17% in the fifth. The average percentage conjunctival epithelialization in the eyelids reconstructed with a cartilage graft with perichondrium was significantly higher for the five weeks of the experiment than that in the eyelids reconstructed with cartilage without perichondrium (p<0.0001). It was found that there was conjunctival growth on the cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium when they were placed in direct contact with the eye. The area of the epithelialization on cartilages with perichondrium was larger than that on cartilages without perichondrium in week 5. Neither keratitis nor corneal ulcers were observed during the 5 weeks of the experiment in the majority of the animals operated on and there was reduction in the areas of the grafts in various degrees, with larger intensity in the grafts without perichondrium.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The use of combined well-vascularized flaps offers better results and rehabilitation for complex head and neck defects. Microsurgical reconstructions are the gold standard. However, there are patients with vessel-depleted necks from multiple recurrences and resections, failed reconstructions, neck dissections, infections, fistulas and radiotherapy, which impair adequate free tissue transfers. With better oncologic therapies, these patients have become more common and lack reconstructive options. OBJECT: To describe a combined ostemyocutaneous pedicled flap based on the internal mammary artery for complex head and neck reconstructions. METHOD: Osteomyocutaneous flaps with 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle were dissected bilaterally on 35 cadavers, 26 male and 9 female. We studied the upper abdominal irrigation through isolation of the superficial superior epigastric artery perforators (SSEA) and the vascular pedicles to the 6th and 7th ribs, and the rectus abdominis muscle arising from the internal mammary, the musculophrenic and the intercostal arteries. The arc of rotation of the flap to the cephalic segment was tested with the pivot point on the lower margin of the first rib. RESULTS: We dissected 114 SSEA, 62 on the right side and 52 on the left. They had an homogeneous mean arterial diameter of 0,68 mm. Sixty perforators (52,7%) were on the group that ranged from 0,5 to 1,0 mm. After statistical analysis, there were no differences in relation to the side as for location and caliber of the perforators. Neither there was any relation of the arterial calibers to the location, age, weight and height of the cadavers. Sixty-two internal mammary artery pedicled osteomyocutaneous flaps, that carried the 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle, were divided in 3 types depending on the vascular pattern to the 6th costal arch. Type 1, where the pedicle to the 6th rib branches from the musculophrenic artery, was the most frequent and dissected in 46 flaps (74,2%). Ten different vascular pedicles to the components of the flap were isolated and measured bilaterally. Only four of them were significantly longer in males and, two, were longer on the right side. The arterial diameters were also homogeneous in relation to the side and sex. The pedicle length to the osseous component of the flap varied from 18,5 to 21,6 cm, which allowed to reach mandible and maxilla in all dissections. The myocutaneous component of the rectus abdominis muscle reached the occipitum in all cases and carried along the deep inferior epigastric vessels for vascular anastomosis if needed. Five patients were operated in 2 years with adequate flap integration and recovery of the mandible contour and function. CONCLUSION: In all cadaveric dissections SSEA perforators were bilaterally present with a caliber bigger than 0,3 mm; internal mammary artery osteomyocutaneous pedicled flaps were constant and reached the cephalic segment. The operated patients recovered mandibular form and function. This flap can be an alternative for secondary head and neck reconstructions

Full textINTRODUCTION: Oncological resections of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx, which aim at the complete removal of the tumor with safety margins, can determine large anatomical defects in three dimensions and affect noble functions, such as swallowing, speech and breathing. Among the alternatives of reconstruction, the platysma myocutaneous flap (PMF) have been employed given its versatility and ease of technical execution with the advantage of being less thick than the other myocutaneous flaps, making it better for adaptation in a series of clinical conditions. To study the results of PMF used in reconstructions after resections of tumors of oral cavity, oropharynx and hypopharynx from a functional point of view as well as its possible complications. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Retrospective study of patients enrolled in the outpatient clinic of Santa Marcelina Hospital (Department of Head and Neck Surgery), with the diagnosis of malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx an larynx, being inclusion criteria all those that were operated and reconstructed with RMP. The diagnosis was always confirmed by previous biopsy and clinical staging TNM, followed the standardization of the UICC, There were 250 cases of malignant head and neck tumors from January 1990 to December 2015. Of these, 184 cases were eligible for the present study. The reconstructive technique used was PMF with superior pedicle and the functional evaluation was performed for breathing, swallowing, aspiration and communication Project approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo. RESULTS: From 184 cases operated, 90.2% of the cases were stage III and IVa. The diet was normal in 153 (83.1%) of the patients, 29 (15.8%) had a pasty and liquid diet and 2 (1.1%) had a liquid diet. As for the type of speech: 146 (79.3%), another type of speech 38 (20.7%) had laryngeal voice. The postoperative diet aspiration occurred in 60.5% and did not have aspiration 39.5 % of cases. Tumors of the tongue base when compared to other regions had aspiration in 40.3% in the first 7 to 15 days. Those of the hypopharynx had intermediate aspiration and those of the mouth had the lowest aspiration. Partial necrosis occurred in 10 (4.5%) and total 6 (3.3%) were more frequent in the oral cavity. We had a total of 15 (8.1%) fistulas, the highest incidence occurred in the hypopharynx in 8 (4.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Functional rehabilitation was effective regarding swallowing, breathing and communication, most of the patients were on a normal oral diet. PMF has shown to be a safe technique with low complications rates, even in patients with advanced oncologic stages

Full textIntroduction: Composite gastroileal (GI) urinary reservoirs may present advantages over the use of isolated intestinal segments for urinary reconstructive procedures in selected patients. Herein, we present the laparoscopic techniques of gastroileocystoplasty (bladder augmentation) and GI orthotopic neobladder (bladder substitution), performed completely intracorporeally in a porcine model. Technical feasibility and functional results of these procedures are evaluated. Methods: After a pilot study (three animals) to technically standardize the procedures, gastroileocystoplasty (Group I, N = 5) and GI orthotopic neobladder (Group II; N = 10) were performed applying the same principles of wedge gastric resection and ileal resection. In Group II, creation of the neobladder included bilateral ureteral reimplantation into the gastric segment with an anti-reflux technique and an urethro-ileoanastomosis. Staplers and free-hand laparoscopic suture techniques were utilized exclusively, in a completely intracorporeal manner. Preop and postoperative analysis of laboratory data, bladder capacity, image (cystourethrography, intravenous urography) and histological evaluation of the resulting GI reservoirs was concluded at the end of follow-up, at eight and 12 weeks (Group I) and four and eight weeks (Group II). Results: Ileal and gastric patches reached the animal pelvis in all cases. Operative times were 5.2h for Group I and 7.4h for Group II. No conversions or intraoperative deaths occurred. All GI reservoirs were viable by the time of euthanasia in both groups. In Group I, four of the five animals completed the scheduled follow-up of 8 (N = 2) and 12 (N = 2) weeks without complications. One animal received early euthanasia due to pyelonephritis and metabolic alkalosis. Bladder capacity (at a bladder pressure of 20cmH2O) increased from 650ml to 1025ml (p < 0.05) after the bladder augmentation procedure. In Group II, five of 10 animals completed the scheduled follow-up at four (N = 3) and eight (N = 2) weeks, with minimal alteration on renal function (pre and postoperative Cr = 1.4 and 2.2mg/dl, respectively; p = 0.09). Three animals had an early euthanasia due to ureteral obstruction and pyelonephritis (N=2) and severe hipochloremic alkalosis (N = 1). Two deaths were associated to bilateral ureteral obstruction and sepsis. Mean bladder capacity for the neobladders was 400ml. No cases of vesico-ureteral reflux were seen at cystourethrography. However, seven of 20 renal units (35%) presented with uretero-gastric stenosis. Bowel obstruction (N = 1), gastric fistula (N = 1) and urinoma (N = 1) were other complications in Group II. Conclusions: Laparoscopic gastric resection for bladder augmentation and substitution purposes is feasible and reproducible. Laparoscopic gastroileocystoplasty presents adequate functional results after three months in the porcine model. Laparoscopic GI neobladder is technically viable in the porcine model, despite its complexity. The initial report is presented. Refinements of laparoscopic anti-reflux ureteral reimplantation techniques are necessary before its clinical application.

Full textNerve autografting is considered the best treatment for the restoration of great losses of peripheral nerve. In spite of adequate surgical treatment, functional deficits occur. Also, improvement in functional recuperation and decrease in sequelae are expected. There are many techniques aiming at this purpose. The interposition of tubular conduits, as a bridge between the ends of a sectioned nerve, among these the vein graft, is an alternative technique which offers theoretical advantages. The vein is a studied material as possible evaluated tubular conductor experimentally and in clinical cases. Recent studies have given importance in the use of tissues transplants stored in banks. Glycerol is used for tissue preservation, having been told to its use in nerves and vessels. However, it does not have studies of the use of glycerol reserved veins in as substitute of nerve graft. The purpose of this study was to compare, in rats, the neural regeneration degree, using qualitative and quantitative histological analysis and functional recovery, obtained after interposition of a nerve graft, autogenous vein, autogenous vein preserved in glycerol and allograft vein preserved in glycerol. A 5 mm neural gap in the fibular nerve of rats (Lewis breed) has been created under microsurgical techinique. Four groups of six animals each have been divided according to the treatment employed: Group A Î control group: replacement of the fibular nerve itself (autograft); Group B Î a 1omm segment of external jugular vein was interposed; Group C Î a preserved external jugular vein in glycerol 98% per 7 days was interposed in the fibular nerve gap; Group D - external jugular vein preserved in glycerol of Sprague-Dawley rats had been used equal form to group C in Lewis rats. The animals had been sacrificed after 6 weeks for accomplishment of the histological studies. The functional walking track analysis was performed after in the pre-op, and in the pos-op (immediately, 3 and 6 weeks). The control group (autograft) presented similar histological results to the groups of glycerol preserved veins (autogenous vein and allograft vein), however it presented a bigger perineural tecidual reaction and bigger presence of escape axonal if compared with all the groups. The use of autogenous vein without preservation demonstrated histological results with greater neoangiogenesis and presence of connective tissue inside the neo- formed stroma. Histological pattern was similar to other studied groups. Quantitative histological analysis showed statistically lower concentration of regenerated axons in group B (autogenous vein) than the other groups.The group that used autogenous vein (without glycerol) presented little functional recovery for 3 and 6 weeks. No statistical difference was seen between groups A (autograft) and groups C and C (preserved veins) in the degree of functional recovery

Full textGreat losses of neural tissue cannot be repaired by primary conventional suturing. In such cases, nerve autografting is considered to be the treatment of choice. In spite of adequate surgical treatment, functional deficits occur. Also, improvement in functional recuperation and decrease in sequelae are expected. There are many techniques aiming at this purpose. The interposition of tubular conduits, as a bridge between the ends of a sectioned nerve, among these the vein graft, is an alternative technique which offers theoretical advantages. The vein is a studied material as possible evaluated tubular conductor experimentally and in clinical cases. Recent studies have given importance in the use of tissues transplants stored in banks. Glycerol is used for tissue preservation, having been told to its use in nerves and vessels. However, it does not have studies of the use of glycerol reserved veins in as substitute of nerve graft. The purpose of this study was to compare, in rats, the neural regeneration degree, using histological analysis and functional analysis, obtained after interposition of a nerve graft, autogenous vein, autogenous vein preserved in glycerol and allograft vein preserved in glycerol. A 5 mm neural gap in the fibular nerve of rats (Lewis breed) has been created under microsurgical techinique. Four groups of six animals each have been divided according to the treatment employed: Group A - control group: replacement of the fibular nerve itself (autograft); Group B - a 1omm segment of external jugular vein was interposed; Group C - a preserved external jugular vein in glycerol 98% per 7 days was interposed in the fibular nerve gap; Group D - external jugular vein preserved in glycerol of Sprague-Dawley rats had been used equal form to group C in Lewis rats. The animals had been sacrificed after 6 weeks for accomplishment of the histological studies. The functional walking track analysis was performed after in the pre-op, and in the pos-op (immediately, 3 and 6 weeks). The control group (autograft) presented similar histological results to the groups of glycerol preserved veins (autogenous vein and allograft vein), however it presented a bigger perineural tecidual reaction and bigger presence of escape axonal if compared with all the groups. The use of autogenous vein without preservation demonstrated histological results with greater neoangiogenesis and presence of connective tissue inside the neo-formed stroma. Histological pattern was similar to other studied groups. The group that used autogenous vein (without glycerol) presented little functional recovery for 3 and 6 weeks. No statistical difference was seen between groups A (autograft) and groups C and C(preserved veins) in the degree of functional recovery.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Mitral valve repair is the treatment of choice to correct mixomatous mitral insufficiency. Tridimensional echocardiography studies demonstrate that mitral repair using prosthetic ring implant modifies mitral valve annulus morphology and function, although the literature related to mitral valve annulus behavior after mitral repair without use of prosthetic rings is scarce. OBJECTIVE: Analyze cardiac morphology and function using real time tridimensional echocardiography in individuals submitted to mitral valve repair with Double Teflon technique. CASUISTIC: Were included 14 patients with mitral valve insufficiency secondary to mixomatous degeneration that were submitted to mitral valve repair with the Double Teflon technique. Of them, 10 patients were male and the mean age was 61.3 ± 11.2 years. According to preoperatively functional class, 13 patients were in class III or IV. In preoperative echocardiographic analysis, the mean value of left ventricle end diastolic volume was 156.57 ± 46.61ml, and the left ventricle ejection fraction ranged between 38 and 68%, with average of 57.93 ± 6.67%. The mean value of the posterior annulus was 6.97 ± 0.13 cm. METHODS: Patients were evaluated in preoperative period, immediate postoperative period, 6 months and 1 year after mitral repair. Tridimensional echocardiography evaluated mitral annulus morphology by anterior and posterior measurements, transverse diameters and valve area. The annular function was evaluated through the ratio between internal valve areas during systole and diastole. Were evaluated left atrial and ventricle volumes and function. Statistic analysis was made by repeated measures ANOVA test and was considered statistically significant p < 0.05. RESULTS: Posterior mitral annulus demonstrated a significant reduction in immediate postoperative period (p<0.001), remaining stable during the study. There was no significant variation in valve area during the study. There was a significant reduction in anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters in the immediate postoperative period (p<0.001), although there was a significant increase in mediolateral diameter between immediate postoperative period and 1 year. Annular area variation over the cardiac cycle during the study ranged between 30.92 and 35.75%, without statistic significance. The analysis of systolic volumes, atrial and ventricular, demonstrated a significant volumetric reduction between immediate postoperative period and 1 year (p=0.028 and p=0.020, respectively). Between preoperative period and 1 year, there was a mean reduction in atrial and ventricle volumes of 19.9% and 15.4%, respectively. Atrial and ventricle diastolic volumes presented a significant reduction in immediate postoperative period (p<0.001 and p=0.024, respectively), remaining stable during the study. There was an increase in left atrial ejection fraction after 6 months (p<0.001), although there was no significant variation in left ventricle ejection fraction. CONCLUSIONS: Mitral valve repair with segmentar annuloplasty with the Double Teflon technique reduced the posterior mitral annulus, which remained stable in 1 year period. The variation in mitral annulus area during cardiac cycle remained stable during the study. Furthermore, there was a left atrial and ventricle reverse remodeling, associated with an improvement in left atrial function

Full textIntrodução: O tratamento da deformidade na parede abdominal resultante do emagrecimento após a cirurgia bariátrica é a abdominoplastia, a qual pode induzir anemia pós-operatória. Além disso, a cirurgia bariátrica promove uma tendência a deficiência de ferro. Baixas reservas de ferro comprometem a eritropoese. Não há estudo avaliando o grau de anemia e sua evolução após a abdominoplastia pós-bariátrica. Objetivo: Avaliar a anemia e sua evolução após a abdominoplastia pós-bariátrica. Métodos: Os valores de hemoglobina, reticulócitos, ferro, ferritina, e índice de saturação da transferrina foram mensurados na véspera da abdominoplastia e na primeira, quarta e oitava semana de pós-operatório. A hemoglobina também foi mensurada com 48h de pós-operatório. Vinte mulheres adultas foram operadas e tiveram seus dados comparados com 12 controles. Resultados: Os níveis de hemoglobina caíram, em média, de 12,98g/dL para 10,8g/dL com 48h. Houve um aumento significante da hemoglobina no sétimo dia com correção de um terço do déficit, sem aumentos significantes posteriores. Houve um aumento dos reticulócitos na primeira semana. O ferro sérico e índice de saturação de transferrina caíram na primeira semana e mantiveram-se baixos. Os níveis de ferritina apresentaram aumento não significante na primeira semana e posteriormente caíram. Nenhuma das pacientes foi transfundida. Conclusão: Os níveis de hemoglobina caíram após a abdominoplastia e demonstraram um aumento na primeira semana de pós-operatório, com correção de um terço do déficit de hemoglobina, porém, não recuperaram por completo na oitava semana. Ao término do seguimento, 45% das pacientes desenvolveram deficiência de ferro e apresentaram déficit de hemoglobina maior que as pacientes que mantiveram estoques de ferro normais
Background: The treatment of the abdominal wall deformity resulted from weight loss after bariatric surgery is a mixed type of abdominoplasty, which can induce post-operative anemia. In addition, bariatric surgery itself promotes a tendency to iron deficiency which could compromise erythropoiesis. To our knowledge, there is no study evaluating the degree of anemia and its recovery after post-bariatric abdominoplasty. Methods: The values of hemoglobin, reticulocytes, iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation index were measured the day prior to abdominoplasty and the first, fourth and eighth weeks after surgery. Hemoglobin was measured within 48h after surgery. Twenty adult women underwent surgery and had their data compared with 12 controls. Results: Hemoglobin levels dropped significantly from 12,98g/dL to 10,8g/dL within 48h. Hemoglobin increased significantly to 11,5g/dL by day seven, with correction of one third of the deficit, without significant increases thereafter. There was an increase in reticulocytes in the first week. Serum iron and transferrin saturation index fell in the first week and remained low. Ferritin levels showed no significant increase in the first week and subsequently fell. None of the patients received blood transfusion. Conclusion: Hemoglobin levels fell from 12,98 g/dL to 10,8 g/dL after abdominoplasty and showed an increase in the first week after surgery, with correction of one third of the deficit, but did not completely recover in the eighth week. At the end of the follow-up, 45% of the patients developed an iron deficiency and had a hemoglobin deficit higher than the patients that maintained normal iron stores.

Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso, Serviço de Cirurgia Hepato-Biliar
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as complicações associadas às reconstruções vasculares nos receptores de Transplante Hepático Intervivos operados no Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso, no período de dezembro de 2001 e fevereiro de 2011. Foram levantados dados referentes aos receptores, seus respectivos doadores e relacionados ao procedimento cirúrgico, visando identificar possíveis fatores de risco ao desenvolvimento das complicações vasculares. Cento e quarenta e quatro transplantes foram realizados em 141 receptores, 76 adultos e 65 crianças. Foram identificadas sete complicações (4,9% do total) da artéria hepática, cinco complicações (3,5%) da veia porta e uma complicação (0,7%) da veia hepática. Devido ao pequeno número de complicações, não foi possível realizar análise estatística de fatores de risco. A sobrevida em um ano dos pacientes com e sem complicação vascular foi de 26% e 82%, respectivamente. A sobrevida em um ano dos enxertos utilizados em pacientes com e sem complicação vascular foi de 15% e 82%, respectivamente. Houve diferença estatística (p < 0,001) na sobrevida de pacientes e enxertos, que foi menor no grupo que apresentou complicações vasculares. Concluiu-se que as técnicas de reconstrução vascular utilizadas no Hospital Federal de Bonsucesso apresentam resultados comparáveis aos grandes centros internacionais. A presença de complicação na reconstrução vascular diminui a sobrevida do receptor e do enxerto
The objective of this study was to evaluate the complications associated with vascular reconstruction in recipients of living donor liver transplantation at Bonsucesso Federal Hospital, between December 2001 and February 2011. Data associated to recipients, their donors and surgical procedure were collected to identify possible risk factors for vascular complications development. One hundred and forty-four transplants were performed in 141 recipients, 76 adults and 65 children. We identified seven hepatic artery complications (4.9% of total), five complications (3.5%) of portal vein and one complication (0.7%) of hepatic vein. Due to the small number of complications, statistical analysis of risk factors could not be performed. The 1-year survival of patients with and without vascular complications was 26% and 82%, respectively. The 1-year survival of grafts in patients with and without vascular complications was 15% and 82%, respectively. There was statistical difference (p <0.001) on survival of patients and grafts, which was lower in the group with vascular complications. It was concluded that techniques used in vascular reconstruction at Bonsucesso Federal Hospital showed results comparable to major international centers. The presence of vascular complications in the reconstruction decreases survival of recipients and grafts

Full textThe surgical procedure for mammary implants include the so called sizers, used to measure both volume and geometry prior to the definitive placement in the womans breast. These devices present a silicon elastomer or polyurethane external capsule, medical grade, siloxan class filled with predetermined gel or silicon elastomer volumes, also medical grade and are presented in several shapes and volumes equivalent to the shapes and volumes of the corresponding final implant. This study evaluated the manual cleaning process of the sizers focusing in the bioburden thus rendering an effective sterilization process, under the usual equipment and conditions found in the hospital surgery centers. Microbial challenge tests were performed using 5 microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) and two types of detergent , non enzymatic and enzymatic for comparison. Bioburden was determined before and after the cleaning procedure and after that samples were sterilized at 126°C (1,4 kgf/cm2) for 30 minutes, which was evaluated through sterility testing. Results shown that the cleaning step contributed to a 4 log cycle reduction in the samples initial bioburden and that there was no difference between bioburden results in both types of sizers (textured or polyurethane capsule). The cleaning process using non enzymatic or enzymatic detergents followed by sterilization shows enough effectiveness to ensure the required sterility for using the sizers.
