Abdominal pain secondary to gossypiboma that developed over 22 years: Case report.

Introduction: Surgical instrument retention continues to occur despite considerable preventive efforts. The resulting infection can be asymptomatic or demonstrate variable clinical presentations, such as intestinal obstruction, malnutrition, gastrointestinal bleeding, peritonitis, adhesions, fistulas, abscesses, erosion and/or intestinal perforation. In this case report, we present a patient whose last surgical event occurred 22 years prior with appendicular symptoms and a palpable abdominal mass.

Management of Grade IV Renal Graft Trauma Secondary to Oncological Surgery: A Case Report.

Background: Renal graft injury is a challenging condition that can endanger function or become a life-threatening event. Although the most common cause of renal graft injury is trauma, some cases of injuries associated with surgical procedures have been described. Here, we present a case of a transplant patient who experienced a grade IV renal graft injury after an open oophorectomy.

Association Between the Placement of a Double-J Catheter and the Risk of Urinary Tract Infection in Renal Transplantation Recipients: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 1038 Patients.

Background: The incidence of urinary complications in transplantation is 2% to 20%, which can be decreased with the use of a double-J catheter. The objective of this study was to determine the association between the use of the catheter and the probability of urinary tract infection (UTI).

Methods: We studied a retrospective cohort of 1038 patients divided into 2 groups: those treated with vs without a double-J catheter.

Renal transplantation recipient patients survival.

Introduction: The Bajío High Specialty Regional Hospital started operating in 2007 to tackle the health demands of 5.8 million inhabitants. It has 184 beds and a transplant unit with 26 beds.

Fibrinogen and thrombin concentrations are critical for fibrin glue adherence in rat high-risk colon anastomoses.

Objective: Fibrin glues have not been consistently successful in preventing the dehiscence of high-risk colonic anastomoses. Fibrinogen and thrombin concentrations in glues determine their ability to function as sealants, healers, and/or adhesives. The objective of the current study was to compare the effects of different concentrations of fibrinogen and thrombin on bursting pressure, leaks, dehiscence, and morphology of high-risk ischemic colonic anastomoses using fibrin glue in rats.

Reduction of the closure time of postoperative enterocutaneous fistulas with fibrin sealant.

Aim: To assess whether the use of fibrin sealant shortens the closure time of postoperative enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs).

Methods: The prospective case-control study included 70 patients with postoperative ECFs with an output of < 500 mL/d, a fistulous tract of > 2 cm and without any local complication. They were divided into study (n = 23) and control groups (n = 47).

[Bursting pressure in normal and ischemic colonic anastomoses in rats; using biological and synthetic adhesives].

Objective: We wanted to determine bursting pressure in normal and ischemic colonic anastomoses in rats as well as the frequency and type of complications with the use of biological and synthetic adhesives.

Material And Methods: We designed an experimental study using 80 Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing between 200 and 250 g, divided into four groups: one control group and three study groups. Anastomoses were realized using one layer of interrupted 6-0 polypropylene sutures.
