Objectives: To observe the effects of both propofol/alfentanil and propofol/ketamine on sedation during upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy in morbidly obese patients (UGSEMOP).
Methods: In a prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical study, 52 patients scheduled for UGSEMOP were assigned to either group A (n=26; 10 µg/kg intravenous [IV] alfentanil) or group K (n=26; 0.5 mg/kg IV ketamine).
Article Synopsis
- Intravesical foreign materials like mesh or sutures can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, particularly after procedures like abdominal hysterectomy, though this complication is rare.
- A case study presented a 61-year-old obese woman with recurrent UTIs and voiding symptoms, where radiological evaluation revealed a polypropylene suture inside her bladder that had extruded during surgery.
- Transurethral resection using plasmakinetic energy was successfully employed to remove the suture, offering a minimally invasive solution with fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery methods.
