Aim Of The Study: The aim of this retrospective study was to find a link between vascularization failure and fistula in esophageal surgery. The originality of this study was to be based on hyperselective arteriogaphy of the artery vascularizing the gastric plasty, showing all vascular network of the plasty.

Patients And Methods: Hyperselective arteriography was carried out in 14 patients operated for esophagus cancer with a gastric plasty replacement. All these patients had a postoperative leakage or a bad vascularization of the gastric plasty during the operation.

Results: The vascularization of the gastric plasty was organized from the gastro-epiploic artery by anastomotic transversal network, depending on the left gastro-epiploic artery and left gastric artery. For the 14 patients, a constant link between leakage and vascularization failure could be proved.

Conclusion: Esophageal surgery is dependent on the vascular status of the patient. The type of gastric plasty with large or narrow tubulization does not interfere with the quality of vascularization at the top of the plasty due to the preservation of a corporeal low branch.

Transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) versus total extraperitoneal patch plasty (TEP) are surgical techniques commonly used to treat inguinal hernia. However, studies indicate that both procedures may lead to significant complications, particularly gastrointestinal complications, some of which can be life-threatening. We statistically analyzed the complications caused by adult inguinal hernia patients admitted from 2018 to 2022.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy after esophagectomy is a challenging procedure given the need to preserve the vascularization of the gastric plasty. We describe a case of a modified Longmire III procedure in a 68-year-old patient who underwent an esophagectomy with gastric conduit reconstruction in 2019 for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Two years later, an adenocarcinoma of the ampulla of Vater was diagnosed, necessitating pancreaticoduodenectomy with preservation of the gastric conduit.

Endoscopic third ventriculocysternostomy (ETV) is a minimally invasive neurosurgical technique with good results in the treatment of obstructive hydrocephalus. The VACTERL (vertebrae, anorectal, cardiovascular, tracheal, esophageal, renal, limb defects) association, or VATER syndrome, is defined as congenital malformations, mostly derived from the mesoderm, affecting specific areas. It is diagnosed by the presence of at least three of the seven characteristic malformations that describe it.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on a new surgical technique developed for bladder augmentation in children with failed bladder exstrophy, utilizing an ileocecal segment to create a catheterizable channel and preventing urine reflux.
  • The surgical method involves complex reconfiguration of the ileocecal segment around the appendix, enabling effective bladder neck surgery and ureteric re-implantations when needed.
  • Out of 100 children treated, 95 achieved continent status with catheterization, showing significant improvement in their urinary function post-surgery.
