Anastomosis of the fragile aortic wall in patients with acute aortic dissection presents a challenge to cardiovascular surgeons. Reinforcement of the stump is a key to accomplishing successful anastomosis. Surgical glues such as gelatin-resorcin-formalin (GRF) glue and Bioglue are easy to use and have radically changed the process of the reinforcement and reapproximation. However, as surgical glues have been associated with disadvantages such as tissue necrosis, enthusiasm for their use has waned. In this review, we discuss the various methods for reinforcement and reapproximation of the aortic stump during operations for acute aortic dissection, mainly outside the category of surgical glues.

Effectiveness of Various Sternal Closure Devices Post Adult Cardiac Surgery.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Melbourne, Vic, Australia.
Background & Aim: Sternotomy remains a commonly used technique to access the heart for cardiac surgery worldwide. To date, there is no clear consensus on the single superior sternal closure technique. Patient-specific factors such as osteoporosis, diabetes, old age, body habitus influence a surgeon's choice in this matter as do techniques commonly used during the training period and used in the current workplace.

Introduction: In certain cases of rectal malignancy in which invasion is confined to the prostate and/or seminal vesicles, bladder-sparing surgery may be chosen instead of total pelvic exenteration. However, even if the bladder is preserved, postoperative urinary dysfunction and vesicourethral anastomotic leakage are concern.
Materials And Surgical Technique: We employ various techniques based on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for reconstructing the urinary tract.
Management of Massive Flank Hernia After Lateral Lumbar Fusion: Preoperative Botulinum Toxin Injections and Open Repair - A Case Report.

Department of General Surgery, Memorial Healthcare System, Division of General Surgery, Hollywood, FL, USA.
BACKGROUND Incisional flank hernias represent a complication after lateral lumbar spine surgery. Given the increasing rate of lateral lumbar interbody fusions, the rate of incisional flank hernias will increase. Since there are no reports of open massive flank hernia repair utilizing preoperative botulinum injections, we sought to publish this technique to provide surgeons with an innovative method for preoperatively treating patients with massive flank hernias.

Purpose: Although the treatment of abdominal wall desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) has evolved over the past decades, surgical treatment remains an important approach. Previously, surgeries for abdominal DF were mostly performed by laparotomy, which involves massive dissection and significant trauma. Here, we report our single-center experience of the laparoscopic management of abdominal wall DF in young female patients.

Purpose: Loop ileostomy (LI) is commonly employed during colorectal surgeries to reduce the consequences of anastomotic leak. Unfortunately, LI is associated with a 10-30% incisional hernia (IH) rate after closure. We hypothesized that prophylactic mesh reinforcement during LI takedown would safely prevent subsequent IH formation.
