AI Article Synopsis

  • * Emergency surgery was performed to address the complications, but the patient had a failure in duodenal stump suturing three days later, necessitating a further intervention using PTCD technology for drainage.
  • * Ultimately, the duodenal stump suture failure was successfully treated through percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage, highlighting the challenges and potential life-threatening consequences associated with this complication.

Article Abstract

79-year-old man underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with early gastric cancer 0-Ⅱc lesion on the greater curvature side of the lower body of the gastric body on gastric cancer screening. On the 10th day after the operation, abdominal pain and fever were observed, and CT revealed suture failure and intra-abdominal abscess. Partial gastrectomy and Roux- en-Y reconstruction were performed in emergency surgery, but duodenal stump suture failure was observed on the third day of reoperation. For duodenal stump suture failure, a catheter was placed in the duodenum by applying PTCD technology, and drainage of the bile duct and duodenal contents was performed, and conservative healing was successful. Duodenal stump suture failure after Roux-en-Y reconstruction is intractable and can sometimes result in death with severe infection and intra-abdominal hemorrhage. Here, we report a case in which duodenal stump suture failure was completely cured by percutaneous transhepatic duodenal drainage, with some literary consideration.

Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation Versus Reconstruction Should Be Determined Using Precise Imaging and Indications.

Arthroscopy

Current surgical treatment options for ulnar collateral ligament injury of the elbow include both reconstruction and repair. A growing amount of research has evaluated the outcomes of these various techniques in a variety of study designs. Large national database assessment indicates that overall failure rates are low and complication rates are similar between UCL reconstruction and UCL repair techniques.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the biomechanical performance of elastic and static suture-based cerclage systems to traditional screw constructs in the setting of modeled glenoid bony augmentation.

Methods: Biomechanical testing was conducted on polyurethane cellular foam blocks modeling a 20 % glenoid defect repaired with a coracoid graft. Constructs consisted of an elastic suture-based cerclage, static suture-based cerclage, and a two-screw construct.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of four meniscal suture configurations-two simple sutures (TSS), two cinch sutures, a locking loop stitch (LLS), and a delta-grip stitch (DGS)-for transtibial pullout repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) using porcine menisci.

Methods: Forty porcine menisci were randomly assigned to each suture configuration with all-inside repair. All specimens were subjected to cyclic loading for 1000 cycles, followed by a load-to-failure test.

The increasing age of patients with end-stage renal disease raises the issue of hostile arterial access for transplantation, with technical difficulties associated with clamping and suturing the iliac artery. Some of these patients - who theoretically represent those who would benefit the most from transplantation in terms of mortality - are contraindicated because of anatomical and medical issues. In this context, a specific endovascular device called EndoPreKiT (Endovascular Preparation for Kidney Transplantation) has been designed, enabling arterial access for transplantation via a mini-invasive procedure.

Femtosecond laser-assisted large-diameter lamellar corneal-limbal keratoplasty in ocular chemical burns.

Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangzhou, China.

Purpose: This study highlights the feasibility of femtosecond laser-assisted large-diameter lamellar corneal-limbal keratoplasty and its efficacy in the treatment of ocular surface failure caused by bilateral ocular chemical injury.

Observations: The series included 3 patients with ocular surface failure caused by bilateral ocular chemical burns. After dissection of the host cornea, a femtosecond laser-assisted large-diameter lamellar corneoscleral button, with varying thickness of 250-400 μm, was sutured to the recipient bed.
