Objective: The aim: To improve the efficiency of treatment of recurrent abdominal wall hernia associated with ligature fistula.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We analysed the results of treatment of recurrent hernias with ligature fistula in 86 patients. 44 patients of group 1 were treated according to the developed algorithm (fistula and mesh explantation, wound debridement, mesh fixation and wound closure with antiseptic-containing polyurethane composite), 42 patient (group 2) were treated according to the traditional one.

Results: Results: Decreased rate of seroma formation in group 1 if compared to group 2 was observed up to 6,7% against 23,8% (OR=0,23; 95%CI=0,06-0,92; р=0,038). Wound infection occurred in 1 (2,3%) case of group 1 against 7 (16,7%) of group 2 (OR= 0,12; 95% CI =0,01-0,99; р=0,027). 4 (9,5%) patients from group 2 developed recurrent ligature fistula (OR= 0,10; 95%CI= 0,01-1,90). Recurrence of hernia was observed in 1 (2,9%) patient of group 1 against 6 (17,7%) patients of group 2 (OR=0,14; 0,01-1,21; р=0,048).

Conclusion: Conclusions: Surgical treatment optimisation of recurrent abdominal wall hernia associated with ligature fistula improved the efficiency of treatment, which was proven by the obtained outcomes and relative risk of complications.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

We report the management of a convexity dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) in an uncommon anterior superior sagittal sinus (SSS) location. This was a high-risk Cognard IIa+b dAVF, which is notoriously complex to treat. Endoscopic management alone for complex SSS dAVFs is challenging due to the often bilateral arterial supply to the fistula, as demonstrated in this case.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The third hospital of mianyang, Sichuan Mental Health Center, Mianyang, Sichuan, China.

Introduction And Importance: A traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF) is a vascular injury where an artery and a vein become abnormally connected. Although endovascular intervention is often the first choice for TAVF, some special cases still require open surgery.

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man developed a chronic AVF in the lower superficial femoral artery (SFA) one year after a farming accident.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of the ligation of the intersphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) procedure in treating high transsphincteric fistulas.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the success rate of LIFT treatment in 82 patients with high transsphincteric fistulas involving at least 1/3 of the external sphincter. This study was carried out across 2 centers from November 2009 to February 2023.

Background: Esophageal atresia is one of the most common life-threatening congenital malformations and is defined as an interruption in the continuity of the esophagus with or without fistula to the trachea or bronchi. Definitive treatment is surgical ligation of the fistula if present and esophageal end-to-end anastomosis of the two pouches, thereby reconstructing the continuity of the esophagus. During this procedure, the surgeon may choose to either ligate or preserve the azygos vein, a major draining vein for the esophagus and surrounding structures, but no definitive consensus on the matter exists.
