Although recent advances in laparoscopic technology have popularized laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD), laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy anastomosis (PJA) still presents a major technical challenge. From February 2021 to January 2023, 42 patients underwent LPD with modified double U-suture PJA. Data on the demographic characteristics and clinical results of these patients were investigated. The median operation time was 316 min (249-596 min). The median PJA time was 32 min (25-40 min). The median intraoperative blood loss was 150 mL (50-500 mL). The median postoperative stay was 12 days (7-30 days). Complications occurred in 10 (23.8%) patients, including two cases (4.8%) of delayed gastric emptying and nine cases (21.4%) of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). One patient presented delayed gastric emptying and POPF. Eight patients (19.0%) experienced biochemical leakage, and one patient (2.4%) had grade B POPF. Laparoscopic double U-suture PJA is a feasible and safe technique for performing LPD.

Septal cartilage deviations comprise the majority of deformities related to revision rhinoplasty operations. Therefore, the primary operation should be as eventless and durable as possible. Many techniques have been suggested, but most present with a monoplanar correction and fixation of the septum.

Background And Aim: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an effective treatment for obesity. Recently, a novel single-channel endoscopic suturing device has been made available to overcome the need for a double-channel endoscope. However, there is limited evidence evaluating its utility for ESG.

Article Synopsis
  • A modified Blumgart method for pancreaticojejunostomy using LAPRA-TY suture clips is explored to enhance laparoscopic surgery and reduce postoperative complications.
  • A study comparing 39 patients showed that while the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (21.1%) was similar with and without LAPRA-TY clips, the time taken for the LAPRA-TY group (average 56.2 minutes) was significantly shorter than the conventional method (average 69.7 minutes).
  • Despite not reducing the fistula rate, this modified technique offers quicker surgical times, potentially leading to better overall patient outcomes.

The S-lift facelift featuring the U-suture and O-suture combined with skin resurfacing.

Dermatol Surg

January 2001

Fulton Skin Institute, Newport Beach, California, and Zentuam für Kosmetische Operationen,Düsseldorf, Germany.

Background: A short-flap S-lift may be helpful for minor jowling or submental laxity in cases of early facial ptosis, revision facelifts, or where skin resurfacing is combined with neck lifting.

Objective: To develop a safe and effective method to lift the jowl either as a single procedure or combined with other rejuvenation methods.

Methods: After the induction of monitored anesthesia care the skin resurfacing is completed, if necessary, and the submental and lateral S-lift incisions are marked next to the tragus.
