Consideraciones preoperatorias y manejo neuroanestesiológico intraoperatorio
2012
The anesthesiological management of patients undergoing neurosurgery of the posterior fossa has a series of characteristics that should be known by anesthesiologists. Intraoperative management is guided by a series of factors that include the physiopathological changes secondary to the patient's position during surgery, the importance of appropriate patient positioning to facilitate the surgical approach, the lower tolerance to changes in the elastance of the infratentorial region, the limited therapeutic options in episodes of intraoperative edema-swelling, and the presence of complications such as a venous air embolism. This first contribution to the guidelines discusses the main evidence…
Chirurgie der kindlichen Nebenniere. Operationstaktik, intra- und perioperative Überwachung
1988
Surgical and non-surgical conditions of the adrenal cortex and medulla are presented. Besides general principles of operative treatment (e.g. surgical approach, safe operative technique, bilateral exploration) specific aspects associated with this procedure in childhood are discussed. The perioperative management and pharmacotherapeutical preparation (e.g. hormonal substitution) are emphasized.
Surgical Approach to Recurrent Cholangiocarcinoma.
2020
<b><i>Background:</i></b> For recurrent cholangiocarcinoma, systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care. Repeated resection is a potential curative treatment, but data are scarce and outcomes are not well defined so far. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> In the last decade there has been an increasing number of reports suggesting a survival benefit and even cure after repeated surgery. This is particularly true for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, where repeated resections offer similar or even better results than the first resection. In selected cases even a third liver resection is possible. In contrast, in perihilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma, re…
Risk Stratification by nrTMS Language Mapping
2017
Resecting language-eloquent brain lesions is a major challenge in neurosurgery since we need to weight the risks of worsening the patients’ functional integrity and achieving a maximum safe resection. Although relevant functional brain structures can be identified intraoperatively by direct cortical mapping during awake surgery, a preoperative identification of functional anatomy is recommended in order to gauge surgical risks, evaluate resectability, plan the surgical approach, and identify potential starting points for intraoperative stimulation mapping.
Strategie des chirurgischen Vorgehens beim hilären Cholangiokarzinom
2006
Surgery is the decisive life-prolonging treatment in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Surgery is mainly based on empiric data. Since patients without surgery have only about 6 months to survive, to achieve a high resection rate is crucial for these patients. During diagnostic workup, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography results in the most reliable assessment of longitudinal tumor growth. The extent of the tumor is frequently overestimated leading to the consequence of excluding the patients from surgery. En-bloc resection of the tumor and the adjacent liver should be the preferred surgical approach. So far, surgical radicality (right trisegmentectomy, extended lymphadenectomy a…
Clinical and epidemiological profile of cleft lip and palate patients in Peru, 2006 ? 2019
2021
Background The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical-epidemiological profile of patients with cleft lip and / or palate in Peru from 2006 to 2019. Material and Methods This retrospective and cross-sectional study analyzed 3,923 patients with cleft lip and palate attended by surgical missions of the Operacion Sonrisa Peru from January 2006 to December 2019. The clinical profile of the patients treated included: type of cleft (cleft lip CL, cleft palate CP, cleft lip and palate CLP and submucosal SM), surgery performed (cheiloplasty, palatoplasty, cleft rhinoplasty, fistula repair, pharyngeal flap), surgical time according to number of interventions. Likewise, affiliation variab…
Retrograde recanalization of an in-stent ostial chronically occluded right coronary artery
2010
We describe a case of a chronic proximal in-stent CTO extending up to the ostium of a right coronary artery where successful achievement of guidewire passage through the CTO was performed with a retrograde approach. Guidewire trapping into the right guiding catheter was performed thereafter and procedure was completed by retrograde balloon crossing and antegrade stenting. © 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
Choice of the operative approach in two cardiosurgical patients assisted by preoperative computed tomography: Case Report
1988
The perioperative course of two patients is exemplified to demonstrate the significance of the preoperative thoracic computed tomography for the selection of a proper surgical approach.
Computed Tomography in Nonneoplastic Space-Occupying Intracranial Lesions
1981
A number of nonneoplastic intracranial space-occupying lesions may resemble neoplasms in the CT scan, and definitive diagnosis is not possible with CT studies alone in many cases. Misinterpretations are possible, even when all clinical data are considered in the interpretation of the CT scan. However, the most accurate possiblepreoperative diagnosis is a prerequisite for decisions on therapeutic strategy and surgical approach. Therefore some cases may require the full range of conventional neuroradiological techniques and careful consideration of clinical findings for correct interpretation of the CT scan with its consequences for therapy. Table 6 summarizes the most common alternatives in …
