Bladder endometriosis: laparoscopic treatment and follow-up
2008
Objectives: This study aims to show the treatment outcome in women affected by isolated bladder endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our units. Only women with deep nodules located in the bladder were selected, thus excluding women with deep lesions located in other sites. Study design: Between March 2005 and 2007, women with deep vesical endometriosis, referring to the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of University Hospitals "G. Martino" of Messina, "Paolo Giaccone" of Palermo and "San Paolo" of Milano, were respectively recruited. A preoperative assessment of the pathology was performed. Women who were concomitantly diagnosed deep nodules of the rectovaginal septum…
Role of Ovarian Suspension in Preventing Postsurgical Ovarian Adhesions in Patients with Stage III-IV Pelvic Endometriosis: A Systematic Review.
2018
Endometriosis is a benign complex gynecological condition with high morbidity that affects women of reproductive age. Pelvic adhesion formation represents a serious clinical challenge in the management of patients with endometriosis. Several interventions have been proposed over the last few years aiming to reduce post-operative ovarian adhesions formation. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence of the efficacy of ovarian suspension in the prevention of post-operative ovarian adhesions formation in women undergoing laparoscopic surgery for stage III-IV endometriosis. The research was conducted using electronic databases. A review of the abstracts of all references retrieved from…
Surgical Advances in the Treatment of Abdominal Wall Hernias
2015
In the last two decades, the surgery of the abdominal wall has experienced an important development from being considered a matter of little interest for general surgeon, to having a greater presence at scientific meetings and to being increasingly prominent in the specialist training in surgery. In 1990 the plastic surgeon Oscar Ramirez published a method to repair defects in the abdominal wall that called “Component Separation Technique” thereafter general surgeons fixed his attention on the techniques of autoplastic repair of the abdominal wall that had already developed throughout the twentieth century. This interest grows with the emergence of new prosthesis and the use of laparoscopic…
The occlusive tourniquet: a simple method for rectal stump washout during open and laparoscopic surgery.
2007
Rectal stump washout with cytolytic agents is recommended and usually performed during anterior rectal or rectosigmoid resection. The use of a linear stapler instrument during ultralow anterior resection makes the placement of pelvic clamps difficult for rectal stump washout prior to resection. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of a simple procedure, the occlusive tourniquet for rectal stump washout. Occlusive tourniquet applied to open technique: after complete dissection of the rectum and sigmoid colon according to the usual technique, a simple piece of tubing from an intravenous line is passed behind and around the rectum/sigmoid colon at some point distal to the tumor…
Treatment of bilateral vocal cord paralysis following permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.
2012
Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is a serious illness requiring emergency intervention to resolve the potentially life-threatening respiratory distress. Several surgical procedures were proposed to help improve the airway and to eliminate the tracheostoma in those patients with permanent paralysis. All the procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages. We conducted a retrospective study of 30 patients affected by bilateral vocal cord paralysis following total thyroidectomy. All the patients underwent total thyroidectomy for benign thyroid pathology. In 26 patients (86.6%), cord paralysis occurred during the perioperative stage; and in the remaining 4 cases (13.3%), it occurred within…
Radiosurgery in the treatment of the glottic plane carcinoma
2003
Abstract During the last 20 years, various conservative surgical techniques have been proposed to treat larynx cancer. On the basis of our various experiences and of the ultrastructural data on the tissues treated with radiowaves, we decided to also use radiosurgery in operations under direct microlaryngoscopy. We select 18 patients suffering from epidermoid carcinoma. These patients had been referred to our ENT clinic at the Polichnico of Palermo between 1999 and 2001. The authors describe the surgical procedures used and emphasize the advantages of radiosurgery in the treatment of larynx cancer.
Yellow (577 nm) micropulse laser versus half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy in eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy: results of …
2018
PurposeTo compare the functional and anatomical outcomes of eyes with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy treated with yellow micropulse (MP) laser versus half-dose verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT).MethodsThis is a multicentre, retrospective comparative study of 92 eyes treated with yellow MP laser (duty cycle of 5%, zero spacing between spots, spot size varied from 100 to 200 µm, power varied from 320 to 660 mW, and the pulse burst duration was 200 ms) and 67 eyes treated with PDT (half-dose verteporfin (3 mg/m2) infused over 10 min), followed by laser activation for 83 s. Spot sizes varied from 400 to 2000 µm.ResultsIn the MP group, at 12 months of follow-up, the mean best corr…
La adaptación del código de procedimiento civil venezolano al paradigma del nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano: una reforma necesaria
2015
La Constitución venezolana de 1999, ubicada conjuntamente con las Constituciones de Bolivia y Ecuador dentro de lo que se ha llamado el nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano, supuso la implementación en el país de un nuevo modelo constitucional. Quince años después de su entrada en vigor todavía hay leyes que no ha sido adaptadas al nuevo modelo, una de ellas es el Código de Procedimiento Civil. Actualmente, y con la intención de solventar este desajuste, se está tramitando en la Asamblea Nacional una reforma del Código que se espera sea aprobada antes de terminar el año 2015. El presente trabajo lleva a cabo un análisis de cuales son aquellos elementos que permiten adaptar esta norma de…

INTEGRACIÓN DE LA MEDIACION EN LA JUSTICIA PENAL. SUPUESTOS ESPECIALES (Integration of Criminal Mediation in Criminal Justice. Some Special Cases)
2014
Spanish Abstract: En el momento actual que vivimos hablar de mediacion penal es ya una realidad incuestionable. Una mirada al pasado nos lleva a afirmar que no siempre fue asi y que la evolucion de este devenir no ha sido un camino de rosas. Antes al contrario, su entendimiento, aceptacion e incorporacion a los ordenamientos juridicos fue mucho mas lenta que en el ambito de lo disponible -civil, mercantil, laboral etc- e incluso todavia hay determinados ordenamientos en los que existe una gran resistencia a su aceptacion, siendo especialmente significativo en alguno de ellos, como por ejemplo Japon, que viene arrastrando una larga historia cultural de mediacion civil, comercial, social, sie…
