Exposed Subcutaneous Implantable Devices
2015
Background: Implantable venous and electrical devices are prone to exposure and infection. Indications for management are controversial, but—especially if infected—exposed devices are often removed and an additional operation is needed to replace the device, causing a delay in chemotherapy and prolonging healing time. We present our protocol for device salvage, on which limited literature is available. Methods: Between 2007 and 2013, 17 patients were treated (12 venous access ports, 3 cardiac pacemakers, and 2 subcutaneous neural stimulators). Most patients were operated within 7 days from exposure. All patients received only a single perioperative dose of prophylactic antibiotic. In cases …
Porcine Model for Deep Superior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap Harvesting: Anatomy and Technique
2018
BACKGROUND Microsurgical training on rats before starting with clinical practice is a well-established routine. Animal model training is less widespread for perforator flaps, although these flaps represent a technical challenge. Unlike other flaps, they require specific technical skills that need to be adequately trained on a living model 1 : a cadaver is not enough because no bleeding, vessel damage, or vasospasm can be simulated. 2 The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of the porcine abdomen as a training model for the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP) flap, commonly used in human breast reconstruction. METHODS A female swine (Sus scrofa domesticus, ssp;…
Papel de la ecoendoscopia previa a la CPRE ante la sospecha de coledocolitiasis
2017
RESUMEN PROYECTO TESIS DOCTORAL. Autor: Ana Belén Durá Ayet. Título Provisional del proyecto de tesis: Papel de la ecoendoscopia previa a la CPRE ante la sospecha de coledoolitiasis. Tema. La Colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) ha sido considerada durante muchos años la técnica de elección en el diagnóstico preoperatorio de la coledocolitiasis, sin embargo se asocia a una tasa nada despreciable de complicaciones como riesgo de pacreatitis, hemorragias y perforación que se estima entre un 2-20% según las series. El avance tecnológico ha permitido obtener mediante otras técnicas no invasivas (Colangiopancreatografía por resonancia magnética-CPRM) o mínimamente invasivas (Ult…
FLiGS Score: A New Method of Outcome Assessment for Lip Carcinoma–Treated Patients
2015
Lip cancer represents 25% of all oral cavity carcinomas; it peaks in the sixth and seventh decades, with males predominating by 3 to 1. The lower lip is approximately 12 times more likely to be affected, owing to its greater exposure to the sunlight. Surgical oncologic and reconstructive treatment of lip cancer has advanced dramatically, but lip distortion or loss resulting from neoplasms or from their surgical treatment has considerable functional and cosmetic effects with resultant nutritional, physical, and psychological detriments.1–8 Traditional indicators, such as survival rate and disease-free interval, are no longer adequate for answering questions on outcome not considering the phy…

Porcine Model for Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap: Anatomy and Technique
2018
Although flap anatomy is well studied on cadavers and microsurgical techniques are well practiced on rats, still there are few training models for learning the techniques of perforator flap harvesting. The cadaver has no bloodstream, so accuracy of dissection cannot be evaluated and flap viability cannot be verified. Training on humans carries a high risk of flap damage. A living model for perforator flap harvest is needed to learn the technique before starting with its clinical application.
