Mortality rates and risk factors for emergent open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the endovascular era

2018

The background of this paper is to report the mortality at 30 and 90 days and at mean follow-up after open abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) emergent repair and to identify predictive risk factors for 30- and 90-day mortality. Between 1997 and 2002, 104 patients underwent emergent AAA open surgery. Symptomatic and ruptured AAAs were observed, respectively, in 21 and 79% of cases. Mean patient age was 70 (SD 9.2) years. Mean aneurysm maximal diameter was 7.4 (SD 1.6) cm. Primary endpoints were 30- and 90-day mortality. Significant mortality-related risk factor identification was the secondary endpoint. Open repair trend and its related perioperative mortality with a per-year analysis and a co…

Out-of-the-box pelvic surgery including iliopsoas resection for recurrent gynecological malignancies: Does that make sense? A single-institution case…

2017

Abstract Objective To report morbidity and oncological outcomes in a consecutive series of lateral isolated recurrent gynecological cancer involving the pelvic side wall (PSW) including the iliopsoas muscle. Material and methods We retrospectively evaluated a consecutive series between 6/2013 and 12/2015 of lateral isolated recurrent gynecological malignancies treated with a lateral endopelvic resection (LEPR). LEPR was defined as an en-bloc lateral resection of a pelvic tumor with sidewall muscle, and/or bone, and/or major nerve, and/or major vascular structure. Post-surgical complications, quality of life (QoL) and survivals were computed. Results Seventy-four women with pelvic isolated r…

The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) after Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) open repair

2009

Objective: The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a ‘condition in which increased tissue pressure in a confined anatomic space, causes decreased blood flow leading to ischaemia and dysfunction and leading to permanent impairment of function’. Methods: Between June 2007 and June 2008 we treated surgically 23 cases of AAA (14 in election and nine in emergency), with indirect intra- abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring (intra-vescical catheter). Mean age was 68 (64–84) years, 19 males and 4 females. Mean transverse diameter was 6.2 cm (5.5–9.0). Preoperative diagnostic procedure was ultrasound and tomography when possible. All patients were managed in hypotensive hemostasis (restricting fl…

Síndrome compartimental abdominal y síndrome de distrés intestinal agudo

2013

Seriously ill patients frequently present intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) as complications, and the associated mortality is very high. This review offers an update on the most controversial aspects of these entities: factors favoring their appearance, the most common causes, prognosis, and methods of measuring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), physiopathological consequences in relation to the different organs and systems, and the currently accepted treatment measures (medical and/or surgical). Simultaneously to the strictly physical mechanisms of injury, such as direct compression of intra-abdominal organs and vessels, the transmission of IAP to ot…

Endoscopic Treatment of Intracranial Arachnoid Cysts: A Retrospective Analysis of a 25-Year Experience.

2020

Background Since the development of neuroendoscopy, pure endoscopic fenestration for intracranial arachnoid cysts (ACs) became more and more popular and is actually preferred by many neurosurgeons. Objective To explore their techniques and experiences with endoscopic treatment of intracranial ACs over a 25-yr period. Methods A total of 95 endoscopic procedures in 87 patients with 88 intracranial ACs performed at the authors' departments between February 1993 and October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Particular respect was given to surgical technique, complications, patients' outcome, and radiological benefit in relation to cyst location. Results Patients' ages ranged from 23 d to 81 y…

Gluteal Compartment Syndrome Following Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Treatment: Case Report and Review of the Literature

2016

Compartment syndrome (CS) is a pathological increase of the interstitial pressure within the closed osseous fascial compartments. Trauma is the most common cause, followed by embolization, burns, and iatrogenic injuries; it usually involves the limbs. The major issue when dealing with CS is the possibility to do an early diagnosis in order to intervene precociously, through a fasciotomy, reducing the risk of tissue, vascular and nervous damage. Although it is an infrequent condition, it is potentially life threatening. In our case report, we present a 59-year-old patient, smoker, affected by hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic renal failure, and morbid obesity who came at our attention for …

Renal Allograft Compartment Syndrome: Is It Possible to Prevent?

2016

Renal allograft compartment syndrome (RACS) is a complication characterized by increased pressure over 15 to 20 mm Hg of the iliac fossa site of transplanted kidney that can lead to a reduction of the blood supply to the graft, resulting in organ ischemia. This study aims to evaluate, through a review of the literature, the incidence, detection, treatment, and possible prevention of RACS. The incidence of this complication, which appears generally in the immediate post-transplantation period, is currently approximately 1% to 2% and is underestimated because of poor nosography for the presence of symptoms common to other post-transplantation complications. Doppler ultrasound is indispensable…

Evidence of conservative treatment for overuse injuries analysis of systematic reviews

2011

Overuse injuries are common among top athletes and people who exercise regularly. Conservative, non-pharmacological methods are used widely to treat overuse injuries and there is a large body of literature, including multiple systematic reviews, evaluating different terms of treatment. This literature needs summarizing and critiquing. Objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods of conservative treatment on overuse injuries and to provide an analysis of systematic reviews. Published systematic reviews were identified by searching Medline, PEDro, Cochrane and Sportdiscus databases from the year 1996 to July 2010. Reference lists of identified studies were al…
