Guide to the management of complications in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS)
2021
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in otolaryngology. ESS complications should be distinguished in minor and major based on the treatment they need and the permanent sequelae they can cause. Over the years it has gone from an incidence of complications in endoscopic surgery of 8% for the major and 21% for the minor to a percentage of 0-1.5% and 1.1-20.8%, respectively. This is due to the considerable diffusion of the technique with a progressive increase over the years of the surgical experience but their presence help to educate otolaryngologists and patients about complication rates in ESS in a modern context. A complication occurs when injurie…
Outcomes of in-bag transvaginal extraction in a series of 692 laparoscopic myomectomies: results from a large retrospective analysis
2022
Transvaginal extraction is a feasible method to remove surgical specimen. In this study, we aim to report our experience with in-bag transvaginal specimen retrieval after laparoscopic myomectomy over the past 15 years.Single-center retrospective analysis.Academic hospital.Women who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy from January 2005 to April 2021.Posterior colpotomy and in-bag transvaginal extraction of the surgical specimen.We collected and analyzed data about patients' characteristics, main indication for surgery, and intra- and postoperative (within 30 days) complications.A total of 692 women underwent transvaginal specimen retrieval after laparoscopic myomectomy (mean largest myoma diam…
Intact parathyroid hormone value on the first postoperative day following total thyroidectomy as a predictor of permanent hypoparathyroidism: a retro…
2022
Introduction: Hypoparathyroidism represents a common complication following total thyroidectomy. To date, there is still no reliable and immediate postoperative parameter to establish which patients with postsurgical hypoparathyroidism will develop permanent hypoparathyroidism. The main purpose of the present study was to assess whether the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) value on the first postoperative day is a good predictor of permanent hypoparathyroidism. Material and methods: Patients undergoing thyroidectomy in our unit between March 2018 and January 2020 were analysed. According to the iPTH value on the first postoperative day and on the basis of the detection threshold of the iPT…

Ar piekļuvi saistītas komplikācijas hemodialīzes pacientiem
2018
Ievads: ar asinsvadu pieeju saistītas komplikācijas tiek bieži novērotas hemodialīzes (HD) pacientiem, kuriem tās palielina komorbiditātes un nāves riskus. Mērķis: Izpētīt saslimstības un ar piekļuvi saistīto komplikāciju veidus Latvijas HD pacientiem, kā arī iespējamos riska faktorus un to saistību ar komplikācijām, lai veicinātu to novēršanu. Materiāli un metodes: Šis ir retrospektīvs aprakstošs pētījums, kura pamatā ir Paula Stradiņa Klīniskās Universitātes slimnīcas (PSKUS) HD nodaļas pacientu datu apkopojums. Pētījumā tika iekļauti visi hroniskie HD pacienti, kuri laika posmā no 2018. g. 26.februāra līdz 26. martam saņēma regulāru hronisku HD. Šo pacientu dialīzes piekļuves komplikācij…
Perioperative and periprocedural airway management and respiratory safety for the obese patient: 2016 SIAARTI Consensus.
2016
Proper management of obese patients requires a team vision and appropriate behaviors by all health care providers in hospital. Specialist competencies are fundamental, as are specific clinical pathways and good clinical practices designed to deal with patients whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is ≥30 kg/m2. Standards of care for bariatric and non-bariatric surgery and for the critical care management of this population exist but are not well defined nor clearly followed in every hospital. Thus every anesthesiologist is likely to deal with this challenging population. Obesity is a multisystem, chronic, proinflammatory disorder. Unfortunately many countries are facing a marked increase in the obese…
Klotho urinario determinado por ELISA como biomarcador precoz de fracaso renal agudo en pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca o angiografía coronaria
2015
ResumenIntroducción y objetivos: El fracaso renal agudo (FRA) es una complicación frecuente tras la cirugía cardiaca y las intervenciones percutáneas coronarias cuya aparición empeora el pronóstico de manera marcada. En los últimos años se han identificado nuevos biomarcadores precoces de FRA, pero aún quedan muchos aspectos importantes por resolver. Klotho es una proteína pleiotrópica que actúa como un factor paracrino y endocrino en múltiples órganos. En diversos modelos animales de FRA se ha demostrado niveles disminuidos de Klotho renal. No se ha publicado ningún estudio en el que se haya probado Klotho como marcador precoz de FRA en humanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la…
Familial hypercholesterolæmia in children and adolescents: Gaining decades of life by optimizing detection and treatment
2015
Contains fulltext : 155263.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common genetic cause of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Globally, one baby is born with FH every minute. If diagnosed and treated early in childhood, individuals with FH can have normal life expectancy. This consensus paper aims to improve awareness of the need for early detection and management of FH children. Familial hypercholesterolaemia is diagnosed either on phenotypic criteria, i.e. an elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level plus a family history of elevated LDL-C, premature coronary artery disease and/or genetic diagnosis, or positive genetic testin…
MDCT Enteroclysis and Enterography
2015
Since the first studies suggesting its possible role in the management of Crohn’s disease patients, multidetector computed tomography has usually been considered a useful diagnostic technique in Crohn’s disease for the detection of extraenteric complications, as intra-abdominal abscesses, the study of strictures, prestenotic dilatations, fistulas, and postsurgical complications. Moreover, it is a widely available technique and is considered the gold standard in emergency.
Relative incidence and mortality of congenital heart defects diagnosed by angiohemodynamic methods: a 17-year study.
1992
Over a 17-year period (January 1971 to January 1988), 2322 children, aged 0-14 years, were diagnosed as having congenital heart disease (CHD) by cardiac catheterization and angiography. Excluding those with highly complex or undiagnosed defects, there were 2156 children with CHD, 72.4% of whom were treated surgically, with a total surgical mortality rate of 24.1%. After a mean follow-up of 9 years the overall mortality of the cohort was 29.9%, 29.1% occurring in the first month of life, 39.6% between 1 month and 1 year, and 31.2% between 1 and 14 years. The incidence, mortality, and age at death of each cardiac defect are presented and compared with the results of other studies. The overall…
