Autologous fibrin sealant (Vivostat(®)) in the neurosurgical practice: Part I: Intracranial surgical procedure.
2014
Background: Hemorrhages, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistula and infections are the most challenging postoperative complications in Neurosurgery. In this study, we report our preliminary results using a fully autologous fibrin sealant agent, the Vivostat ® system, in achieving hemostasis and CSF leakage repair during cranio‑cerebral procedures. Methods: From January 2012 to March 2014, 77 patients were studied prospectively and data were collected and analyzed. Autologous fibrin sealant, taken from patient’s blood, was prepared with the Vivostat ® system and applied on the resection bed or above the dura mater to achieve hemostasis and dural sealing. The surgical technique, time to bleeding c…

Inter- and Intraobserver Variation in the Assessment of Preoperative Colostograms in Male Anorectal Malformations: An ARM-Net Consortium Survey
2020
Aim:Male patients with anorectal malformations (ARM) are classified according to presence and level of the recto-urinary fistula. This is traditionally established by a preoperative high-pressure distal colostogram that may be variably interpreted by different surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intraobserver variation in the assessment by pediatric surgeons of preoperative colostograms with respect to the level of the recto-urinary fistula. Materials and Methods:Sixteen pediatric surgeons from 14 European centers belonging to the ARM-Net Consortium twice scored 130 images of distal colostograms taken in sagittal projection at a median age of 66 days of life (rang…
Utilidad de la ecografía endoanal tridimensional para el manejo y el diagnóstico de las fístulas perianales
2014
Las fístulas perianales afectan alrededor de 10/100000 personas/años con un pico de incidencia entre la tercera y la quinta década de la vida. Las fístulas y los abscesos perianales representan estadios sucesivos de una misma enfermedad supurativa, siendo entre el 80-90% de origen criptoglandular. La clasificación de las fístulas perianales no siempre resulta sencilla. La más utilizada y conocida es la clasificación de Parks, la cual divide las fístulas en: interesfintéricas, transesfintéricas, supraesfintéricas y extraesfintéricas. Otras formas clásicas de clasificar las fístulas es en: simples y complejas (según la dificultad a la hora del manejo) o altas y bajas (según la altura a la que…
A 30 YEAR EXPERIENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ANAL FISTULA.
2017
Anal fistula has been recognized for centuries, and yet, its treatment remains a challenge for surgeons till today. In this study, a 30 year experience of treating anal fistula is being reported and discussed in light of the various recognized management methods. A total of 320 patients were treated by fistulotomy, fistulectomy, fistula plugging or seton technique. Data showed that fistula plugging carried the highest failure rate (89%) seconded by fistulectomy (37%), seton procedure (24.5%) and fistulotomy (15.6%). High transsphincteric fistulas were more likely to predict failure compared to low transsphincteric, intersphincteric and subcutaneous fistulas (37.5% versus 9.5%, 7.3% and 0%, …
Management of labyrinthine fistula in chronic otitis with cholesteatoma: case series.
2015
Labyrinthine fistula is a complication of ear cholesteatoma that increase the risk of sensorineural hearing loss. The management of the fistula must be done contextually with mastoidectomy by: leaving cholesteatoma matrix over the fistula, or remove the matrix reconstructing the defect. Objective: analysis of the two techniques to treat labyrinthine fistula. Methods: retrospective review with case series analysis. Results: a labyrinthine fistula was present in 14% of cholesteatoma patients; CT scan was pre-dictive in all cases; the hearing preservation was obtained with both techniques; a re-currence was detected only in one case; postoperative nystagmus incidence was higher in those cases …
Coronary artery fistulas: symptoms may not correlate to size. An emblematic case and literature review
2015
<p>Coronary artery fistulas are rare anatomic abnormalities of the coronary arteries present in 0.002% of the general population and represent 14% of all anomalies of coronary arteries. Their clinical relevance focuses mainly on the mechanism of "coronary steal phenomenon”, causing myocardial functional ischemia even in the absence of stenosis, hence common symptoms are angina or dyspnea. Small size fistulas are mostly asymptomatic and have excellent prognosis if managed medically with regular follow-up consisting also in echocardiography every 2-5 years. Big-sized and symptomatic fistulas, on the contrary, should undergo invasive closure, either with a transcatheter approach or with …
PROSTATOSYMPHYSEAL FISTULA AFTER TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF THE PROSTATE
2001
The formation of a urethrosymphyseal fistula is a rare complication after transurethral resection of the prostate. It may develop secondary to previous radiation therapy of the pelvis. We describe a case of spontaneous fistula formation after transurethral resection of the prostate. CASE REPORT
