Differences in Accuracy and Radiation Dose in Placement of Iliosacral Screws: Comparison between 3D and 2D Fluoroscopy

2022

Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation is a widely accepted method of stabilizing the posterior pelvic ring. Recently developed tools such as 3D-navigated fluoroscopy and computed navigation seem to prevent a surgeon from conducting screw misplacement. The study aimed to comparatively assess the introduction of sacroiliac screw placement using 2D and 3D fluoroscopy in terms of accuracy and radiation exposure. Iliosacral screws were introduced in 37 patients using 2D (group N1) and in 36 patients using 3D fluoroscopy (group N2) techniques. Overall, 61 and 56 screws were introduced in groups N1 and N2, respectively. Screw placement accuracy was assessed using postoperative computed tomography…

Wpływ stanu napięcia mięśni dna miednicy na ocenę poziomu zaburzeń erekcji i nietrzymania moczu u osób po prostatektomii radykalnej. Doniesienie wstę…

2017

Celem pracy była ocena, jak napięcie mięśni dna miednicy (MDM) mierzonego za pomocą sEMG wpływa na ocenę obiektywną i subiektywną trzymania moczu oraz zaburzeń erekcji. W badaniach uczestniczyło 10 mężczyzn, będących po zabiegu prostatektomii. Nasilenie objawów nietrzymania moczu oceniano na podstawie kwestionariusza ICIQ-SF, aktywność seksualną kwestionariuszem IIEF-5. Nie wykazano istotnego statystycznie związku między napięciem MDM, ocenianego za pomocą sEMG, a obiektywnymi wyznacznikami nietrzymania moczu, jednakże zaobserwowano tendencję, że niższe napięcie MDM występuje częściej u chorych ze wszystkimi dolegliwościami w ocenie subiektywnej.

SAGITTAL ALIGNMENT OF SPINE REGULATED BY PELVIC INCIDENCE: A REVIEW

2012

The present paper is not only a review of the literature on pelvic incidence parameter, is also designed to reflect anew to the actions of preventive and compensatory physical activity, with particular reference to abdominal exercises. The incidence pelvic anatomy is a parameter whose value represents the angle between the perpendicular to the sacral plate at its midpoint and the line joining this point to the axis of the femoral head; it controls the spinal curves in accordance with the adaptability other parameters. The studies analyzed here suggest new considerations to be applied in the dynamic execution of preventive and compensatory physical activity. The training of the muscles lumba…

An Extremely Rare Case of Disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis with a Pelvic Leiomyosarcoma and Omental Metastasis after Laparoscopic Morcellation:…

2022

Minimally invasive treatment of uterine fibroids usually requires a power morcellation, which could be associated with several complications. A rare sequela is disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. Indeed, recurrence or metastasis in these cases could be attributed to iatrogenic or under-evaluation of primary tumors, although a subset of cases is a sporadic sample of biological progression. We present an extremely rare case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic morcellation and after 12 years developed a pelvic leiomyosarcoma with two omental metastases, disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis with a parasite leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei and a parasite cellular leiomyoma simultaneously.…

Total Pain and Illness Acceptance in Pelvic Cancer Patients: Exploring Self-Efficacy and Stress in a Moderated Mediation Model.

2022

Cancer patients experience pain not only in its physical dimension, but also in a broader context that includes psychological, social, and spiritual aspects due to a higher level of anxiety and stress. The present prospective, longitudinal study examined the relationship between total pain and illness acceptance among pelvic cancer patients, taking into consideration the moderated mediation effects of self-efficacy and stress. The study involved a sample of pelvic cancer patients receiving radiotherapy treatment. Assessments were completed at T1 (before radiotherapy), T2 (after 3–4 weeks), and T3 (after radiotherapy) to assess the psychosocial dynamics of illness acceptance (N = 267). The m…

ANTINFLAMMATORY EFFECT OF LEVORAG (THD) EMULGEL ON RADIATION PROCTOCOLITIS AROUND A COLO-ANAL ANASTOMOSIS: AN INNOVATIVE CASE REPORT

2020

Post-radiation proctitis (PRP) is one of most common complications after abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy for different malignancies. Chronic radiation proctitis (CRP) usually develops 90 days or more after radiation. The present study aimed to show the employment of Levorag Emulgel® (THD S.p.A Correggio, Reggio-Emilia, Italy) as off-label topical treatment, by instillation, to resolve the acute phase of PRP around a coloanal anastomosis, in a patient undergone surgery for an adenocarcinoma of the low rectum, then treated with the Gatekeeper® methodic to resolve fecal incontinence as consequence of the first surgical rectal resection. In conclusion, we can affirm that our methodic could re…

TENSION FREE CYSTOCELE REPAIR. FOUR YEARS FOLLOW-UP

2003

Aims of study: Anterior vaginal wall descensus is one of the most frequent alteration in patients with pelvic defects. At least 50% of women that had delivered two or more times presented a certain degree of this pathologic alteration of the anatomy, even thought only 10-20% of the patients complained of associated pains. The use of synthetic biocompatible materials has become more common in gynecology surgery(1)-(3). Polypropylene mesh to be proposed as a mean of surgical correction of moderate severe cystocele (Cervigni 1998)(2) Methods: 97 patients aged 42-75, parity 1-5, body weight 45-90, menopause 41 pts. (61%).Irritative sintoms( nocturia, frequency, urgency, dysuria and urge inconti…

Female reproductive factors are associated with objectively measured physical activity in middle-aged women

2017

Physical activity improves health and may delay the onset of several chronic diseases. For women in particular, the rate of these diseases accelerates at middle age; therefore it is important to identify the determinants of health-enhancing physical activity during midlife in this population. In this study, we focused on determinants that are unique to the female sex, such as childbearing and menopause. The main objective was to characterize the level of physical activity and differences between active and inactive middle-aged Finnish women. In addition, we examined the association of physical activity with female reproductive factors at midlife. The study population consisted of 647 women …
