Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective
To evaluate the horizontal mattress technique in microvascular anastomosis for size-mismatched vessels.Methods
The present study involved cadaveric simulation using size-mismatched (1.5:1) Thiel-embalmed cadaveric arteries. The authors performed horizontal mattress anastomoses using 9-0 nylon suture and recorded the procedure. Vessel patency was evaluated by saline infusion. Vessels were cut open and photographed; histological slides were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.Results
Four anastomoses were performed. Vessels were found to be patent in all cases, with grade 0 leaks. Intima-on-intima apposition with no intraluminal exposure of muscularis nor adventitia were observed.Conclusion
The present cadaveric study supports the technical feasibility of using horizontal mattress sutures in size-mismatched end-toend anastomoses.

Project description:Correction of caudal septal deviation remains surgically challenging, given its imperative function as a nasal tip stabilizer and factor in tip projection, as well as its impact on the nasolabial angle and length of the nose. Although various procedures have been devised to repair the caudal septum using grafting techniques, correction with minimally invasive isolated suture techniques is limited. In this case report, we describe a modified horizontal mattress suture to correct caudal septal deviation in a patient undergoing revision septorhinoplasty. The patient followed up for 2 years after the surgery, and correction of the anterior caudal septum deviation remained intact.

Project description:Medial meniscal posterior root repair techniques have shown positive yet varied results in the literature. The decision to perform repair has improved clinical outcomes in many situations, although the healing rate is approximately 64% and the repair strength is roughly one-third of the native root strength, with meniscal extrusion being common. We present a technique based on biomechanical evidence to obtain a strong anatomic posterior root repair to restore nearly normal knee mechanics, combining an increased size of footprint under the lateral aspect of the medial meniscal horn for healing and a luggage-tag suture with a posteriorly placed horizontal mattress suture. The horizontal mattress suture is passed to capture the circumferential fibers of the meniscus and the luggage-tag suture is passed to capture the radial fibers of the meniscal body, through a single transtibial tunnel. The aim of this repair is to restore the normal meniscal function.

Project description:BackgroundLymphaticovenous anastomosis is an important surgical treatment for lymphedema, with lymphaticovenous side-to-end anastomosis (LVSEA) and lymphaticovenous end-to-end anastomosis being the most frequently performed procedures. However, LVSEA can cause lymphatic flow obstruction because of regurgitation and tension in the anastomosis. In this study, we introduce a novel and simple procedure to overcome this problem.MethodsThirty-five female patients with lower extremity lymphedema who underwent lymphaticovenous anastomosis at our hospital were included in this study. Eighty-five LVSEA procedures were performed, of which 12 resulted in insufficient venous blood flow. For these 12 anastomoses, the proximal lymphatic vessel underwent clipping after the anastomotic procedure and the venous inflow was monitored. Subsequently, the proximal ligation after side-to-end anastomosis recovery (PLASTER) technique, which involves ligating the proximal side of the lymphatic vessel, was applied. A postoperative evaluation was performed using indocyanine green 6 months after surgery.ResultsDespite the clipping procedure, three of the 12 anastomoses still showed poor venous inflow. Therefore, it was not possible to apply the PLASTER technique in those cases. Among the nine remaining anastomoses in which the PLASTER technique was applied, three (33%) were patent.ConclusionsOur findings show that achieving patent anastomosis is challenging when postoperative venous inflow is poor. We achieved good results by performing proximal ligation after LVSEA. Thus, the PLASTER technique is a particularly useful recovery technique when LVSEA does not result in good run-off.

Project description:Posterior shoulder instability is far less common than anterior instability, and its arthroscopic treatment can be technically demanding. We describe a percutaneous arthroscopic technique for posterior shoulder stabilization using mattress sutures and knotless anchors. Spinal needles are used to pass the sutures percutaneously in a mattress fashion. Knotless anchors are used to secure the sutures under the labrum. These anchors can be used without cannulas, giving easier access to the posterior glenoid. This procedure is simple, cost-effective, and safe, avoiding the presence of both knots and suture strands in contact with the humeral head.

Project description:It is known that dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can be induced to differentiate into vasculogenic endothelial (VE) cells. However, the process that results in sprouting and anastomosis of DPSC-derived vessels remains unclear. Here, we performed studies to understand the mechanisms underpinning the anastomosis of the host vasculature with blood vessels generated by DPSCs (a model for mesenchymal stem cells). VE-cadherin-silenced primary human DPSCs seeded in tooth slice/scaffolds and transplanted into the subcutaneous space of immunodeficient mice generated fewer functional blood vessels (i.e., anastomosed with the host vasculature) than control DPSCs transduced with scrambled sequences. Both VE-cadherin-silenced and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK1)-silenced cells showed a decrease in the number of capillary sprouts in vitro. Interestingly, DPSC stably transduced with a VE-cadherin reporter demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces VE-cadherin expression in sprouting DPSCs undergoing anastomosis, but not in quiescent DPSCs. To begin to understand the mechanisms regulating VE-cadherin, we stably silenced MEK1 and observed that VEGF was no longer able to induce VE-cadherin expression and capillary sprout formation. Notably ERG, a transcriptional factor downstream from MEK/ERK, binds to the promoter region of VE-cadherin (chip assay) and is induced by VEGF in DPSCs. Collectively, these data defined a signaling pathway triggered by VEGF that results in phosphorylation of MEK1/ERK and activation of ERG leading to expression of VE-cadherin, which is required for anastomosis of DPSC-derived blood vessels. In conclusion, these results unveiled a signaling pathway that enables the generation of functional blood vessels upon vasculogenic differentiation of DPSCs.

Project description:BackgroundValdoni technique involves leaving the mucosa layer, between the two anastomosed bowel tract intact, providing for a subsequent breakage of the intestine. It is a technique that allows you to keep the operating field clean.Surgical technique and Case Report: We describe the Valdoni technique. We also report a case of 75 years old man affected by an ascending colon cancer with no metastasis. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy. Making the anastomose, the surgeon did the Valdoni technique, with no intraoperative complications.The postoperative course was characterized by an abdominal pain with swollen abdomen, no flatus and vomit. A computed tomography (CT) revealed a sub-stenosis of the anastomose. We decided to do an urgent colonoscopy, with a resection of the mucosa layer not totally opened, using a Needle-knife Precut. The post procedure course was uneventful. The patient was discharged three days later.ConclusionValdoni technique allows the surgeon to keep the operating field clean. It is a valid alternative when the surgeons have to make a colonic anastomosis, doing open surgery.

Project description:Pulmonary artery anastomosis (PAA) is a critical step in lung transplantation. The conventional approach involves end-to-end anastomosis, which can lead to arterial tortuosity, oozing, stenosis, and thrombosis. Here, we present a modified PAA technique for lung transplantation. The anesthesia protocol and the incision for lung transplantation adhere to standard lung transplantation protocols. The primary innovation is the enhanced pulmonary anastomosis technique. The donor and recipient artery stumps are adjusted to restore their natural anatomical alignment. The donor-recipient stump is everted, ensuring precise alignment of the intima of the donor and recipient arteries. Both ends of the anastomosis are secured using 5-0 Prolene sutures to ensure stability and traction, followed by continuous suturing. In this study, seven patients underwent PAA using this novel technique. Notably, no bleeding was observed upon unveiling and deaerating the anastomosis, eliminating the need for additional sutures. Furthermore, no pulmonary artery torsion or significant prolongation of the anastomotic procedure was observed. Postoperative computed tomography of the chest revealed no anastomotic stenosis or mural thrombosis. This novel cuff anastomosis technique can reduce the risk of thrombosis and prevent torsion and stenosis in the reconstructed artery.

Project description:Here we describe a microfluidic device that accurately reproduces the dynamics of vascular anastomosis, the process by which vascular sprouts connect to achieve perfusion during angiogenesis. The micro-device features two parallel endothelial cell-lined vessel analogues separated by a 300 μm wide collagenous matrix into which the vessels can sprout and form perfused bridging connections. By accurately recapitulating anastomosis in vitro, the device will enable a new generation of studies of the mechanisms of angiogenesis and provide a novel and practical platform for drug screening.

Project description:BackgroundMicrovascular anastomosis is the key for successful free flap transplantation. Ideally, the anastomosis should maintain the flow with minimal turbulence, disruption of endothelium, and minimizing the furrow to prevent thrombosis and failure of the flap. One of the main pitfalls of micro-anastomosis is vessels size mismatch.Method and resultThere are many ways to overcome this issue, which includes forced mechanical dilation of the smaller vessel, oblique cuts, fish mouth cuts, interposition grafts, end-to-side anastomosis, coupling device, and others. Here, we report a simple technique with single customizable longitudinal arteriotomy of the smaller vessel to achieve an adequate size match to the larger vessel. It has been used for more than 10 years at our institution that allow us to achieve an end-to-end patent anastomosis.ConclusionVertical arteriotomy is a simple technique that in our experience achieved end-to-end anastomosis high patency rate.

Project description:Microvascular anastomosis is a critical procedure in cerebral bypass surgeries. In some rare cases, the extraluminal interrupted technique is not optimal because the vessels are immobile and cannot be rotated, and anastomosis can be performed effectively through the intraluminal continuous suturing technique. The authors reported the application of the intraluminal continuous suturing technique in microanastomosis training with silicone tube, rat's common iliac arteries and abdominal aorta. A silicone tube with a diameter of 1.5 mm was used to practice microanastomosis in intraluminal continuous suturing technique. Then the technique was applied in side-to-side, end-to-side anastomoses of common iliac arteries and the end-to-end abdominal aorta anastomoses of rat. The suturing time and patency rates were compared with an alternative intraluminal continuous suturing technique and one-way-up interrupted suturing technique in silicone tube and rat vessel anastomoses. The intraluminal continuous suturing technique could be gained through practicing with silicone tube, and the technique has also been demonstrated effective in side-to-side, end-to-side anastomoses of common iliac arteries of rat and the abdominal aorta end-to-end anastomoses. In all the animal experimental groups with different suturing techniques, there was no difference between the patency rates, all the immediate patency rate was 100%. There was no significant suturing time difference between the two intraluminal continuous suturing techniques, but the two intraluminal continuous suturing techniques were faster than the interrupted technique. The intraluminal continuous suturing technique described in the study could be used as an efficient method for side-to-side, end-to-side and end-to-end anastomosis, especially under the situation the posterior wall of the anastomosis could not be rotated. Proficiency of the technique could be achieved through practicing in laboratory with silicone tube and live animals.
