Minimally Invasive Anterior Semitendinosus Harvest: A Technique to Decrease Saphenous Nerve Injury.

ABSTRACT: Hamstring tendon harvest, especially semitendinosus harvest, has been widely used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for many years. However, donor site morbidity has been described regarding the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Minimally invasive anterior semitendinosus harvest is a simple, safe, reproducible, and elegant technique. A 2-cm vertical incision above the pes anserinus is performed 2 cm medial to the tibial anterior tubercle. The fascia superficialis is opened with a horizontal incision, and the gracilis is isolated using a retractor. The semitendinosus is grabbed with a probe, and the vincula are hooked one by one. The tendon is harvested with a closed stripper. The expansions are cut, and the tendon is detached from the bone with part of the periosteum.

Minimally Invasive Anterior Cruciate Ligament With Quadriceps Tendon Graft: A Proximal-to-Distal Harvest Technique.

Project description:Recent systematic reviews have shown anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts to have superior clinical outcomes compared with traditional bone-patella tendon-bone and hamstring tendons grafts. Using minimally invasive techniques to harvest the QT graft can reduce postoperative pain and intraoperative surgical time. This technique is usually performed with a distal-to-proximal approach but often has issues of inadvertently harvesting a graft short of the desired length or causing a hematoma. As an alternative, we introduce a minimally invasive approach with a proximal-to-distal harvest technique that results in better visualization of tissue planes, more consistent graft sizes, lower risk of inadvertent arthrotomy, and reduced risk of hematoma. The minimally invasive QT graft harvest with a proximal-to-distal approach can offer unique advantages over the current standard distal-to-proximal approach.

Minimally invasive posterior hamstring harvest.

Project description:Autogenous hamstring harvesting for knee ligament reconstruction is a well-established standard. Minimally invasive posterior hamstring harvest is a simple, efficient, reproducible technique for harvest of the semitendinosus or gracilis tendon or both medial hamstring tendons. A 2- to 3-cm longitudinal incision from the popliteal crease proximally, in line with the semitendinosus tendon, is sufficient. The deep fascia is bluntly penetrated, and the tendon or tendons are identified. Adhesions are dissected. Then, an open tendon stripper is used to release the tendon or tendons proximally; a closed, sharp tendon stripper is used to release the tendon or tendons from the pes. Layered, absorbable skin closure is performed, and the skin is covered with a skin sealant, bolster dressing, and plastic adhesive bandage for 2 weeks.

Minimally Invasive Quadriceps Tendon Harvest and Graft Preparation for All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The quadriceps tendon is an infrequently used graft option for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction despite favorable clinical results in the literature with low donor site morbidity. It is a versatile graft that can be harvested with bone or as a soft tissue graft alone. In addition, it can be used for anatomic, double-bundle, transtibial, and all-inside reconstructions. The unique characteristics of the quadriceps tendon allow for the ability to harvest a single-bundle large-diameter graft and minimize disruption of normal anatomy, which makes the quadriceps tendon an excellent choice for all-inside techniques. Recently developed minimally invasive harvest techniques described in this note allow for a reproducible predictable and efficient harvest through a small incision.

Safety and efficacy of vagus nerve preservation technique during minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of McKeown surgery with vagal-sparing using minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).MethodsMcKeown surgery with vagal-sparing technique using MIE was adopted on patients diagnosed with resectable esophageal cancer. From June 2020 to January 2021, a total of 20 patients from the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the National Clinical Research Center for Cancer were enrolled.ResultsThe study group included 17 (85%) males and 3 (15%) females, with an average age of 62.6 (±7.1) years. The most common tumor location was lower thoracic esophagus (n=9, 45%), followed by middle thoracic esophagus (n=8, 40%) and upper thoracic esophagus (n=3, 15%). Nine (45%) patients had T1b disease, followed by T2 (n=8, 40%), T1a (n=2, 10%), and Tis (n=1, 5%). The average operation time was 221.5 (±61.2) minutes. Postoperative complications were as follow: 2 (10%) with hoarseness, 2 (10%) with pulmonary infection, 1 (5%) with arrhythmia, 1 (5%) with anastomotic leakage, 1 (5%) with delayed gastric emptying, 1 (5%) with pleural effusion, and 1 (5%) with diarrhea. Dumping syndrome, cholestasis, and chylothorax were not observed, and there was no perioperative death.ConclusionsMIE with vagus nerve preservation is a feasible and safe technique, with the possibility to be an alternative for esophageal carcinoma. Further study is needed to explore the functional outcome of preserving vagus nerve.

Combined All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Minimally Invasive Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Using Ipsilateral Semitendinosus and Gracilis Autograft.

Project description:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Unrecognized posterolateral laxity is understood as a major cause of ACL reconstruction failure, and concomitant injury to the posterolateral corner (PLC) is prevalent and underdetected. We advocate screening all ACL-deficient knees for PLC injury and present a technique combining minimally invasive PLC reconstruction with anatomic all-inside ACL reconstruction. The combined procedure uses only the ipsilateral hamstring tendons representing a major surgical advantage over traditional management approaches. The semitendinosus is quadrupled and attached to 2 adjustable suspensory cortical fixation devices to form the ACL graft. The gracilis tendon is looped through the fibula head and secured in a single femoral tunnel for the PLC reconstruction via 2 minimally invasive incisions. The use of a single femoral PLC tunnel combined with a single femoral ACL socket minimizes the risk of tunnel convergence.

Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction in the Setting of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

Project description:Recent evidence on the anatomy, function, and biomechanical properties of the anterolateral ligament has led to the recognition of the importance of this structure in the rotational control of the knee. This article describes a technique that allows for minimally invasive anterolateral ligament reconstruction as a complement to most techniques of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A gracilis tendon autograft is harvested and prepared in a double-strand, inverted V-shaped graft. The graft is percutaneously placed through a femoral stab incision, and each strand is then passed deep to the iliotibial band, emerging through each tibial stab incision. After the femoral-end loop graft is fixed, the tibial fixation of each strand is performed in full extension for optimal isometry.

Ultrasound-Guided Posteromedial Semitendinosus Tendon Harvest.

Project description:Hamstring tendon autografts have emerged as the graft of choice by over 50% of sports surgeons worldwide performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A more recent technique in harvesting the semitendinosus tendon, the posteromedial approach, afforded multiple benefits compared with the anteromedial approach. However, for the inexperienced surgeon, the current techniques may not be as simple because of decreased tendon tension after general anesthesia induction and subcutaneous layer dissection, making it difficult to palpate the semitendinosus tendon. By utilizing ultrasound to assist us during our harvest, we can perform the procedure with increased accuracy and efficiency, which leads to a safer, more proficient, and less invasive procedure.

Quadruple-Bundle Semitendinosus-Gracilis Graft Technique for All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Hamstring tendon autograft has been shown to be an excellent option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Adequate graft size can usually be achieved through either a double-bundle technique of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons or a quadruple-bundle technique using a single tendon. To minimize failure rates that result from graft insufficiency, a minimum graft thickness of 8 mm is recommended for reconstruction. However, certain patients possess small native hamstring tendons that do not allow for recommended graft thickness using either of these traditional techniques. Although patient characteristics such as gender, height, and weight have all been associated with hamstring tendon size, accurately predicting which patients will possess inadequate autograft size is not possible. Recognizing this problem intraoperatively after harvesting the tendon presents a difficult scenario for the surgeon. In this technical note, we describe an alternative technique for preparing hamstring tendon autograft that results in significantly increased thickness by essentially utilizing a quadruple-bundle technique with both tendons. We proceed to reconstruct the ACL using an all-inside technique with suture buttons on both the femoral and tibial tunnels. The technique can serve as a rescue method for patients with insufficient hamstring tendon thickness.
