Laparoscopic retrieval of a foreign body (broken surgical knife) from retroperitoneal space: An interesting case.

ABSTRACT: We present a rare and interesting case, of a retrieval of a broken surgical knife blade, from the retroperitoneal space, through laparoscopic approach by a gynecology endoscopist. A 40-year-oId man underwent open lumbar discectomy surgery, when the surgical knife blade inadvertently broke, and was retained in the disc space. The broken blade could not be removed during the initial surgery. A second attempt was made to retrieve it; however, it migrated further anteriorly into the retroperitoneal space. Subsequently, a gynecology endoscopist was called in, who successfully retrieved the broken blade from the retroperitoneal space through laparoscopic approach. A four-port laparoscopic transperitoneal approach was performed. The broken fragment of the knife was found just medial to the left common iliac artery in the retroperitoneal space, which was removed. Operation time was 40 minutes and the postoperative course was uneventful.

Metalophagia: Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm after foreign body ingestion and retrieval.

Project description:Persistent eating of non-nutritive, nonfood substances (Pica) is seen in children and adult patients with psychiatric problems. Ingestion of multiple metallic FBs with resultant bezoar formation is rare. While many FBs are passed without complication, mucosal injury, bleeding, obstruction or perforation can occur in some cases. Endoscopic FB removal is performed in 20% of patients following FB ingestion. Generally, these are safe procedures, and very effective in extracting ingested FBs. We report, a 25-year-old male patient with a metal ingestion predominant Pica, requiring multiple prior extraction procedures (including open gastrostomy). He developed a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm following his latest endoscopic FB removal, that was successfully treated with transarterial coil embolization. The unique circumstances leading to this rare complication and its successful endovascular management make this case worthy of report.

Surgical retrieval of broken, inflated angioplasty balloon catheter within intracoronary stent: A real emergency.

Project description:A 54-year old, hypertensive female patient underwent percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA) followed by stenting of calcified chronic totally occluded right coronary artery. The post dilation balloon catheter got stuck and snapped during manipulations in inflated position within the stent, which could not be retrieved by nonsurgical interventions. Emergency surgery was performed to retrieve the stent along with an inflated balloon, followed by vein patch closure of arteriotomy and reversed saphenous vein graft anastomosis to right coronary artery and left anterior descending artery on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Influence of variations in arterial PCO2 on surgical conditions during laparoscopic retroperitoneal surgery.

Project description:Although deep neuromuscular block (post-tetanic-count 1-2 twitches) improves surgical conditions during laparoscopic retroperitoneal surgery compared with standard block (train-of-four 1-2 twitches), the quality of surgical conditions varies widely, often related to diaphragmatic contractions. Hypocapnia may improve surgical conditions. Therefore we studied the effect of changes in arterial carbon dioxide concentrations on surgical conditions in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia and deep neuromuscular block.Forty patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery for prostatectomy or nephrectomy received propofol/remifentanil anaesthesia and deep neuromuscular block with rocuronium. Patients were randomized to surgery under hypocapnic or hypercapnic conditions. During surgery, the surgical conditions were evaluated using the 5-point Leiden-Surgical Rating Scale (L-SRS) ranging from 1 (extremely poor conditions) to 5 (optimal conditions) by the surgeon, who was blinded to group.Mean (sd) arterial carbon dioxide concentrations were 4.5 (0.6) [range: 3.8-5.6] kPa under hypocapnic and 6.9 (0.6) [6.1-8.1] kPa under hypercapnic conditions. The L-SRS did not differ between groups: 4.84 (0.4) [4-5] in hypocapnia and 4.77 (0.4) [3.9-5] in hypercapnia. Ninety-nine percent of ratings were good or excellent irrespective of treatment.Deep neuromuscular block provides good to optimal surgical conditions in laparoscopic retroperitoneal urological surgery, independent of the level of arterial [Formula: see text].NCT01968447.

Endovascular retrieval of foreign body in persistent left-sided superior vena cava.

Project description:Endovascular retrieval of a foreign body is becoming an increasingly common procedure in the management of complications resulting from more frequent endovascular procedures. Many procedures are performed on a regular basis in assessment of vascular anatomy, endovascular-guided therapy, and catheter placement. This case report depicts a complication of a chemoport placement resulting in a foreign body. Evaluation of the foreign body raised attention to aberrant anatomy, a persistent left-sided superior vena cava. We further discuss briefly the embryology behind a persistent left-sided superior vena cava, technical errors leading to the foreign body, and assessing the nature of the foreign body through different imaging modalities. This is followed by the subsequent endovascular retrieval by Interventional Radiology and a literature review and individual case assessment of endovascular foreign body retrieval. We discuss considerations for practice based upon our literature review.

Eustachian Tube Foreign Body with Endoscopic-Assisted Surgical Removal.

Project description:Objectives:Foreign bodies of the external and middle ear are not uncommon; however, foreign bodies in the eustachian tube are rare. Here we describe the presentation, imaging, and endoscopic-assisted surgical management of a case of eustachian tube foreign body. Methods:A 34-year-old male was seen for evaluation of foreign body of the left eustachian tube while working with metal at a machine shop. Imaging and surgical management are highlighted and review of available literature regarding foreign bodies of the eustachian tube is presented. Results:A CT scan revealed a foreign body present approximately 1?cm into the bony eustachian tube. The patient underwent middle ear exploration which required endoscopic assistance to adequately visualize the foreign body. The foreign body was unable to be removed and required the creation of a bony tunnel lateral to the eustachian tube for visualization and access to the foreign body. Conclusions:This report presents a rare case of eustachian tube foreign body. Use of the endoscope during the surgical removal greatly enhanced the ease and safety of removal. This report also highlights the importance of ear protection with any machining and welding work.

Real-time video-assisted retrieval of airway foreign body in very young pediatric patients.

Project description:ObjectivesAdvancements in medical endoscopy and techniques of rigid bronchoscopy for foreign body removal have enabled higher diagnostic accuracy, reduced morbidity and precise manipulation. However, in pediatric patients, endoscope-combined forceps may be too big to fit into the small sized airway. Here we present our method of endoscope assisted rigid bronchoscopy in pediatric patients and compare the clinical benefits with conventional naked-eye rigid bronchoscopy.MethodsWe used a 2.7 mm, 0° straight endoscope and small caliber grasping forceps with 3.0 to 4.5 mm sized rigid bronchoscopy for very young (<3 years of age) patients of foreign body aspiration. As an assistant held the rigid bronchoscope in situ, the operator could manipulate the endoscope and forceps bimanually. With endoscopic guidance, the foreign body retrieval was performed carefully. The clinical advantages were compared between our endoscope-assisted method (n=29) and the conventional bronchoscopy method (n=33) in terms of operation time and recovery (hospital stay).ResultsBimanual endoscope-assisted rigid bronchoscopy method was technically feasible and safe. The operation time was less, compared to the conventional technique and the patients recovered more quickly. In all cases, our method completely removed the foreign body without need of a second bronchoscopy procedure.ConclusionBimanual endoscope-assisted retrieval of airway foreign body in very young age pediatric patients was superior to the conventional naked-eye method concerning accurate manipulation and safety.

A demonstration of 'broken' visual space.

Project description:It has long been assumed that there is a distorted mapping between real and 'perceived' space, based on demonstrations of systematic errors in judgements of slant, curvature, direction and separation. Here, we have applied a direct test to the notion of a coherent visual space. In an immersive virtual environment, participants judged the relative distance of two squares displayed in separate intervals. On some trials, the virtual scene expanded by a factor of four between intervals although, in line with recent results, participants did not report any noticeable change in the scene. We found that there was no consistent depth ordering of objects that can explain the distance matches participants made in this environment (e.g. A>B>D yet also A<C<D) and hence no single one-to-one mapping between participants' perceived space and any real 3D environment. Instead, factors that affect pairwise comparisons of distances dictate participants' performance. These data contradict, more directly than previous experiments, the idea that the visual system builds and uses a coherent internal 3D representation of a scene.

Laparoscopic hemostasis and drainage for postpartum retroperitoneal hematoma complicated with an infection: A case report and surgical video.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Postpartum retroperitoneal hematomas are a potential complication of childbirth. The management of secondary infections of such hematomas has not been fully elucidated. We present a typical case of such management via laparoscopic surgery, and include a surgical video.Case presentationA woman in her 20s experienced fever and right lower quadrant pain and distension on postpartum day 2. Pelvic examination revealed a hump on the vaginal wall on the right side of the uterine cervix, and ultrasonography revealed a hematoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed no active extravasation into the hematoma. Conservative antibiotic treatment was started; however, on postpartum day 6, her pain increased and her C-reactive protein concentration and white blood cell count were high. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a paravaginal/upper vaginal wall hematoma (80 × 70 × 63 mm) located to the right of the uterus and bladder. Hence, laparoscopic drainage was performed on postpartum day 7. The retroperitoneal hematoma was incised and drained. The source of bleeding was the right vaginal vein, and bleeding was halted via electrocoagulation. The patient's symptoms improved immediately, and the postoperative course was uneventful.Clinical discussionThe laparoscopic approach enabled immediate hemostasis and identification of the source of bleeding. The drainage route was cleaner than would be possible via a vaginal approach, possibly preventing postoperative retrograde re-infection.ConclusionLaparoscopic surgery for postpartum retroperitoneal hematoma with infection was useful for both drainage and hemostasis.
