Mini Inferior Turbinoplasty-Tunneling Technique.

ABSTRACT: Techniques for inferior turbinate reduction vary with various surgical methods, which differ in the approach of preservation of tissue from total turbinectomy to limited submucosal cauterization. Our preferred method to address hypertrophic inferior turbinate by mini turbinoplasty-tunneling technique are presented. Critical steps include creation of window in the inferior turbinate with a 4 mm microdebrider blade and removal of both inferior turbinate mucosal hypertrophy and bony component to convert a convex looking inferior turbinate to concave shape. This allows proper debulking of the entire medial aspect of the inferior turbinate and widening of the nasal valve area. Mini turbinoplasty-tunneling technique for hypertrophic inferior turbinates, is a safe method in achieving turbinate size reduction with minimal morbidity and long-term relief of nasal obstructive symptoms without added risk of complications.

Laparoscopic bilateral cervicosacropexy: introduction to a new tunneling technique.

Project description:Introduction and hypothesisTo elevate and suspend the apical end of the vagina, the uterosacral ligaments (USL) were replaced by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) structures. These PVDF structures were placed in the peritoneal folds of the USL at the pelvic wall to mimic the lateral and backward tension and to avoid rectal obstruction. A special tunneling device was used, which allowed the semi-circular placement of the structure without destroying the peritoneum.MethodsA 59-year-old woman with mixed urinary incontinence and apical prolapse (pelvic organ prolapse quantification system, POP-Q, stage 2) of the uterus underwent laparoscopic bilateral USL replacement. USLs were replaced by PVDF structures by performing the cervicosacropexy (CESA) technique using a semi-circular tunneling device.ResultsApical support was restored (POP-Q stage 0), and the patient was continent thereafter. The tunneling device was pulled through the peritoneal folds of the USLs toward the cervix. The new USL structures were brought to their physiological position. The new technique did not lead to any complications and did not cause any side effects during 1-year follow-up.ConclusionsRestoration of apical prolapse and urinary continence was achieved by bilateral USL replacement using a semi-circular tunneling device that was inserted through the lateral abdominal trocar incision.

The SWISS IOL Technique (Small-Width Incision Scleral Suture): A Mini-Invasive Technique.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the outcomes and safety of a minimally invasive technique for sutured IOL scleral fixation in case of compromised capsular and iris support.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, we explain our mini-invasive technique and assess the outcomes in terms of visual acuity, pre- or postoperative complications, and IOL position (Sensar AR40e, AMO) in a case series of three patients.ResultsThe expected best corrected visual acuity could be achieved after one month. Surgeries were uneventful with a stable eye. No postoperative complications occurred except for one patient who had a conjunctival disinsertion. Neither postoperative hypotony nor raised IOP was found. Additionally, no patient experienced corneal edema at one week control, IOL dislocation, vitreous hemorrhage, or new pupil's irregularity.ConclusionsIn conclusion, each scleral technique has its own advantages and its inherent postoperative complications. To date, there is no evidence of superiority of any single technique. By improving our scleral sutured lens techniques, we could improve peroperative ocular stability, potentially decrease postoperative complication rate, and offer a rapid recovery with a stable visual acuity within a month.

Tunneling technique for expedited fibula free tissue harvest.

Project description:Free fibula transfer can be associated with a slow and tedious dissection/harvest due to difficulty in visualizing the deeper structures. The purpose of this article is to review the first author's (Y.D.) experience with a novel technique for expedited harvest of fibula free flaps for mandibular reconstruction. A retrospective chart review was performed using the first author's clinical practice using chart data from September 1997 to August of 2007. All patients with available chart data who had undergone free fibular transfer for oromandibular reconstruction were included in this study. Charts that met the specified inclusion criteria were reviewed for patient demographic information, reason for free tissue transfer, flap loss rates (partial and total) and reasons for flap loss, average fibula harvest time (tourniquet time), and foot and ankle function postoperatively. During this time, a total of 283 fibula free flaps were performed in 276 patients. The average fibula harvest time (tourniquet time) for all cases was 22.6 minutes, with a range of 14 to 29 minutes. A total of 13 flaps were unsuccessful (failure rate of 4.6%, with 5 total and 8 partial flap losses). This newly described technique will allow for expedited and simplified harvest of fibula free flaps.

Transconjunctival inferior orbitotomy: indications, surgical technique, and complications.

Project description:Surgical access to the inferior orbit can be accomplished through either a transcutaneous or transconjunctival incision. The preferred approach should provide adequate surgical exposure with the fewest adverse effects. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on the transconjunctival incision and to discuss the indications and complications of the approach. The authors also discuss their preferred technique and provide a step-by-step instruction. The transconjunctival approach provides good surgical access with a low incidence of complications and a better aesthetic outcome than transcutaneous approaches.

Hybrid suture technique vs simple suture technique for antero-inferior labral tears: Two years' clinical outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundWe previously reported a hybrid suture technique, wherein mattress and simple suturing are used to create Mason-Allen configuration, with low recurrence rates. This comparative study looking at the two years' clinical outcomes of arthroscopic anterior labral repair using the hybrid suture technique versus simple suture technique.MethodsWe identified 103 patients who underwent arthroscopic anterior labral repair from 2010 to 2015 with 2-year follow-up. The patients were categorized into two groups: hybrid suture technique (65 patients) and simple suture technique (38 patients). Clinical outcomes measures included UCLA shoulder score, Constant Shoulder Score, Numerical Pain Rating Scale, and Oxford Instability score.ResultsMean age of the patients was 27.02 ± 9.76 years (17-63), with 91 males and 12 females. At 24 months, both groups showed significant improvement in post-operative clinical scores compared to pre-operation. The patients in hybrid sutures technique demonstrated significant improvement in Constant Shoulder Score, UCLA shoulder score and Oxford Instability score compared to simple suture group at 3 months follow up. (121.98 ± 21.05 vs 109.32 ± 21.15, p < 0.05; 65.5 ± 19 vs 57.4 ± 17.6, p < 0.05; 27.3 ± 5.7 vs 23.7 ± 5.0, p < 0.05; 29.3 ± 8.9 vs 33.4 ± 8.2, p < 0.05). The postoperative recurrence rate was comparable between both groups (hybrid suture group 7.81% vs simple suture group 7.84%).ConclusionsArthroscopic anterior labral repair with hybrid suture technique offers significant early improvements in clinical scores and low recurrence rate compared to simple suture technique at 2-year follow-up.Level of evidenceLevel III; Retrospective Cohort Design; Treatment study.

Single-Incision Anatomic Repair Technique for Distal Biceps Tendon Rupture Using Tunneling Device.

Project description:Distal biceps tendon ruptures are uncommon and generally occur in men aged 30 to 50 years in their dominant arm as a result of a strong eccentric load. Numerous surgical exposures and methods of fixation exist for repair of a ruptured distal biceps tendon. The goal of surgical management is to restore the anatomic footprint of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity to maximize flexion strength, supination strength, and muscle endurance. When compared with 2-incision repair techniques, single-incision repairs historically may not have restored the anatomic footprint of the distal biceps. Single-incision repair with the ArthroTunneler is a safe and effective technique that provides the anatomic restoration of a 2-incision approach with the decreased complication profile of a single-incision approach and does not require suture anchors, buttons, screws, or other implants.

Tension band wiring versus suture anchor technique in patellar inferior pole fracture: Novel double row suture anchor technique.

Project description:IntroductionPatellar inferior pole fractures are challenging to obtain sufficient fixation. The purpose of this retrospective, case-controlled study was to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes between tension band wiring (TBW) and our novel double-row suture anchor (SA) technique in patellar inferior pole fractures.Materials and methodsThis retrospective study included patients who underwent TBW or SA fixation for patellar inferior pole fractures from 2015 to 2019. A total of 63 patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure: the TBW group (n = 35) and the SA fixation group (n = 28). The visual analog scale score, range of motion of the knee, Lysholm score, Kujala patellofemoral score, and patient satisfaction score were evaluated for clinical and functional outcomes. Radiological outcomes included the time to radiological union, loss of reduction, and the Insall-Salvati (IS) ratio.ResultsSignificant improvements in clinical outcomes were observed in both groups with no significant differences. Bone union was achieved in all patients, and there was no significant difference in the time to radiological union and the IS ratio between the two groups. All patients in the TBW group underwent additional surgeries for implant removal. However, none of the patients in the SA group underwent implant removal or experienced skin irritation.ConclusionOur novel double-row SA technique could provide comparable fixation strength and good clinical outcomes, with fewer complications in patellar inferior pole fractures. This novel SA technique is a satisfactory alternative treatment for patellar inferior pole fractures.
