Endoscopic Resection of Recalcitrant Tuberculous Bursitis of the Popliteal Fossa.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis of the musculoskeletal system is uncommon and constitutes 1% to 5% of all forms of tuberculosis. In total, 30% of skeletal tuberculosis involves the joints, the knee being the third most commonly affected after the spine and the hip. Knee tuberculosis commonly presents as synovitis or arthritis, and infected Baker's cyst is a rather rare presentation. It is believed to result from the propagation of tuberculosis of the knee joint into the cyst, as approximately one half of the Baker's cyst communicates with the knee joint and it appears as swelling in the medial aspect of the popliteal fossa. For tuberculous popliteal bursitis at the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa, it may be an extra-articular extension of tuberculosis of the knee joint via the popliteal hiatus. Chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment; surgery is indicated in recalcitrant cases. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopic resection of recalcitrant tuberculous bursitis at the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa are described. This minimally invasive technique has the advantage of better cosmetic results and fewer wound complications and reduces the extent of surgical dissection as compared with open surgery.

Endoscopic-Assisted Middle Fossa Craniotomy for Resection of Vestibular Schwannoma.

Project description:Background Rates of hearing preservation following surgery via middle fossa craniotomy in patients harboring tumors with unfavorable characteristics are significantly lower than for those patients with "favorable" tumors. Objectives We will present two cases both with unfavorable conditions, which underwent endoscopic-assisted middle fossa craniotomy (MFC) resection of intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas with preserved postoperative hearing. Methods Chart reviews were conducted on both patients. Their presentation, intraoperative details, and techniques, pre- and postoperative audiograms, and facial nerve outcomes are presented. Results Patient A had 5.6 × 6.8 × 13.2 mm intracanalicular tumor with unserviceable hearing (pure tone audiometry [PTA], 41; speech determination score [SDS], 47%; class D) but was blind so hearing preservation was attempted. Postoperative hearing was preserved (PTA, 47; SDS, 60%; class B). Patient B had a 5 mm round intracanalicular tumor immediately adjacent to the vestibule and cochlea without any fundal fluid present. Preoperative audiogram showed serviceable hearing (PTA, 48; SDS, 88%; class B). Postoperatively, aidable hearing was preserved (PTA, 51; SDS, 76%; class C). Conclusion Hearing preservation surgery via MFC can be enhanced with endoscopic-assisted dissection, especially in the lateral internal auditory canal. The superior optical view allows for preservation of cochlear nerve function and removal of residual tumor not otherwise seen on microscopy.

A rare case of chest wall tuberculosis: Tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis.

Project description:Chest wall tuberculosis is a relatively rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and is often difficult to diagnose and treat because of the lack of symptoms. The scapulothoracic joint is a special joint that does not have a joint capsule, cartilage, or synovial membrane but consists of muscle and bursa. Tuberculosis infection of the scapulothoracic joint is an extremely rare musculoskeletal tuberculosis of the chest wall. Herein, we present the diagnosis and treatment strategy for tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis in an 82-year-old man who was successfully treated.

Recalcitrant Lateral Premalleolar Bursitis of the Ankle Associated with Lateral Ankle Instability.

Project description:Lateral premalleolar bursitis of the ankle is a rarely reported disorder in the English literature although it is not uncommon in Asian countries where people commonly sit on their feet. Here, we present the case of a 66-year-old woman with recalcitrant lateral premalleolar bursitis associated with lateral ankle instability which was successfully treated with surgical resection of the bursa and repair of the anterior talofibular ligament. Operative findings revealed a communication between the bursa and articular cavity of the ankle joint via the sheath of the extensor digitorum longus tendon, which was considered to act as a check valve leading to a large and recalcitrant bursitis. This report provides a novel concept about the etiology of recalcitrant lateral premalleolar bursitis of the ankle.

Endoscopic Trochanteric Bursectomy and Iliotibial Band Release for Persistent Trochanteric Bursitis.

Project description:Lateral hip pain associated with trochanteric bursitis is a common orthopedic condition, and can be debilitating in chronic or recalcitrant situations. Conservative management is the most common initial treatment and often results in resolution of symptoms and improved patient outcomes. These modalities include rest, activity modification, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or corticosteroid injections. However, there is a subset of patients in which symptoms persist despite exhaustive conservative modalities. For these patients, trochanteric bursectomy is a surgical option to address persistent pathology. Previous literature indicates that both open and arthroscopic surgical techniques can be used to address the inflamed bursa and results in good patient outcomes. However, recent advances in hip arthroscopy have allowed for improvements in minimally invasive techniques to address intracapsular and extracapsular pathology of the hip, including recalcitrant trochanteric bursitis. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe our technique for a minimally invasive arthroscopic trochanteric bursectomy.

Endoscopic Pubic Symphysectomy for Recalcitrant Osteitis Pubis.

Project description:Recalcitrant osteitis pubis presents a challenging problem for orthopaedic surgeons. Various surgical interventions have been described for treatment, including opening-wedge resection, symphysiodesis, and curettage. We propose that endoscopic pubic symphysectomy offers an effective method of treating such a challenging problem. This article describes in detail the technique used to perform endoscopic pubic symphysectomy, and a companion video demonstrating the procedure is included. Our experience suggests that removal of the interpubic fibrocartilaginous lamina and resection of approximately 1 cm of bone can successfully eliminate all sources of pain and dysfunction caused by the recalcitrant osteitis pubis.

Arthroscopic Distal Clavicle Resection Through the Supraspinatus Fossa Portal.

Project description:Disorders of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint quite often necessitate distal clavicle resection (DCR). Arthroscopic DCR is favored because of it is mini-invasive and convenient to treat concomitant intraarticular or subacromial lesions. In previous reports, arthroscopic DCR was performed through the anterior portal with the patient in beach chair position. However, when the patient is in the lateral decubitus position, it is inconvenient to perform DCR through the anterior portal. Thus, we introduce a special DCR technique through the supraspinatus fossa (SSF) portal. The critical point of this technique is viewing the acromioclavicular joint through the routine posterior portal, creating the SSF portal at the anterior edge of the scapular spine and the same medial-to-lateral level to the AC joint, and enough removal of the posterior edge of the distal clavicle. We believe the introduction of this technique will provide a special technical option when DCR is needed.

ASGE guideline for endoscopic full-thickness resection and submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection.

Project description:With the development of reliable endoscopic closure techniques and tools, endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is emerging as a therapeutic option for the treatment of subepithelial tumors and epithelial neoplasia with significant fibrosis. EFTR may be categorized as "exposed" and "nonexposed." In exposed EFTR, the full-thickness resection is undertaken with a tunneled or nontunneled technique, with subsequent closure of the defect. In nonexposed EFTR, a secure serosa-to-serosa apposition is achieved before full-thickness resection of the isolated lesion. This document reviews current techniques and devices used for EFTR and reviews clinical applications and outcomes.

"All-Endoscopic" Management of Refractory Elbow Bicipitoradial Bursitis and Partial Distal Biceps Tendon Tears.

Project description:Elbow bicipitoradial bursitis and partial distal biceps tendon (DBT) tears are a result of chronic overuse or other infective/inflammatory pathology and may be refractory to conservative treatment. The all-endoscopic approach provides minimally invasive access to the bursal space and DBT, and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be performed under direct endoscopic vision. The technique uses 2 portals, the proximal parabiceps portal and distal anterior portal, and the bursa is insufflated to create a working space. Tissue biopsies are obtained under direct endoscopic visualization, and debridement along 6 bursal zones can be effectively performed. An endoscopic probe test is demonstrated for assessment of partial DBT tears, and low-grade tears are debrided to stable tissue. The all-endoscopic technique is safe and reproducible, and it is a stepping-stone in the learning curve of all-endoscopic repair and reconstruction of distal biceps ruptures.
