Project description:Introduction and hypothesisDescribe the modified autologous fascial sling procedure that has been employed in the largest randomized controlled trial comparing autologous slings, mesh slings and xenografts.MethodsThe video aims to demonstrate the modified Aldridge technique. The surgical procedure is demonstrated. A 6-cm suprapubic incision is made to harvest the rectus sheath fascia. Loop-0-PDS sutures are attached on either end of the sling. A marking suture is placed in the middle of the graft to facilitate tension-free adjustment. A vaginal incision is made at the mid-urethra. Paraurethral dissection is performed to create a tunnel for the fascial graft to be passed through (in the same manner as with transvaginal mesh slings). The ends of the graft PDS sutures are passed through the paraurethral tunnel. One hand is placed abdominally below the rectus muscles to palpate the pelvic floor from above. The graft sutures are passed through the pelvic floor with control on either side. A cystoscopy is performed to check the bladder integrity. The graft placement is adjusted to be tenson-free. The incisions are closed. The short- and long-term outcomes of this technique have been investigated and published.ResultsThe cure rates and complication rates were no different in the mesh and autologous slings. The xenograft had inferior outcomes.ConclusionAutologous fascial slings can be used in the surgical management of urodynamic stress incontinence. The technique demonstrated in this video is the technique employed in the largest randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy of autologous fascial slings to xenografts and tapes.

Project description:IntroductionProximal hypospadias is the most severe type of hypospadias. Our approach to Koyanagi technique for proximal hypospadias aims to improve the blood supply to the neourethral flaps and reduce meatal complications.MethodsOur prospective study included 75 patients who were operated for proximal hypospadias by our Koyanagi technique at Viet Duc hospital between January 2019 and December 2020. The clinical information obtained included a detailed medical history; preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data; short-term outcomes by the HOSE score were evaluated by a different physician.ResultsThe mean (range) age was 3.59 ± 2.41 years (1.5-14), 86.7% under 5 years old. There are 31 penoscrotal, 31 scrotal, and 13 perineal hypospadias. The length of the neourethra ranged from 3.5 to 8 cm, mean 5.02 ± 0.88 cm. Evaluation of the surgeon at 6 months after surgery: primary success 81.3%. Complications occurred in 14 cases (18.7%), included 10 urethrocutaneous fistula and 4 dehiscence of the urethra. No cases of meatal stenosis or recession, urethral stricture, urethral diverticula. The mean HOSE score was found to be 14.47 ± 1.35, ranged 11 to 16. 57 patients (76%) had a total HOSE 14 and above and 18 patients had score below 14 (24%).ConclusionOur modified Koyanagi technique give us a good result for one-stage reconstruction of proximal hypospadias. Applying the HOSE score makes postoperative evaluation of hypospadias more objective and reliable.

Project description:Women without stress urinary incontinence undergoing vaginal surgery for pelvic-organ prolapse are at risk for postoperative urinary incontinence. A midurethral sling may be placed at the time of prolapse repair to reduce this risk.We performed a multicenter trial involving women without symptoms of stress incontinence and with anterior prolapse (of stage 2 or higher on a Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system examination) who were planning to undergo vaginal prolapse surgery. Women were randomly assigned to receive either a midurethral sling or sham incisions during surgery. One primary end point was urinary incontinence or treatment for this condition at 3 months. The second primary end point was the presence of incontinence at 12 months, allowing for subsequent treatment for incontinence.Of the 337 women who underwent randomization, 327 (97%) completed follow-up at 1 year. At 3 months, the rate of urinary incontinence (or treatment) was 23.6% in the sling group and 49.4% in the sham group (P<0.001). At 12 months, urinary incontinence (allowing for subsequent treatment of incontinence) was present in 27.3% and 43.0% of patients in the sling and sham groups, respectively (P=0.002). The number needed to treat with a sling to prevent one case of urinary incontinence at 12 months was 6.3. The rate of bladder perforation was higher in the sling group than in the sham group (6.7% vs. 0%), as were rates of urinary tract infection (31.0% vs. 18.3%), major bleeding complications (3.1% vs. 0%), and incomplete bladder emptying 6 weeks after surgery (3.7% vs. 0%) (P?0.05 for all comparisons).A prophylactic midurethral sling inserted during vaginal prolapse surgery resulted in a lower rate of urinary incontinence at 3 and 12 months but higher rates of adverse events.

Project description:Background and purposeAngioplasty and stenting of the IA have been reported with high technical and clinical success rates, low complication rates and good mid-term patency rates. Different antegrade or retrograde endovascular catheter-based approaches and combinations with surgical exposure of the CCA are used. The purpose of this study was to determine safety, efficacy and mid-term clinical and radiological outcome of the stent-assisted treatment of atherosclerotic stenotic disease of the IA with special focus on the different technical approaches.Materials and methodsBetween 1996 and 2008, 18 patients (12 men, 6 women) with symptomatic high-grade stenosis (>80%) of the IA were treated with endovascular stent placement. Their mean age was 60.4 years (range, 48-78 years). Mean angiographic and clinical follow-up was 2.7 years (range, 0.3-9.1 years). Clinical follow-up was performed by using the mRS at hospital discharge, routine follow-up controls, and a questionnaire. In 11 patients, a percutaneous approach was used. In 7 patients, the lesions were accessed retrogradely through a cervical cut-down with common carotid arteriotomy. In 2 patients, a simultaneous ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy was performed.ResultsIn all patients, primary stent placement was performed. There were 2 procedure-related transient complications (11.1%) due to cerebral embolism without permanent morbidity or mortality. During the follow-up, all patients showed improvement of the preprocedural symptoms. At the latest clinical follow-up (mean, 2.7 years), all patients showed an excellent or good outcome (mRS, 0 or 1). In 2 patients (11.1%), a secondary stent placement was needed due to a significant symptomatic in-stent stenosis.ConclusionsPercutaneous and open retrograde stenting of high-grade stenosis of the IA is a viable less invasive alternatives to open bypass surgery with good midterm clinical results and patency rates.

Project description:Background and Purpose:Angioplasty and stenting of the subclavian artery have been reported with high technical and clinical success rates, low complication rates, and good midterm patency rates. Different antegrade or retrograde endovascular catheter-based approaches are used. Nowadays, endovascular therapy has taken over open surgical techniques in subclavian artery disease. The purpose of this study was to determine safety, efficacy, and midterm clinical and radiological outcome of the endovascular treatment with special focus on the different technical approaches in subclavian artery disease. Materials and Methods:Between 2014 and 2017, 11 patients (10 men, 1 woman) with symptomatic high-grade stenosis (90%-100%) of the subclavian artery were treated with endovascular treatment. Their mean age was 51.3 years (range, 32-61 years). Mean angiographic and clinical follow-up was 22.5 months (range, 5-44 months). Clinical follow-up was performed at hospital discharge and routine follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 12 months, and 6 monthly thereafter. In all 11 patients, a percutaneous approach was used successfully. In eight patients, the lesions were accessed retrogradely through a brachial artery puncture. Results:Acute success rate was 100%. There were no significant peri-procedure complications. At the latest clinical follow-up (mean of 22.5 months), all patients showed a good outcome with a restenosis rate of 18.2% including a patient with Takayasu arteritis. Conclusion:Percutaneous antegrade and retrograde stenting of high-grade subclavian artery stenosis is a viable less invasive alternative to open bypass surgery with good midterm clinical results and patency rates.
