Comprehensive evaluation of three-dimensional anatomy of perigastric vessels using enhanced multidetector-row computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To perform laparoscopic gastrectomy safely, we aimed to comprehensively re-evaluate perigastric vessel anatomies using a three-dimensional angiography reconstructed from enhanced multidetector-row computed tomography data.

Methods

Perigastric vessel anatomy was preoperatively analyzed using a multidetector-row computed tomography-based three-dimensional angiography reconstructed in 127 patients undergoing gastric surgery.

Results

Of the 67 left gastric veins that ran along the dorsal side of the arteries, 59 (88.1%) ran along the dorsal side of the common hepatic artery and flowed into the portal vein. In 18 cases, a common trunk of one to three left gastric arteries and the replaced left hepatic artery was observed. The left inferior phrenic artery ramified from the left gastric artery in 5.5% of the cases. The right gastric artery was classified into distal (73.2%), caudal (18.1%), and proximal (8.7%) types. The infra-pyloric artery was also classified into distal (64.6%), caudal (26.0%), and proximal (9.4%) types. The posterior gastric artery branched as a common trunk with the superior polar artery in the proximal (37.9%) and distal (18.4%) regions of the splenic artery. The left gastroepiploic artery ramified from the splenic (18.1%) and inferior terminal arteries (81.9%). No, one, and two gastric branches of the left gastroepiploic artery, which ramified between the roots of the left gastroepiploic artery and its omental branch, were found in 36.5%, 49.2%, and 14.3% of the cases, respectively.

Conclusions

Preoperative 3D angiography is useful for the precise evaluation of perigastric vessel anatomies, and may help us to perform laparoscopic gastrectomy and robotic surgery safely.

Project description:Background: Reconstruction with the use of perforator flaps makes it possible to make the skin surface resistant to the influence of mechanical factors and as similar to the lost skin cover as possible. However, while planning any flap, along with the design of the required shape and size, its blood supply should be taken into account to ensure optimal viability. Therefore, the task to precisely determine the topographic-anatomical relationships suitable for the formation of a pedicle of perforators is still relevant. The aim of this study was to increase the efficiency of surgical reconstruction of wound defects by transposition of locoregional perforator flaps. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 72 cases of reconstruction by means of locoregional perforator flaps with vascular pedicle detachment to determine the efficiency of preoperative diagnostic preparation with the help of multidetector-row computed tomographic angiography (MDCT) in the process of reconstruction. Thirty-seven individual cases of surgical interventions were chosen using a case-controlled study from the study group when MDCT with angiography was used for preoperative planning of perforator flaps, as well as 35 control cases similar in terms of important predictive peculiarities with the reconstruction at the same level of difficulty. The patient groups were precisely matched by gender (P = .950), age (P = .804), flap area (P = .192), and type of reconstruction that was performed. Results: In all cases, the location of the perforator with a diameter greater than 1.0 mm was marked. All perforators determined during MDCT scanning were faultlessly localized intraoperatively. The distance between the intraoperative position of the perforator and the position obtained in the result of the examination did not exceed 1 cm. There was no need to change the planned design of the flap intraoperatively. In all cases where MDCT was performed, the duration of the surgical procedure varied from 60 to 150 minutes (average: 120.77 [18.90] minutes) and was reduced by 49.40 minutes (95% CI: 39.17-59.63) compared with the patients who did not undergo preoperative visualization of perforators where the average duration of the operation was 170.17 (19.19) minutes (from 140 to 220 minutes). Among the patients examined by MDCT, surgical complications were noted in 5 cases (13.51%) compared to 14 cases (40.00%) in the control group. Conclusions: The preoperative MDCT for the locoregional perforator flap reconstruction makes it possible to increase the efficiency of patient treatment given the reduction in surgery duration by 49.40 minutes (95% CI: 39.17-59.63) on average and the reduction in the level of postsurgery complications from 40% to 13.5% compared with the group of patients in whom presurgical visualization was not performed (P = .031).

Project description:BackgroundGross dissection is a widespread method for studying animal anatomy, despite being highly destructive and time-consuming. X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be a non-destructive alternative for studying anatomical structures. However, in the past it has been limited to only being able to visualise mineralised tissues. In recent years, morphologists have started to use traditional X-ray contrast agents to allow the visualisation of soft tissue elements in the CT context. The aim of this project is to assess the ability of contrast-enhanced micro-CT (μCT) to construct a three-dimensional (3D) model of the musculoskeletal system of the bird wing and to quantify muscle geometry and any systematic changes due to shrinkage. We expect that this reconstruction can be used as an anatomical guide to the sparrowhawk wing musculature and form the basis of further biomechanical analysis of flight.MethodsA 3% iodine-buffered formalin solution with a 25-day staining period was used to visualise the wing myology of the sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus). μCT scans of the wing were taken over the staining period until full penetration of the forelimb musculature by iodine was reached. A 3D model was reconstructed by manually segmenting out the individual elements of the avian wing using 3D visualisation software.ResultsDifferent patterns of contrast were observed over the duration of the staining treatment with the best results occurring after 25 days of staining. Staining made it possible to visualise and identify different elements of the soft tissue of the wing. Finally, a 3D reconstruction of the musculoskeletal system of the sparrowhawk wing is presented and numerical data of muscle geometry is compared to values obtained by dissection.DiscussionContrast-enhanced μCT allows the visualisation and identification of the wing myology of birds, including the smaller muscles in the hand, and provides a non-destructive way for quantifying muscle volume with an accuracy of 96.2%. By combining contrast-enhanced μCT with 3D visualisation techniques, it is possible to study the individual muscles of the forelimb in their original position and 3D design, which can be the basis of further biomechanical analysis. Because the stain can be washed out post analysis, this technique provides a means of obtaining quantitative muscle data from museum specimens non-destructively.
