Recently, several reports described the repair of paraduodenal hernia via laparoscopic surgery with multiple ports. Due to development of the technique and devices for laparoscopic surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been applied to various operations, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and procedures for colorectal cancer. Here, we report treatment of a left paraduodenal hernia via SILS. A 23-year-old man presented with abrupt onset of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography revealed a mass of intestinal loops enveloped by a thin capsule on the left of the abdominal cavity. Blood circulation in the jejunal loops was preserved, and no dilatation of the jejunum was observed. Physical and radiographic examination indicated the possibility of left paraduodenal hernia; we performed paraduodenal hernia repair using SILS. After we confirmed that there was no strangulation or gangrenous change in the bowel on laparoscopic examination, we reduced the incarcerated jejunum loops via an atraumatic method. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 8 days after the operation. This disease affects relatively young patients, rendering this operation attractive from the viewpoint of cosmetic benefits and minimal invasion. Paraduodenal hernia repair via SILS is feasible, safe, and may constitute an alternative method for paraduodenal hernia without necrotic change.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45677230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the prolapsed rectum with the tumor was transected, reconstruction was performed by using a double-stapling technique (DST) or a hand-sewn technique (HST). In the DST, the proximal colon was pulled outside transanally, and the anvil head was inserted into the colon and returned to the abdominal cavity. The anal-side rectum was closed using a linear stapling device, and DST was performed. The HST was modified from intersphincteric resection anastomosis. No patient experienced complications associated with this procedure. Cosmetic satisfaction was achieved. All patients obtained disease-free margins pathologically, and none experienced local recurrence. Intracorporeal anastomosis of totally laparoscopic low anterior resection is difficult via laparoscopic ports only. It can be simplified by operating with anastomosis via the anus.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49108945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only a few cases have been reported of performing coronary artery bypass grafting, and in those cases a successful outcome seems to be an exception. We report a case of a 73-year-old male caucasian patient suffering from frequent daily chest pain and unstable angina with a 75% stenosis of the left main coronary artery and a subocclusion of proximal right coronary artery undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, where despite following all the management algorithms and hematologic and cardiologic guidelines properly during the preoperative workup, the patient had a complex postoperative recovery with thrombosis of native coronary vessels—the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery.

In the case of sub-Saharan Africa, CVD is now a leading cause of premature deaths, with poor health infrastructure and shortage of skilled cardiac healthcare professionals. There is much discussion among members of the cardiac surgical specialty as to how best to address the latter in such countries. Previously, we have proposed that several actions aimed at implementing humanitarian programs to support nonaffording patients in health systems around the world, would be a forward way. However, the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery and its International Committee, on the other hand, does not believe that the best solution is achieved by sending teams to the developing world. Their point of justification is that teamwork is particularly important in cardiac surgery, where the weakest link can determine the ultimate outcomes of surgery. Using this as our starting point, we explored ways of implementing training in local centers partly funded through charitable donations and a public private partnership model. The CardiacEye International Foundation (CEIF; www.cardiaceye.com) team made an exploratory visit to the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya, to explore contacts with government representatives and health ministers and local hospital doctors and administrators. During this visit, CEIF assessed and examined the levels of local experience and knowledge and the available equipment. A project proposal was put forward aiming to expand scope for provision of cardiac surgery services locally to nonaffording patients through collaborative training of specialists depending on the needs. A cardiovascular surgical team was put together made up of a cardiologist, a surgeon, an anesthetist, a perfusionist, a scrub nurse, an intensive care nurse, a respiratory therapist (or both), and a ward nurse where necessary.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71207894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data related to preoperative factors, perioperative factors, and postoperative data were retrospectively collected. Compared with the S-S MCI group, the dosage of vasoactive drugs after surgery, postoperative recovery time, time to cannula removal, and the incidence of POD were significantly decreased in the S-S TCI group (P < 0.05). Overall, POD appeared in 81 patients (16.8%) by postoperative day 3. Multiple regression analysis showed that postoperative blood loss and manually controlled anesthesia were risk factors for POD in spinal surgery patients. Therefore, prophylactic blood transfusion and phenylephrine can reduce the incidence of POD in the presence of postoperative hypotension. Target-controlled anesthesia may improve the quality of anesthesia as well as reduce POD in spinal surgical patients. These results provide clinical evidence for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and management of POD.","PeriodicalId":14474,"journal":{"name":"International surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49425248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
