There is no long-term follow-up data on patients after CM resection in Germany. We aimed to determine the long-term outcome of our patients with a duration of follow-up >10 years and focused on long-term sequelae and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods All patients who had undergone CM-resection in our department from 01/1978 to 06/2009 were contacted. Patients were interviewed about postoperative complications and their present medical attendance. HRQOL was determined using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedsQL), version for adults. The PedsQL scales the HRQOL from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better HRQOL. Scores were compared to those published for a healthy population. Results Out of 56 patients who were contacted, 23 (41 %) participated. The median age at time of surgery was 3.1 years (6 days–16.1 years) and at time of the survey 24.3 years (11.1–53.8 years). Eighteen patients (78 %) had ceased their gastroenterologic follow-up at a median time of 4.3 years after surgery. Five (22 %) were still in gastroenterologic follow-up, two of these had an uneventful clinical course, and three (13 %) had ongoing complications attributed to the CM. One of these had undergone hemihepatectomy 34 years postoperatively due to bile duct stenosis, one had undergone removal of bile duct stones 14 years postoperatively, and one suffered from portal vein thrombosis with esophageal and jejunal varices. There was no mortality in our series. Median total HRQOL score was 89. There was no significant difference in the median total health, physical health, and psychosocial health scores of our patients in comparison to the healthy population. Conclusions We confirmed that the majority of patients after CM resection are lost to follow-up. Those who answered our questionnaire showed a good HRQOL. Given the high rate of severe long-term complications and the life-long risk of malignancy, we recommend a transition program for all patients.","PeriodicalId":44186,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Surgical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141342457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurate assessment of burn depth by clinical judgment is challenging. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides structural images of the skin and can detect blood flow within the papillary plexus. In this study, we determined the depth of the capillary network in healthy and thermally injured skin and compared it with clinical assessment. Methods In 25 children between 7 months and 15 years of age (mean age 3.5 years (SD±4.14)) with thermal injuries of the ventral thoracic wall, we determined the depth of the capillary network using OCT. Measurements were performed on healthy skin and at the center of the thermal injury (16 grade IIa, 9 grade IIb). Comparisons were made between healthy skin and thermal injury. Results The capillary network of the papillary plexus in healthy skin was detected at 0.33 mm (SD±0.06) from the surface. In grade IIb injuries, the depth of the capillary network was 0.36 mm (SD±0.06) and in grade IIa injuries 0.23 mm (SD±0.04) (Mann–Whitney U test: p<0.001). The overall prediction accuracy is 84 %. Conclusions OCT can reliably detect and differentiate the depth of the capillary network in both healthy and burned skin. In clinical IIa wounds, the capillary network appears more superficial due to the loss of the epidermis, but it is still present in the upper layer, indicating a good prognosis for spontaneous healing. In clinical grade IIb wounds, the papillary plexus was visualized deeper, which is a sign of impaired blood flow.","PeriodicalId":44186,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Surgical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141353611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multidirectional exchange of virtual three-dimensional patient data via an interdisciplinary platform allows all medical specialists involved in the patients treatment to take full advantage of these technologies. This review article gives an overview of current technologies and future directions regarding treatment approaches that are based on a virtual, three-dimensional patient specific dataset: storage and exchange of spatial information acquired via intraoperative navigation allow for a highly precise frozen section procedure. In the postoperative setting, virtual reconstruction of the tumor resection surface provides the basis for improved radiation therapy planning and virtual reconstruction of the tumor with integration of molecular findings creates a valuable tool for postoperative treatment and follow-up. These refinements of established treatment components and novel approaches have the potential to make a major contribution to improving the outcome in head and neck cancer patients.","PeriodicalId":44186,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Surgical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140658496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fractures of the proximal humerus occur most frequently in older people and are an indicator fracture of osteoporosis. While a large proportion of only slightly displaced fractures can be treated non-operatively, more complex fractures require surgical treatment. The choice of optimal treatment and the decision between joint-preserving surgery by means of osteosynthesis or endoprosthetic treatment is often a difficult decision in which both fracture morphology factors and individual factors should be taken into account. If endoprosthetic treatment is indicated, satisfactory long-term functional and clinical results have been achieved with a reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Injuries to the acromioclavicular joint occur primarily in young, athletic individuals. The common classification according to Rockwood divides the injury into 6 degrees of severity depending on the dislocation. This classification forms the basis for the decision on non-operative or surgical treatment. The indication for surgical treatment for higher-grade injuries is the subject of controversial debate in the latest literature. In chronic injuries, an autologous tendon transplant is also performed. Whereas in the past, treatment was often carried out using a hook plate, which was associated with complications, the gold standard today is minimally invasive treatment using Endobutton systems. This review provides an overview of the two injury patterns and discusses the various treatment options.","PeriodicalId":44186,"journal":{"name":"Innovative Surgical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140713836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
