The dangers of laparoscopy are little understood and the intensity of the light used can be high. To protect against phototoxic injury, we inserted an OG 530 filter in the video track. This filter blocks wavelengths below 470 nm. Three cholecystectomies and one sigmoidectomies were performed laparoscopically. The procedures were uneventful, and the patients suffered no adverse reactions, including phototoxic symptoms. The filter had a moderate influence on color perception and caused no significant restrictions on working conditions.

Aim To examine the feasibility of preventing catheter tip malposition during PICC placement using an ultrasound-guided finger-pressure method to block the internal jugular vein. Material and methods We conducted a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) at a tertiary public hospital in Hubei province, China. A total of 600 patients were recruited and randomly allocated to the ultrasound-guided finger compression method (UGFCM) and traditional partial head method (TPHM) group (n = 300/group). Incidence of catheter tip malposition was assessed as the primary outcome of the study. A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China-National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedicine Database and performed publication bias and sensitivity analyses on 10 extracted studies. Results There were no significant differences in baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups (p > 0.05). Overall incidence of catheter tip malposition was significantly lower in the UGFCM and TPHM group (1.67% vs. 10.3%) and particularly the incidence of malposition in the internal jugular vein (1% vs. 9%). In the meta-analysis of 10 eligible studies, with 1263 cases using the UGFCM method while 1261 adopted the TPHM method, the results showed that the incidence of catheter tip malposition was significantly lower in the group using the UGFCM method (OR = 0.17, 95% CI: 0.11–0.27, p < 0.01), which is in line with the results of our RCT study. Conclusions This study may add valuable evidence on adopting the finger-pressure method for blocking neck veins to reduce the incidence of catheter tip malposition, particularly in the internal jugular vein.","PeriodicalId":49361,"journal":{"name":"Videosurgery and Other Miniinvasive Techniques","volume":"17 1","pages":"289 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44638927","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}

Material and methods We analyzed patients qualified for SASI bypass between January 2020 and February 2021. Retrospective analysis was performed and outpatient treatment results were evaluated. Results A group of nineteen patients (18 women) underwent SASI bypass. The mean preoperative body mass index was 40.3 ±3.74 kg/m2, mean age: 43.3 ±7.83. The mean excess weight loss (% EWL) after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of follow-up was 43%, 56%, 72.5%, 88.83% respectively. Remission of obesity related diseases was as followed: hypertension in 8 patients (80%, p < 0.05), type II diabetes in 6 patients (100%, p < 0.05), pre-diabetes in 4 patients (50%, p = 0.13). Complications occurred in 4 cases: hematemesis, dysphagia, diarrhea, short bowel syndrome. A patient who developed symptoms of short bowel syndrome was reoperated on and gastrointestinal anastomosis was disconnected.

Material and methods The data of 201patients who underwent cholecystectomy from 1 January 2018 to 10 November 2019 were analysed retrospectively.

Nevertheless, the frequency of revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) is increasing. Therefore, investigating this group of patients appears to be currently valid.

Material and methods This multicenter study included a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database. Outcomes included an analysis of the indications for RBS, the type of surgery most frequently chosen as RBS and the course of the perioperative period of treatment among patients undergoing RBS. Results The group consisted of 799 patients (624 (78.1%) women, 175 (21.9%) men). The mean age was 38.96 ±9.72 years. Recurrence of obesity was the most common indication for RBS. The most frequently performed RBS procedures were one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) – 294 (36.8%) patients, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) – 289 (36.17%) patients and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) – 172 (21.52%) patients.
