Abstract Aim “A new original laparoscopic operative technique was used to suture paraesophageal hernia (PEH) with the strips of mesh. Material and Methods The Mercilen (MercilenTM) mesh suture was used to close large hiatal hernia. The strips of mesh, instead of normal thread, were applied to close the gap between diaphragm’s crura in 12 patients with hernia defect more than 5 cm. Mesh suture were tighten as a simple laparoscopic intracorporeal knot. The surgical technique and surgical outcomes are presented. Results 12 patients underwent a laparoscopic PEH suturing with Mercilen strips of mesh. We recorded no recurrence or dysphagia at 6 and 12 months follow-up. Conclusions Mesh-sutured repairs of diaphragm’s hernia support the concepts of force distribution and resistance to suture pull through. The new original technique avoids using the sheet of mesh and enables to reduce the amount of dangerous complications connected with mesh and its fixation. Mesh-sutured closures of hiatal hernias seem to be safe and effective in tension closure of large hiatal defects. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the results. Using the mesh suture technique for the closure of large PEH, we protect the cruras from being cutting through. Besides, the mesh stripes and its knots produce tissue scarring around the esophagus making the suture line stronger.

Abstract Background Laparoscopic large para-oesophageal hiatal hernia (LPHH) repair using mesh reinforcement significantly reduces postoperative recurrence rates compared to conventional suture repair, especially within short follow-up times. However, the ideal strategy for repairing LPHH remains disputable because no clear guidelines are given regarding indications, mesh type, shape or position. The aim of this study was to survey our short-term results of LPHH management with a biosynthetic monofilament polypropylene mesh coated with titanium dioxide to enhance biocompatibility (TiO2Mesh™). Methods A retrospective study was performed at Ramon y Cajal University Hospital, Spain from December 2014 to October 2018. Data were collected on 27 consecutive patients with extensive hiatal hernia defects greater than 5 cm for which a laparoscopic repair was performed by primary suture and additional reinforcement with a TiO2Mesh™. Study outcomes were investigated, including clinical and radiological recurrences, dysphagia and mesh-related drawbacks. Results Twenty-seven patients were included in our analysis; 10 patients were male, and 17 were female. The mean age was 73 years (range, 63–79 years). All operations were performed laparoscopically. The median postoperative hospital stay was 3 days. After a mean follow-up of 18 months (range, 8-29 months), only 3 patients developed clinical recurrence of reflux symptoms (11%), and 2 had radiological recurrences (7%). No mesh-related complications occurred. Conclusions TiO2Mesh™ was found to be safe for laparoscopic repair of LPHH with a fairly low recurrence rate in this short-term study. Long-term studies conducted over a period of years with large sample sizes will be essential for confirming whether this mesh is suitable as a standard method of care with few drawbacks.

Background -Tibial spine avulsion fracture is bony avulsions of anterior cruciate Ligament (ACL) from its attachment on the anteromedial portion of the intercondylartibial eminence. If not treated well, Tibial spine fractures can lead to non-union or malunion, which can lead to signicant disability in the form of exion deformity,loss of extension, or instability. Aims And Objectives: This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating clinical outcome of arthroscopic reduction and xation of fractures by pull through suture technique and complications associated with the procedure. Thi Material And Method: s prospective with retrospective study analyzed 20 patients (16 males and 4 females), with mean age of 28.6 ± 9.8 years (range, 15-55). Patients were classied by Meyers and Mckeever type III (n=16) and IV (n=4) and were operated arthroscopically by pull through suture technique. They were followed over a mean period of 10±2.8 months. Postoperative assessment was done by using Lachman test, Lysholm knee score and international knee documentation Committee (IKDC) score. Objective assessment of anterior translation of tibia was done by using indigenously developed device named Laxometer. At the end of follow up,17 of 20 patient had no or minimal anterior transl Results: ation of tibia by Lachman test. The mean preoperative Lysholm score in 20 knees was 38 (range 29 to 55) and mean post-operative Lysholm score was 96 (range 83-100). At the end of follow up 17 of 20 (85%) patients accessed by IKDC score were normal/ nearly normal grade A/B and 3 patients were abnormal (grade C). All patients achieved union within 3 months (range 8 to 17 weeks). 20% patients had restricted range of motion. Arthroscopic pull Conclusion: through suture technique has good clinical outcomes in both type III and type IV fractures, and in all age groups (open and closed physis) with minimal complications. This was evidenced by no instability and residual ACL deciency, postoperatively at 1 year. Most patients have excellent recovery with full return of knee range of motion.

AbstractRobotic surgery offers three-dimensional visualization and precision of movement that could be of great value to gastrointestinal surgeons. There were many previous reports on robotic technology in performing Soave colonic resection and pull-through for Hirschsprung’s disease in children. This study described the follow-up of the Robotic-assisted Soave procedure for Hirschsprung’s disease in children. Robotic-assisted endorectal pull-through was performed using three robotic arms and an additional 5-mm trocar. The ganglionic and aganglionic segments were initially identified by seromuscular biopsies. The rest of the procedure was carried out according to the Soave procedure. We left a short rectal seromuscular sleeve of 1.5–2 cm above the dentate line. From December 2014 to December 2017, 55 pediatric patients were operated on. Age ranged from 6 months to 10 years old (median = 24.5 months). The aganglionic segment was located in the rectum (n = 38), the sigmoid colon (n = 13), and the left colon (n = 4). The mean total operative time was 93.2 ± 35 min (ranging from 80 to 180 min). Minimal blood was lost during the surgery. During the follow-up period, 41 patients (74.6%) had 1–2 defecations per day, 12 patients (21.8%) had 3–4 defecations per day, and 2 patients (3.6%) had more than 4 defecations per day. Fecal incontinence, enterocolitis, and mild soiling occurred in three (5.4%), four (7.3%), and two pediatric patients, respectively. Robotic-assisted Soave procedure for Hirschsprung’s disease in children is a safe and effective technique. However, a skilled robotic surgical team and procedural modifications are needed.

Introduction After extensive mediastinal dissection fails to achieve adequate intra-abdominal esophageal length, a Collis gastroplasty(CG) is recommended to decrease axial tension and reduce hiatal hernia recurrence. However, concerns exist about staple line leak, and long-term symptoms of heartburn and dysphagia due to the acid-producing neoesophagus which lacks peristaltic activity. This study aimed to assess long-term satisfaction and GERD-related quality of life after robotic fundoplication with CG (wedge fundectomy technique) and to compare outcomes to patients who underwent fundoplication without CG. Outcomes studied included patient satisfaction, resumption of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), length of surgery (LOS), hospital stay, and reintervention. Methods This was a single-center retrospective analysis of patients from January 2017 through December 2018 undergoing elective robotic hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication. 61 patients were contacted for follow-up, of which 20 responded. Of those 20 patients, 7 had a CG performed during surgery while 13 did not. There was no significant difference in size and type of hiatal hernias in the 2 groups. These patients agreed to give their feedback via a GERD health-related quality of life (GERD HRQL) questionnaire. Their medical records were reviewed for LOS, length of hospital stay (LOH), and reintervention needed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v 25. Satisfaction and need for PPIs were compared between the treatment and control groups using the chi-square test of independence. Results Statistical analysis showed that satisfaction with outcome and PPI resumption was not significantly different between both groups ( P > .05). There was a significant difference in the average ranks between the 2 groups for the question on postoperative dysphagia on the follow-up GERD HRQL questionnaire, with the group with CG reporting no dysphagia. There were no significant differences in the average ranks between the 2 groups for the remaining 15 questions ( P > .05). The median LOS was longer in patients who had a CG compared to patients who did not (250 vs. 148 min) ( P = .01). The LOH stay was not significantly different ( P > .05) with a median length of stay of 2 days observed in both groups. There were no leaks in the Collis group and no reoperations, conversions, or blood transfusions needed in either group. Conclusion Collis gastroplasty is a safe option to utilize for short esophagus noted despite extensive mediastinal mobilization and does not adversely affect the LOH stay, need for reoperation, or patient long-term satisfaction.

Complications following fundoplication surgery for hiatal hernias are rare. Herein, we present the case of a 61-year-old woman who underwent a Nissen fundoplication, complicated by dysphagia, and a revision modified Toupet fundoplication for a hiatal hernia, after which she began to experience severe prandial referred left shoulder pain that was refractory to medical management. We hypothesized that a diaphragmatic suture placed during the revision fundoplication could be the source of the pain, and we elected to remove the suture, resulting in resolution of the pain. This pain remained resolved at the most recent follow-up on postoperative week six, and the patient had no further concerns.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic Fundoplication (LF) as a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has positive clinical outcomes. However, postoperative dysphagia (PD) may appear as a side effect. Our objective is to analyze PD in patients operated on for LF in our center. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective and descriptive study of patients operated on for GERD from September 1997 to February 2019. RESULTS 248 patients (60.5% men), with a mean age of 49.7 (21-82), were operated. 66.1% of the patients presented associated comorbidities, highlighting obesity (19.8%). 75% manifested typical symptoms, 19% presenting with Barrett’s esophagus. Sliding hiatal, paraesophageal, mixed and complex hernia were diagnosed in 151 (60.9%), 23 (9.3%), 12 (4.8%), and 4 (1.6%) patients, respectively. The LF Nissen was the most frequent technique (91.5%), using a caliper in 46% of the cases. PD was the most frequent symptom, present in 57 (23%) patients. It was resolved with dilation in 9 patients, requiring 6 patients surgical reintervention. In those PD cases, a caliper was used in 28 (49.1%) patients, without finding significant differences between them (P = .586). Nor were there significant differences between PD and obesity (P = .510), type of hiatal hernia (P = .326), or surgical technique (P = .428). After a median follow-up of 50.5 months, quality of life was classified as Visick I-II, III, and IV in 76.6%, 6.9% and 1.2% of the cases, respectively. CONCLUSION No association between PD and the use of calipers, surgical technique or type of hiatal hernia was found in our series.

Established Technique

The long posterior flap technique is an established technique for trans-tibial amputation in ischaemic limbs. Despite its success, it has a few drawbacks. It may be time-consuming and requires considerable planning, and at times the dog-ears cannot be avoided. The suture line passes over the distal end of the stump, which is usually a problem during prosthetic use. The skew flap technique retains the advantages of the long posterior flap technique and eliminates the difficulties of prosthetic fitting. The equal skin flaps are skewed so that the flaps become anteromedial and posterolateral, whereas the calf muscle flap remains long underneath the skewed skin flaps. The posterior muscles are brought anteriorly covering the cut ends of the bones and are buried in between the tibia and its anterior periosteum, by suturing their margins with the periosteum. The skew flap procedure was perceived in 1980 and was started at the Artificial Limb Centre, Pune in 1983 by the author. This procedure underwent many changes during the initial 5 years and by the end of April 1992, 85 trans-tibial amputations were performed using this technique. A 9-year follow-up of these patients, who had been using prostheses with ease and without any discomfort or problem, had been exceptionally good. Encouraged by the results, this technique is now being practised as routinely. By March 1998, a total of 125 such trans-tibial amputations had been performed in 119 patients, with excellent results.

Background: The aim of this study is to describe the diagnostic evaluation and treatment in patients with complicated paraesophageal hernia (PEH) and distal gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction. Methods: Three cases with known PEH in the Department of Surgery of the General Hospital of Nea Ionia ‘’Constantopoulion-Patission’’, I woman 78 yrs, II man 88 and III man 78, underwent emergent open surgery for complicated PEH and GI obstruction. Cardiorespiratory distress in all and sepsis in I, were encountered. Case I had coexistent incarcerated abdominal hernia, II had a prepyloric lesion revealed by gastroscopy and III chronic constipation. X-rays and CT scan helped diagnosis. Operative findings: In case I, we found viable incarcerated bowel, gastric fundus and body strangulated in mediastinum, fundus ruptured, and antrum ischemic; total gastrectomy with esophageal and duodenal stapling were performed. In case II, the stomach with an obstructive prepyloric lesion was volvulized in mediastinum; distal gastrectomy, gastrojejunostomy, cruroraphy and fundopexy were performed. In case III, strangulation of the dolichosigmoid was the prominent feature, moreover, incarceration of gastric fundus and transverse colon in PEH sac were also found; reduction of PEH contents, limited resection of thick congenital bands, extended left colectomy, cruroraphy, fundopexy and caecopexy were performed. Results: Case I and II were transferred intubated to ICU. Case I was never stabilized, died after 50 hours; histology confirmed gastric necrosis. Case II was extubated on day 4, discharged on day 28; histology revealed antral ischemia and prepyloric pT2 adenocarcinoma. Case III had uneventful outcome; histology revealed dolichosigmoid ischemia. Follow-up of cases II and III (32 and 30 months respectively) has been uneventful. Conclusion: Obstructive conditions distal to large PEHs may lead to acute complications in hernia contents and emergent surgery is challenging. Obstructive conditions distal to large PEHs may lead to acute complications in hernia contents and emergent surgery is challenging.

Excessive facial skin folds is observed in several breeds of dogs and the weight exerted on the eyelids accents or promotes entropion, trichiasis and ptosis. Thus, this study reported a case of the 8-months-old male Shar-pei weighting 21.5kg was presented with an obstructed visual axis, eye discharge, fetid odor in facial folds around the jaw and the neck. It was indicated the surgical resection of the folds and correction of the upper and lower entropion. In this case, the association of Hotz-Celsus technique with rhytidectomy shaped in semiarchs, using the anchoring points with the modified walking suture, was effective in correcting the entropion and unblocking the visual axis with minimal scarring and preservation of the breed standard in 12 months follow up after surgery.
