Distended Abdomen

An acute sigmoid volvulus is due to the torsion of the sigmoid colon around its mesenteric axis. It mainly occurs in elderly patients and represents an abdominal emergency requiring urgent treatment. A 53-year-old male patient with severe craniocerebral injury and traumatic subarachnoidal bleeding 3 weeks prior presented on the ward with distended abdomen without abdominal pain, muscular defense, or resistances. He featured large volume diarrhea within the last few hours without signs of bleeding. A plain abdominal X-ray demonstrated a coffee bean sign indicating a sigmoid volvulus. A consequent CT scan of the abdomen revealed a deep outlet obstruction with massively dilated, elongated and twisted loop of the sigmoid colon and no signs of perforation. We performed emergency colonoscopy under the assumption of an acute sigmoid volvulus. After careful insertion of the endoscope completely refraining from insufflation of air or CO2, endoscopic reposition of the sigma could be achieved and a colonic drainage was placed over an inserted guide wire up to the proximal transverse colon. No relapse occurred and a diagnostic colonoscopy after 4 weeks revealed no tumor or polyps. Our report describes a classic case of acute sigmoid volvulus and undermines the potential of colonoscopy as conservative primary treatment of choice.

Hip Screw

The internal fixation of proximal femoral (hip) fractures is the most frequently performed orthopaedic surgery procedure. When using a sliding compression hip screw, a commonly used fixation device, accurate positioning of the device within the femoral neck-head is achieved by initially drilling a pilot hole. A cannulated component of the hip screw is then inserted over the guide wire (surgical drill bit), which is used to drill the pilot hole. However, in practice, this fluoroscopically controlled drilling process is severely complicated by a depth perception problem and, as such, a surgeon can require several attempts to achieve a satisfactory guide wire placement. A prototype robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery system has therefore been developed, with a view to achieving accurate right-first-time guide wire insertions. This paper describes the non-invasive digital X-ray photogrammetry-based registration technique which supports the proposed robotic-assisted drilling scenario. Results from preliminary laboratory (in vitro) trials employing this registration technique indicate that the cumulative error associated with the entire X-ray guided robotic system is within acceptable limits for the guide wire insertion process.

Study Design: Retrospective database study. Objectives: To compare the accuracy and safety of 2 types of a computer-assisted navigation system for percutaneous pedicle screw placement during endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion. Methods: From May 2019 to January 2020, data of 56 patients who underwent Endo-LIF with a robot-assisted system and with an electromagnetic navigation system were compared. The pedicles in all patients were subjected to postoperative CT scan to assess screw correction by measuring the perpendicular distance between the pedicle cortical wall and the screw surface. The registration and matching time, guide-wire insertion time, the entire surgery time, and X-ray exposure time were recorded. Results: In the robot-assisted group, 25 cases with 100 percutaneous pedicle screws were included, and the excellent and good rate was 95%. In the electromagnetic navigation group, 31 cases with 124 screws were included, and the excellent rate was 97.6%. There was no statistical difference between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The registration time and the total time for the surgery also showed no statistical differences ( P > 0.05). The main difference between the two groups was the guide-wire insertion time and the X-ray exposure time ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Both electromagnetic navigation and robot-assisted are safe and efficient for percutaneous pedicle screw placement. Electromagnetic navigation system has obvious advantages over robot-assisted in terms of faster guide-wire placement and less X-ray exposure. Robot-assisted for percutaneous pedicle screw placement offers a preoperative planning system and a stable registration system, with obvious drawbacks of a strict training curve.

Objective: The aim of this study is to calculate the prevalence of left plueral effusion in acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Study Design: Observational/ case series Place and Duration: Conducted at surgery department of Saidu Teaching Hospital, Swat and Ibne Sina Hospital and Research Institute, Multan for duration of six months from January 2021 to June 2021. Methods: A total of 95 patients, both males and females, ranging in age from 15 to 65 years, were presented. After receiving informed written consent, the baseline comprehensive demographics of the patients presented were recorded, including age, gender, and body mass index. Patients with acute pancreatitis and serum amylase levels greater than 300U/dL were eligible to participate. Patients were subjected to X-ray and CT scans in their entirety. Prevalence of necrotizing pancreatitis was calculated by CT scan and for left plueral effusion X-ray of chest was taken. SPSS 24.0 version was used to analyze complete data. Results: Majority of the patients 65 (68.4%) were females and 30 (31.6%) were males with mean age 39.14+5.67 years. 26 (27.4%) cases had BMI less than 20kg/m2 and the majority were >20kg/m2. Gallstone was the most common cause of acute pancreatitis found in 45 (47.4%) cases, followed by alcoholism 25 (26.3%) and medications 12 (12.6%). Among 95 cases, prevalence of necrotizing pancreatitis was 42 (44.2%) in which 40 cases had left plueral effusion. Mortality rate among necrotizing pancreatitis was 13 (33.3%). Conclusion: We found that the majority of individuals with necrotizing pancreatitis experienced pleural effusion on the left side. Thus, patients with acute pancreatitis who have a high serum amylase level must be treated earlier if they have a left pleural effusion because of severity.

Tip Position

AbstractC-arms are medical devices widely used for image-guided minimally invasive endovascular procedures. This technology requires considerable experience for the physicians to position the C-arm to obtain X-ray images of the endovascular tools. In addition, this image-guided therapy is based on two-dimensional images which lack depth information. The purpose of this study was to develop a system that controls the C-arm movements based on the previous position of the tip of a guide wire and the vessel information, and also displays the estimated tip position (specifically, the virtual line that would join the X-ray source and the projected tip in the flat-panel detector) on an augmented reality device (HoloLens). A phantom study was conducted to evaluate the system using intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography scans to obtain the reference tip position. The mean distance between the tip position (ground truth) and the virtual three-dimensional line was 1.18 mm. The proposed system was able to control the C-arm movements based on the position of the tip of the guide wire. The visualization on HoloLens also allowed a more intuitive understanding of the position of the endovascular tool related to the patient’s anatomy during the intervention.
