Salivary Bypass Tube is an important tool to prevent or treat some complications of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal surgery and its placement may prove difficult. In this article, we propose a new technique to simplify its management by using an Oral/Nasal Tracheal Tube Cuffed-Reinforced that allowed us to reduce operating times, complications related to prolonged general anesthesia, and the traumas on the tissues incurred during the forced positioning of the device with standard techniques.

✓ In 1976, Fasano, et al., described a new technique of posterior rhizotomy for treatment of spasticity. They stimulated electrically fascicles of the posterior roots in spastic patients and found that some fascicles responded to stimulation with tonic muscle contractions. They cut these fascicles, preserving those with a weaker or no reaction. The present authors have used a fairly similar technique in the treatment of eight patients with spasticity of the legs and one patient with spasticity of the arm: all fascicles of the posterior roots T12-S1 and C6–8, respectively, were stimulated electrically during surgery under general anesthesia. Approximately 60% to 80% of the fascicles responded to stimulation with tonic muscle jerks, and only these fascicles were cut. All nine patients showed a good reduction of spasticity. The residual cutaneous and joint sensation remained unchanged. Motility of the limbs usually improved.

A new jejunostomy tube placement technique is described and compared to traditional methods. The interlocking box technique was compared to a simple purse-string with jejunopexy and an inverting serosal tunnel (Witzel technique) with jejunopexy. Procedures performed in fresh canine cadavers were fluid pressure tested following tube removal. Mean+/-standard deviation (SD) intraluminal pressure necessary to induce leakage at the jejunopexy site of the interlocking box group (87.63+/-40.56 cm H2O) was significantly greater (p less than 0.001) than the simple purse-string (43.17+/-31.69 cm H2O) and serosal tunnel (46.33+/-23.60 cm H2O) groups. Significant differences were not identified between the latter groups. The interlocking box technique resisted leakage following acute removal better than conventional techniques and should be tested clinically.

Percutaneous Insertion

A new percutaneous insertion technique for esophageal feeding tubes in cats is presented. The technique has been successfully applied in 12 feline patients. The placement technique is relatively simple, takes approximately five minutes to perform, and requires a scalpel blade, a curved hemostat, and an applicator for the insertion of the feeding tube. In contrast to other esophageal tube placement techniques, the tube is inserted into the definitive aboral position in a one-step procedure. Because of its shoehorn shape, the applicator allows the tube to be inserted into the esophagus safely and precisely. Placement of the tube in the midcervical area does not interfere with the function of the pharynx and avoids having the animal irritated by the presence of the tube. The chosen diameter of the tube is large enough to permit feeding of diluted, blended, commercial canned food. For the patients of this study, feeding was started after recovery from anesthesia, and tubes were removed without complications once the animals had started to eat voluntarily.

Placement Technique

A new enterostomy tube placement technique is described for provision of nutrients into the duodenum. Placement of the duodenostomy tube (d-tube) is performed through a limited right flank approach under sedation and local anesthesia. Seven client-owned animals (three dogs and four cats) requiring enteral nutritional support were selected for d-tube placement. Patients were fed via the d-tube for two to 28 days. Complications included discomfort when manipulating and exteriorizing the duodenum, discomfort with bolus feedings, local cellulitis, and tube site infection. All complications resolved without further incident. This technique should be considered in patients that are not good candidates for prolonged general anesthesia or esophageal or gastric feeding, or patients being mechanically ventilated.

Abstract In this paper a novel approach for precise localisation of thin oxide breakdowns in transistor or capacitor structures by electron beam absorbed current (EBAC) imaging based on Scanning Electron Microscopy will be presented. The technique significantly improves sensitivity and lateral resolution of short localisation in comparison to standard techniques, e.g. Photoemission Microscopy, and provides direct defect navigation within a combined FIB/SEM system for further cross section analysis. The oxide short is minimal affected by electrical stimulation preserving its original defect structure for further physical root cause analysis. The feasibility of this new technique is demonstrated on a gate oxide (GOX) and two capacitor oxide (COX) breakdown failures.
