Abstract Background Women with SUI often require combined pelvic reconstructive surgery because of sharing risk factors of pelvic relaxation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Burch colposuspension, the transobturator tape (TOT), and single incision needleless (DynaMesh®- SIS minor) procedures in patients with SUI who also underwent combined pelvic reconstructive surgery or hysterectomy. Methods We carried out a prospective cohort study that included 142 patients who underwent Burch colposuspension (n:43), TOT(n:40), or SIS(n:39) procedures combined pelvic reconstructive surgery or hysterectomy between January 2010 and July 2018. During clinical follow-up, objective cure, subjective cure, failure and surgical success rates were analyzed. Quality of life and symptom severity were assessed by IIQ-7, UDI-6, OAB-V8, SSI, SSQ-8 and PGI-I. Primary outcome was surgical success which was defined when any of the objective cure, subjective cure or improvement has achieved and secondary outcomes were; intraoperative bladder injury, sling extrusion, de novo urgency, voiding dysfunction, length of hospital stay, and outcomes of patient reported quality of life questionnaires. Results Surgical success rate were higher in Burch group than SIS group and also higher in TOT group than SIS group (88,4% vs 61,5% and 87,5% vs 61,5% respectively, p=0,003) Urinary incontinence complaints were higher and quality of life were lower in in SIS group when compared with Burch group. No difference was seen in between Burch and TOT groups, and TOT and SIS groups in terms of IIQ-7, UDI-6, OAB-V8, SSI, and SSQ-8 scores. Conclusions Both Burch and TOT were safe and effective procedures in patients with SUI who required additional pelvic surgeries. Although surgical outcome of SIS procedure in SUI patients that had concomitant pelvic surgeries in our study was not promising, the data are not clear and further randomized studies are needed to clarify these observations.

Abstract Background : Women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) often require combined pelvic reconstructive surgeries because of shared risk factors of pelvic relaxation. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacies of Burch colposuspension, the transobturator tape (TOT), and single-incision needleless (DynaMesh®- SIS minor) procedures in patients with SUI who also underwent combined pelvic reconstructive surgery or hysterectomy. Methods: We carried out this prospective cohort study that comprising 142 patients who either underwent Burch colposuspension (n:43), TOT(n:40), or SIS(n:39) procedures along with pelvic reconstructive surgery or hysterectomy between January 2010 and July 2018. During the clinical follow-up, we analyzed the objective and subjective cure rates, improvement rates, along with failure and surgical success rates of SUI surgery. We assessed quality of life and symptom severity by Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Sandvik Severity Index (SSI), Surgical Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ-8), Overactive Bladder Questionnaire V8 (OAB-V8), and Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale scores. The primary outcome was surgical success, which was established when there was an improvement in patients or when the patients achieved objective or subjective cure, whereas secondary outcomes included intraoperative bladder injury, sling extrusion, de novo urgency, voiding dysfunction, length of hospital stay, and patient-reported outcomes in the quality of life questionnaires. Results: Surgical success rates were higher in Burch group than SIS group and also higher in TOT group than in SIS group (88.4% vs 61.5% and 87.5% vs 61.5% respectively, p=0.003) The complaints of urinary incontinence were higher and quality of life was lower in the SIS group than in the Burch group. In terms of IIQ-7, UDI-6, OAB-V8, SSI, and SSQ-8 scores, no difference was observed between Burch and TOT groups, and TOT and SIS groups. Conclusions: Both Burch and TOT are safe and effective procedures in patients with SUI who require additional pelvic surgeries. Although the surgical outcomes of SIS procedure in patients with SUI who underwent concomitant pelvic surgeries in our study were not promising, further randomized studies are needed to clarify these observations due to unclear data.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and the effects on quality of life of transobturator tape surgery during a 2-year follow-up period in our clinics. Methods: Eighty-seven patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence who underwent transobturator tape surgery were included in the study conducted in Istanbul. Taksim. Training. and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, between 2011 and 2013. The patients’ demographic features, incontinence questionnaires, quality of life scores [Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and urinary distress inventories (UDI-6)], examination findings, urodynamic results, stress tests, Q tip tests, number of daily pads, ultrasonography, surgery, and cystoscopy results were recorded. Patients were evaluated 23-27 months (mean: 25.40±1.31 months) after their discharge in terms of symptoms, quality of life scores, urodynamic findings, complications, and stress test. Results: Sixty-three (72.4%) patients had stress incontinence and 24 (27.6%) patients had mixed urinary incontinence. No perioperative complications were observed in our study. After a follow-up period of two years, a significant improvement was detected in the IIQ-7 and UDI-6 questionnaires when compared with the preoperative period. Moreover, the objective cure rate was found as 88.5% (n=77). De novo urge incontinence was obtained in 5.7% (n=5) of patients and was treated with anticholinergics. Perineal pain was present in 3 (3.44%) patients and was treated with analgesics and cold packs. In 2 (2.29%) patients, vaginal mesh erosion was detected and full recovery was achieved with an excision. Urinary retention and bladder perforation was not seen in any patients. Conclusion: Our study revealed a high objective cure rate, and an improvement in symptoms and quality of life with the transobturator tape operation. How to cite this:Sik BA, Copur H, Yilda Arzu ABA.

Background: Breast plastic surgery is a rapidly evolving field of medicine. The modern view of surgical trends reflects the desire to minimize complications and introduce advanced technologies. These always will be priorities for surgeons. Reconstructive surgery, a branch of plastic surgery focusing on restoration of lost functional and aesthetic component, seeks to enhance psychological rehabilitation and improves the quality of life, as well as aesthetic recovery. Objective: This review addresses the action of fibrin agents and their effect on the quality of surgical hemostasis. Discussion and Conclusion: The fundamental goals for the surgeon are to perform a minimally traumatic intervention and to prevent any form of complication. Achieving complete hemostasis is an intraoperative necessity. Timely prevention of bleeding and hemorrhagic phenomena can affect not only the outcome of the operation, but also the incidence of postoperative complications. Topics include the integrity of microvascular anastomoses, tissue adhesion, and the incidence of seromas and hematomas associated with fibrin glue usage. The literature on fibrin adhesives with respect to prevention of postoperative complications, and the effectiveness with active drainage also are analyzed.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the functional outcomes, satisfaction, and quality of life of patients with microtia following reconstructive surgery. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data of patients with microtia following reconstructive surgery using the Nagata technique. Data were obtained from the medical records of patients who underwent reconstructive surgery at the Division of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between 2014 and 2018. All eligible patients were referred to participate in this study between November 2018 and March 2019. The hearing function was assessed by a professional audiologist after surgery. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by interview using a previously developed questionnaire, while quality of life was assessed using the EuroQol-5D-Young questionnaire. Results Thirty-one eligible subjects were included in the study. Pain and discomfort were the most commonly reported factors related to the quality of life following surgery. Approximately 67.7% of the patients were satisfied; 19.4% were very satisfied, and 12.9% reported acceptance of their surgical outcomes. The most common complication was infection (n = 8). Most patients did not experience any problems in their lives after microtia surgery. Conclusions The highest rate of satisfactory outcomes was observed for the lobule subunit, which was assumed to be associated with the use of the Z-plasty technique. The most common complication was infection, as environmental hygiene was the most important factor. Thus, further concern for maintaining good hygiene is necessary to improve the quality of reconstructive surgery. The level of satisfaction with microtia reconstructive surgery was adequate. Most patients had a good health-related quality of life without experiencing any problems.

AbstractIntroduction:Severe hand trauma, leading to extensive skeletal and tissue defects, requires plastic surgical reconstruction of the highest level aiming at maximizing function and aesthetics. The intention of this study was to investigate clinical parameters and resource consumption connected with severe hand injuries, with specific emphasis on a follow-up evaluation of quality of life after the reconstruction process.Materials and methods:In this retrospective study, we evaluated patients with severe hand injuries from 2013 to 2016 who had completed surgical and non-surgical treatment. Measures included total period of therapy (TPT) in days, total duration of operations including anesthesia (TOA), total duration of all operations (TO), and total number of operations (TNO). We also determined total inpatient stay (TIS), total number of clinic presentations with interventions (TNPI), initial hand injury severity score (iHISS), and inpatient proceeds (IPP) in Euros (€). Correlation was assessed between iHISS and TOA, TNO, and TIS. Finally, these patients were reexamined in a follow-up inquiry and the life quality was assessed with the five-level version of the EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) descriptive system (EQ-5D-5L).Results:We analyzed 12 patients with an average age of 44 years (min. 24 years, max. 75 years). Patients receiving reconstructive surgery experienced median (${\rm{\tilde x}}$) TPT of 175 days [interquartile range (IQR), 51–499], TOA of 13 h (IQR, 6–37), TO of 9 h (IQR, 4–25), and TNO of 5 (IQR, 3–11). Further, the patients’ median TIS was 22 days (IQR, 9–86), TNPI was 4 (IQR, 2–8), and iHISS was 77 (IQR, 44–162). The median IPP was 14.595 € (IQR, 5.541–33.709 €). IHISS was positively correlated with Pearson’s r for TIS (0.817), TOA (0.857), and TNO (0.871). The EQ-5D-5L index value resulted in a high level of life quality with a median of 0.898 (min. 0.8, max. 1).Conclusion:Severe hand injuries are related to high efforts for surgical and functional reconstructions, which result in high quality of life measured with the EQ-5D-5L assessment. However, for a defined collective of patients, myoelectric prosthetic functional replacement should be considered. Further studies are necessary to examine functional outcomes and quality of life after bionic prosthetic replacement. Also, a bionic reconstruction score to define hard criteria for taking an acute treatment decision is necessary.
