Abstract

In connection with a report of a case, authors discuss in outline the possibilities of ureter replacement. If both the ureters are injured, they can be substituted with one single segment of the intestine, as it happened in their case. Authors raise the idea that a longer segment of the intestine used for substitution provides sufficient capacity and isoperistaltic function, and this may protect from the negative effects of possible vesicoileal reflux. In this case, the reflux does not spread to the kidneys even if the ureteroileal was not made with anti-reflux technique.

Evaluation of platelet deposition and neointimal hyperplasia of heparin-coated small-caliber ePTFE grafts in a canine femoral artery bypass model.

INTRODUCTION: Bypass graft failure due to acute thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia remains a major challenge in small-diameter vascular prosthetic graft reconstruction. Heparin has been shown to prevent thrombus formation and inhibit intimal antithrombotic in animal studies. In this study, we evaluated the effect of small-caliber heparin-coated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts on platelet deposition and intimal hyperplasia in a canine model of femoral artery bypass grafting. METHODS: Nine adult greyhound dogs underwent placement of bilateral femorofemoral artery bypass grafts with ePTFE grafts (4 mm diameter and 7 cm long). In each animal, a heparin-coated ePTFE graft was placed on one side while a noncoated graft was placed on the contralateral side which served as the control. Platelet deposition was measured by autologous (111)indium-labeling and scintillation camera imaging analysis in 24 h. The graft patency was assessed at 4 weeks following the bypass. The effect of intimal hyperplasia was assessed with histological and morphometric analysis. RESULTS: Platelet deposition on the heparin-coated grafts at 24 h was significantly reduced by 72% as compared to controls (P = 0.001). The patency rate was 44% in control grafts and 89% in heparin-coated grafts. There was a significant reduction of graft intimal hyperplasia at both proximal (0.38 +/- 0.21 mm(2)) and distal (0.19 +/- 0.06 mm(2)) anastomoses in the heparin-coated grafts as compared with proximal (1.01 +/- 0.28 mm(2)) and distal (0.42 +/- 0.01 mm(2)) anastomoses in the untreated control grafts, respectively (P < 0.05). Heparin coating significantly reduced graft neointimal hyperplasia at patent graft anastomoses by 55-72% as compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrate that heparin coating of ePTFE significantly reduced early platelet deposition and inhibited anastomotic neointimal hyperplasia. Moreover, small-caliber heparin-coated ePTFE graft significantly increased graft patency in a canine femoral artery bypass model. This may represent a promising treatment strategy for improving the clinical performance of small-caliber prosthetic vascular grafts.

Effect of Endo-GIA vascular staple size on laparoscopic vessel sealing in a porcine model.

BACKGROUND: Two sizes of endoscopic gastrointestinal anastomosis (Endo-GIA) staples are currently available for vascular control. The purpose of this study was to compare the Endo-GIA 30-2.0 mm with the Endo-GIA 30-2.5 mm vascular staple. METHODS: The renal blood vessels, aorta, and vena cava were divided laparoscopically using the Endo-GIA 30-2.0 and 30-2.5 mm in four pigs, respectively. The arterial and venous segments were harvested en bloc for ex vivo burst pressure studies. RESULTS: Both 2.0-mm and 2.5-mm staples achieved vessel sealing at supraphysiologic mean burst pressures (> or =310 mmHg). There were no statistical differences between mean burst pressures of vessels stapled by 2.0-mm compared to 2.5-mm staples. Both staples sealed arteries up to 17 mm and veins up to 22 mm in diameter. CONCLUSION: Endo-GIA 30-2.0 mm and 30-2.5 mm vascular staples are equivalent in sealing vessels at supraphysiologic mean burst pressures.

Laparoscopic management of surgical complications after a recent laparotomy.

BACKGROUND: The use of laparoscopy in the scarred abdomen is now well established. However, recent laparotomy and the presence of a fresh abdominal wound usually preclude laparoscopic intervention. Thus, early postlaparotomy complications, which mandate surgical interventions, are usually treated by a second laparotomy. We report our experience with the use of laparoscopy for the treatment of postoperative complications, after open abdominal procedures. METHODS: Fourteen patients were operated for a variety of conditions, and postoperative complications, such as bowel obstruction, intraabdominal infection, or anastomotic insufficiency, were handled laparoscopically. RESULTS: Eleven patients recovered from the acute condition. One patient died from sepsis, one retroperitoneal abscess was missed and later drained percutaneously, and one conversion to open surgery was necessary because of adhesions and lack of working space. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that a recent laparotomy is not a contraindication for laparoscopic management of acute abdominal conditions. Postlaparotomy complications can be successfully treated by laparoscopy. Avoiding the reopening of the abdominal wound and a second laparotomy may reduce the additional surgical trauma, and thus result in easier recovery.
