Heart surgery is common throughout the world with over 700,000 heart surgeries performed each year. Of those, 250,000 are heart valve repair or replacement surgeries. Traditionally, valve repair and replacement is completed by separating the chest bone and accessing the valve through an opening in the chest wall with a vertical incision running approximately 8-10 inches long. However, over the past two decades, through advances in medicine and patient demand, small incision surgery, sometimes referred to as minimal access surgery is now commonly being used to repair or replace heart valves with as little as a 3-4 inch surgical incision between the ribs.. There are four heart valves that control the flow of blood through a heart. They are called the aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves. The aortic and mitral valves are the two most common valves requiring surgical intervention. Heart valve disease occurs when one or more of the four heart valves is not fully doing its job, and causes ...

Limited access or minimally invasive coronary artery surgery is being evaluated in numerous North American medical centers. The purposes of this report are to (1) describe the techniques, (2) examine progress in this new field, (3) comment on the potential of these approaches, and (4) put into perspective the expected goals of minimally invasive coronary surgery, given the proven long-term results achieved with traditional techniques (sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass).. Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass is performed using one of two approaches: (1) a series of small holes or ports in the chest (referred to as PACAB, PortCAB, or port-access coronary artery bypass) or (2) a combination of ports and a small incision directly over the coronary artery to be bypassed (referred to as MIDCAB or minimally invasive coronary artery bypass). As in standard coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), anesthesia is required.. PACAB is currently used only by investigators at a few university ...

Background:Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) involves scan-directed removal of a single adenoma through a 2·0-cm mini-incision without intraoperative monitoring. The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of MIP using such a simplified technique.Methods:The study group comprised 500 consecutive patients undergoing MIP via a lateral mini-incision from August 2000 to September 2005. Levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured after operation solely to aid informed discharge.Results:Some 97·4 per cent of patients were initially cured by MIP. Eight patients remained hypercalcaemic and a further five were normocalcaemic on the day after surgery but became hypercalcaemic again within 3 months of the procedure. Eleven of these patients were cured with subsequent re-exploration. Analysis of postoperative PTH data indicated that, at best, the use of intraoperative PTH measurement during surgery would have increased the cure rate by only a further 1 per cent. Three (0·6 per cent) ...

Harry Kellar, 52, of Cutler, Ohio, father of four, coach of his sons junior high football team, and machine maintenance planner at Kraton Polymers, felt fine. His older sons high school football team was hosting an ice cream social at the firehouse, and Kellar stopped by the blood pressure booth for a quick check.. A handful of doctors appointments and referrals later, Kellar found out that an artery in his heart was 100 percent blocked. He needed a coronary artery bypass. Kellar had watched his fathers long recovery from traditional bypass surgery, in which the breastbone is split and the ribcage separated in order to access the heart. He wanted to avoid that experience if at all possible.. Fortunately, just two hours away, the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute offers minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass. With the aid of a surgical robot, the entire procedure can be performed through a few small incisions between the ribs on the left side.. Most cardiac surgery is done through a ...

An increasing proportion of patients requiring treatment for malignancy are elderly, which has created new challenges for oncologic surgeons. Aging is associated with an increasing prevalence of frailty and comorbidities that may affect the outcome of surgical procedures. By decreasing complications and shortening length of hospital stay without affecting oncologic safety, surgery performed using the robot, rather than traditional laparotomy, improves the chances of a better outcome in our growing elderly populations. In addition to age, surgeons should take into account factors, such as frailty and comorbidities that correlate with outcome

The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to clarify the safety and efficacy of total hip arthroplasty via the direct anterior approach in the supine position with a novel mobile traction table. The first experience of consecutive surgeries by a single surgeon using the direct anterior approach with a traction table is described with a two-year follow-up period. Of 121 patients, 100 patients without previous hip surgeries, severe deformity, or cemented implants were divided into two groups comprising the first 50 patients and the second 50 patients. The implant survival rate was 99% at the two-year follow-up. Revision surgery was required for periprosthetic femoral fracture in one patient. The complication rate possibly related to the traction table was 5% (5 patients): three anterior dislocations, one periprosthetic femoral fracture, and one intraoperative perforation caused by femoral rasping. The complication rate tended to decrease in the second group compared to the first group (4% versus 6%

What is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)? MIS is surgery typically performed through small incisions, or operating ports, rather than large incisions, resulting in potentially shorter recovery times, fewer complications, reduced hospitalization costs and reduced trauma to the patient.. The TRMC Surgery Center offers a host of advanced, minimally-invasive procedures that utilize a telescope-like instrument which is inserted in a small incision called a laparoscope, endoscope or arthroscope. The scope is connected to a tiny video camera, which projects a view of the operative site on video monitors in the operating room. The surgeon observes the video monitors to guide precision surgical instruments through another small incision to perform the operation.. The TRMC Surgery Center also offers the revolutionary da Vinci robotic surgery system, a sophisticated robotic platform designed to expand the surgeons minimally-invasive capabilities. With da Vinci, small incisions are used to introduce ...

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery CABG is a surgical procedure that improves blood flow to the heart for patients with blocked coronary arteries. Robotic CABG is a relatively new minimally invasive surgical technique. It is a less invasive alternative to conventional open heart surgery where the breastbone, or sternum, is sawn in half. It uses surgical instruments and a camera attached to the arms of a robotic machine, which are controlled by the heart surgeon via a computer console.. This minimally invasive technique enables very precise control of the surgical instruments over a wide range of motion through small cuts on the side of the chest. Robotic CABG surgery has been performed by specialized heart surgeons in selected institutions over the last 15 years. Whether a patient is suitable for robotic CABG or a conventional technique such as open surgery depends on several factors. These include the severity and anatomy of coronary artery disease, previous surgical procedures, other medical ...

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive spinal procedure that involves an injection of bone cement through a small hole in the skin into a fractured vertebra. It is a type of vertebral augmentation surgery. Watch: Vertebroplasty Interactive Video.. The goals of the vertebroplasty surgical procedure are to stabilize the spinal fracture and to stop the pain caused by the fracture. Vertebroplasty is considered a minimally invasive surgical procedure because the procedure is done through a small puncture in the patients skin (as opposed to an open incision). A typical vertebroplasty procedure, described below, usually takes about 1 hour to complete.. ...

Minimally invasive surgery is the new paradigm in the field of surgery, and Montefiore is the first academic medical centre in the New York region to offer a formalised training programme for all surgical residents, stated T.S. Ravikumar, M.D., chairman of the Department of Surgery. It is anticipated that this modern centre, in addition to training Montefiore residents in a variety of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including laparoscopic, arthroscopic and other endoscopic interventions, will quickly become a regional centre for practising surgeons to learn new and advanced skills.. In the past ten years, minimally invasive surgery has replaced open surgery for many general procedures, such as gall bladder, knee and shoulder surgery, and is being used increasingly for more complex procedures in gynaecological, cardiac and urological surgery. Laparoscopic surgery requires learning entirely new skill sets, explained Alan White, M.D., the director of MIMIS. First, the surgeon must ...

Minimally invasive spinal surgery, or MISS for short, is a surgical method used to treat a variety of spinal disorders. It is characterized not only by the use of a smaller incision than in conventional open spinal surgery, but also by the use of advanced technology and innovative techniques. According to our Florida orthopedic specialists, the main goal of MISS is to minimize muscle and soft tissue damage caused by the surgery while accomplishing results equivalent to those of conventional open spinal surgery.. During MISS, a number of different techniques can be used depending on the condition being treated. In general, a tubular access approach is utilized. By using a tubular retractor, the force on the muscles around the incision is divided more equally than during open surgery, thus creating less localized pressure and reducing the risk of muscle and soft tissue damage. In some cases, MISS may be performed using endoscopy, which involves a tiny video camera guiding the orthopedic surgeon by ...

Background: Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a very successful therapy for patients with severe hip osteoarthritis. The clinical and functional results have been well documented in the past for the conventional methods. So far there is no study that investigated the relationship between body-mass-index (BMI) and sex and the clinical and radiological outcome after minimally invasive THA. The aim of this work is to analyse the reproducibility of the radiological results with minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty in relation of BMI and sex. Methods: 48 patients received THA (femoral stem: CLS; acetabular cup: Triology; both Zimmer, Warsaw, USA) through a minimally invasive anterolateral approach. The clinical and functional results before and after surgery were recorded and analysed. The reproducibility of the surgical results was messured by standardized radiography. Subsequently, these results were evaluated for dependencies of sex and BMI. Results: BMI positively correlated with the duration ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Recent advances in plastic stents. T2 - A comprehensive review. AU - Bink, Nienke. AU - Mohan, Velram Balaji. AU - Fakirov, Stoyko. N1 - Taylor & Francis deal. PY - 2019/11/7. Y1 - 2019/11/7. N2 - Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are globally the number one cause of death reported by the World Health Organization. A relevant CVD is coronary artery disease (CAD) in which a layer of plaque is formed on the interior of the coronary arteries which limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood through the body and specifically to the heart. A well-known but invasive surgical technique to manage CAD is bypass surgery. A minimally invasive technique is the implantation of stents. Nowadays, the aim is to use biodegradable plastics as a stent material instead of metals. These plastic stents are to disappear after the blood vessel has healed. The biggest challenge is to match the mechanical requirements while still being deliverable and suitable to be inside human blood vessels for the total healing ...

A typical laparoscopic gall bladder removal procedure requires placement of a rigid laparoscope through a 1.5-2.5 cm incision in the umbilicus and then 2-3 additional 0.5 cm incisions for additional instrumentation. While post-operative complication rates for this procedure are small, wound infection, particularly of the large incision, is one of the most common post-operative complications. There is also a risk of a post-operative hernia at these incision sites.. A less invasive surgical technique that reduces the size or number of laparoscopic incisions offers the potential clinical benefits of eliminating wound infections, hernias and decreasing post-operative pain following laparoscopic gall bladder removal. ...

Total hip arthroplasty, which is the replacement of a painful joint that has been destroyed, constitutes the operation of the century. It was first presented in the early 1960s by Sir John Charnley, in a presentation for the treatment of osteoarthritic joints in elderly patients, and showed very positive results. Nowadays, young patients ask for total hip replacements, hoping to improve their quality of life and return to their normal, everyday activities.. The progress in biomedical technology has led to the development of novel techniques and prostheses, as well as in the selective use of cement, depending on the case. The use of new and enhanced materials and plans for implantation results in a lower friction coefficient, allowing for greater loads, better movement and increased stability. The development of minimally invasive surgical techniques (MIS) limits possible damage of soft tissue, leading to an accelerated recovery, without compromised long term results (hopefully). Computer ...

As of 2003, there are about 3,700 ambulatory surgical centers in the United States, compared with 275 in 1980 and 1,450 in 1990. This rapid increase reflects a general trend toward surgeries performed on an outpatient basis. According to American Medical News , 70% of all surgical procedures performed in the United States in 2000 were done in outpatient facilities, compared to 15% in 1980. As of 2003, over seven million surgeries are performed annually in American ASCs. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of operations performed annually in these centers rose 191%, from 2.3 million procedures in 1990 to 6.7 million in 2000. The types of surgical procedures performed in ASCs have also undergone significant changes in recent years. Many of the early ASCs were outpatient centers for plastic surgery. Advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques in other specialties, however, led to the establishment of ASCs for orthopedic, dental, and ophthalmologic procedures. According to the Federated ...

Colon and Rectal Surgery is the division of medicine concerned with surgery performed on the intestinal tract, pelvic wall, sacrum, rectum, anus and perianal areas. The Colon and Rectal surgeons of the Oregon Clinic use sophisticated, minimally invasive surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted rectal surgery, to treat a wide range of colorectal problems from removing cancerous growths to treating inflammatory bowel disease. Colon surgery is recommended to remove tumors, large or hard to reach polyps or diverticula that are causing severe symptoms. In some cases, surgery is necessary to determine whether a growth is cancerous. The surgical procedure recommended depends upon the extent of tumor involvement and the location of the cancer. For example, some rectal cancers are very small and limited to the surface of the rectal lining. Other cancers have grown through the entire rectal wall and are adherent (stuck) to nearby structures and organs, such as the abdominal or pelvic wall, the ...

Alternate methods of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery have been developed in recent times. Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) is a technique of performing bypass surgery without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (the heart-lung machine). Futher refinements to OPCAB have resulted in Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass surgery (MIDCAB) which is a technique of performing bypass surgery through a 5 to 10 cm incision. People with multi-vessel coronary disease and desire a minimally invasive approach to surgery may be eligible for hybrid bypass. A hybrid approach combines coronary bypass (using the MIDCAB approach) and coronary stenting. ...

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement versus aortic valve replacement through full sternotomy: the Brigham and Womens Hospital experience

Minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) became the popular technique. It had the less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time compared to the conventional technique. With using MIS technique, less cut of quadriceps tendon was the key. It related to keep more quadriceps strength and improve functional performance after TKA. However, there was no previous studies about the effect of quadriceps incision length in the recovery time of the quadriceps strength. The investigators hypothesized that longer quadriceps incision affected the longer recovery time of quadriceps strength in MIS-TKA ...

ANOVA was performed to prove the null hypothesis defined as no change in the ODI, VAS LBP, and VAS LP when measured before, 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after MIS-TLIF, respectively. The results showed a significant time effect for ODI with a Wilks lambda=0.5, F(3, 27), p,0.001, η2=0.95). In addition, VAS LBP (Wilks lambda=0.381, F(3, 27), p,0.001, η2=0.619) and VAS LP (Wilks lambda=0.012, F(3, 27), p,0.001, η2=0.988) showed a similar significance. Follow-up comparisons revealed that each pairwise difference was significant in all three measurements (p,0.01). Significant improvement was observed in the respective ODI, VAS LBP, and VAS LP scores over time, suggesting that MIS-TLIF improved the participants functional outcome. All patients attained radiological fusion at 12 months with 18 (60%) meeting the Rays criteria of bony healing at 6-month follow-up (Table 2 ...

Evaluation of a novel tool for bone graft delivery in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion Jeffrey B Kleiner, Hannah M Kleiner, E John Grimberg Jr, Stefanie J Throlson The Spine Center of Innovation, The Medical Center of Aurora, Aurora, CO, USA Study design: Disk material removed (DMR) during L4-5 and L5-S1 transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (T-LIF) surgery was compared to the corresponding bone graft (BG) volumes inserted at the time of fusion. A novel BG delivery tool (BGDT) was used to apply the BG. In order to establish the percentage of DMR during T-LIF, it was compared to DMR during anterior diskectomy (AD). This study was performed prospectively. Summary of background data: Minimal information is available as to the volume of DMR during a T-LIF procedure, and the relationship between DMR and BG delivered is unknown. BG insertion has been empiric and technically challenging. Since the volume of BG applied to the prepared disk space likely impacts the probability of

Single-port laparoscopy (SPL), also known as single-port access surgery (SPA), single-port incisionless conventional equipment-utilizing surgery (SPICES), single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), Single-access endoscopic surgery (SAES), laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), natural-orifice transumbilical surgery (NOTUS), and one-port umbilical surgery (OPUS), is a recently developed technique in laparoscopic surgery. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon operates almost exclusively through a single entry point, typically the patients navel. Unlike a traditional multi-port laparoscopic approach, SPL leaves only a single small scar. SPL is accomplished through a single 20 mm incision in the navel (umbilicus or belly button), or through only a 11 mm incision in the navel, minimizing the scarring and incisional pain associated with the multiple points of entry used during traditional laparoscopic surgery. Specialized equipment for SPL surgery falls into two ...

Arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgical technique, uses highly specialized instruments to perform surgery through very small incisions called portals. This type of surgery is particularly effective for orthopaedic procedures, especially those involving the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip and wrist joints.. What are the benefits of arthroscopic surgery?. In traditional surgery, sometimes called open surgery, the surgeon makes incisions that can be several or more inches long. Patients stay in the hospital longer, have a longer recovery time after returning home, and experience more pain.. With arthroscopy, surgeons often can examine, diagnose and treat orthopaedic injuries with minimal difficulty for both the surgeon and the patient. Patients who are operated on arthroscopically almost always have smaller incisions (often only about 1/4 inch), less scar tissue, less pain after surgery, less damage to other tissue in the surgical area and faster recovery. In fact, many patients who ...

Dr. Rieber specializes in knee arthroscopy - a minimally invasive surgical technique and the most common surgical method to repair ACL tears. Arthroscopic techniques offer several potential benefits that reduced blood loss and scarring with minimal damage to tissue, all of which help lead to a quicker recovery and return to sports. In an arthroscopic procedure a small incision is made and a tiny video camera is inserted into the knee joint. The internal images from the camera provide a clear view of the knee, which the orthopedic surgeon uses to diagnose and treat the injury. Special surgical instruments are then inserted through additional small incisions to repair the torn ACL. Simply stitching the torn ends of the ACL back together is not an effective means of restoring the full function of the knee. Instead, a graft from another ligament (usually the patellar tendon) is taken to replace the function of the torn ACL and repair the tendon.

there are questions concerning the influence of computer-assisted surgery and the minimal invasive surgical technique on the outcome of total knee arthroplasty. The authors followed up the rehabilitation of patients during the first postoperative year.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used for the management of compression fractures in the spine caused by weakened bones.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to treat a spinal deformity such as a spinal compression fracture and allied compression and pain. In a majority of cases, a compression fracture occurs due to osteoporosis. It can be extremely painful and cause a number of mobility issues. During a kyphoplasty procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin tube into the broken vertebrae through an incision over the affected site. A thin catheter is then guided to the broken vertebrae. A balloon at the end of this catheter is inflated and the liquid bone cement that it carries is injected into the cavity or fracture. The balloon is deflated and removed. The cement takes about 15 minutes to solidify repairing the cavity.. At Care Hospitals, a team of expert orthopaedic surgeons and neurologists work relentlessly to provide our patients the best of medical care and comfort.. ...

Hemorrhoids are normal vascular cushions found in the anal canal. 15% of a humans continence mechanism is attributed to the hemorrhoidal plexus. When a person coughs, for instance, the hemorrhoids will engorge with blood and increase ones ability to hold gas and stool. They are termed internal and external based on their positioning to an embryological line termed the pectinate line. Hemorrhoids above the pectinate line are considered internal and those below it external.[2] Hemorrhoids are fed by arteries and drained by veins. The arterial blood supply is based on the superior rectal (hemorrhoidal) artery. Just as veins in the leg weaken and become prominent, hemorrhoidal veins also may become varicose, resulting in internal hemorrhoids or piles. Internal hemorrhoids are divided into four grades. Grade I hemorrhoids are composed of prominent vessels, without protrusion. Grade II hemorrhoids demonstrate prolapse upon straining, with spontaneous reduction. Grade III hemorrhoids ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Perioperative management for esophagectomy. AU - Suzuki, Takeshi. AU - Morisaki, Hiroshi. PY - 2014/5. Y1 - 2014/5. N2 - Esophagetomy is considered as one of the most invasive surgical procedures. Despite marked advances in surgical techniques, anesthetic management and intensive care, the morbidity and mortality remain still high compared with the other types of surgery. Excessive inflammatory response after surgery induces over-production of inflammatory cytokines, leading to the development of vital organ failures. Anesthesiologists should pay much attention to perioperative management of patients undergoing esophagectomy since they are potentially at high risks of respiratory and cardiovascular complications caused by excessive stress with cervical thoracic and abdominal procedures. During surgery, many interventions such as effective epidural anesthesia, restrictive fluid management lung protective strategy, maintenance of hemodynamic stability and steroid therapy should be ...

A microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove herniated disc material that is causing pain in the lower back and legs (lumbar), mid back (thoracic), or neck and arms (cervical). Herniated discs, often caused by injury or trauma to the spine, result in pain, numbness and weakness in the extremities. When a disc ruptures or is pushed out of place, it can become lodged against spinal nerves, putting pressure on the nerves. This compression of the nerves can significantly impact your quality of life.. A discectomy removes an injured or herniated disc from the spine. This is not generally the first line of treatment for spinal pain, but it is helpful in cases where the patient is suffering from constant and severe pain and numbness after exhausting medications, therapy, and steroid injections of the spine. The procedure, also called decompression, relieves the pressure put on adjacent nerves by removing portions of the bone or herniated discs pressing on the ...

Management of fecal incontinence - focus on a vaginal insert for bowel control Eric R Sokol Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA Abstract: Fecal incontinence, also referred to as accidental bowel leakage, is a debilitating condition that impacts quality of life in a significant number of women. Current treatments for fecal incontinence include behavioral modification, biofeedback, drug therapy, and invasive surgical procedures. However, these treatments have suboptimal efficacy due to patient adherence, variability of presentation across patients, cost, and additional health risks. A vaginal bowel control system (EclipseTM System) was developed to offer a low-risk, effective, and patient-managed approach to treating accidental bowel leakage. The vaginal bowel control system consists of a vaginal insert and user-controlled, pressure-regulated pump. Once inflated, the balloon of the vaginal insert is directed posteriorly to occlude the rectum,
