Combined drainage

Evaluation of drainage procedures combined with vagotomy.

Methods It was a prospective study with randomization of the drainage procedures carried out on patients admitted to hospital for the surgical treatment of chronic duodenal ulceration. The following estimations were made preand post-operatively: Chemical frecal fat, fecal excretion, and absorption of radioisotope-labelled triolein and oleic acid, together with serum levels of lipids, the labell...

Combined endoscopic transgastric and transpapillary drainage of an infected biloma.

endoscopy/doi/ 10.1055/s−2006−925174 DOI: 10.1055/s−2006−925174 Figure 1 The computed tomogram shows a fluid collection between the liver and the stomach, causing extrinsic compression of the stomach. Figure 2 The follow−up abdominal compu− ted tomogram shows resolution of the bilo− ma, with an indwelling transgastric stent. U C T N U n u su alases an d Tech n ialN o es

Combined gastric and duodenal ulcers managed by vagotomy and drainage.

Chronic subdural hematoma: drainage versus no drainage.

Second, we believe that to compare the two surgical techniques, there must be a certain consistency in the two study groups. The authors only indicate the age and sex distribution of both groups, however it is very important to know several things that make the series are not significantly homogeneous and therefore the results may be biased. It is important to know that the degree of clinical s...

Drainage basin delineation from vector drainage networks

An automated process for the delineation of drainage basins, using as input only the vector based drainage network, is described which provides an alternative to DEM based methods. The procedure involves an approximation of the line Voronoi diagram for the network using a constrained Delaunay triangulation of the network's Planar Straight Line Graph. The constrained triangulation, which include...
