Surgical Clip-Related Complications after Radical Prostatectomy

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the surgical clip-related complications that can occur after open retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), pure laparoscopic prostatectomy (LRP), and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A database of 641 patients who underwent RRP (n=439), LRP (n=49), and RALP (n=153) at our institution between January 2006 and A...

Standard Surgical Approaches to Primary Choledocholithiasis — Definitive Versus Temporary Decompression

The occurrence of retained/recurrent calculi after primary CBDE followed by temporary T-tube decompression, have remained at rates varying from 5.4% to 20.9% over the last 10 years in spite of sophisticated pre and intraoperative imaging techniques. It is postulated that a functional obstruction, due to dysmotility of the SO, lies behind most stone-containing ducts. Thus it seems logical to us ...

Endoscopic clip closure of a duodenocolic fistula secondary to a migrated biliary stent.

A 72-year-old man presented with acute cholangitis. He underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP), which revealed a type IIIb Klatskin tumor. An 8.5-Fr, 12-cm plastic biliary stent was placed. Cholangiocarcinoma was confirmed cytologically and this was deemed unresectable. One month later, the patient presented with abdominal pain and cholestasis without peritoneal signs, fever, or ...

Migrated XLIF cage: case report and discussion of surgical technique.

Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF; NuVasive, Inc, San Diego, California) is a minimally invasive technique developed to avoid complications associated with traditional or minimally invasive anterior or posterior approaches to lumbar interbody fusion. It uses a direct lateral, retroperitoneal, transpsoas approach for placement of an interbody cage. To date, no reports of cage-related compli...
