Case Report: Vessel Injury During Suprapubic Catheter Placement and the Importance of Patient Positioning in Obese Patients
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for increased perioperative morbidity. As surgeons see higher volumes of obese patients, it is important to recognize how an elevated body mass index can impact even the most basic surgical steps, such as patient positioning. This case report describes an iatrogenic injury to the external iliac artery in a morbidly obese patient caused by an abdominal trocar ...
متن کاملSimplifying patient positioning and port placement during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
Proper patient positioning and port placement is of critical importance in robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Not having the patient in the correct Trendelenburg position or not being able to move the surgical instruments freely in the abdominal cavity can be frustrating, especially for naïve robotic surgeons (ie, those at the beginning of the learning curve for this pr...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Ventriculoperitoneal Shunts: Benefits to Resident Training and Patient Safety
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Symptomatic hydrocephalus is a surprisingly common clinical condition. Neurosurgeons are expert at ventriculostomy, but minimally invasive peritoneal access is outside the realm of their current training. We have adopted a multidisciplinary approach, with general surgeons positioning the distal shunt. Our objective was to review this recent experience. METHODS All di...
متن کاملComparison of Clinical, Functional, and Radiological Outcomes of Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional and Patient-Specific Instrumentation
Background: Recently, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) systems have been developed in order to increase theaccuracy of component positioning during total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, the findings of previous studies arecontroversial in this regard. In the current randomized clinical study, the outcomes of computer tomography (CT)-basedPS (patient specific)-guided TK...
متن کاملAttenuation of Motor Evoked Potentials Following Prone Positioning
Background and Importance Of outmost importance for the success of neurosurgical operations is proper patient positioning. This is particularly the case for operations conducted in the prone position, which is associated with several potential complications. Case presentation Here we report the case of a 52 years old male patient who underwent endoscopic discectomy for an L5-S1 herniated dis...
