Inguinal hernia repair in infants is a routine surgical procedure. However, numerous issues, including timing of the repair, the need to explore the contralateral groin, use of laparoscopy, and anesthetic approach, remain unsettled. Given the lack of compelling data, consideration should be given to large, prospective, randomized controlled trials to determine best practices for the management ...

INTRODUCTION Meniscal tears are common debilitating injuries that can have dramatic consequences especially for young athletes. Healing of meniscal tears following surgical repair is essentially only feasible for tears within the peripheral, vascular, zone. By comparison, tears that occur within the inner, avascular, zone do not heal and most commonly are treated by excision. This in turn great...

With the rise in obesity and heart disease in the United States and around the world, there is a strong correlation with the need to develop various ways to repair damaged blood vessels. Previous treatments of the repair of blood vessels involved stents and also various forms of synthetic sheaths. However, these treatments had their problems. Problems included movement of the stent, blood clott...

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

Abstract We herein describe our technique of “branch first continuous perfusion arch repair (BF-CPAR)” which does away with both cerebral circulatory arrest and the need for deep hypothermia. use this all aortic surgeries including type A acute dissections.
