Abstract Aims Although few studies have examined the impact of surgical training on early postoperative outcomes in bariatric surgery, there is limited data longer-term trainee-performed cases. Our aim was to evaluate effect weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods Data prospectively collated patients undergoing primary LSG at a Quaternary Bariatric London teaching H...

the introduction of newly devised wound dressing has been a major breakthrough in the management of wounds or infections. the aims of this paper are to isolate and identify bacterial species causing burn wound infections from a university-related iranian hospital as well as determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to newly devised nanocomposite materials ...

Laparoscopic without drawbacks associated with two complications, bile duct injury and complications due to spillage of stone/bile within the peritoneal cavity . This study aimed evaluation different short-term gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.This was a prospective comparative carried on 100 patients, divided into 2 groups: group A :(50) control random doing cholecystectomy gallb...

Minimally invasive great saphenous vein harvest for coronary artery bypass grafting aims to reduce post-operative leg-wound related morbidity. In a meta-analysis of randomised trials we have shown leg wound infection rates to be significantly lower in patients undergoing minimally invasive harvest. This study aims to use meta-analysis to compare the two techniques with regards to non-infective ...

OBJECTIVE This retrospective investigation describes the infectious morbidity of patients following radical vulvectomy with or without inguinal lymph node dissection. METHODS The charts of patients undergoing radical vulvectomy between January 1, 1986, and September 1, 1989, were reviewed for age, weight, cancer type, tumor stage, operative procedure(s), prophylactic antibiotic and its length...

A prospective evaluation of wound healing of 675 patients who underwent elective foot and ankle surgeries between 2011 and 2015 at a single hospital clinic was performed to evaluate the effect of two prophylactic antibiotic regimens. Only those patients who were having elective foot or ankle surgery and were being followed up at the hospital’s outpatient clinic, patients had a traumatic or non-...

The different types of acute skin wounds, including surgically created wounds, partial thickness injuries, burns, and traumatic wound, involve significant tissue loss and wound healing duration which could take time.

Regarding this, the present study aimed to compare the minimally invasive and open esophagectomy in terms of their short-term outcomes and preoperative complications. Materials & Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 61 patients i...

A variety of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) have already been experimentally used, in an effort to promote wound healing. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of short duration PEMF on secondary healing of full thickness skin wounds in a rat model. Full thickness skin wounds, 2 by 2 cm, were surgically inflicted in two groups of male Wistar rats, 24 animals each. I...
