Introduction: Radical pelvic surgery requires continent or incontinent urinary diversion. There are many techniques, but the orthotopic neobladder is the most used. A continent catheteri-zable urinary reservoir is sometimes a good alternative when this derivation is not possible or not indicated. This paper has aimed to present our experience with the Indiana pouch continent urinary reservoir. ...

Introduction:Neurogenic mediastinal tumors comprise a wide range of benign and malignant diseases. A group of these tumors, located at thoracic apex, sometimes spread to cervical spaces causing numerous surgical difficulties. In thoracotomy approaches, due to proximity of the tumors to major blood vessels, complete removal of these tumors from cervical spaces is impossible or may cause intraope...

Associated acetabular fractures are challenging injuries to manage. The complex surgical approaches and the technical difficulty in achieving anatomical reduction imply that the learning curve to achieve high-quality care of patients with such challenging injuries is extremely steep. This first article in the Journal's "Safe Surgical Technique" section presents the standard surgical care, in co...

Complications of surgical aspect and which may occur after renal homotransplantation following the classical techniques in the vascular anastomosis as well as in the reestablishment of the continuity of the urinary excretory tract, and which jeopardize the future of a transplanted kidney are analysed. The authors describe the technique followed in a series of cases consisting of the conservatio...

Although significant strides have been made in the surgical technique of orthotopic liver transplantation, numerous problems and nuisances are still encountered. Further surgical refinements will certainly evolve. The development of better preservation techniques, the use of intraoperative flowmeters, and the availability of new technologies, such as an artificial liver, should impact and advan...

Introduction: Roux-en-Y Hepatico-jejunostomy is the standard technique of biliary reconstruction after excision of choledochal cyst. Here the author describes a new surgical technique of biliary reconstruction using native gall bladder as biliary conduit. New Surgical Technique: The choledochal cyst is excised as standard technique but gall bladder with its neck is kept in situ. The gall bladde...

Yan et al. [1] need to be congratulated on forming an international aortic arch study group to improve patient outcomes after aortic arch surgery. Clinical consensus to classify the different temperatures utilized for hypothermia is obviously important; however, it does not take into account metabolic variation between patients [2] and may potentially explain variation in reported outcomes. Wit...

background many different surgical techniques have been described to stabilize the acromion-clavicular (ac) dislocations. so far many of these procedures are performed only in arthroscopy. objectives in this study, we describe a new technique that utilizes the tightrope with a mini-invasive open approach for the acute stabilization of the acromion-clavicular joint (acj) dislocation. patients an...
