BACKGROUND Laparoscopic and robotic surgery is widely practiced in modern medicine. The operative procedure is not complete until the port sites are closed with a fascial suture. We report a simple new technique that is easy, cost-effective, and quick to apply using 2 S-retractors for suture placement under direct visualization to secure the abdominal wall fascia and peritoneum. MATERIALS AND...

In this paper, we study the decomposition of semirings with a semilattice additive reduct. For, we introduce the notion of principal left $k$-radicals $Lambda(a)={x in S | a stackrel{l}{longrightarrow^{infty}} x}$ induced by the transitive closure $stackrel{l}{longrightarrow^{infty}}$ of the relation $stackrel{l}{longrightarrow}$ which induce the equivalence relation $lambda$. Again non-transit...

Background. Postoperative sternal instability can be associated with the density of bone and type of wire closure. Sternal instability is a serious complication, especially in diabetic obese patients. This category of patients is susceptible to activation of inflammation and inflammatory and/or infective involvement of the sternum after sternotomy. This study was designed to evaluate the compar...

Either simple closure or PDM was performed to repair the fistula. In total, 61 patients underwent a simple closure or Y-V plasty of the fistula, and 26 underwent a PDM repair. The success rate was 78.7% for simple closure or Y-V plasty and 96.2% ...

Abstract For a positive integer k , group G is said to be totally -closed if for each set $$\Omega $$ Ω upon which acts faithfully, the largest subgroup of $$\textrm{Sym}(\Omega )$$ Sym ( ) that leaves invariant -orbits in induced...
