BACKGROUND To investigate the efficacy and advantage of combining situ-morcellation with continuous-fill-mattress suture compared with conventional morcellation and suture in laparoscopic myomectomy. METHODS One hundred sixteen patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy from March 2014 to October 2016. INTERVENTIONS Patients were divided into combining situ-morcellation with continuous-...

Background: Sutures are used to keep tissues in place until enough healing has taken produce endogenous wound strength. The method of closure should be quick, simple, affordable, and successful while maximizing the cosmetic patient outcomes. So, this study was an attempt compare subcuticular vertical mattress suture techniques inguinal hernia repair. Methods: A prospective carried out among pat...

DISCUSSION Many surgeons default to holding the scope in a curved position. Due to the length and the ever decreasing calibre of modern scopes, the transmission of torque is reduced, resulting in decreased rotation of the tip in response to movements of the hand. Consequently, the operator resorts to excessive movements in a ‘windscreen wiper’ motion. Using this technique improves the ability o...

Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries are increasingly recognized as a cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Palmer grouped these tears into either traumatic or degenerative, with various subclassifications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), arthrogram, and arthroscopy are the methods used to establish the diagnosis. Several arthroscopic methods of TFCC repair including outside-in, insid...

BACKGROUND Most complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) were relation to pancreaticoenterostomy. We improved a new method of pancreaticoenterostomy that included the continuous suturing of the jejunum and the stump of the pancreas end-to-side with one layer posteriorly and two layers anteriorly. To evaluate the safety and efficiency of this new method, we introduced this retrospectivel...

PURPOSE Our purpose was to compare 3 commonly used suture anchor configurations for repair of type II SLAP lesions. METHODS Biomechanical testing was performed on 3 groups of 7 cadaveric shoulders by use of an optical linear strain measurement system. Standardized type II SLAP lesions were created and repaired via 3 suture anchor configurations: (1) a single simple suture anterior to the bice...

PURPOSE New all-inside meniscal repair devices include those combining sutures with anchors and that allow for an "adjustable" repair. This study's purpose was to compare the failure strength of new meniscal repair devices with suture repairs. TYPE OF STUDY Experimental laboratory biomechanical study. METHODS A single repair was placed in a vertical longitudinal peripheral tear made in fres...
