Navigating Surgical Recovery: Understanding and Preventing Postoperative Adhesions 🌟🩺 If you've undergone abdominal or pelvic surgery, you may have heard about postoperative adhesions. These are internal scar tissues that can form between tissues and organs, sometimes leading to complications like pain and intestinal obstruction. But fear not! Here are some insights and preventative measures: ✨ Informed Surgical Choices: Discussing the surgical method with your doctor is crucial. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopy, can reduce the risk of adhesions. ✨ Early Mobilization: Moving around as soon as it's safe post-surgery can help reduce the chance of adhesions forming. ✨ Stay Hydrated: Drink ample fluids after surgery to ensure smooth bowel movements, minimizing strain on the surgical site. ✨ Adhesion Barriers: In certain surgeries, doctors can use physical barriers to minimize tissue contact and reduce the risk of adhesion formation. ✨ Follow Post-op Instructions: Always adhere to your surgeon's guidance on diet, activity level, and wound care. Following these directions can significantly aid your recovery and prevent complications. Your journey to recovery is just as important as the surgery itself. Staying informed and proactive can help you heal faster and better! Questions or shared experiences? We value your input.

CABG, or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, is a surgical procedure used to treat coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle, become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques. This can reduce blood flow to the heart, leading to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, and other symptoms, and can increase the risk of heart attack. During CABG surgery, a surgeon creates a new pathway for blood to flow to the heart by grafting a healthy artery or vein from another part of the patient's body to the blocked coronary artery. This bypasses the blocked or narrowed section, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The grafts commonly used are segments of the saphenous vein from the leg, the internal mammary artery from the chest, or the radial artery from the arm. CABG surgery can significantly improve symptoms of CAD, enhance the quality of life, and reduce the risk of heart attacks in patients with severe coronary artery blockages. So here is a small vedio which gives us a proper overview of what happens during CABG surgeries and how it will be done in оТ. #cardiacsurgery #CABGsurgery #bypasssurgery #perfusion #cardiacperfusion #heart #CAD

PTFE sutures are non-absorbable surgical sutures. They are known for their unique properties and specific applications in various surgical procedures. - Non-Absorbable: PTFE sutures do not get absorbed by the body and provide long-term stability in the wound. - Biocompatibility: They are highly biocompatible, meaning they cause minimal tissue reaction and are well-tolerated by the body. - Knot Security: They provide excellent knot security, which is essential for maintaining wound closure. - High Tensile Strength: They maintain their strength over time, ensuring the integrity of the wound closure. Applications: - Cardiovascular Surgery -Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery -Dental Surgery -General Surgery Advantages of PTFE sutures: - Reduced Inflammation: PTFE sutures cause less inflammatory response compared to some other non-absorbable sutures. - Durability: They provide durable wound support, especially in tissues that heal slowly. - Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures. #ptfe #sutures #cardiovascular #heartvalve #dental

Contrast media extravasation (CMEV) refers to the leakage of contrast media from the normal intravascular compartment into surrounding soft tissues; It is a well-known complication of contrast-enhanced CT scanning. It can also occur in MRI studies, but the complications are rare given the low volume that is used. - Treatment and prognosis : 1- discontinue the contrast infusion and notify the radiologist immediately 2- combine between hot and ice pack to the affected area and elevate the affected extremity to reduce swelling for atleast 1hr. 3- keep the patient under observation for at least two hours 4- Sometimes CT Scan is requested 5- at some institutions, the policy is to require plastic surgery consultation for all patients whose extravasations involve 100 mL or more of contrast medium 6- make contact with the doctor requesting the examination 7- Evaluate distal pulses, capillary refill, sensation, and motor skills. Examine the edema site . 8- it is suggested to follow up the patient in the next few days until the resolution of local edema - instruct the patient to notify staff if there is: 1- increasing swelling or pain over time 2- blistering, ulceration, induration or other skin changes 3- altered tissue perfusion and/or changes in sensation #ctscan #contrast #patientcare #patientsafety

Pioneering Use of FixNip™ NRI for Inverted Nipple Correction We are excited to share a groundbreaking case report published in JPRAS Open, detailing the successful use of our FixNip™ NRI silicone implant for correcting an inverted nipple. In this first-of-its-kind case, a 21-year-old patient with a grade II inverted nipple underwent a pioneering surgical procedure using the FixNip™ NRI implant after failing conventional reconstructive treatments. The FixNip™ NRI implant, designed for nipple-areola complex reconstruction after breast reconstruction, provided excellent aesthetic results and stable nipple projection at the 4-month follow-up. The patient reported high satisfaction with the aspect, touch, and feel of the reconstructed nipple, comparable to the natural nipple. This innovative approach not only offers a promising solution for challenging cases of inverted nipples but also highlights the importance of patient autonomy and informed choice in reconstructive surgery. We are proud to contribute to advancing surgical techniques and providing effective solutions that prioritize patient well-being and satisfaction.

Ophthopedia Update:Endoscope-Assisted Carlevale Lens Implantation in Patients Without Capsular Support: A Novel Surgical Approach to Ensure Correct Lens Positioning: Purpose: To describe endoscope-assisted Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods: Twelve eyes underwent posterior vitrectomy combined with Carlevale IOL implantation and endoscopy in a single procedure, using a technique developed by the authors. Transscleral incisions were performed under direct visualization of the sulcus using the endoscope, and the final lens position was checked at the end of each intervention. The main outcome was to determine the exact position of all lens fixation points. Results: All plugs were correctly placed in the sulcus, but in seven eyes (58.3%), at least one of the closed-loop haptics was folded over the ciliary body. Repositioning was performed during the same procedure. Given that each IOL has four closed-loop haptics, the incidence of this complication was 23% (11/48). Conclusion: Blind implantation of Carlevale IOL may cause a high incidence of haptic malpositioning. Because the sulcus and the ciliary body are not visible under the microscope, endoscopy is the only way to ensure correct lens implantation. This new technique ensures that all lens fixation points are correctly placed by the end of surgery, avoiding complications such as decentration or tilting of the IOL, damage to the iris or the ciliary body, and uveitis. #Ophthotwitter #Ophthalmology #Retina

Trochar removal technique using the light pipe. Here's a neat little trick to seal the sclerotomies well at the end of a case. Using a light pipe, you can slide the trochar out of the sclerotomy giving the wound a chance to go from a larger diameter to smaller diameter while the eye remains pressurized from the infusion port. The light pipe is kept in the wound as the trochar is slid out. Then, remove the light pipe and use a forcep to push on the top leaflet of the wound to ensure and enhance closure. Allowing the wound even a short amount of time to go from the wider outer diameter of the 25 gauge trochar to the smaller inner diameter of a light pipe, and giving constant pressurization from the vitreous cavity by the infusion port, makes a no-leakage closure more likely. And this doesn't add much time at all to the end of the case. It isn't a fail-safe maneuver but it does increase the chance of proper closure without sutures. I have found it especially important when performing sub-conjunctival block vitrectomies, where immediate sealing is important at the end of the case. These patients particularly benefit from maintained pressurization so they can have great eyesight without a patch, like our post-op cataract surgery patients 😎 Also, great discussion by Jorge Arroyo on this topic over at #Stych.tv and Surgical Streaming Society iOR Partners ZEISS Medical Technology Bausch Lomb Surgical #officesurgery #ROSEsociety
