Patello-femoral complications associated with total knee arthroplasty

The patello-femoral articulation accounts for a significant number of the complications that occur after total knee replacements and which require re-operation. These include problems with stability, component wear, fracture, loosening, and osteonecrosis. With careful attention to prosthetic design and surgical technique, these complications can be minimized.

Open mesh versus non-mesh repair of groin hernia meta-analysis of randomized trials leased on individual patient data

Abstract Background. The EU Hernia Trialists Collaboration was established to provide reliable evaluation of newer methods of groin hernia repair. It involved 70 investigators in 20 countries. Materials and methods. Twenty eligible trials (5016 participants) of open mesh vs. non-mesh groin hernia repair were identified. Meta-analysis was performed using raw individual patient data where possible. Results. Fewer hernia recurrences were reported after mesh repair. There were no clear differences between mesh and non-mesh groups in complications. Overall, those in the mesh groups had a shorter hospital stay, quicker return to usual activities and less frequent persisting pain, but individual trial results varied. Conclusions. The review provides strong evidence that open mesh repair is associated with a reduction in the risk of recurrence of between 50% and 75%. There is also some evidence of quicker recovery and of lower rates of persisting pain following open mesh repair. Electronic Publication     

Preliminary experience with new bioactive prosthetic material for repair of hernias in infected fields

Surgisis (Cook Surgical, Bloomington, Ind., USA) is a new four-ply bioactive, prosthetic mesh for hernia repair derived from porcine small-intestinal submucosa. It is a naturally occurring extracellular matrix which is easily absorbed, supports early and abundant new vessel growth, and serves as a template for the constructive remodeling of many tissues. As such, we believe that Surgisis mesh is ideal for use in contaminated or potentially contaminated fields in which ventral, incisional, or inguinal hernia repairs are required. From November 2000 through May 2002, 25 patients (11 male, 14 female) underwent placement of Surgisis mesh for a variety of different hernia repairs. A total of 25 hernia repairs were performed in our patient population. Fourteen procedures (56%) were performed in a potentially contaminated setting (i.e. with incarcerated/strangulated bowel within the hernia or coincident with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy/colectomy). Eleven repairs (44%) were performed in a grossly contaminated field, including one in which an infected polypropylene mesh from a previous inguinal hernia repair was replaced with Surgisis and one in which necrotic bowel was discovered within the hernial sac. Median follow-up was 15 months with a range of 1–20 months. Of the 25 total repairs, there was one wound infection complicated by enterocutaneous fistula in a patient originally operated on for ischemic bowel. The fistula was in a location independent of the Surgisis mesh. There were no mesh-related complications or recurrent hernias in our early postoperative follow-up period. Surgisis mesh appears to be a promising new prosthetic material for hernia repair, especially in contaminated or potentially contaminated fields. Obviously, long-term follow-up is still required.

The use of three different mesh materials in the treatment of abdominal wall defects

Abstract Abstract. Various prosthetic materials have been proposed for the repair of abdominal wall defects. These materials offer tension-free repair and significantly lower recurrence rate. Their respective properties are related to such complications as seroma, infection, fistula formation, intestinal adhesions and removal. We compared the final outcome in treating abdominal wall defects in 56 patients with three different prosthetic materials: conventional polypropylene in a preperitoneal location, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, and hydrophilic membrane coated polyester mesh in an intraperitoneal location. The hydrophilic coated polyester group exhibited the lowest complication rate and the polypropylene group the highest. Electronic Publication     

Successful surgical treatment of secondary kwashiorkor after total gastrectomy: Report of a case

We report herein the case of a 56-year-old woman who developed secondary Kwashiorkor 9 years after undergoing a total gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Until she began developing the symptoms of Kwashiorkor, including general fatigue, edema of the face and extremities, anemia, alopecia, and weight loss, she had been leading a normal life post-gastrectomy. Her symptoms were alleviated by total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy, but reappeared soon after TPN therapy was discontinued. Therefore, she required several subsequent courses of TPN. In an attempt to permanently resolve the ongoing Kwashiorkor symptoms, reconstructive surgery involving transposition of the jejunum from the previous Graham method to the interposition method was performed 10 years after the initial gastrectomy. After the second operation, her malnutrition was completely alleviated, and she has been in good health for the 8 years since. To our knowledge, there has been no other report of the symptoms of secondary Kwashiorkor after total gastrectomy being alleviated by altering the procedure of reconstruction of the intestinal tract. Thus, we recommend surgical treatment to alter the digestive continuity to a more physiological pathway for selected patients with secondary Kwashiorkor syndrome.     

Use of Vicryl mesh to support the esophageal wall after circular myotomy (Livaditis procedure) in long-gap esophageal atresia — an experimental study

Circular esophageal myotomy (CEM) is currently a well-accepted technique for elongation of the upper esophageal pouch in cases of long-gap esophageal atresia (EA). Esophageal pseudodiverticulum is a frequent and perhaps underreported sequela of this technique, characterized by ballooning or outpouching of the esophageal mucosa in the myotomized area. The present study was designed to seek a supplement for the CEM technique in order to avoid possible pseudodiverticulum formation in the myotomized area. We created an animal model to simulate the anatomic conditions present after primary repair of EA facilitated by CEM. Three groups of dogs underwent either cervical (1 group) or thoracic (2 groups) esophageal myectomy. In the cervical and first thoracic groups, the denuded mucosa was left without any support. In the second thoracic group, the denuded mucosal area was wrapped with polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) mesh. In all three groups the esophagus was narrowed by a Marlex mesh ring 3 cm distal to the myectomized zone, simulating a condition resulting from anastomotic narrowing. The dogs underwent barium swallows under fluoroscopy at different postoperative periods and were killed 4 or 6 months after surgery. The esophagi were removed for gross and radiologic investigation under maximal insufflation as well as for histologic assessment. The proposed canine model proved to be useful for study of the myectomized esophagus, mimicking the anatomy and conditions after CEM in long-gap EA repair. Wrapping the denuded mucosa with Vicryl mesh fortified the weakened esophageal wall, thus diminishing the likelihood of future pseudodiverticulum development. In light of the simplicity of the technique and the absence of any evident risk or complications, we recommend that the use of Vicryl mesh wrap be considered during CEM to reinforce the esophageal wall.Supported by the Slezak Fund for Experimental Surgery (Grant #01370791)
