Introduction with Aim: Postoperative respiratory depression can complicate a patient’s recovery after surgery. A predictive score (PRODIGY) was recently proposed to evaluate the risk of opioid-induced postoperative respiratory depression. For the first time, we applied this score to a cohort of patients receiving bariatric surgery, stratified by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) status. In addition, we recorded continuous postoperative capnography to evaluate respiratory depression and apnea episodes (Respiratory Events, RE). Materials and Methods: The present study was approved by our IRB and comprised continuous surveillance of respiratory variables during postoperative recovery (in PACU) after robotic bariatric surgery. We utilized continuous capnography and pulse oximetry (Capnostream 35, Medtronic Inc., and Profox Respiratory Oximetry software). Preoperative preparation included OSA evaluation for all bariatric patients, additional sleep studies for severe OSA grades, and evaluation of risk for respiratory depression (low, intermediate, or high) using the published PRODIGY score. In addition, we evaluated patients by OSA status. All patients received multimodal intraoperative non-opioid anesthesia from the same team. After surgery, all patients received continuous respiratory surveillance in PACU (average duration exceeding 140 min). Respiratory depression events were scored using a modified list of the five standard published categories. Events were measured according to analysis of continuously recorded tracing of the compiled respiratory variables by observers kept blind from the study patient’s group. Results: Of the 80 patients evaluated (18 male), 56 had obstructive sleep apnea and were using CPAP at home (OSA); 24 did not. OSA patients received CPAP via an oronasal mask or a nasal pillow pressure support immediately after arriving in PACU, utilizing their at-home settings. We encountered 115 respiratory depression events across 48 patients. The most frequent respiratory event recorded was a transient desaturation (as low as 85%), which usually lasted 20–30 sec and resolved spontaneously in 3 to 5 min; most episodes followed small boluses of IV opioid analgesia administered during recovery, on demand. All episodes resolved spontaneously without any nursing or medical intervention. OSA patients had significantly more events than non-OSA patients (1.84 (1.78–1.9) mean events vs. 0.50 (0.43–0.57) for non-OSA, p = 0.0002). The level of PRODIGY score (low, intermediate, or high), instead, was not predictive of the number of events when we treated this variable as continuous (p = 0.39) or categorical (high vs. low, p = 0.65, and intermediate vs. low, p = 0.17). Conclusions: We attribute these novel results, showing a lack of respiratory events requiring intervention, to opioid-free anesthesia, early CPAP utilization, and head-up positioning on admission to PACU. Furthermore, all these patients had light postoperative narcotic requirements. Final

Dunbar syndrome is caused by the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL) and the diaphragmatic crura, presenting with abdominal pain. The treatment is surgical, with the aim of dissecting and separating the diaphragmatic crura from the celiac axis, restoring blood flow in the celiac trunk. We propose the use of transesophageal echocardiography to measure the peak systolic velocity in the celiac trunk and to evaluate, in real time, the efficacy of the surgery during MAL resection. Two clinical cases with practical implications are reported. In one of these, the ultrasound exam was useful in providing an intraoperative confirmation of the outcome of the resection.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare variant of mullerian duct anomalies characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. We report two cases of HWW syndrome in young women with abdominal pain. This diagnosis can easily be missed if a clinician is not aware of the syndrome. In one case, the computed tomography image of obstructed hemivagina with hematocolpos was initially mistaken for a cystic tumor of adnexa by the radiologist; in the other case, correct diagnosis was missed for years despite numerous visits to different hospitals due to lack of awareness of the syndrome.

The general improvement in life expectancy and standard of living makes it easier for patients to get access to routine medical exams and is anticipated to increase the prevalence of several degenerative joint illnesses. In addition, it is anticipated that their incidence will increase both nationally and internationally, which will raise the demand for novel and long-lasting implantable devices in the field of orthopedics. The current review’s goals are to define what constitutes a biocompatible orthopedic implant in terms of in vitro biocompatibility testing and to clarify important concepts and definitions that are already in use. The demand for materials and implants made of various tissues is now increasing, and the ongoing advancement of in vitro cell culture studies is a reliable practical tool for examining the biocompatibility of potential implantable materials. In vitro biocompatibility research has been reduced and, in most cases, diminished to laboratory studies that no longer or drastically reduce animal sacrifice as a response to the well-known three “Rs” (“reduction”, “refinement”, and “replacement”) introduced to literature by English academics in the 1960s. As technology advances at an astounding rate, a new generation of gene-activating biomaterials tailored for specific people and disease conditions might emerge in the near future.

Treatment of basilar artery trunk aneurysms is still challenging today, although numerous approaches and modalities of treatment exist. The authors present a case of a patient with a partially thrombosed, ruptured basilar trunk artery aneurysm successfully treated by clipping occlusion of the rupture point and multilayered wrapping of the aneurysmal dome. A 49-year-old man presented to our emergency room with a chief complaint of altered mental status. The patient was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). No apparent bleeding point was identified on initial 3-dimension computerized tomography (CT) angiography and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Follow-up DSA revealed a partially thrombosed saccular aneurysm emerging from the basilar trunk. We decided to treat the aneurysm surgically with partial clipping including the bleb and wrapping via the anterior transpetrosal approach. The surgery was performed successfully without any complications, and the residual blood flow within the aneurysm diminished remarkably over time. Although direct clipping and wrapping for basilar trunk artery aneurysms is one of the most challenging operations, it is a highly effective treatment for complex aneurysms, especially if other treatments are not available.

Adjacent segment problems after cervical spine instrumentation are widely reported. They can range from asymptomatic adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) noted on radiographs to symptomatic adjacent segment disease and even instability. While ASD following anterior instrumentation is well studied, there is a paucity of literature on ASD following posterior instrumentation. We intended to identify the risk factors associated with ASD following posterior instrumentation, focusing on pre-operative and surgical parameters. Eighty-seven patients who underwent posterior instrumentation of the cervical spine were recruited. Clinical and radiological examination was performed preoperatively and up to 24 months postoperatively. The collected data included patient demographics, indication for surgery, sagittal parameters (cervical lordosis, C2–7 sagittal-vertical axis), technique of surgery, number of levels instrumented and fused, number of levels decompressed, and the level at which the instrumentation ended. Based on postoperative evaluation, ASD was found in 29.9% of the patients, of which, one patient was symptomatic and required reoperation. Even though, according to our univariate analysis, reduced pre-operative cervical lordosis and the indication of degenerative spondylosis seemed to significantly influence the occurrence of ASD, multivariate regression analysis did not identify any independent risk factors. We also noted that, even though patients may develop ASD after the instrumented fusion of the cervical spine, this may not necessarily develop into symptomatic adjacent segment disease requiring revision surgery.

Laparoscopic surgery (LS) is a minimally invasive technique that offers many advantages over traditional open surgery: it reduces trauma, scarring, and shortens recovery time. However, an important limitation is the loss of tactile sensations. Although some progress has been made in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) setups, RMIS is still not widely accessible. This review aims to identify which tactile display technologies have been proposed and experimentally validated for the restoration of tactile sensations during conventional laparoscopic surgical tasks. We conducted a systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We identified relevant articles published over the past 10 years through a search on Web of science, Scopus, IEEE Xplore Digital, and PubMed repositories. A total of 143 articles met the inclusion criteria and 24 were included in the final review. From the reviewed articles, we classified the proposed tactile displays into two categories based on the use of skin contact: (i) skin tactile displays, which include vibrotactile, skin-indentation, and grip-feedback devices, and (ii) non-contact tactile displays based on visualization tools. This survey aims to contribute to further research in the area of tactile displays for laparoscopic surgery by providing a better understanding of the current state of the art and identifying the remaining challenges.

Here, we report a new surgical technique designed to increase filtration volume and reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma and its one-year outcome. Two tubes were created from a single Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BI) by folding the tube in a U-shape and incising only the outer edge of the stretched loop tip. The tubes were placed into the vitreous cavity via the pars plana through a long scleral tunnel, without a scleral valve or graft patch. Twenty eyes of 18 patients with neovascular glaucoma were included. This technique was performed in 10 eyes of 10 patients (double group), and outcomes were compared to 10 eyes of eight patients in which a single tube BI was inserted (single group). The primary outcome measures included IOP, supplemental medical therapy score (SMTS), and intraoperative and postoperative complications before and after surgery at 12 months. The mean IOP (SMTS) were 32.0 ± 11.33 mmHg (4.1) in the double group and 29.7 ± 6.31 mmHg (5.7) in the single group, preoperatively reduced to 11.8 ± 2.70 mmHg (0.2) (63% reduction, p < 0.004) and 14.2 ± 4.05 mmHg (1.1) (52% reduction, p < 0.002) after 12 months, respectively. SMTS showed 95% (p = 0.005) and 89% (p = 0.005) reductions, respectively. Although there was no significant difference in IOP between the two groups at 12 months (p = 0.16), there were significant differences in the SMTS between the two groups before, and 6 and 12 months after, surgery (p = 0.01, 0.04 and 0.04, respectively). A reduction in the SMTS suggests that increasing filtration volume by placing two tubes has the potential to further reduce IOP as compared with a single tube.

Background: Ventricular peritoneal shunting (VPS) is a frequent procedure in neurosurgery, unfortunately still burdened with a significant rate of complications. The frontal Kocher’s point is the most frequently used landmark for ventricular puncture. Keen’s point (posterior parietal approach) seems to be a valid alternative. We report a newly described access to the lateral ventricle located in posterior temporal area and the results of a large series of adult patients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a series of 188 cases of VPS performed with this approach. Results: Mean surgical time was 51.5 +/− 13.1 min (range 25–90 min). Twenty-one patients (11.2%) were subjected to revision surgery: eight cases (4.3%) for displacement or malfunction of ventricular catheter, eight cases (4.3%) for abdominal issues, three cases (1.6%) for hardware failure, and two cases (1.1%) for infection. Optimal catheter placement was reached in 90.1%. Conclusions: The modified Keen’s point approach seems to be safe, technically feasible, and reproducible, showing some potential advantages such as short surgical time, precision in ventricular catheter placement, and short tunneling tract. The need for surgical revision is similar to that reported in the literature, while the rate of catheter malpositioning and infections seems to be low; hemorrhages around catheter and seizures were not reported.

The atrophic edentulous maxilla is demanding for dental implant placement because of extensive resorption of the alveolar ridge after teeth loss and, consequently, the proximity of the anatomical structures, nasal cavity, and maxillary sinus. Treatment options are short implants, guided bone regeneration, onlay grafts, Le Fort I osteotomy with interpositional bone grafting, distraction osteogenesis, or nasal floor elevation. Nasal floor elevation is a method of augmentation of premaxilla by raising the base of the nose. The aim of this case report is to evaluate the success of implants placed after nasal floor elevation. A 75-year-old female patient came to the Clinical Department of Oral Surgery, University Hospital Centre Zagreb, unsatisfied with her complete removable denture. Clinical and radiological examination revealed severe maxillary alveolar ridge atrophy. Nasal floor elevation was made under local anesthesia through aperture piriformis and lateral window in the distal part. After eight months, four implants were placed and, after period of osseointegration, a bar-retained implant overdenture was made. This case report shows that nasal floor augmentation can be considered among the surgical techniques to allow implant-supported rehabilitation of the atrophic anterior maxilla.
由于牙齿缺失后牙槽嵴的广泛吸收，以及解剖结构、鼻腔和上颌窦的邻近性，萎缩的无牙上颌骨需要种植牙。治疗选择包括短植入物、引导性骨再生、嵌段移植物、Le Fort I截骨加定位间骨移植、牵引成骨或鼻底抬高。鼻底抬高是一种通过抬高鼻底来增大前颌骨的方法。本病例报告的目的是评估鼻底抬高后植入物的成功率。一位75岁的女性患者来到萨格勒布大学医院口腔外科临床部，对她的全口可摘义齿不满意。临床和放射学检查显示上颌骨牙槽嵴严重萎缩。鼻底抬高是在局部麻醉下通过梨状肌孔和远端侧窗进行的。八个月后，放置了四个种植体，经过一段时间的骨整合，制成了条形种植体覆盖义齿。该病例报告显示，鼻底扩大术可以被认为是一种手术技术，以实现萎缩的前上颌骨的植入支持康复。
