La operación de Collis-Nissen se propone como técnica de elección en pacientes con acortamiento esofágico. Se ha realizado un estudio prospectivo en 32 pacientes intervenidos consecutivamente de Collis-Nissen vía laparoscópica o abierta, con una edad media de 70 años y que presentaban grandes hernias hiatales o recidivadas. Se realizó seguimiento clínico, radiológico, endoscópico y de calidad de vida con cuestionarios validados, durante los primeros 12 meses postoperatorios. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un buen control de síntomas, así como mejora de la calidad de vida, manteniendo una aceptable recidiva anatómica del 12,5% a corto plazo, sin que ello afecte la morbi-mortalidad.

El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue determinar la eficacia y seguridad del uso de mallas sintéticas profilácticas en laparotomías urgentes para la prevención de hernia incisional y evisceración. Planteamos un estudio retrospectivo de datos informatizados de 266 pacientes sometidos a laparotomía media urgente durante dos años. Se analizaon las complicaciones postoperatorias y la incidencia de hernia incisional según el tipo de cierre de pared. Podemos concluir que el uso de malla profiláctica sintética en laparotomía urgente es factible para la prevención de hernias incisionales sin añadir de forma significativa morbilidad al procedimiento incluso en terrenos contaminados y/o infectados.

Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is a novel, potentially less invasive alternative to laparoscopic surgery. However, the problems of transluminal access and closure represent significant obstacles to its successful introduction in humans. Objective: to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel device designed for transluminal access and closure in a survival porcine model. Subjects: Four adult female Yorkshire pigs were used in the study. Interventions: While under general anesthesia, the animals were prepared with multiple tap water enemas followed by instillation of an antibiotic suspension and povidone-iodine lavage. At a distance of 15 to 20 cm from the anus, the prototype device (LSI Solutions, Victor, NY, USA) deployed a circumscribing purse-string suture around the planned incision site and subsequently used a blade mechanism to create a 2.5-cm linear incision. The transcolonic incision was then closed by cinching and securing the purse-string suture with a titanium knot by use of a separate hand-activated suture-locking device. Main Outcome Measurements: The animals were monitored daily for signs of peritonitis and sepsis and were survived for 14 days. The peritoneal cavity was examined for peritonitis, and the colonic incision site was examined for wound dehiscence, pericolic abscess formation, and gross adhesions. Tissue samples from both incisional and random peritoneal sites were obtained for histologic examination. Results: Transcolonic incision and closure were successful in all 4 animals. The device performed in a rapid and reproducible fashion. All animals recovered without septic complications. At necropsy, there was no evidence of peritonitis, abscesses, or wound dehiscence. Salpingocolonic and colovesicular adhesions were noted in 3 of 4 animals. Histologic examination revealed microabscesses at the incision site in all animals. Conclusions: The prototype incision and closure device represents a promising solution to the problems of transluminal access for NOTES. The presence of incision-related adhesions and microabscesses signal the need for further refinement in aseptic technique.

We would like to add a comment on another important contribution of Arthur Keithto the Weld of herniology, that is, the original and accuratedescription of the inguinal “shutter” mechanism, a remarkableanatomic action against development of an inguinal hernia. [...] Today, virtual reality surgicalsimulation models allowing three-dimensional (3D) visualizationof the human inguinal anatomy can be used as a complementary tool to assess dynamics of the inguinal area. In fact, using simulations with the Wnite elementmethod we have recently confirmed the physiological “shutter” mechanism already described almost 100 years ago. These virtual reality Wndings are our presenttribute to the outstanding anatomic descriptions of ArthurKeith.

El dolor post-operatori és un dels problemes més importants que segons la OMS afecta als pacients intervinguts quirúrgicament i el que més els preocupa. Any rere any hi ha un increment del nombre de pacients intervinguts per Cirurgia Major ambulatòria al nostre país de manera que ha de ser el mateix usuari i la família els que facilitin les cures als pacients al propi domicili. Aquest estudi planteja si introduir intervencions educatives al servei disminueix el dolor post-operatori dels usuaris Objectiu general: Dissenyar un programa d’informació que realitzarà infermeria dirigit als cuidadors i pacients del servei de CMA i que han de ser intervinguts de hèrnia engonal. Avaluar l’eficiència del mateix programa educatiu. Metodologia: l’àmbit d’estudi d’aquest treball serà les unitats de Cirurgia Major ambulatòria de qualsevol centre de Catalunya. Es realitzarà un estudi comparatiu quantitatiu entre dos grups independents integrants per 30 participants en cadascun d’ells (total de 60 participants). Grupo A: protocol habitual de la unitat Grup B: intervenció educativa dissenyada Els participants seran pacients majors d’edat, que compleixen els requisits per ser intervinguts per Cirurgia Major Ambulatòria de Hèrnia inguinal. El participant ha de fer-ho amb un familiar responsable de les seves cures. Es realitzaran 3 enquestes al pacient i 3 al familiar responsable de les cures, la primera a les 24 hores després de la intervenció, la segona a la setmana i l’última a les 2 setmanes. Limitacions de l’estudi: en cas de que el pacient que ha de formar part de l’estudi requereixi ingrés hospitalari per alguna complicació durant la cirurgia el pacient deixa de participar en l’estudi automàticament. En cas que el pacient o familiar no contestin al telèfon el dia i l’hora pactada prèviament també deixarà de formar part de la investigació. Per aquest motiu es tindran 10 pacients de reserva per si calgués reemplaçar el subjecte d’estudi.

Introduction: A study is made of the principal characteristics of the oral lesions biopsied in our Service of Oral Surgery and histologically diagnosed as corresponding to fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillas. Patients and methods: A retrospective review was made of all the biopsies made in a Service of Oral Surgery between 1996 and 2003. The reason for consultation was analyzed, along with patient age, sex, clinical and radiological characteristics, tentative diagnosis, histological diagnosis and treatment provided. Results: A total of 1238 biopsies were performed during the study period. Of these, only 11 corresponded to benign fibro-osseous lesions (7 women and 4 men). The mean patient age was 44 years (range 19-72 years). The most frequent location was the mandible (8 of the cases). In 7 patients the lesions constituted casual radiological findings; 4 presented bulging of the vestibular cortical bone, though only one of them reported pain. The histological diagnoses comprised 7 cemento-ossifying fibromas and 4 fibrous dysplasias. In 9 cases surgical resection was carried out, while in one case an incisional biopsy was performed, and in the remaining case curettage was decided. Discussion: These lesions are more frequent in women than in men, and the age at presentation is variable. In terms of lesion location, fibrous dysplasia is more common in the upper maxilla, while cemento-ossifying fibroma is more frequently found in the mandible. The diagnosis of such lesions is established upon contrasting the data obtained from the anamnesis, physical examination, the radiological characteristics, the intraoperative findings and the histological study, since both disorders have similar clinical and histological features- despite the fact that they constitute distinct disease conditions.

Multiple myeloma is a monoclonal malignant proliferation of plasma cells that causes osteolytic lesions in the vertebrae, ribs, pelvic bone, skull and jaw. We report on a clinical case of an 81-year-old male patient who presented with a tumefaction in the mandibular symphysis region, which had evolved over the previous seven months. In the radiographic examination, an extensive osteolytic lesion was observed in the region mentioned above. An incisional biopsy was performed and a histopathological study revealed a malignant hematopoietic neoplasm formed by plasmacytoid cells. During the bone gammagraphy a dissemination of the disease was detected in the scapula, clavicle and ribs. The diagnosis was multiple myeloma. Knowledge about the maxillofacial manifestations of multiple myeloma is important for the early diagnosis of the disease, since its primary form can manifest itself in the jaw. In the clinical case presented here, we highlight the interdisciplinarity needed to obtain a diagnosis and treatment of multiple myeloma

La malformación congénita conocida como Espina Bífida se caracteriza por la ausencia de fusión de la línea media posterior de la columna vertebral produciéndose una hernia del contenido del conducto vertebral (médula, meninges y raíces nerviosas). Este síndrome compromete múltiples sistemas del organismo, debiéndose tratar por un equipo multidisciplinar. A nivel del pie se producen deformidades tanto flácidas como espásticas con déficit motores radiculares (55%). Estos problemas estructurales provocaran alteraciones biomecánicas severas con sobrecargas a nivel plantar (33%). Si a esto añadimos alteraciones radiculares sensitivas, con insensibilidad en piernas y pies (60%), nos encontramos ante un paciente de riesgo susceptible de tratamientos preventivos y curativos podológicos. Las probabilidades de padecer una úlcera neuropática son grandes y el Podólogo debe prevenir o, en el peor de los casos, tratar el mal perforante plantar de una forma interdisciplinar. Preventivamente realizaremos quiropodias periódicas y exploración de sensibilidades, tanto exteroceptivas como propioceptivas. A nivel podológico trataremos de una forma integral la úlcera neuropática, incluyendo los drenajes y las"toilettes" quirúrgicas, y realizaremos tratamientos ortopodológicos complejos. En esta comunicación presentamos un caso típico de paciente afecto de Espina Bífida con alteraciones biomecánicas severas y úlcera con recorrido fistuloso, al cual realizamos un drenaje y confeccionamos una férula supramaleolar interna unilateral para redistribuir las presiones y evitar las sobrecargas.
