Cardiac revascularization surgery has a long history. Its results and safety are well known. Nonetheless, the long-term patency rate of certain grafts used in cardiac revascularization is non-optimal, and CABG is associated with a risk of cerebrovascular stroke due to aortic manipulation. We have developed a simple control quality protocol of the anastomosis performed in CABG, aiming to improve the long-term patency of certain grafts used in cardiac revascularization surgery and reduce the risk of cerebrovascular stroke in those patients.

This paper describes the use of the Neurosign 100 Nerve Monitor and vagus nerve stimulation in the identification and assessment of the integrity of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) during thyroid and parathyroid surgery.Vocal fold function was assessed pre- and post-operatively in all patients undergoing thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The nerve monitor, used in association with endotracheal electrodes, was used to confirm correct RLN identification and demonstrate its integrity at the completion of surgery.There were 21 unilateral and 19 bilateral neck explorations. In these 40 patients, 57 of 59 RLNs were identified. The nerve monitor demonstrated RLN continuity in all but one case (equipment failure: electrode misplacement) after initial identification. Vagus nerve stimulation was performed in 21 patients without adverse sequelae. Damage to the RLN was identified in one of these patients, in whom direct RLN stimulation close to the larynx had failed to indicate discontinuity. Post-operatively this patient had a transient unilateral vocal fold palsy.The use of the Neurosign 100 Nerve Monitor is no substitute for meticulous surgery. Stimulation of the vagus nerve may be a more sensitive means of assessing RLN integrity during thyroid and parathyroid surgery than stimulation of the RLN itself. Confirmation of RLN integrity allows the surgeon to proceed with confidence to the contralateral side of the neck during hazardous bilateral explorations.

While knee injury-related pain and functional limitations are common in the physically active, the impact on general health is not well documented. Further, it is not known how much these outcomes differ among individuals that did or did not have surgery following the knee injury, as well as compared to those without knee injury history. We examined differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and general health among patients after knee surgery, knee injury that did not require surgery, and healthy controls. Knee surgery participants reported higher body mass index and lower SF-8 physical component scores than knee nonsurgery and control (p < .001 all comparisons) groups. Knee nonsurgery participants had lower SF-8 physical component scores (p = .01) than control participants. Patients after knee surgery report more adverse health effects than those with nonsurgically treated knee injuries.

This article describes different ways of using laser technology in different fields of science. In biology, lasers are used to study the microstructure of cells, their organelles (living cells and their preparations). In medicine they are used for a special type of surgery. With the development of lasers, they have become safer, easier to use. Technologies for the use of lasers in medicine have also improved to such a level that they cause almost no complications after their application.

The aim of this study was to explore the usefulness of unilateral, combined unilateral (left + right), and bilateral peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) measurements in assessing the results of nasal septal surgery. Nasal obstruction was recorded subjectively and objectively before and 4 months after nasal septoplasty using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and a PNIF meter. Nasal septoplasty (58 patients) and septoplasty with turbinoplasty (68 patients) were performed on 126 patients (85 males; 41 females) with a mean age of 32.8 years. The results showed a significant improvement in VAS scores, as well as unilateral, combined unilateral, and bilateral PNIF values after both septoplasty and septoplasty with turbinoplasty. Septoplasty with turbinoplasty showed better improvement in VAS and PNIF scores than septoplasty alone and this was significant for bilateral PNIF scores. The best unilateral pre- and postoperative correlations between VAS and PNIF measurements were found using the lower of the two unilateral PNIF scores, irrespective of side. In the total material, VAS/PNIF correlations were mostly significant, but weak (all r<0.30). We found VAS and PNIF to be useful instruments in reporting results of surgery. The weak correlations between VAS and PNIF measurements suggest that these subjective and objective instruments may target different aspects of nasal obstruction.

AbstractObjective:Questionnaires are often used to assess the results of nasal septoplasty, but response rates vary widely. The possible bias caused by non-responders was evaluated to determine the validity of questionnaire results.Methods:Post-operative questionnaires employing visual analogue scales for nasal obstruction were mailed to 182 patients. The 62 non-responders (34.1 per cent) were contacted by telephone, 58 (93.5 per cent) of whom were contactable and responded orally to the questionnaire.Results:Non-responders were younger, but no different from responders with regard to gender, smoking habits or allergies. Post-operative visual analogue scale obstruction scores were slightly, but not statistically, higher in non-responders. However, because non-responders’ pre-operative scores were lower, obstruction scores improved less than in responders. The main reason for not responding was forgetfulness. Some would have preferred an electronic version of the questionnaire.Conclusion:Although post-operative obstruction scores did not differ between the groups, nasal obstruction scores improved more among responders than non-responders. Thus, low response rates may cause bias.

AbstractObjectiveThis study evaluated the effect of mail non-response on the validity of the results of nasal septal surgery.MethodSix months post-operatively, questionnaires with both prospective and retrospective ratings were mailed to patients. Patients who did not respond (non-responders) were contacted by telephone. This study compared two cohorts of patients using different interviewers (a nurse and a surgeon). Cohort one consisted of 182 patients (with 67 per cent mail response), and cohort two consisted of 454 patients (with 64.8 per cent mail response).ResultsIn both cohorts, the improvement in obstruction scores was significantly better among mail responders than among non-responders (telephone interviewees) using prospective ratings, but worse using retrospective ratings.ConclusionMail responders had better improvement in nasal obstruction after septoplasty than non-responders. Therefore, low response rates may cause an overestimation of the results. The retrospective ratings obtained through telephone interviews are less reliable because they are influenced by memory and the patients’ tendency to give socially acceptable answers.
