Pelvic Autonomic Nerve Mapping Around the Prostate by Intraoperative Electrical Stimulation With Simultaneous Measurement of Intracavernous and Intraurethral Pressure
Purpose: In previous studies we noted that the neurovascular bundle was not identical to the bundle of the cavernous nerve fibers. In this study we sought to prove these anatomical findings electrophysiologically and map the autonomic nerve fibers by intraoperative simultaneous measurement of intracavernous pressure and intraurethral pressure. Materials and Methods: Between January 2004 and May ...

Intraoperative Identification and Monitoring of the Somatic Nerves Critical to Potency Preservation during da Vinci Prostatectomy
Background Since Walsh and Donker first introduced the anatomic nerve-sparing technique for retropubic radical prostatectomy1 (RRP) in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer, the importance of minimizing damage to the neurovascular bundle (NVB) has been recognized as a critical element for the preservation of potency and urinary continence post-prostatectomy. Although originally ...

Variability in Nerve Location During da Vinci Prostatectomy
Objectives Preservation of nerves during da Vinci prostatectomy (dVP) has been clinically proven to be critical to preservation of urinary function and surgeon perception has been shown to be a poor predictor of nerve location during dVP. Despite this evidence, opinions still vary on the ability of surgeons to use anatomic landmarks to accurately identify these nerves during dVP and to ...

The New Guidelines For Interventional Oncology - And How Micromate™ Seamlessly Fits Into Them
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. Although immunotherapy specialists devised ingenious ways to use the patients’ own immune system to better ...

Surgical management of an infected external iliac artery interposition graft with a bioengineered human acellular vessel
ABSTRACT Infection of prosthetic vascular grafts can manifest as pain, pseudoaneurysms, or arterial insufficiency in the leg. We present the case of a female patient with a medical history of a right external iliac artery endofibrosis, with a persistently infected synthetic iliofemoral bypass graft, which we replaced with a bioengineered human acellular vessel. At the 12-month follow-up visit, ...

Optical vs EM tracking in Neuronavigation
Computer-aided surgery is used in a daily clinical workflow for safer surgical interventions. Navigation systems work based on a tracking model, which helps in the correlation of a patient’s coordinates to the preoperative or intraoperative digital medical imagery. There are two main types of navigation systems available in the market today. They are the infrared (optical) systems and ...

Leaflet Dimensions as a Guide to Remodeling Annuloplasty During Aortic Valve Repair
Abstract Objective: In chronic aortic insufficiency (AI), the method and degree of annular downsizing required to achieve durable coaptation in aortic valve repair (AVr) remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the relationship between leaflet size and annular diameter to predict adequate annular sizing in remodeling AVr. Methods: Under regulatory supervision, 74 patients with chronic ...

Dynamic Surgical Guidance to Facilitate Dental Implant Placement
The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) with VeraForm: Marking for Variability
Radiation therapy choices vary for comprehensive breast cancer treatment. One such option, intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is employed in many centers around the country. IORT using the Zeiss® Intrabeam® System has been proven to be non-inferior to External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) in local recurrence and disease-free survival. IORT’s advantage is one treatment during ...

Controlling Intraoperative Hemorrhage During Burn Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing NuStat Hemostatic Dressing to the Historic Standard of Care
Introduction: One of the primary intraoperative challenges during burn surgery is to adequately excise the burn while avoiding massive hemorrhage. This has become increasingly important, as we see more burn patients that are older and with more medical comorbidities. While adequate excision down to healthy tissues for deep burns is essential for skin graft to take, it also leads to active ...
