A prospective randomized trial involving 64 patients with bleeding peptic ulcers was performed to assess the efficacy of two modalities injection therapy. The inclusion criterion presence active or a visible vessel at emergency endoscopy. Thirty-two were treated epinephrine (Group A) and 32 plus thrombin B). Permanent hemostasis achieved in 81.3 % Group A, 84.4 B patients, therapy failures occurred 18.6 15.6 %, respectively. Mortality nil both groups. There no differences requirement for...
The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) is expected to provide surgical care a diverse patient population across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). To improve the quality-of-care individuals receive, workforce must reflect it serves. Achieving diversity within RACS will strengthen therapeutic relationships with patients promote an inclusive culture. This study investigates perspectives underrepresented minority (URM) trainees highlight barriers for selection completion Surgical...
Background: Thoracic extension of Pseudomyxoma peritonei can occur via trans-diaphragmatic spread abdominal disease.Cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative intrapleural chemotherapy may prolong survival in an otherwise terminal condition.We evaluate the long-term outcomes patients undergoing thoracic cytoreductive and intrathoracic for pleural peritonei.Methods: All who underwent heated PMP were identified from our prospectively compiled registry.Peri operative reviewed long term results...
Traumatic tricuspid valve injury is rare, accounting for 0.02% of traumatic injuries. The majority cases result from blunt force trauma to the chest, however penetrating injuries have been documented in literature. Patients' can be full spectrum disease, asymptomatic cardiogenic shock. Indications surgery include right heart failure or evidence volume overload setting significant regurgitation. Early surgical repair warranted preserve ventricular function. Surgery also needs planned...
Mycotic aneurysms are rare but potentially catastrophic. We report a case of an innominate artery pseudoaneurysm in 4-year-old patient that caused tracheoinnominate fistula requiring tracheoplasty with costal cartilage graft and homograft iliac replacement the diseased artery, successful outcome.
The aim of this study was to identify the degree awareness current guidelines and common practices for pleural drain insertion.A 10-item questionnaire sent electronically junior physicians from 4 different hospitals in South Eastern Sydney Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District. Participants were asked give their level experience management chest total 94 medical officers district completed survey. More than 20% had never inserted a at time; 72% primarily learned bedside teaching peer...
Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a complication of acute myocardial infarction and associated with systemic thromboembolism. We describe trans-aortic endoscopic approach to the removal an LV in patient undergoing concurrent coronary artery bypass grafting aortic valve replacement.
