Background and study aims Z-POEM is now an established therapy for symptomatic Zenker's diverticulum (ZD). Short-term follow-up of up to 1-year post suggests excellent efficacy safety; however, long-term outcomes are not known. Thus, we sought report on longer-term (≥ 2 years) following treatment ZD. Patients methods This was International multicenter retrospective at eight institutions across North America, Europe, Asia over a 5-year period (from December 3, 2015 March 13, 2020) patients...
In low- and middle-income countries, poor access to care can result in delayed surgical repair of orofacial clefts leading functional outcomes. Even Brazil, an upper country with free comprehensive cleft care, commonly occurs. This study aims assess patient-perceived barriers at a referral center São Paulo.A 29-item questionnaire assessing the was administered 101 consecutive patients (or their guardians) undergoing surgery Plastic Surgery Department Hospital das Clínicas, Paulo, between...
Lipomas are uncommon tumors of the gastrointestinal tract; gastric lipomas account for <1% all encountered (Nickloes and Sutphin [1]). Giant lipomas, defined as ≥10 cm, exceedingly rare with only 6 cases reported since 1980 (Cappell et al., Termos Singh Ramaraj Rao Priyadarshi Neto al. [3–9]). We hereby present a case giant lipoma that became symptomatic seven years after its initial identification was excised preserving continuity. Our patient is 58-year-old African American male 3 cm mass...
Accurate localization of parathyroid adenomas allows for minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. This results in a shorter length stay and increased patient satisfaction. Preoperative Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi scans accurately localize 70 to 85 per cent cases. If has negative scan, it is logical believe that with preoperative injection, the gamma probe may fail help find an adenoma. We hypothesized would not be useful intraoperatively patients primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPTH) scan....
To determine the accuracy of ultrasound guidance compared to palpation in performing carpometacarpal joint injections cadavers.In all, 36 joints were randomized either ultrasound-guided or palpation-based injections, with 1 cc blue latex solution injected into each joint. The specimens then dissected and distribution was assessed by two independent, blinded raters. Injection evaluated on a four-point quartile rating scale 1-4, corresponding amount within (1 = 0-25%, 2 26-50%, 3 51-75%, 4...
Lack of providers in surgery, anesthesia, and obstetrics (SAO) is a primary driver limited surgical capacity worldwide. We aimed to identify predictors entry into Surgery, Anesthesia, Obstetrics Gynecology fields preference working the public sector Brazil which may help profiling medical students for recruitment these needed areas. A questionnaire was applied all Brazilian graduates registered with Board Medicine from 2014 2015. Twenty-three characteristics were analyzed. Logistic...
Adverse events from surgical care are a major cause of death and disability, particularly in low-and-middle-income countries. Metrics for quality developed high-income settings resource-intensive inappropriate most lower resource settings. The purpose this study was to apply assess the feasibility new tool measure resource-constrained settings.This is cross-sectional using novel evidence-based measurement low-resource adapted use at tertiary hospital Amazonas, Brazil resulting 14 metrics...
