Abstract Conventional wound dressings are difficult to apply large total body surface area (TBSA) wounds, as they typically prefabricated, require a layer of adhesive coating for fixation, and need frequent replacement entrapped exudate. Large TBSA wounds well orthopedic trauma low‐resource surgery also have high risk infection. In this report, sprayable intrinsically dressing loaded with antimicrobial silver is investigated that provides personalized fabrication minimal patient contact. The...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) utilizes the pattern of a laser to determine blood flow in tissues. The current approaches for its use clinical setting require camera system with source on separate optical axis making it unsuitable minimally invasive surgery (MIS). With visualization, bowel viability, example, can be determined. Thus, LSCI valuable tool gastrointestinal surgery. In this work, we develop first-of-its-kind dual-display laparoscopic vision integrating commercially...
Viscoelastic blends of biodegradable polyesters with low and high molecular weight distributions have remarkably strong adhesion (significantly greater than 1 N/cm2) to soft, wet tissue. Those that transition from viscous flow elastic, solidlike behavior at approximately Hz demonstrate pressure-sensitivity yet also sufficient elasticity for durable bonding The pressure-sensitive tissue adhesive (PSTA) produce increasingly stronger pull-apart in response compressive pressure application, 10...
Pressure-sensitive adhesives typically used for bandages are nonbiodegradable, inhibiting healing, and may cause an allergic reaction. Here, we investigated the effect of biodegradable copolymers with promising thermomechanical properties on wound healing their eventual use as biodegradable, biocompatible adhesives. Blends low molecular weight (LMW) high (HMW) poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) tissue in comparison to a clinical control. Wounds treated PLCL blend heal completely similar...
Intraoperative imaging, such as ultrasound, provides subsurface anatomical information not seen by standard laparoscopy. Currently, from the two modalities may only be integrated in surgeon's mind, an often distracting and inefficient task. The desire to improve intraoperative efficiency has guided development of a novel, augmented reality (AR) laparoscopic system that integrates, real time, ultrasound (LUS) images with video. This study shows initial application this for hepatic wedge...
Abstract Background Despite guideline recommendations, some patients still receive care inappropriate for their clinical stage of disease. Identification factors that contribute to variation in base may help eradicate disparities the treatment early and locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods The American College Surgeons National Cancer Database from 2010 2015 was analyzed with propensity score weighting identify associated delivery omission neoadjuvant guideline‐based chemoradiation (GBC)...
Background and Objectives Ureters are at risk of injury in settings inflammation distorted anatomy. The use a fluorescent dye can improve intraoperative ureteral identification without the need for any additional invasive procedures. Our team has previously described development preclinical ureter‐specific dye, UL‐766, tested rat model. Here, we present during laparoscopy to assist swine model with an inflamed abdomen; results this study serve as proof feasibility setting tissue edema...
Certain technical criteria must be met to ensure the treatment safety of magnetic resonance–guided high‐intensity focused ultrasound. We retrospectively reviewed how our enrollment were applied from 2014 2017 in a clinical trial ultrasound ablation recurrent malignant and locally aggressive benign solid tumors. Among 36 screened patients between 2017, more than one‐third excluded for exclusion such as anatomic location proximity prosthetics. Overall, difficult accrue this trial, given...
Small bowel Crohn's disease classically presents with symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss in the pediatric population. However, there is no published literature on its presentation associated a dystrophically calcified pelvic mass. We present case 15-year-old female presenting four weeks inflammatory (IBD) as well large mass suggestive chronic, organized process versus calcifying fibrous tumor.
