To analyse ambulatory movements and team dynamics during robot-assisted surgery (RAS), to investigate whether congestion of the physical space associated with robotic technology led workflow challenges or predisposed errors adverse events.With institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed 10 recorded radical prostatectomies in a single operating room (OR). The OR was divided into eight zones, all were tracked described terms start end duration, personnel purpose. Movements...
Objective To investigate cognitive and mental workload assessments, which may play a critical role in defining successful mentorship. Materials Methods The ‘Mind Maps’ project aimed at evaluating function with regard to surgeon's expertise trainee's skills. study included electroencephalogram ( EEG ) recordings of mentor observing trainee surgeons 20 procedures involving extended lymph node dissection eLND or urethrovesical anastomosis UVA ), simultaneous assessment trainees using the...
Castleman's disease is a rare disorder, yet rarer newly described syndrome called TAFRO was discovered to accompany it. represents the constellation of symptoms (Thrombocytopenia, Anasarca, MyeloFibrosis, Renal failure, Organomegaly). Most cases were in Japan. We present first case Syria. A 58-year-old Caucasian male with no relevant history presented fatigue, oliguria, decreased platelets, increased creatinine level, hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, pitting edema and lymph node enlargement....
Background: Liver resection is a major operation requires technical training and experience expensive for the health care system. Aim: Our aim was to review trends in liver Syria help our country others like understand hardships country’s policy. Methods: We analyzed retrospectively results of 95 patients who underwent from January 2009 through December 2015 at tertiary university hospital Damascus. Results: The number annual resections increased over this 6 year period, but there were...
Background: Liver resection is the only viable therapeutic treatment option for several neoplastic entities of liver. Although, number resectable patients increasing in Syria, liver failure still a major complication affecting mortality and morbidity rates. Methods: Between 2009 2016, 104 undergoing Damascus University Faculty Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. function tests conducted before surgery (ps) perioperative period (po) comparisons performed with division into anatomic VS...
Communication gaps have been systematically linked to failures during surgery; however few studies addressed challenges related the remoteness of surgeon robot-assisted surgery (RAS). While on team communication in Operating Room (OR) rarely report nonverbal aspects, our initial work has shown that vast majority interaction events between console and right bed side assistant is nonverbal. This study focuses improving understanding nature multimodal interactions surgeons assistants. Six...
Hydatidosis is a major health problem around the world, especially in Mediterranean region. Cysts can break open or develop secondary bacterial infections, altering clinical presentation.Patients who underwent hydatid cyst surgery at Al-Mouassat University Hospital Damascus, Syria between January 2006 and December 2017 were evaluated. Cases involving isolated hepatic cysts excluded. The patients divided into those with perforated (group 1) intact 2).This study included 224 cases: 113 group 1...
Tuberculosis (TB) has been one of the most devastating diseases to humanity in recent decades; although pulmonary infection is common, any other organ familiar as well. Colon cancer another disease affecting gastrointestinal (GI) system and mostly targets people over 50. Only a few studies mentioned co-existence TB occurring at same place time. Hence, authors report rare case concurrent ascending colon adenocarcinoma colonic TB.
Hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic caused by
Bladder exstrophy (BE) is a rare congenital anomaly in which the anterior wall of bladder absent. In females, sexuality and fertility may be negatively affected with association pubic diastasis, dysplasia pelvic floor muscles, clitoris bifurcated, short vagina or narrow introitus.
Introduction and importance: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis infection is still one of the most common causes morbidity mortality worldwide. TB usually infects lungs, but it can affect other organs. Hepatic involvement occurs with disseminated disease whereas isolated hepatic extremely rare. Case presentation: We present a case female patient who had to undergo major surgery due delayed diagnosis TB. It suffered from recurrent abdominal abscesses general symptoms for period time. clinical...
Young male gymnasts are a frequently injured, yet infrequently studied population. Literature on gymnastics injuries has focused primarily female at elite and collegiate levels. Gymnastics equipment, rules, training methods have continued to evolve over the past few decades so previous data likely does not reflect current injury patterns. Our study aimed provide description of patterns for contemporary club-level, pre-collegiate gymnasts.This was retrospective chart review 163 from 84...
Iodine has always been connected to thyroid gland, and the fact that tissue traps, organificates stores iodine more than other tissues is well known, hence use of radioiodine as a diagnostic therapeutic tool for disorders. However, false-positive cases do occur. We present case 34-year-old patient who underwent total thyroidectomy papillary carcinoma. Results follow up TSH, thyroglobulin antibody tests after surgery lead two rounds radioactive iodine. After that, whole-body scan showed high...
Pancreaticoduodenectomy is still one of the biggest and high complicated surgeries. It has morbidity mortality rates. liver receives its blood supply from hepatic artery a branch celiac trunk However variations are not rare. We present case 60-year-old patient who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for ampulla tumor in which there were some rear anomalies. Angiographic CT after procedure confirmed absence trunk, left gastric, splenic arising aorta directly common superior mesenteric artery....

Abstract Background Although pathological factors remain the main determinate of survival for patients with bladder cancer, quality surgical care is crucial satisfactory outcomes. Using a validated score, we investigated impact on overall (OS), recurrence-free (RFS) and disease-specific (DSS) in locally advanced organ-confined disease (OCD). Retrospective review IRCC database includes 2460 from 29 institutions across 11 countries. The final cohort included 1343 who underwent RARCs between...
