Timely and safe elective health care facilitates return to normal activities for patients prevents emergency admissions. Surgery is a cornerstone of relies on complex pathways. This study aimed take whole-system approach evaluating access quality globally, using inguinal hernia as tracer condition.
Several studies previously demonstrated an improvement in the quality of life (QoL) patients undergoing a minimally invasive repair pectus excavatum, but there are no data about such following carinatum (PC) deformity. The purpose this study was to investigate effects PC deformity on psychosocial and physical functioning patients.Among 40 who underwent for from July 2008 March 2011, 35 accepted answer QoL questionnaires, 30 them had completed postoperative 6th month were evaluated study....
The experiences of trauma patients referred from Ghanaian non-tertiary hospitals for definitive care at higher levels is not well-known. Understanding the motivations injured who do attend their referral management may inform interventions to improve injury outcomes. This study a follow-up survey participants larger involving initial presenting 8 in Ghana October 2020 March 2022. Injured were surveyed by phone using structured questionnaire and could be reached excluded. main outcome was...
the use of flexible bronchoscopy in developing countries is limited. We report our initial experience and outcome with at Tamale Teaching Hospital Ghana. This first reported case series Ghana.a retrospective review patients who had from 2017-2019 was analyzed. Patient demographics outcomes were summarized using frequency distribution percentages.we performed bronchoscopies 33 mean age 43 years. All symptomatic time presentation most common symptoms being chest pain (63.6%), dyspnea (57.6%)...
We have used Oki stents for a number of different indications. After discovering that there are limited reports in the literature on these stents, we were motivated to share our experiences stenting.While is vast knowledge double Y-stents, stent relatively recent development pulmonology. Here, demonstrate stenting right secondary carina using an should be considered obstructions this region.We placed 13 mm × 10 9 six patients under general anesthesia via rigid bronchoscopy.Three cases...
Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a common preventable cause of death among children between ages 1-3 years. A rare case an aspirated sharp metallic object in 4-year-old boy that migrated from the left lung to GIT after year presented bronchoscopy and thoracotomy failed retrieve it.A with cough aspirating sewing machine needle. He was stable normal chest findings. Previous attempts done CT revealed foreign lower lobe. FB could not be palpated nor visualized intraoperatively. Flexible also...
Frequent reassessment of injured patients is an important component trauma and emergency care. How frequently such done in African hospitals has been minimally addressed. We sought to address this gap, as well assess the effectiveness a standardized intake form (TIF) improve assessment rates. undertook stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial with research assistants observing care before after introducing TIF at units eight non-tertiary Ghanaian for 17.5 months. Differences seven key...
Exposure of the distal esophagus can be achieved by a wide variety surgical approaches. The standard procedure is mostly laparoscopy. In cases where laparoscopy relatively contraindicated, thoracoscopy preferred. this case, exposure from aorta, heart and lung technically challenging using in right lateral decubitus position. Surgery prone position for esophageal cancer has been successfully described previous literature. We present our experience with left-sided three patients benign...
Endoscopic treatment methods for achalasia has moderate success management of but it is known that either repeated attempts are needed over time or patients resort to surgery. Scar tissue and anatomical disruptions induced by balloon dilatation may make surgery more risky affect outcomes. In this study we analyzed patient reported outcomes primary versus after endoscopic treatment. Patients who underwent standard care diagnostic work-up between 2007 2012 were assigned into two groups: Group...
Objectives: Minimally invasive repair of pectus carinatum (MIRPC) has become an alternative technique to open surgery in recent years due successful surgical outcomes. The aim this study was investigate the results MIRPC at our institute. Methods: Ninety patients who had between January 2006 and March 2013 were included evaluated retrospectively according demographics, shape deformity, number presternal bars, operation duration, perioperative postoperative complications, length hospital...
Synchronous bronchial carcinoid tumor and giant bullae are rare entities. In this article, we report a 62-year-old male presenting with dyspnea, cough chest pain. No improvement was achieved medical treatment. Examinations revealed right lower lobe endobronchial upper bullae. Simultaneous bullectomy bronchotomy resection through thoracotomy, as well postoperative tracheostomy were performed. The patient who had 2 lt/ minute oxygen discharged on the 16 th day without any complication....
Vascular dissection during minimally invasive surgery is difficult to teach and needs significant experience with lesser procedures. We designed a novel model for vascular assessed the progress of thoracic residents in training program. An artificial lung vessel environment was formed using yellow scrub sponge, dark coloured balloon creamy adhesive product. Small tunnels were inside sponges adhesives injected inside. The balloons then placed these tunnels. filled water training. fixed VATS...
Background: Endoscopic treatment (ET) methods for achalasia such as balloon dilatation and botulinum toxin injection has good success short medium term management of achalasia.However some patients either need repeat attempts or referred to surgery.In this study we analyzed compared the perioperative disease specific quality life outcomes who underwent surgery a first line ones ET method prior surgery. Materials Methods:The standard care diagnostic workup by same surgical team between 2007...
