Young children with medically refractory very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) sometimes benefit from ileostomy diversion alone or may be offered subtotal colectomy with ileostomy. Tho...
Over the course of the past 6 months, eight consecutive children with VEO-IBD underwent 10 creation or revision of a diverting ileostomy (two underwent subsequent colectomy with ileostomy revision). I...
No patient who underwent plication of bowel has developed ileostomy prolapse. There were no cases of ileostomy retraction, parastomal hernia or ostomy-level obstruction. One patient required a lysis o...
Simple bowel plication appears to be a quick and effective way to prevent ileostomy prolapse in young children with VEO-IBD with an ileostomy who are at high risk for prolapse....
Mitral valve (MV) prolapse is highly prevalent in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). Abnormal left ventricular geometry has been proposed as the main mechanism of MV prolapse in ASD, however, t...
We evaluated 99 patients (73% female, median age 40 years) with ASD who underwent a three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiogram. Three-dimensional analysis of the MV was done using dedicated auto...
MV prolapse was found in 39% of patients. Although smaller left ventricular dimensions and greater interatrial shunt were found in patients with MV prolapse compared with those without prolapse, there...
In patients with ASD, the main mechanism of MV prolapse is the presence of an organic primary process of the MV apparatus (excessive anterior mitral leaflet tissue and mitral annular enlargement)....
Bowel vaginoplasty is a surgical method for neovagina construction that, despite its advantages over other techniques, is still burdened by complications such as prolapse. The incidence of sigmoid neo...
A 73-year-old woman presented with stage III prolapse of her sigmoid neovagina constructed 51 years prior. Dynamic pelvic MRI revealed that the majority of the prolapse was due to the mucosa's loss of...
After PROSPERO Registration (CRD42023400677), a systematic search of Medline and Scopus was performed using specific search terms. Study metadata including patient demographics, prolapse measurements,...
Our review shows that the recurrence after correction of sigmoid neovagina prolapses is higher than previously reported. Laparoscopy colposacropexy appeared to be the best approach, but it's not alway...
The relation between ventricular arrhythmia and fibrosis in mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is reported, but underlying valve-induced mechanisms remain unknown. We evaluated the association between abnorm...
We studied 113 patients with MVP with both echocardiogram and gadolinium cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for myocardial fibrosis. Two-dimensional and speckle-tracking echocardiography evaluated mit...
Myocardial fibrosis was observed in 43 patients with MVP, predominantly in the basal-midventricular inferior-lateral wall and papillary muscles. Patients with MVP with fibrosis had greater mitral regu...
Basal inferior-posterior myocardial fibrosis in MVP is associated with abnormal MVP-related myocardial mechanics, which are potentially associated with ventricular arrhythmia. These associations sugge...
In 2019, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended discussion of all primary prolapse cases at a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting prior to surgery. However, follo...
A total of 100 consecutive patients with primary prolapse, who had already been through face-to-face MDT meetings in 2019, were subjected to remote paper (independent review by team members, who then ...
In 88% of cases, face-to-face MDT meetings agreed to proceed unchanged (4% minor amendment, 7% major amendment, 1% insufficient information). This compared with 80% at virtual MDT (5% minor amendment,...
Multidisciplinary team discussion changes management in a minority of primary prolapse cases. Similar MDT decisions are produced by virtual and remote paper formats, although the latter had the lowest...
Background This study assessed risk factors for mitral regurgitation (MR) recurrence or functional mitral stenosis during long-term follow-up in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for isolated po...
We report an extremely rare case of a right Bochdalek hernia with a sac, in which the retroperitoneal and intra-abdominal organs prolapsed into the thoracic cavity at the same time. The patient was a ...
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is an etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of the underlying disease are of great significance. Herein, we present a rare case of MVP ...
A 22-year-old female presented with a 16-year history of anterior mitral leaflet prolapse. However, she had never experienced any discomfort before. At a routine follow-up, a transthoracic echocardiog...
ALCAPA is a rare and potentially life-threatening congenital coronary artery anomaly that may cause mitral valve prolapse. Echocardiogram is an important screening tool for this disorder....
While suture anchors are widely used in medical procedures for their advantages, they can sometimes lead to complications, including anchor prolapse. This article presents a unique case of suture anch...
A 35-year-old male, underwent extensor tendon rupture reconstruction using a non-absorbable suture anchor. After seven years the patient visited our outpatients complaining of stiffness, pain, and pro...
Suture anchor complications, such as prolapse, are a concern in medical practice. This case underscores the significance of MRI for accurate diagnosis and the importance of tailored surgical managemen...
Patients with profound floppy eyelid syndrome (FES) may experience challenges achieving eyelid and tarsal stability in the setting of severe ptosis. A 43-year-old woman with sleep apnea presented to c...
