Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography is performed for various situations that require drainage, after which stent migration is the most severe adverse event. Several lumen-apposing metal stents (...
Anchoring force was measured for five types of LAMS (NAGI, SPAXUS, Plumber, and AXIOS 8 and 10 mm) and seven types of CSEMS (BCL, SHCL, BCG, BPD [four types of HANAROSTENT], HILZO, Niti-S [Spring Stop...
The mean ACF at 0° and 20° were NAGI 1.50, 1.84 N, SPAXUS 1.73, 1.72 N, Plumber 2.64, 2.03 N, and AXIOS 3.96, 3.61 N, respectively; and BCL 0.48, 0.53 N, Wallflex 0.53, 0.48 N, SHCL 0.64, 0.73 N, HILZ...
We measured ACF in LAMS and CSEMS with a new phantom model. The highest value among the LAMS was for the AXIOS and among the CSEMS was for the Spring Stopper. Some of the ACF values varied with the di...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has emerged as a popular alternative to percutaneous cholecystostomy and endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage for patients sufferi...
Ultrasound technology has revolutionized point-of-care diagnostics, decision-making, and the guidance of interventional procedures in Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Recent literature has h...
Caudal epidural catheters threaded to the thoracic levels are increasingly utilized in infants undergoing thoracic and abdominal surgery, compared to lumbar or thoracic epidural techniques. Estimating...
To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injections in patients with cesarean scar pregnancies (CSP)....
A total of 31 patients diagnosed with CSP, who underwent an ultrasound-guided lauromacrogol injection + curettage in our hospital between February 2019 and December 2020 and had a complete recovery co...
In Group A, the post-injection CEUS showed no enhancement, single strip enhancement, and sparse punctate enhancement, while in Group B, it showed a more irregular ring and local patch enhancement. In ...
Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography can guide the location selection of the lauromacrogol injection in patients with CSP, and its postoperative morphological indicators can adequately predict the therap...
Costoclavicular brachial plexus block is gaining popularity due to its ease of application. Lateral and medial costoclavicular approaches have recently been defined. In the current study, we aimed to ...
In this study 55 children aged between 2 and 10 years were randomized to receive lateral (LC group) or medial (MC group) costoclavicular brachial plexus block after induction of general anesthesia for...
The LC group patients required less ultrasound visualization time (median 14 s, range 11-23 s vs. median 42 s, range 15-67 s, p < 0.001) and fewer needle maneuvers (median 1, range 1-2 vs. median 3, r...
The lateral approach required less needle maneuvers than the medial approach. Both techniques represented a good safety profile with favorable analgesic features....
It is still not clear the role of perilesional biopsy (PL) and the extension of the random biopsy (RB) scheme to be adopted during mpMRI-guided ultrasound fusion biopsy (FB). To evaluate the increase ...
We collected prospectively 168 biopsy-naïve patients with positive mpMRI receiving FB and concurrent 24-core RB. The diagnostic yields of the different possible biopsy schemes (TB only; TB + 4 PL core...
The detection rate of CS cancers increased to 35%, 45%, and 49% by adding 4 PL cores, 12, and 24 RB cores, respectively (all p < 0.02). Notably, the largest scheme including 3 TB and 24 RB cores ident...
We found that PL biopsy increased the detection rate of CS cancers as compared with TB alone. However, the combination of those cores missed about 30% of the CS cancers identified with larger RB cores...
A novel agar-based phantom was developed and assessed for ultrasonography (USG)-guided brain biopsy training. The phantom provides visual cues combined with sonologic cues, allowing multimodal trainin...
Twenty-five participants were divided based on experience with USG-based procedures into familiar (≥3 procedures performed in the past) (n = 14) and unfamiliar (<3 procedures performed) (n = 11). Agar...
Familiars had better pretraining EfB, Ef, Er, and PS (P < 0.001) compared with unfamiliars. After training, both performed similarly on all metrics. After training, familiars improved only in EfI (P =...
Simulation and phantom-based models can never supplant training through supervised skill application in vivo but our model supplements training by enabling technical skill acquisition, especially for ...
The introduction of robotic-guided procedures in surgical techniques has brought an increase in the accuracy and control of resections. Surgery has evolved as a technique since the development of lapa...
The present study is designed to synthesise the development of imaging techniques with a focus on ultrasonography in robotic surgery in the last ten years regarding abdominal surgical interventions....
All studies involved abdominal surgery. Out of the seven studies, two were performed in clinical trials. The other five studies were performed on organs or simulators and attempted to develop a hybrid...
Ultrasonography is often used in minimally invasive surgical techniques. This adds to the visualisation of blood vessels, the correct identification of tumour margins, and the location of surgical ins...
To prospectively analyse robotically administered transperitoneal transversus abdominis plane (robot-assisted transversus abdominis plane [RTAP]) compared with both ultrasonography-guided transversus ...
Patients undergoing RARP or RAPN were randomized in a single-blind 2:2:1 fashion to RTAP:UTAP:LA, with the study powered to evaluate superiority of UTAP to LA and non-inferiority of RTAP to UTAP. We c...
A total of 143 patients were randomized and received treatment. There was no significant difference in patient baseline characteristics. UTAP did not demonstrate superiority to LA in terms of pain con...
This study showed that UTAP and RTAP do not provide superior pain control to LA. The efficiency, effectiveness, and ease of administration of LA make it an excellent option for first-line therapy for ...
