To preserve the aesthetic benefits achieved with Bikini line sleeve gastrectomy (BLSG), we have devised a novel approach for simultaneous hiatal hernia repair (HHR), known as bikini-line hiatal hernia...
A prospective preliminary study was conducted on patients who underwent BLHHR between September 2020 and October 2022. Patient demographics, preoperative assessments, operative details, postoperative ...
Among 891 BLSG patients, 89 (9.9%) underwent BLHHR. The mean distances between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus, symphysis pubis, and anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) were 28.8 ± 2.2, 33.9 ± ...
BLHHR was potentially feasible and safe. Outcomes related to patient scar satisfaction, weight loss, improvement of associated comorbidities, and GERD symptoms were not compromised. The aesthetic bene...
Co-trimoxazole has been reported as a common culprit drug for various cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs). However, information on genotypic and phenotypic characteristics is still limited. We ai...
The medical records of all patients diagnosed with co-trimoxazole-induced CADR during October 2015 and October 2021 were reviewed. Clinical characteristics and laboratory investigation with an emphasi...
Seventy-two patients diagnosed with co-trimoxazole-induced CADR were included in the study. Mean age at diagnosis was 38.0 ± 14.6 years old, and 72% were female. Subtypes of reactions included maculop...
Co-trimoxazole could induce various phenotypes of CADRs. Genotypic and phenotypic factors that may potentially predict co-trimoxazole-induced SCARs include male gender, HIV infection, prophylactic and...
Tendon-bone injuries are a prevalent health concern associated with sports and other physically demanding activities. These injuries have a limited innate healing ability, often leading to the formati...
Severe burns threaten patient lives due to pain, inflammation, bacterial infection, and scarring. Most burn dressings that are commonly used perform a single function and are not well suited for the m...
After incomplete healing of the uterine cesarean section scar, a niche can be observed; 24% of the women develop large niches with a residual myometrial thickness <3 mm. In these cases a laparoscopic ...
A prospective cohort study was performed, with consecutive inclusion of women between 2011 and 2019. Women with a niche in the uterine cesarean scar, with a residual myometrial thickness of <3 mm and ...
There were 133 (62%) women included with a desire to become pregnant, 88 with secondary infertility. In all, 83 had an ongoing pregnancy at the 2-year follow-up. The ongoing pregnancy rate in patients...
The reproductive outcomes in women with and without previous fertility problems undergoing resection of a large niche are very promising and quite comparable in both groups. These results suggest, but...
Since pediatric stomas are often temporary, their creation, management, and closure should be simple, with minimal complications and excellent cosmetic results. We began employing umbilical stomas in ...
We examined cases of stoma construction and closure surgery performed in our department from January 2000 to December 2022. The umbilical and non-umbilical stoma groups included 54 and 42 cases, respe...
The two groups showed no significant differences in the incidence of complications. The Manchester Scar Scale score for the umbilical stoma group (8.42 ± 1.85) was significantly better than that for t...
Umbilical stomas are easy to manage and yield an inconspicuous closure incision with excellent cosmetic outcomes. Although patient selection is important, pediatric umbilical stomas are a valuable opt...
BACKGROUND Understanding the blood supply pattern of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) can effectively help to determine the best choice of treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the blood su...
Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is among the most severe complications of cesarean delivery. CSP refers to the abnormal implantation of the gestational sac in the area of the prior cesarean delivery (CD...
Catheter ablation is routinely used to treat scar-related atrial tachycardia (s-AT). Conventional ablation often involves creating anatomical "lines" that transect myocardial tissue supporting reentry...
The Ripple-AT-Plus trial (registration ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT03915691) is a prospective, multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial with 12-month follow-up. Two hundred s-AT patients w...
This is the first trial that considers long-term patient outcomes post s-AT ablation, and whether targeting narrower isthmuses in the era of high density is optimal....
Vaginal births after cesarean or elective repeat cesarean sections (CS) are the options for delivery after one cesarean scar. However, there is a lack of data regarding the preferred next mode of deli...
An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant mothers with one previous CS at UoGCSH from March to August 2022. Structured questionnaires were used to collect the data. The...
The majority, 71.5% (95% CI: 64.7, 77.1), of participants preferred the trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) as their mode of delivery. Mothers who were married (AOR = 4.47, 95% CI: 1.19-16.85), had ...
This study concluded that most pregnant mothers preferred labor trials after one CS, which is a bit lower but comparable with recommended practice guidelines. Providing adequate information and counse...
