ABSTRACT Purpose To compare tissue inflammatory response, foreign body reaction, fibroplasia, and proportion of type I/III collagen between closure of abdominal wall aponeurosis using polyglactin suture and intraperitoneal implant of polypropylene, polypropylene/polyglecaprone, and polyester/porcine collagen meshes to repair defects in the abdominal wall of rats. Methods Forty Wistar rats were placed in four gr...
Abstract Purpose To Compare the extent and intensity of adhesions formed between the intra-abdominal organs and the intraperitoneal implants of polypropylene mesh versus polypropylene/polyglecaprone versus polyester/porcine collagen used for correction of abdominal wall defect in rats. Methods After the defect in the abdominal wall, thirty Wistar rats were placed in three groups (ten animals each) for intraperi...
RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar os resultados perioperatórios e pós-operatórios relacionados à excisão total do mesorreto transanal, bem como, qualidade dos espécimes obtidos pela excisão total do mesorreto transanal através da análise histopatológica da qualidade do mesorreto, acometimento das margens proximal e distal e positividade da margem circunferencial. Métodos: estudo prospectivo, descritivo, em pacientes con...
RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o impacto na fisiologia anorretal da hemorroidopexia por grampeamento parcial, das complicações relacionadas à técnica cirúrgica, dor e sangramento pós-operatório e recidiva de doença hemorroidária após um ano de cirurgia. Métodos: estudo prospectivo, descritivo, em pacientes consecutivos, portadores de doença hemorroidária do tipo mista ou interna, com componente interno classificado c...
PURPOSE: To study the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) liver injury and in the expression of IL-6 and IL-10 in a rat model. METHODS: Thirty-six male rats were divided in three groups: Sham; I/R injury, a 45 minutes lobar liver ischemia and reperfusion; and RIPC, six cycles of four minutes of ischemia and four minutes of reperfusion on the right hindlimb followed by ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of GTA against these microorganisms and alternative disinfectants for high-level disinfection (HLD). METHODS: Reference mycobacteria and clinical M. massiliense strains were included in this study. Active cultures were submitted to susceptibility qualitative tests with GTA dilutions (ranging from 1.5% to 8%), and commercial orthophthaldehyde (OPA) ...
Between August 2006 and February 2007, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a massive outbreak of RGM infections after video laparoscopy was mainly associated to the recently described Mycobacterium massiliense species. All confirmed and probable cases reports described the use of high-level disinfection of medical devices by using 2% glutaraldehyde (2% GA) for 30 min before the surgical procedures. We inves...
PURPOSE: To asses the dissemination of bacteria labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) from peritoneal cavity after different surgical procedures. METHODS: Bacteria of the Escherichia coli species labeled with 99mTc were used in a concentration of 10(8) units of colony-makers for ml (UFC/ml) and 1ml was inoculated through intra-peritoneal via. Forty-eight rats were divided into four groups: control, laparotomy, pn...
A rare case of primary splenic cyst is shown in a young woman who had a left subcostal abdominal pain. Abdominal echography and CT scan revealed a cyst of the anterior aspect of the spleen. A sorologic test for hidatic disease was negative. On the basis of a presumed diagnostic of nonparasitic cyst, the patient was referred to a laparoscopic decapsulation with excision of the cyst wall not covered by splenic ti...
Os autores analisaram, retrospectivamente, 117 pacientes portadores de abdome agudo não-traumático, submetidos à laparoscopia diagnóstica e/ou terapêutica, na Casa de Saúde Santa Martha, em Niterói. A precisão diagnóstica do exame laparoscópico foi de 96,6%. Com relação à terapêutica, 74,4% dos pacientes foram tratados por laparoscopia, 21,4% por laparotomia e 4,3% foram tratados clinicamente. A precocidade na ...
