ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate associations between preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms and postoperative complications and the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing valve repair surgery. Method: Observational, exploratory and prospective study. The consecutive non-probabilistic sample consisted of patients undergoing their first valve repair surgery. Data were collected from September 2013 to September 2015, in a university hospital in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. Symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation; alpha was established at 5%. Results: Among the 70 participants, depressive symptoms were more frequent among women (p=0.042) and among patients experiencing postoperative agitation (p=0.039) Conclusion: In this study, depressive symptoms were associated with being a woman and postoperative agitation; the same was not true in regard to anxiety symptoms.

Abstract Introduction: Approximately 5-15% of patients submitted to rhinoplasty operations undergo revision surgery. Those patients have varied functional and aesthetic complaints that should receive a detailed assessment that includes all the expectations the patient had before the previous procedure. Objective: To draw the profile of the main aesthetic-functional complaints reported by patients to be submitted to revision rhinoplasty and to correlate them with the internal and external objective nasal evaluation performed by the surgeon. Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 43 patients to be submitted to revision rhinoplasty and their respective surgeons, by applying a questionnaire about the patients' epidemiological questions and subjective aesthetic-functional complaints as well as the respective functional deformities observed by the surgeons. Subsequently, these data were correlated with the purpose of observing the frequency of congruent reports between physicians and patients. Results: The presence of drooping tip and residual bridge hump were the patients' main complaints, confirmed by the surgeons. The correlation between subjective obstructive symptoms and the intranasal evaluation performed by surgeons was shown to be present in 87.5% of the cases. Among the patients with respiratory symptoms, the main deformity identified was residual septal deviation in 56.25% of the cases. Conclusion: The drooping tip followed by residual hump were the main complaints reported by the patients and confirmed by the objective examination by the physicians. The presence of nasal obstructive complaints in 37.2% of the patients shows that greater attention needs to be paid to functional deformities during the first surgical procedure. The differences observed between patients' complaints and surgeons' evaluations confirm the need for detailed assessment and clarification to the patients regarding their expectations and actual surgical possibilities.
Resumo: Introdução: As rinoplastias possuem índice de revisão em torno de 5% a 15% dos pacientes operados. Tais pacientes possuem queixas funcionais e estéticas variadas e a avaliação detalhada é de extrema importância, tendo em vista todas as expectativas em torno de um procedimento já anteriormente realizado. Objetivo: Traçar o perfil das principais queixas estético-funcionais referidas pelo paciente a ser submetido à rinoplastia revisional e correlacioná-las a avaliação nasal objetiva interna e externa realizada pelo cirurgião. Método: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo com 43 pacientes a serem submetidos à rinoplastia revisional e com seus respectivos cirurgiões, através da aplicação de questionário acerca de questões epidemiológicas e queixas estético-funcionais subjetivas dos pacientes e as respectivas deformidades funcionais observadas pelos cirurgiões. Após, esses dados foram correlacionados com a finalidade de observar a frequência de relatos concomitantes entre os médicos e pacientes. Resultados: A presença de ponta caída e giba óssea residual foram as principais queixas dos pacientes confirmadas pelos cirurgiões. Já a correlação entre sintomas subjetivos obstrutivos e a avaliação intranasal realizada pelos cirurgiões demonstrou estar presente em 87,5% dos casos. Dentre os pacientes com sintomas respiratórios, a principal deformidade encontrada foi o desvio septal residual em 56,25% dos casos. Conclusão: A ponta caída seguida de giba óssea residual foram as principais queixas relatadas pelos pacientes e confirmadas ao exame objetivo pelos médicos. A presença de 37,2% dos pacientes com queixas obstrutivas nasais demonstra que maior atenção deve ser dada a deformidades funcionais já durante o primeiro procedimento cirúrgico. As diferenças observadas entre as queixas dos pacientes e avaliações dos cirurgiões comprovam a necessidade da avaliação pormenorizada e esclarecimento ao paciente com relação as suas expectativas e reais possibilidades cirúrgicas.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the safety and short term outcomes of a new, truly minimally-invasive, mesh-less and dissection-less anchoring system for pelvic floor apical repair. Methods A prospective study was conducted using the NeuGuide™ device system for pelvic floor apical repair. The primary effectiveness outcome was centro-apical pelvic floor prolapse by POP-Q after six months. The primary safety outcome was intra-operative, immediate (first 48 h) post-operative complications and adverse effects after six months. A standardized questionnaire (UDI-6) to assess quality of life at entry and during follow-up visits was used. Patients’ six months-follow-up and evaluation are reported. Results The mean age of the study population (n=10) was 63.8±12.0 years. All patients had a previous prolapse surgery. Five had a previous hysterectomy and two had stress urinary incontinence symptoms. During surgery six patients had a concurrent colporrhaphy. There was no injury to the bladder, rectum, pudendal nerves, or major pelvic vessels and no febrile morbidity was recorded. At six months, no cases of centro-apical recurrence were noted. Patients were satisfied with the procedure and had favorable quality of life scores. Using the UDI-6 questionnaire an improvement, in all domains was seen. Moreover, although the sample size was small, the improvement in urge and overflow incontinence related domains were demonstrated to be statistically significant. Conclusions This new NeuGuide™ device allows rapid and safe introduction of a suspending suture through the sacrospinous ligament and makes sacrospinous ligament fixation easy to perform, while avoiding dissection and mesh complications.

OBJECTIVE: This article seeks to understand the experiences of transgender women in relation to the hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery that make up the Gender Reassignment Process. METHOD: It is a qualitative study inserted into the field of cultural and gender studies. Data collection used narrative interviews, conducted in 2010 and 2011, with seven transsexual women who had been undergoing the Gender Reassignment Process for at least two years. The data was submitted to a thematic analysis. RESULTS: The results show that the transformation processes for construction of the female body include behavior adaptation, posture modification, voice modulation, hormone use, vaginal canal dilation and surgical complications. Such processes subject the body to be built as idealized to fit the gender identity, infringing on pleasures and afflictions. CONCLUSION: We concluded that the discussion involving the Gender Reassignment Process brings allowances for nursing regarding body changes experienced by transgender women. .

OBJECTIVES: The vulva is the primary site affected in lichen sclerosus, a chronic dermatosis in women that is histologically characterized by a zone of collagen remodeling in the superior dermis. The normal physiological properties of the vulva depend on the assembly of collagen types I (COLI), III (COLIII) and V (COLV), which form heterotypic fibers, and extracellular matrix protein interactions. COLV regulates the heterotypic fiber diameter, and the preservation of its properties is important for maintaining normal tissue architecture and function. In the current work, we analyzed the expression of COLV and its relationship with COLI, COLIII, elastic fibers and extracellular matrix protein 1 in vulvar biopsies from patients with lichen sclerosus. METHODS: Skin biopsies from 21 patients with lichen sclerosus, classified according to Hewitt histological criteria, were studied and compared to clinically normal vulvar tissue (N=21). Morphology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, 3D reconstruction and morphometric analysis of COLI, COLIII, COLV deposition, elastic fibers and extracellular matrix 1 expression in a zone of collagen remodeling in the superior dermis were performed. RESULTS: A significant decrease of elastic fibers and extracellular matrix 1 protein was present in the hyalinization zone of lichen sclerosus compared to healthy controls. The non-homogeneous distribution of collagen fibers visualized under immunofluorescence in the hyalinization zone of lichen sclerosus and control skin was confirmed by histomorphometry. Lichen sclerosus dermis shows a significant increase of COLI, COLIII and COLV expression compared to the healthy controls. Significant inverse associations were found between elastic fibers and COLV and between COLV and extracellular matrix 1 expression. A direct association was found between elastic fiber content and extracellular matrix 1 expression. Tridimensional reconstruction of the heterotypic fibers ...

Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin and C-reactive protein are associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the relationship between these two biomarker levels and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease remains unclear. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantify the association of cardiac troponin and C-reactive protein levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Relevant studies were identified by searching the MEDLINE database through November 2013. Studies were included in the meta-analysis if they reported the long-term all-cause or cardiovascular mortality of chronic kidney disease patients with abnormally elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin or C-reactive protein. Summary estimates of association were obtained using a random-effects model. Thirty-two studies met our inclusion criteria. From the pooled analysis, cardiac troponin and C-reactive protein were significantly associated with all-cause (HR 2.93, 95% CI 1.97-4.33 and HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.14-1.29, respectively) and cardiovascular (HR 3.27, 95% CI 1.67-6.41 and HR 1.19, 95% CI 1.10-1.28, respectively) mortality. In the subgroup analysis of cardiac troponin and C-reactive protein, significant heterogeneities were found among the subgroups of population for renal replacement therapy and for the proportion of smokers and the C-reactive protein analysis method. Elevated serum levels of cardiac troponin and C-reactive protein are significant associated with higher risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Further studies are warranted to explore the risk stratification in chronic kidney disease patients.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the annual direct and indirect costs of the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer in Brazil. METHODS: This cost description study used a "gross-costing" methodology and adopted the health system and societal perspectives. The estimates were grouped into sets of procedures performed in phases of cervical cancer care: the screening, diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions and the treatment of cervical cancer. The costs were estimated for the public and private health systems, using data from national health information systems, population surveys, and literature reviews. The cost estimates are presented in 2006 USD. RESULTS: From the societal perspective, the estimated total costs of the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer amounted to USD $1,321,683,034, which was categorized as follows: procedures (USD $213,199,490), visits (USD $325,509,842), transportation (USD $106,521,537) and productivity losses (USD $676,452,166). Indirect costs represented 51% of the total costs, followed by direct medical costs (visits and procedures) at 41% and direct non-medical costs (transportation) at 8%. The public system represented 46% of the total costs, and the private system represented 54%. CONCLUSION: Our national cost estimates of cervical cancer prevention and treatment, indicating the economic importance of cervical cancer screening and care, will be useful in monitoring the effect of the HPV vaccine introduction and are of interest in research and health care management. .

Objective To investigate the adequacy of the neuropsychological test battery proposed by the International Study of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction to evaluate this disorder in Brazilian elderly patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Methods A neuropsychological assessment was made in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia, aged over 65 years, literate, with no history of psychiatric or neurological problems and score on the Mini Mental State Examination at or above the cutoff point for the Brazilian population (>18 or >23) according to the schooling level of the subject. Eighty patients were evaluated by a trained team of neuropsychologists up to 24 hours before elective surgery. Results Among the patients evaluated, one was excluded due to score below the cutoff point in the Mini Mental State Examination and two did not complete the test battery, thus remaining 77 patients in the study. The mean age was 69±7.5 years, and 62.34% of the subjects had ±4 years of study. The subjects had significantly lower averages than expected (p<0.001) for normative tables on neuropsychological tests. Conclusion The study demonstrated the applicability of the instruments in the Brazilian elderly and low schooling level population, but suggested the need to determine cutoff points appropriate for these individuals, ensuring the correct interpretation of results. This battery is relevant to postoperative follow-up evaluations, favoring the diagnosis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing different types of surgery and anesthetic techniques. .
Objetivo Investigar a adequação da bateria neuropsicológica proposta pelo International Study of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction para a avaliação de disfunção cognitiva pós-operatória em pacientes idosos brasileiros submetidos à cirurgia sob anestesia geral. Métodos Foi realizada uma avaliação neuropsicológica em pacientes submetidos a cirurgias não cardíacas sob anestesia geral, com idade >65 anos, alfabetizados, sem histórico de problemas psiquiátricos ou neurológicos e com pontuação no Miniexame do Estado Mental igual ou superior ao ponto de corte para a população brasileira (>18 ou >23) de acordo com a escolaridade do sujeito. Oitenta pacientes foram avaliados por equipe treinada de neuropsicólogos até 24 horas antes da cirurgia de caráter eletivo. Resultados Dentre os pacientes avaliados, um foi excluído por apresentar pontuação abaixo do ponto de corte no Miniexame do Estado Mental e dois não completaram a bateria de testes, permanecendo 77 pacientes no estudo. A média de idade foi de 69±7,5 anos, com 62,34% dos sujeitos, com ±4 anos de estudo. Os sujeitos apresentaram médias significativamente inferiores ao esperado (p<0,001) para tabelas normativas nos testes neuropsicológicos. Conclusão O estudo demonstrou a aplicabilidade dos instrumentos na população brasileira idosa e de baixa escolaridade, mas sugeriu a necessidade de determinação de pontos de corte adequados a essa população, garantindo a correta interpretação de resultados. Tal bateria é relevante para avaliações de seguimento pós-cirúrgico, favorecendo o diagnóstico de disfunção cognitiva pós-operatória em pacientes submetidos a diferentes tipos de cirurgia e técnicas anestésicas. .

INTRODUCTION: Due to the increased number of bariatric surgeries over the years, aspects contributing or hindering the achievement of outcomes, among them weight regain, have acquired increased significance. Psychological factors directly influence on this unwanted situation, but there are few studies and controversies about the degree of participation of these factors. We propose a qualitative investigation to analyze the meanings of weight regain after surgery among women and how these factors influence this outcome. METHOD: This study uses the clinical-qualitative method, by means of a semi-structured interview with open questions in an intentional sample, closed by saturation, with eight women who underwent surgery at the Bariatric Surgery Outpatient Clinic of Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. RESULTS: A feeling of defeat and failure emerges with weight regain, which contributes to social isolation; there is no regret, but gratitude for the surgery; among patients, there is a sense of feeling rejected greater than a rejection that actually exists. CONCLUSION: We found out the need for further qualitative studies that help the health team to better understand the dynamic psychological factors involved in the meaning of weight regain after bariatric surgery among women, in order to adopt appropriate conducts to deal with this problem (AU)
INTRODUÇÃO: Com o aumento do número de cirurgias bariátricas ao longo dos anos, têm chamado atenção os aspectos que contribuem ou impedem os resultados, entre eles o reganho de peso, mostram-se relevantes. Fatores psicológicos influenciam diretamente essa situação indesejada, mas há poucos estudos e controvérsias sobre o grau de participação desses fatores. Nós propomos uma investigação qualitativa para analisar os significados do reganho de peso depois da cirurgia para mulheres e como esses fatores influenciam esse resultado. MÉTODO: Este estudo usa o método clínico-qualitativo, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com questões abertas em uma amostra intencional, fechada por saturação, com oito mulheres operadas no ambulatório de cirurgia bariátrica do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), no estado de São Paulo. RESULTADOS: Um sentimento de derrota e fracasso surge com o reganho de peso, que colabora para o isolamento social; não há arrependimento, mas gratidão pela cirurgia; entre as pacientes, há uma ideia de sentir-se rejeitada maior que uma rejeição que existe de fato. CONCLUSÃO: Constatamos a necessidade de novos estudos qualitativos que auxiliem a equipe de saúde a entender melhor os fatores psicológicos dinâmicos envolvidos no significado do reganho de peso após a cirurgia bariátrica entre as mulheres para adotar condutas adequadas para lidar com esse problema (AU)

BACKGROUND: The consequences of a diagnosis of head and neck cancer and the impact of treatment have a clear and direct influence on well-being and associated quality of life (QOL) in these patients. AIMS: To determine the QOL in head and neck cancer patients following a partial glossectomy operation. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional cohort study; Head and Neck Oncology Unit, tertiary referral center. Materials and METHODS: 38 patients with partial glossectomy were assessed with the University of Washington head and neck quality of life (UW-QOL) scale, version 4. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 10.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago version III). Information from the scale was correlated using the Mann Whitney test. A P value less than/equal to 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: The mean (sd) composite score of the QOL in our series was 73.6 (16.1). The majority (71.8%) quoted their QOL as good or very good. Swallowing (n = 16, 47.1%), speech (n = 15, 44.1%) and saliva (n = 15, 44.1%) were most commonly cited issues over the last 7 days. On the other hand, the groups with reconstruction, neck dissection, complications and radiotherapy demonstrated a significant reduction of quality of life scores (Mann Whitney test, P < 0.005). CONCLUSION: The composite score and overall QOL as assessed using the UW-QOL scale (version 4) were modestly high in our series of partial glossectomy patients. Swallowing, speech, and saliva are regarded as the most important issues. Stage of the disease, neck dissection, reconstruction, complications, radiotherapy and time since operation were seen to significantly affect domain scores.

Salvage surgical procedures after failed reconstruction for an extrophy-epispadias complex are extremely challenging. The goals are to restore continence and improve aesthetic appearance in order to provide quality of life and an improved body image to the patient. We describe the surgical steps in an adult patient who presented anal urinary incontinence and a poor body image due to the absence of an umbilicus and the presence of hypertrophic scars. He underwent a modified Mainz II reconstruction of the lower urinary tract at childhood for an extrophy-epispadias complex. Restoration of continence was achieved by the construction of a modified Mainz I pouch with a continent stoma in a neo-umbilicus. Body image improved dramatically by the construction of a neo-umbilicus, a surgical revision of the hypertrophic abdominal scars and an abdominoplasty. It is mandatory that such demanding surgery should only be attempted as a combined multidisciplinary effort with urologists and plastic/reconstructive surgeons.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar prospectivamente as repercussões emocionais no indivíduo com melanoma uveal e indicação cirúrgica em três momentos: diagnóstico e pré-cirúrgico, pós-cirúrgico e pós-cirúrgico tardio. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo clínico-qualitativo, no qual se utilizaram os seguintes instrumentos: Inventário de Ansiedade Traço/Estado - IDATE; Inventário de Depressão Beck e o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo, inicialmente, 20 pacientes, 13 homens e sete mulheres, com idade média de 52 anos e, num segundo momento, 16 estavam disponíveis. No momento pré-cirúrgico, o Estado de Ansiedade está aumentado em relação ao Traço. O índice de Depressão indica um estado mínimo a leve e a Qualidade de Vida revela que os aspectos físicos e emocionais são os mais afetados. No pós-cirúrgico de três meses, o Traço de Ansiedade está consideravelmente elevado, o índice de Depressão mostra um estado leve a grave e na Qualidade de Vida os aspectos mais atingidos são os físicos, sociais e emocionais, além da vitalidade e da saúde mental. No pós-cirúrgico de um ano, o Traço de Ansiedade se mantém semelhante ao da primeira avaliação, o Estado de Ansiedade diminui consideravelmente, a Depressão cai para um índice mínimo e a Qualidade de vida mostra a maioria dos aspectos equilibrados. CONCLUSÕES: Após três meses da cirurgia, os pacientes se mostram mais frágeis, com dificuldade de adaptação, com aumento do grau de depressão e ansiedade. Esse foi o pior período para os pacientes. Após um ano da cirurgia, mostram-se mais estruturados e com os aspectos de Qualidade de Vida mais equilibrados.
PURPOSE: To evaluate prospectively the emotional repercussions in the individual with uveal melanoma and surgical indication in three phases: diagnosis and preoperative, postsurgery and late postsurgery. METHODS: Clinical qualitative study based on the following instruments: STAI - State, Trait Anxiety Inventory; BDI - Beck Depression Inventory; Quality of Life Questionaire SF-36. RESULTS: The sample of this study consisted of 20 patients, 13 males and seven females, with average age of 52 years. Before surgery: the patients appear fragile and impacted by diagnosis and treatment. The state of depression indicates a minimum to light state. Anxiety has the state increased in relationship to Trait. Quality of Life has the emotional and physical aspects affected. Three months after surgery: the Depression shows to light to serious state. Anxiety has the state considerably increased. Quality of Life has most aspects affected: the physical, vitality, social, mental health and emotional aspects being the most affected. One year after surgery: the State of Anxiety decreases considerable. The Trait of Anxiety is maintained in most patients when compared to the first evaluation. Depression shows a minimum state. Quality of Life has most of its aspects balanced. CONCLUSION: After three months of surgery the patients appear more fragile with adaptation difficulty, Anxiety and Depression increasing. This period revealed to be the worst moment. One year after surgery, they appear more structured and with a more balanced Quality of Life.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A disfunção cognitiva pós-operatória (DCPO) está relacionada a fatores como o estado físico, distúrbios eletrolíticos, visuais e imunológicos, alcoolismo, fármacos e senilidade. Este estudo teve por objetivos determinar a prevalência de DCPO e seus fatores associados. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 55 pacientes, com idade entre 18 e 89 anos, submetidos a cirurgias eletivas ortopédicas, urológicas, digestivas ou vasculares, sob anestesia geral ou regional. Foi aplicado o Mini-Exame de Estado Mental (MEEM) na véspera da data da cirurgia (M0), 24 horas após (M1) e 3 a 7 dias após a cirurgia (M2). A DCPO foi caracterizada por escore do MEEM menor que 24/30 pontos ou diferença maior ou igual a 4 pontos em relação a M0. As variáveis utilizadas nas análises uni e multivariadas foram a idade, o sexo, o tipo de anestesia, o tipo de cirurgia, a ocorrência de hipotensão arterial, hipoxemia ou hipocapnia intra-operatórias, o uso de atropina e a duração da cirurgia. RESULTADOS: DCPO ocorreram em oito pacientes (14,54 por cento). Todos os casos de DCPO ocorreram em pacientes com idade superior a 65 anos. Nesta faixa etária, a prevalência de DCPO foi de 28,57 por cento. Somente a idade e os valores pré-anestésicos do MEEM diferiram entre os que apresentaram e os que não apresentaram DCPO. O modelo logístico incluiu somente o escore pré-anestésico do MEEM. CONCLUSÕES: Entre as variáveis incluídas neste estudo, somente o valor pré-anestésico do escore do MEEM pode ser considerado um fator de previsão independente da ocorrência de DCPO.

RACIONAL: A qualidade de vida do doador após transplante hepático intervivos ainda não foi avaliada em nosso meio. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida do doador após transplante hepático intervivos. MÉTODOS: De um total de 300 transplantes hepáticos, 51 foram de doadores vivos. Doadores com seguimento menor do que 6 meses e os que não quiseram participar do estudo foram excluídos. Os doadores responderam a um questionário de 28 perguntas abordando os vários aspectos da doação, sendo também avaliados dados demográficos e clínicos dos mesmos. RESULTADOS: Trinta e sete doadores aceitaram participar do estudo. Destes, 32 eram parentes de primeiro ou de segundo grau do receptor. O esclarecimento sobre o caráter voluntário da doação foi adequado para todos pacientes. Apenas um (2 por cento) não doaria novamente. A dor pós-operatória foi pior do que o esperado para 22 doadores (59 por cento). O retorno às atividades normais ocorreu em menos de 3 meses para 21 doadores (57 por cento). Vinte e um doadores (57 por cento) tiveram perda financeira com a doação devido a gastos com medicamentos, exames, transporte ou perda de rendimentos. Trinta e três (89 por cento) não tiveram modificação ou limitação na sua vida após a doação. Os aspectos mais negativos da doação foram a dor pós-operatória e a presença de cicatriz cirúrgica. A maioria das complicações pós-operatória foi resolvida com o tratamento clínico, mas complicações graves ou potencialmente fatais ocorreram em dois pacientes. CONCLUSÕES: A maioria dos doadores apresentou boa recuperação e retornou completamente as suas atividades normais poucos meses após a doação. O aspecto mais negativo da doação foi a dor pós-operatória.

Peduncular hallucinations are formed visual images often associated with sleep disturbance and are caused by lesions in the midbrain, pons and diencephalon. In present case report, a four year child, who was operated for midline posterior fossa medulloblastoma developed peduncular hallucinations on 3rd post operative day. Traction trauma or the compression of mid brain was thought to be the most possible cause of hallucinations.

Se informa sobre una experiencia de psicoprofilaxis quirúrgica en cirugía ortopédica. Fueron revisadas las observaciones efectuadas durante el tratamiento de 303 pacientes; se formaron grupos según las modalidades de adaptación psicológica preoperatoria, que fueron correlacionadas con las alternativas de la evolución postoperatoria. Casi siempre una adaptación normal fue seguida por una excelente evolución en el postoperatorio, mientras que los enfermos con adaptaciones preoperatorias patológicas presentaron con frecuencia distintas complicaciones: dificultades para un buen control de dolor con analgésicos, conflictos en la relación médico-paciente, detención del ritmo normal de rehabilitación o excesos físicos y transgresiones durante la misma, e incluso dificultades para un correcto manejo médico tras el alta. En muchos pacientes la adaptación anormal al impacto emocional de la enfermedad y la cirugía había condicionado demoras para la consulta médica y/o la aceptación de la indicación quirúrgica. En general los enfermos con una adaptación preoperatoria patológica tenían el antecedente de una personalidad previa también patológica. Todos estos hallazgos sugieren que la estructura de personalidad de los pacientes y su modalidad de adaptación psicológica a la cirugía pueden determinar un riesgo quirúrgico de origen psicológico, ya que suelen ser factores contribuyentes en la génesis de muchas de la dificultades de su evolución clínico-quirúrgica

Entre julio de 1987 y mayo de 1989 se entrevistaron desde el punto de vista psicológico 200 pacientes quirúrgicos. La observación de 32 pacientes con cáncer primario o secundario en el pulmón motivó el presente trabajo. Se investigó la actitud psicológica del paciente frente a la operación y su evolución médica postoperatoria. La evaluación se realizó mediante entrevistas y los resultados se trasladaron a 3 formularios diferentes. El 91% de los pacientes deseaba ser escuchado y aceptó la atención psicológica. La evolución médica postoperatoria resultó ser un correlato significativo de la disposición psicológica observada en el preoperatorio; los 9 pacientes con una disposición psicológica normal no sufrieron complicaciones; de los 23 con una actitud prequirúrgica patológica, 12 tuvieron complicaciones médicas postoperatorias tales como, empiema, atelectasia, inexpansión pulmonar, hemorragia digestiva, trombosis venosa profunda, insuficiencia cardíaca, hemotórax postoperatorio, infección de pared y neumonitis.

En las recidivas de la enfermedad de Crohn, la indicación quirúrgica se hace presente cuando los síntomas y signos adquieren severidad parecida a la que mostró la primera intervención, fracasado el tratamiento médico. La necesidad de reoperar alcanza cifras que oscilan entre 60 y 70 por ciento tratándose de resecciones previas y hasta del 100 por ciento cuando fueron sólo derivaciones. Los síntomas y signos que obligaron a tal conducta fueron: diarrea, fístula, obstrucción, hemorragia, lesiones perineales y adelgazamiento. Se han observado recidivas proximales en intestino delgado, luego de proctocolectomía total, hemicolectomía derecha y resección del delgado. También las hemos tenido en forma distal, posteriormente a anastomosis ileotransversa o ileorrectal. En los casos de mayor gravedad donde la enfermedad se manifiesta con reiteradas recidivas, la cirugía como única terapéutica, no es suficiente para la cura radical.
