ABSTRACT
RESUMO Objetivo analisar os eventos adversos cirúrgicos divulgados por uma mídia brasileira. Método pesquisa documental, qualitativa. A fonte de informação consistiu em reportagens audiovisuais sobre danos decorrentes de intervenções cirúrgicas, noticiadas em uma mídia brasileira. Para as buscas no portal eletrônico, consideraram-se as publicadas até junho de 2019. O referencial de Bardin foi empregado na análise temática. Os incidentes mencionados foram classificados segundo as barreiras de segurança contidas na Lista de Verificação de Segurança Cirúrgica (LVSC) da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Resultados foram analisados 16 casos apresentados através de 17 reportagens. Do total de falhas cometidas (n=16), a maioria (n=13) poderia ser prevenida através da checagem de itens contidos na LVSC. Na análise temática, três categorias emergiram: i. incidente relacionado à intervenção cirúrgica; ii. danos físicos, psicológicos e socioeconômicos decorrentes; iii. consequências ético-profissionais e/ou jurídicas. Conclusão e implicações para a prática os eventos adversos cirúrgicos divulgados pelas reportagens impactaram sobremaneira a vida dos pacientes, nos aspectos físicos, emocionais e socioeconômicos. Ainda trouxeram implicações para os profissionais envolvidos e instituições de saúde. Acredita-se que, as barreiras de segurança contidas em instrumento de verificação mundialmente reconhecido, são importantes ferramentas a serem empregadas para promover a segurança do paciente cirúrgico e salvar vidas.
RESUMEN Objetivo analizar los eventos quirúrgicos adversos reportados por un medio brasileño. Método investigación documental, cualitativa. La fuente de información consistió en reportajes audiovisuales sobre daños resultantes de intervenciones quirúrgicas, reportados en un medio brasileño. Para las búsquedas en el portal electrónico, se consideraron las publicaciones realizadas hasta junio de 2019. En el análisis temático se utilizó el marco de Bardin. Los incidentes mencionados fueron clasificados de acuerdo a las barreras de seguridad contenidas en la Lista de Verificación de Seguridad Quirúrgica (LVSC) de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Resultados se analizaron 16 casos presentados a través de 17 informes. Del total de fallas cometidos (n = 16), la mayoría (n = 13) podría evitarse mediante la verificación de los elementos contenidos en el LVSC. En el análisis temático surgieron tres categorías: i. Incidente relacionado con la intervención quirúrgica; ii. daño físico, psicológico y socioeconómico resultante; iii. Consecuencias ético-profesionales y / o legales. Conclusión e implicaciones para la práctica los eventos quirúrgicos adversos reportados por los informes impactaron enormemente en la vida de los pacientes, en los aspectos físicos, emocionales y socioeconómicos. También trajeron implicaciones para los profesionales involucrados y las instituciones de salud. Se cree que las barreras de seguridad contenidas en un instrumento de verificación reconocido mundialmente son herramientas importantes que se utilizarán para promover la seguridad de los pacientes quirúrgicos y salvar vidas.
ABSTRACT Objective to analyze surgical adverse events reported by a Brazilian media. Method documentary and qualitative research. The source of information consisted of audiovisual reports on damages resulting from surgical interventions, reported in a Brazilian media. For searches on the electronic portal, those published until June 2019 were considered. Bardin's framework was used in the thematic analysis. The aforementioned incidents were classified according to the safety barriers contained in the Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) of the World Health Organization. Results a total of 16 cases presented through 17 reports were analyzed. Of the total number of failures committed (n = 16), the majority (n = 13) could be prevented by checking items contained in the SSC. In the thematic analysis, three categories emerged: i. incident related to surgical intervention; ii. physical, psychological and socioeconomic resulting damage; iii. ethical-professional and/or legal consequences. Conclusion and implications for the practice the adverse surgical events disclosed by the reports greatly impacted on the lives of patients, in physical, emotional and socioeconomic aspects. They also brought implications for the professionals and health institutions involved. It is believed that the safety barriers contained in a globally recognized verification instrument are important tools to be used to promote the safety of surgical patients and save lives.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect and safety of ulnar osteochondroma resection, ulnar minimally invasive osteotomy, external fixation and ulnar lengthening in the treatment of forearm deformity of metaphyseal extension of ulna.@*METHODS@#From August 2005 to December 2013, there were 20 cases of ulnar metaphyseal sequelae, including 15 males and 5 females, aged from 7 to 13(10.00±2.34) years, the course of disease ranged for 6 to 11(8.10±1.52) months. The clinical manifestations were shortening of the affected forearm and bending to the ulnar side. The postoperative evaluation included pain, activities of daily living, orthopedic effect and the range of motion of wrist, elbow and forearm. The radiological evaluation included ulnar length, radial joint inclination angle and wrist epiphysis growth.@*RESULTS@#All patients healed without infection. The only operation related to complications was ulnar lengthening, including 1 case of nonunion, 2 cases of ulnar lengthening callus fracture and 1 case of temporary radial nerve palsy. All patients were followed up for 4 to 7.5 years, with an average of (6.03±1.33) years. There were statistically significant differences in changes of wrist radial deviation, ulnar deviation, forearm pronation and supination in all cases (@*CONCLUSION@#Ulnar lengthening is not beneficial to prevent the development of long-term deformity. Simple resection of osteochondroma of distal ulna is beneficial to prevent the development of deformity. Patients with limited rotation of wrist joint and forearm and strong demand for improvement of appearance can be actively treated.

Os autores avaliam os resultados de 35 procedimentos de descompressão cirúrgica do nervo ulnar realizados em 28 pacientes hansênicos. Os parâmetros utilizados incluíram a escala analógica visual, a escala comportamental, a avaliação da força muscular, a estesiometria e a avaliação do efeito do procedimento no que tange à diminuição da corticoterapia no pós-operatório. Observou-se resolução imediata da dor após a realização da cirurgia, melhora da força muscular em metade dos pacientes, melhora da sensibilidade em metade dos pacientes. A diminuição da dosagem da prednisona após a cirurgia foi constante e significativa após a operação.
In this study, the authors assess the results of 35 surgical ulnar nerve decompression procedures performed on 28 leprous patients. The parameters employed included the visual analogue scale, the behavioral scale, the muscle strength evaluation, the esthesiometry and the evaluation of the effect of the procedure on decreasing postoperative corticoid therapy doses. Early resolution of pain was seen after surgery, muscle strength increased in half of the patients, sensitivity increased in half of the patients, with ongoing and significant decrease of prednisone doses after surgery.
