RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The Scarborough Health Network joined the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) in fiscal year 2017-2018 with interest in tracking surgical outcomes in General and Vascular Surgery patients. Results of the ACS NSQIP program revealed poor outcomes in 30-day urinary tract infection (UTI) rates in this population group. Results were in the lowest quartile compared to peer hospitals. To improve patient care, SHN initiated a multi-pronged quality improvement plan (QIP). METHODS: The QIP focused on several improvements: (1) clarify the current state and conduct a root cause analysis, (2) determine a plan to encourage early removal of catheters in post-surgical patients, (3) enhance team communication in the pre-operative, operative and post-operative care environments, and (4) improve education around UTI prevention and treatment. RESULTS: This study demonstrates the success of the quality improvement plan to improve a peri-operative complication in surgical patients. By 2019, SHN saw a significant decrease in UTI rates, and became a top decile performer in ACS NSQIP. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the feasibility and success of implementing a quality improvement project, and its methods can be adapted at other hospital sites to improve patient care.

RESUMO

Resumen Los fracasos y complicaciones en el campo de la cirugía bucal son analizados generalmente desde un punto de vista técnico o biológico. En términos generales, a partir del espíritu fragmentario del conocimiento, se tiende a enfocar la atención odontológica en la parte técnica y teórica. Actualmente se están produciendo cambios socioculturales que están generando modificaciones en los paradigmas de la atención odontológica, considerando también la comunicación con el paciente y la situación psicológica tanto del paciente como del equipo profesional. En este editorial se busca reflexionar sobre estos temas analizando perspectivas más integradas para lograr un mayor equilibrio en la atención profesional.


Abstract Failures and complications in the field of oral surgery are generally analyzed from a technical or biological point of view. In general terms, based on the fragmentary spirit of knowledge, dental care tends to be focused on the technical and theoretical knowledge. We are currently witnessing sociocultural changes that are producing modifications in the paradigms of dental care, also considering communication with the patient and the psychological situation of both the patient and the professional team. This editorial seeks to reflect on these issues, considering the most integrated visions to achieve greater balance in professional care.

RESUMO

Este estudio, una serie de 2casos y revisión de la literatura, pretende describir el segundo y tercer caso conocido de hemorragia supracoroidea diferida (DSCH) tras una queratoplastia endotelial automatizada con pelado de Descemet (DSAEK). La hemorragia supracoroidea consiste en la presencia de sangre en el espacio supracoroideo. La agudeza visual final no suele superar el 0,1 (escala decimal). Ambos casos presentan factores de riesgo: alta miopía, cirugía intraocular previa, hipertensión arterial o estar anticoagulados. El diagnóstico de hemorragia supracoroidea diferida se realizó en la primera visita de seguimiento: referían dolor intenso y agudo horas después de la cirugía. Fueron tratados con drenaje transescleral. La hemorragia supracoroidea diferida es una complicación rara pero devastadora y puede ocurrir después de un trasplante lamelar, como la queratoplastia endotelial automatizada con pelado de Descemet. Conocer esta complicación así como sus factores de riesgo permitirá un diagnóstico precoz, lo que mejorará el pronóstico de los pacientes (AU)


This study, a case series of 2patients and a literature review, aims to describe the second and third known cases of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). The suprachoroidal hemorrhage is defined as the presence of blood in the suprachoroidal space; final visual acuity is rarely greater than 0.1 (decimal scale). Both cases presented had known risk factors: high myopia, previous ocular surgeries, arterial hypertension, and being under anticoagulant therapy. The diagnosis of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage was made at the 24-hour follow-up visit, as they recalled a sudden and tremendous acute pain hours after surgery. Both cases were drained through a scleral approach. Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage is a rare but devastating consequence that can occur after DSAEK. Awareness of the most critical risk factors allows for early identification, which is of paramount importance for the prognosis of these patients (AU)

RESUMO

El sangrado uterino anómalo es una consulta frecuente en el ámbito de la ginecología que tiene una gran repercusión física, emocional y social. En la actualidad existen diferentes tratamientos, y el manejo dependerá de cada situación.El tratamiento definitivo es la realización de una histerectomía, que debe ser el último recurso tras haber agotado las alternativas médicas, ya que no está exenta de riesgos. Es importante evaluar las comorbilidades asociadas a cada paciente y siempre que sea posible y factible se debe optar por la cirugía mínimamente invasiva.En los países en vías de desarrollo, la cirugía sigue siendo el tratamiento de primera elección debido a la falta de recursos para optar por las nuevas terapias médicas. Además, el acceso a las técnicas quirúrgicas mínimamente invasivas también está más restringido. El gran desafío es intentar garantizar un acceso equitativo a los recursos y a las mejoras a nivel mundial.(AU)


Abnormal uterine bleeding is a frequent reason for consultation in the field of gynaecology of great physical, emotional, and social impact. There are several current treatment options, and management depends on the clinical scenario.The definitive treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding involves performing a hysterectomy which is not risk free. An exhaustive evaluation of the comorbidities and, whenever feasible, minimally invasive surgery should be performed.In developing countries, surgery remains the first choice for abnormal uterine bleeding treatment due to the lack of resources to access the new medical therapies available. Access to minimally invasive surgical techniques is also more restricted. For this reason, the big challenge is to ensure equal access to resources and improvements around the world.(AU)

RESUMO

Object Since the atlantoaxial region have critical neurovascular anatomy and limited bone surface for fusion, the application and choice of salvage fixation techniques are highly important. To discuss alternative posterior atlantoaxial fixation surgery techniques. Methods We retrospectively surgical records of 22 patients that posterior atlantoaxial fixation techniques were applied. Results The patients included 11 males and 11 females (mean age: 65.7 years). The fracture type that caused instability is type 2 odontoid fractures (22). In six of these patients alternative stabilization techniques were applied due to anatomical variations, huge venous bleeding and iatrogenic trauma of the screw entry points during surgery. Conclusions Owing to anatomical variations, intraoperative challenges, and/or instrumentation failures, performing alternative surgical fixation technique is an important factor that affects the success of stabilization of the atlantoaxial region. Knowledge of salvage techniques especially during the learning curve is vitally important. Surgeons should adapt to intraoperative surgical challenges as required (AU)


Objetivo Dado que la región atlantoaxial tiene una anatomía neurovascular crítica y una superficie ósea limitada para la fusión, la elección y la aplicación de las técnicas de fijación de rescate son muy importantes. El objetivo de este estudio es describir técnicas alternativas de cirugía de fijación atlantoaxial posterior. Métodos Realizamos retrospectivamente registros quirúrgicos de 22 pacientes a los que se les aplicaron técnicas de fijación atlantoaxial posterior. Resultados Entre los pacientes se incluyeron 11 varones y 11 mujeres (edad media: 65,7 años). El tipo de fractura que causó inestabilidad fue la fractura de odontoides tipo 2 (22). En seis de estos pacientes se aplicaron técnicas alternativas de estabilización debido a variaciones anatómicas, sangrado venoso considerable y trauma iatrogénico en los puntos de entrada del tornillo durante la cirugía. Conclusiones Debido a variaciones anatómicas, dificultades intraoperatorias y/o fallas de instrumentación, la realización de una técnica de fijación quirúrgica alternativa es un factor importante que afecta el éxito de la estabilización de la región atlantoaxial. Conocer las técnicas de salvamento, especialmente durante la curva de aprendizaje, es de vital importancia. Los cirujanos deben adaptarse a los desafíos quirúrgicos intraoperatorios, según sea necesario (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Late kidney transplant complication might compromise graft durability, thus the need for early detection and treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A PubMed review including the following MeSH terms was included: kidney transplant¨, ¨complications¨, ¨vascular complications¨,¨transplant renal artery stenosis¨, ¨ureteral obstruction¨,¨urologic complications¨, ¨forgotten stent¨, ¨vesicoureteralreflux¨, ¨urinary lithiasis¨ e ¨incisional hernia¨. Metanalysis and systematic review in spanish and English were included from January 2015 till February 2021, as well as relevant selected manuscripts. RESULTS: We defined as late complications those appearing at 3 months from kidney transplant. Those include vascular complications (renal artery stricture), urinary tract (ureteral stricture, permanent double Js, pyelonephritis due to reflux, urinary stones) and abdominal wall (incisional hernia). CONCLUSIONS: Late kidney transplant complications remain high still with advancement on surgical technique and immunotherapy. Those complication might compromise the graft durability and so early detection is or primary importance.


OBJETIVO: Las complicaciones tardías del trasplante renal pueden comprometer de manera importante la viabilidad del injerto, por lo que debemos detectarlas y tratarlas de manera precoz.MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Realizamos una revisión bibliográfica en PubMed utilizando los términos MeSH ¨kidney transplant¨, ¨complications¨, ¨vascular complications¨, ¨transplant renal artery stenosis¨, ¨ureteralobstruction¨, ¨urologic complications¨, ¨forgotten stent¨,¨vesicoureteral reflux¨, ¨urinary lithiasis¨ e ¨incisionalhernia¨. Se incluyeron metaanálisis, revisiones y revisiones sistemáticas en inglés y español, desde enero de2015 hasta febrero de 2021, así como las referencias más relevantes incluidas en los artículos seleccionados. RESULTADOS: Definimos como complicaciones tardías aquellas que suelen aparecer a partir del tercer mes trasla realización del trasplante. Dentro de ellas se incluyen complicaciones vasculares (estenosis de la arteria renal), de la vía urinaria (estenosis ureteral, catéteres ureterales no retirados, pielonefritis secundarias a reflujovesico-ureteral y litiasis urinaria) y de pared (hernia incisional). CONCLUSIONES: A pesar de los avances, tanto médicos (inmunosupresión) como en la técnica quirúrgica, en el trasplante renal, todavía son frecuentes las complicaciones a largo plazo. Estas complicaciones pueden comprometer la viabilidad del injerto renal, lo que hace necesario que sean detectadas lo antes posible, y no demorar su tratamiento.

RESUMO

Introducción: La pérdida de funcionalidad es una condición común en adultos mayores con cáncer y la decisión de intervenir quirúrgicamente depende de las comorbilidades y estado funcional. Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el estado funcional y complicaciones quirúrgicas en adultos mayores varones con cáncer en el Centro Médico Naval. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de tipo cohorte retrospectiva, análisis secundario de una base de datos de adultos mayores varones con cáncer, seguidos por dos años y atendidos en el Centro Médico Naval del Perú. Las variables fueron: complicaciones quirúrgicas, estado funcional, comorbilidades, síndromes geriátricos y tipo de cáncer. Resultados: Se evaluó a 385 participantes, edad promedio de 79,69 años (desviación estándar = 4,55). El 39,74 por ciento (n =153) presentó complicaciones quirúrgicas, con una asociación a la presencia de comorbilidades, presencia de dos o más síndromes geriátricos 69,93 por ciento (n =107), dependencia funcional para actividades básicas 51,63 por ciento (n =79) y dependencia funcional para actividades instrumentales 35,95 por ciento (n = 55). De acuerdo con la frecuencia de complicaciones según el tipo de neoplasia se encontró más frecuente para cáncer colorrectal en un 46,41 por ciento (n = 71). Conclusiones: Existe una asociación significativa entre la dependencia funcional y complicaciones quirúrgicas, por lo que es importante no solamente para el tratamiento quirúrgico sino también farmacológico, considerar el estado funcional del paciente para un tratamiento favorable y por lo tanto un mejor pronóstico(AU)


Introduction: Loss of functionality is a common condition in older adults with cancer, while any decision to intervene surgically depends on comorbidities and functional status. Objective: To determine the association between functional status and surgical complications in male older adults with cancer at Centro Médico Naval. Methods: A retrospective cohort-type study was carried out, with secondary analysis of a database of male older adults with cancer followed up for two years and treated at Centro Médico Naval of Peru. The variables were surgical complications, functional status, comorbidities, geriatric syndromes and type of cancer. Results: A number of 385 participants were assessed. Their mean age was 79.69 years (standard deviation: 4.55). 39.74 percent (n=153) presented surgical complications, with an association to the presence of comorbidities, the presence of two or more geriatric syndromes in 69.93 percent (n=107), functional dependence for basic activities in 51.63 percent (n=79), and functional dependence for instrumental activities in 35.95 percent (n=55). Regarding the frequency of complications according to type of neoplasm, the most frequent occurrence was that of colorectal cancer, accounting for 46.41 percent (n=71). Conclusions: There is a significant association between functional dependence and surgical complications, a reason why it is important, not only in surgical but also in pharmacological treatment, to consider the functional status of the patient in view of a favorable treatment and, therefore, a better prognosis(AU)

RESUMO

ANTECEDENTES: Los abordajes quirúrgicos de la región selar han sido un reto para los neurocirujanos. Con la introducción de la técnica endoscópica se ha minimizado el trauma quirúrgico, pero esta técnica no se encuentra exenta de complicaciones. OBJETIVO: Describir nuestra experiencia institucional en pacientes sometidos a resección de macroadenomas hipofisarios por vía microquirúrgica endonasal transesfenoidal asistida por endoscopia con énfasis en las complicaciones resultantes. MÉTODO: Revisamos los expedientes electrónicos de 17 pacientes sometidos a dicho procedimiento de manera consecutiva entre 2017 y 2018, y recabamos variables como edad, sexo, clasificación imagenológica, tiempo de diagnóstico al momento de la cirugía, complicaciones posoperatorias y recurrencia. RESULTADOS: La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 45.23 años y el 70.59% eran mujeres. Radiológicamente predominó el grado 2 Knosp (47.05%). La complicación principal fue diabetes insípida transitoria (23.52%), seguida por la fístula de líquido cefalorraquídeo (11.76%). CONCLUSIONES: El manejo microquirúrgico asistido por endoscopia ha demostrado ser un recurso valioso para tratar macroadenomas hipofisarios, pero presenta grados variables de complicaciones, por lo cual se requiere la adquisición de habilidades para el uso del endoscopio, la planeación preoperatoria adecuada y el manejo conjunto multidisciplinario con el fin de evitarlas. BACKGROUND: Surgical approaches to the sellar region have been a challenge for the neurosurgeon. With the introduction of the endoscopic technique, surgical trauma has been minimized, however it is not free of complications. OBJECTIVE: To describe our institutional experience in patients undergoing resection of pituitary macroadenomas by endoscopic-assisted microsurgical approach, with emphasis on the resulting complications. METHOD: We reviewed the electronic files of 17 patients who underwent this procedure consecutively between 2017 and 2018, collecting variables such as age, sex, imaging classification, time of diagnosis at the time of surgery, postoperative complications and recurrence. RESULTS: The average age of the patients was 45.23 years, with 70.59% women. Radiologically, grade 2 Knosp predominated (47.05%). The main complication was transient diabetes insipidus (23.52%) followed by cerebrospinal fluid fistula (11.76%). CONCLUSIONS: The endoscopic-assisted microsurgical approach has proven to be a valuable resource for treating pituitary macroadenomas, however it presents variable degrees of complications, which requires the acquisition of skills for the use of the endoscope, adequate preoperative planning, and multidisciplinary joint management in order to avoid them.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: la propia asistencia médica provoca, en determinadas situaciones, problemas de salud que pueden llegar a ser importantes para el enfermo. El análisis de la mortalidad es uno de los parámetros utilizados para investigar la seguridad en la realización de procederes de cirugía mayor. Objetivo: determinar los factores asociados a la mortalidad operatoria en cirugías mayores. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, de los pacientes que fallecieron tras la realización de una cirugía mayor, en el Hospital Militar Docente Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy, de Matanzas, en el período comprendido de enero de 2011 a diciembre de 2019. Resultados: la tercera edad aportó 77,3 % de los fallecidos. La hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus y cardiopatía isquémica fueron las principales comorbilidades. El abdomen agudo fue el diagnóstico operatorio más frecuente con 98 (58,3 %). Las complicaciones aportaron el 11,9 % de los fallecidos; los eventos adversos, 29,7 %, y por el curso natural de la enfermedad, murió un 58,3 %. El síndrome de disfunción múltiple de órganos y el shock séptico resultaron las principales causas de muerte (62 %). Conclusiones: la mortalidad operatoria estuvo asociada a factores de riesgo como edad avanzada, enfermedades crónicas y cirugía de urgencia. Los eventos adversos elevan la incidencia de mortalidad en cirugía mayor. Las infecciones son la principal causa de mortalidad operatoria (AU).


ABSTRACT Introduction: medical care itself causes, in certain situations, health problems that could be very important for the patient. The mortality analysis is one of the parameters used to study safety performing procedures of major surgery. Objective: to determine the factors associated to operatory mortality in major surgeries. Materials and methods: a retrospective, descriptive and observational study was carried out of the patients who passed away after undergoing a major surgery in the Military Hospital Dr. Mario Munoz Monroy in the period between January 2011 and December 2019. Results: 77.3 % of the deceased were elder people. The main co-morbidities were arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease. The most frequent surgery diagnosis was acute abdomen with 98 patients (58.3 %). Complications yielded 11.9 % of the deceases, adverse events 29.7 % and 58.3 % died due to the natural course of the disease. The organs multiple dysfunction syndrome and septic shock were the main causes of dead (62 %). Conclusions: operatory mortality was associated to risk factors like advanced age, chronic diseases and emergency surgery. The adverse events increase mortality incidence in major surgery. Infections are the main causes of operatory mortality (AU).

RESUMO

Abstract Background: This study describes 35 years of experience in a tertiary care level hospital that treats cardiac patients with univentricular heart physiology who underwent Glenn surgery. Methods: The study consisted of a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent Glenn surgery, including variables related to pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative morbidity and mortality. Results: From 1980 to 2015, 204 Glenn surgeries were performed. The most common heart disease was tricuspid atresia IB (19.2%). In 48.1% of the cases, the procedure was performed with antegrade flow. A bilateral Glenn procedure was performed in 12.5% of the cases and 10.3% were carried out without using a cardiopulmonary bypass pump. Reported complications included infections, bleeding, arrhythmias, chylothorax, neurological alterations, and pleural effusion. The mortality rate was 2.9% Conclusions: Glenn surgery is a palliative surgery with good results. It significantly improves patient quality of life over a long period until a total cavopulmonary shunt is performed. The complications observed are few, and the mortality rate is low. Therefore, it is a safe surgery that should be used for univentricular congenital heart disease.


Resumen Introducción: El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la experiencia de 35 años en un hospital de tercer nivel con pacientes cardiópatas con fisiología univentricular que fueron sometidos a cirugía de Glenn. Métodos: Se presenta un análisis retrospectivo de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía de Glenn. Se incluyeron variables relacionadas con la morbilidad y la mortalidad preoperatorias, transoperatorias y posoperatorias. Resultados: Desde 1980 hasta 2015 se realizaron 204 cirugías de Glenn para la corrección de cardiopatías. De ellas, la más frecuente fue la atresia tricuspídea IB (19.2%); en el 48.1% se realizó Glenn con flujo anterógrado, en el 12.5% Glenn bilateral y el 10.3% de las cirugías fueron sin apoyo de bomba de circulación extracorpórea. Las complicaciones reportadas fueron infecciones, sangrado, arritmias, quilotórax, alteraciones neurológicas y derrame pleural. La mortalidad fue del 2.9%. Conclusiones: La cirugía de Glenn es un procedimiento paliativo que se ha utilizado con buenos resultados. Mejora en forma importante la calidad de vida del paciente durante un largo periodo mientras que se realiza la derivación cavopulmonar total. Presenta pocas complicaciones y muy baja mortalidad, por lo que es una cirugía segura que debe ser utilizada para cardiopatías congénitas univentriculares.

RESUMO

Resumen Objetivo: Reportar y caracterizar las complicaciones quirúrgicas de las apendicectomías laparoscópicas electivas profilácticas, realizadas a pacientes destinados a dotación antártica, realizadas en Hospital clínico de la Fuerza Aérea de Chile (FACh). Materiales y Método: Análisis retrospectivo descriptivo de fichas clínicas de todos los pacientes sometidos a apendicectomía laparoscópica profiláctica entre los años 2013 y 2017 en Hospital FACh. Se registraron variables demográficas y quirúrgicas de los pacientes. Las complicaciones fueron registradas y clasificadas de acuerdo a Clavien-Dindo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 200 pacientes, 96% hombres y solo 4% mujeres. Se registraron 6 pacientes (3%) con complicaciones quirúrgicas, clasificadas como grado I según Clavien-Dindo. Discusión: No existen reportes de complicaciones en apendicectomías profilácticas. En nuestra serie éstas alcanzan el 3%. Conclusiones: La apendicectomía profiláctica es una cirugía segura, con escasas complicaciones, pero existen y se desarrollan en un paciente que estaba previamente sano.


Aim: To present and characterize surgical complications of elective prophylactic appendectomies, performed in patients for the Antarctic endowment at the Hospital Clínico de la Fuerza Aérea de Chile. Materials and Method: Retrospective descriptive analysis of all patients operated of prophylactic laparoscopic appendectomy between 2013 and 2017. Demographic and surgical variables of the patients were recorded and analysed. Complications were classified according Clavien-Dindo. Results: 200 patients were included, 96% mens. Six patients (3%) had a surgical complication, all classified as Grade I. Discussion: There are no previous reports of surgical complications on prophylactics appendectomies. The complications rate is 3%. Conclusions: The prophylactic appendectomy is a safe surgery with a low rate of complications, although its exists and develops in a previously healthy patient.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic of global impact that forced social-political measures to be taken, such as the declaration of the state of alarm in Spain. At the same time, the reorganization of the pediatric medical-surgical activities and infrastructures was carried out, with the consequent suspension of the non-urgent surgical activity of Pediatric Urology. We analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical activity in a Pediatric Urology division, as well as surgical complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review of epidemiological, clinical and surgical data was carried out, including complications and readmissions of all patients operated on in the division of Pediatric Urology within the duration of the state of alarm. Five time periods have been created according to the de-escalation phases. RESULTS: Forty-nine surgical procedures were carried out on 45 patients (8 prior to the implementation of the de-escalation phases). High priority pathologies were the most frequent in the first phases, being the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction the most prevalent. Four complications were recorded (8.8%), none of them were respiratory. CONCLUSIONS: The EAU recommendations for the resumption of surgical activity have allowed a correct, safe and gradual transition to the routine surgical activity in Pediatric Urology. The Clavien-Dindo classification is useful and valid for application in this division. No respiratory complications have been reported that could be attributable to the pandemic situation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Design a care protocol to restart scheduled surgical activity in a Urology service of a third level hospital in the Community of Madrid, in a safe way for our patients and professionals in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus epidemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A multidisciplinary group reviewed the different recommendations of the literature, national and international health organizations and scientific societies, as well as their application to our environment. Once scheduled surgery has restarted, the patients undergoing surgery for complications related to COVID-19 are being followed up. RESULTS: Since the resumption of surgical activity, 19 patients have been scheduled, of which 2 have been suspended for presenting COVID-19, one diagnosed by positive PCR for SARS-CoV-2, and another by laboratory and imaging findings compatible with this infection. With a median follow-up of 10 days (4-14 days), no complications related to COVID-19 were detected. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary results indicate that the protocol designed to ensure the correct application of preventive measures against the transmission of coronavirus infection is being safe and effective.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Transsphenoidal surgical removal is the preferred treatment of most pituitary adenomas. Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is the leading cause of morbidity after this procedure, with an incidence rate that varies from 0,5-15% in the main published series. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to establish the incidence of postoperative CSF leakage in a sample of surgeries performed at the University Hospital of La Ribera by the same surgical team. The secondary objectives were to: ascertain the distinctive features between patients with and without postoperative CSF leakage, identify risk factors for their development, evaluate the relationship between the surgical technique for closing the sella turcica and the onset of postoperative CSF leakage and evaluate different treatment regimens for this complication. METHODS: The data of 302 consecutive transsphenoidal surgical procedures for pituitary adenoma removal which were performed between 1999 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of postoperative CSF leakage in our series was 2,3% (in accordance with similar published studies). It was possible to correlate intraoperative CSF leakage with two variables: pituitary macroadenoma and tumors with suprasellar extension (P<.005). This correlation did not exist for postoperative CSF leakage. We found a statistically significant correlation between intraoperative and postoperative CSF leakage (P<.005). Due to the low incidence of postoperative CSF leakage in our series, it was not possible to identify risk factors for its development.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los pacientes inmunocomprometidos presentan respuesta inflamatoria limitada que puede retrasar el diagnóstico de la apendicitis aguda (AA). OBJETIVO: Evaluar si el inmunocompromiso puede afectar el curso clínico y evolución de la AA. MÉTODO: Análisis retrospectivo, comparativo, de pacientes sometidos a apendicectomía por AA: con VIH, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y sin otra patología. RESULTADOS: Se revisaron 128 pacientes con AA intervenidos quirúrgicamente (53.6 % del sexo femenino), edad media de 42.5 años, 15 (11.7 %) tenían diagnóstico de VIH, 47 (36.7 %) de DM2 y 66 (51.6 %) no cursaban con otra enfermedad. La proporción de leucocitosis fue menor en el grupo con VIH (66.7 %; p = 0.007). En los pacientes con VIH y DM2 se registró mayor tiempo de evolución: 66.9 ± 61.2y 90.1 ± 144 horas (p ≤ 0.001), mayor tiempo de estancia hospitalaria: 11.1 ± 17.1 y 6.5 ± 4.1 días (p ≤ 0.0001), mayor tasa de complicaciones: 20 y 23.8 % (p = 0.036). La complicación más frecuente fue la infección del sitio quirúrgico superficial y profunda. La hemicolectomía derecha fue más frecuente en el grupo con VIH (20 %, p = 0.017). No se registró mortalidad. CONCLUSIONES: La inmunodepresión afecta el curso clínico y evolución de la AA. INTRODUCTION: Immunocompromised patients experience limited inflammatory response, which can delay acute appendicitis (AA) diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To assess if immunosuppression can affect AA clinical course and evolution. METHOD: Comparative, retrospective analysis of patients with HIV or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) or with no other pathology who underwent appendectomy for AA. RESULTS: A total of 128 patients with AA who were surgically intervened were assessed (53.6% were of the female gender); mean age was 42.5 years, 15 (11.7%) had been diagnosed with HIV infection, 47 (36.7%) with DM2 and 66 (51.6%) had no other disease. The proportion of leukocytosis was lower in the HIV group (66.7%; p = 0.007). Patients with HIV and DM2 had longer evolution time (HIV 66.9 ± 61.2, DM2 90.1 ± 144 hours; p ≤ 0.001), longer hospital length of stay (HIV 11.1 ± 17.1, DM2 6.5 ± 4.1 days; p ≤ 0.0001), and a higher rate of complications (HIV 20%, DM2 23.8%; p = 0.036). The most common complication was superficial and deep surgical site infection. Right hemicolectomy was more common in the HIV group (20%; p = 0.017). There was no mortality registered. CONCLUSIONS: Immunosuppression affects AA clinical course and evolution.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Las indicaciones de traqueostomía en niños han cambiado considerablemente en los últimos años, así como el perfil epidemiológico de los pacientes y la morbimortalidad de este procedimiento. Las complicaciones de este procedimiento pueden ser clasificadas en intraoperatorias, inmediatas y tardías. La mortalidad global en pacientes pediátricos llevados a traqueostomía oscila entre el 13% y 19%. Sin embargo, menos del 5% es directamente atribuible a la cirugía. La presente revisión abarcará las complicaciones más frecuentes asociadas a traqueostomía pediátrica con recomendaciones en su prevención y manejo.


ABSTRACT Indications of tracheostomy in children have changed considerably in recent years, as well as the epidemiological profile of patients, and morbidity and mortality related to this procedure. Complications of pediatric tracheostomy can be classified into intraoperative, immediate and late. Overall mortality in pediatric patients with tracheostomy ranges from 13% to 19%. However, less than 5% is directly attributable to tracheostomy. This review will cover the most frequent complications associated with pediatric tracheostomy with recommendations for its prevention and management.
