This video depicts tracheostomy being performed. This procedure bypasses the normal air passage and creates a direct passage into the trachea just below the voice box. This is a life saving procedure in patients who have respiratory obstruction above the level of vocal cords
Technique was suggested by Nissen as a surgical treatment for the Gastro-Esophageal Reflux GERD and a 360 degrees wrap of fundus of the stomach is fashioned by means of 3 sutures around the lower end of esophagus.
Collis was the first to perform it laparoscopic.
Pectus excavatum (hollow chest) deformity is not uncommon (sometimes mild and other times severe in its form). The chest deformity is often the source of self-consciousness for the patients while growing up. Several surgical techniques (Nuss procedure, Ravitch procedure, etc) are available.
Dr. David Rivadeneira from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, NY will host a panel discussion on how to obtain improved outcomes during open surgery through the application of advanced techniques and technologies, including the new LigaSure Impact™ instrument. "It provides excellent and reliable hemostasis on major blood vessels, but the big advancement is that it is faster than traditional techniques and leaves no foreign material behind."
The program will begin with a brief introduction of the topic, followed by video presentation of two procedures, a right hemicolectomy and a sigmoid colectomy. Dr. Rivadeneira will discuss the techniques that he uses. "You'll be able to see the impact of applying multifunctional energy-based instruments to enable rapid and reliable dissection of the mesentery and ligation of colonic blood supply. This is particularly evident on tough diverticular cases, where it works very well with complicated tissue." Joining Dr. Rivadeneira, to review and discuss the cases, will be Dr. Sang Lee from Weill Cornell Medical College, NY.
The BMHR uses the same socket (hydroxyapatite-coated metal uncemented cup) and bearing(metal on metal) as the BHR. The modular head component fits onto a hydroxyapatite proximal porous coated cobalt chrome stem. It is an uncemented short stemmed prosthesis. It was invented by Prof. Dereck Mc.Minn a year ago and is performed by very few surgeons the world over. In India it is being done only at the Asian Regional Center for Hip Resurfacing in Chennai.
