Treatment of large persistent tracheoesophageal peristomal fistulas using silicon rings

Ibrahim Erdim, Ali Ahmet Sirin, Bahadir Baykal, Fatih Oghan, more

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology > 2017 > 83 > 5 > 536-540

Tracheoesophageal peristomal fistulae can often be solved by reducing the size of the fistula or replacing the prosthesis; however, even with conservative techniques, leakage around the fistula may continue in total laryngectomy patients. Also, several techniques have been developed to overcome this problem, including injections around the fistula, fistula closure with local flaps, myofascial flaps,...

Sulcular translation flap in secondary bone grafting: retrospective study of 72 alveolar clefts

M. Paris, R. Paquin, A.-C. Valcourt, M. Paris, more

International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery > 2015 > 44 > 8 > 965-970

Secondary bone grafting from the iliac crest is the gold standard in the reconstruction of maxillary alveolar bone defects in cleft patients. Numerous techniques for this graft have been described, although none is considered clearly superior at this time. A retrospective chart study was performed of 72 alveolar clefts in 59 patients who underwent an alveolar iliac crest bone graft with nasal floor...

A retrospective case series on transvaginal repair of rectovaginal fistula performed by a urogynaecology operative team in Australia

Krishanthy Thayalan, Hannah Krause, Judith Goh

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology > 62 > 2 > 263 - 267

Background Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal epithelialised connection between the rectum and vagina. It is a common condition in limited resource settings and is caused almost exclusively by obstetric injury. In contrast, RVF is uncommonly seen in high resource settings. Aims This study aims to review the aetiology and effectiveness of RVF management in the high resource setting, identifying...

Left ventricular outflow tract to left atrial fistula: A rare long‐term complication of the commando procedure

William H. Marshall, Matthew C. Henn, Thura T. Harfi

Echocardiography > 39 > 1 > 140 - 145

The commando procedure involves aortic and mitral valve replacement with complete reconstruction of the aorto‐mitral curtain. It is often a surgical treatment for invasive infective endocarditis with abscess, or less commonly for radiation‐induced heart disease with extensive calcification extending from the aortic valve onto the anterior mitral leaflet. Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a known long‐term...

Current status in endoscopic management of upper gastrointestinal perforations, leaks and fistulas

Shannon Melissa Chan, Kitty Kit Ying Auyeung, Siu Fung Lam, Philip Wai Yan Chiu, more

Digestive Endoscopy > 34 > 1 > 43 - 62

Recent advancement in endoscopic closure techniques have revolutionized the treatment of gastrointestinal perforations, leaks and fistulas. Traditionally, these have been managed surgically. The treatment strategy depends on the size and location of the defect, degree of contamination, presence of healthy surrounding tissues, patients’ condition and the availability of expertise. One of the basic...

Live surgery of colorectal endometriosis broadcasted from a surgeon’s routine operating theater is not associated with higher complications rate

Horace Roman, Maria Prosszer, Jamil Marabha, Benjamin Merlot, more

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica > 100 > 12 > 2176 - 2185

Introduction Although live surgeries are routinely included in surgical congress programs, they are the subject of an ongoing debate in terms of patient safety and teaching value. The goal of our study was to assess the risk of postoperative complications related to live surgery broadcast from the surgeon's routine theater, in patients managed for deep endometriosis infiltrating the digestive tract...

A unique case of Fusobacterium nucleatum spondylodiscitis communicating with a pleural empyema through a fistula

Barbara Bonnesen, Pradeesh Sivapalan, Hadi Naghavi, Dennis Back Holmgaard, more

APMIS > 129 > 11 > 626 - 630

Species (spp.) belonging to the genus Fusobacterium are anaerobic commensals colonizing the upper respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, and the genitals. Infections with Fusobacterium spp. have been reported at many anatomical sites, including pneumonias and pleural empyemas; however, there are very few published cases of Fusobacterium spp. causing spondylodiscitis or fistulas. Bone infections...

Penetrating chest injury afflicting coronary artery fistula—A delayed and asymptomatic occurrence

Turki B. Albacker, Omar Binsebayel, Ali Alzahrani, Ammar Almansour, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 36 > 10 > 3892 - 3897

We present here a case of a symptomatic chest injury with a nail gun causing a delayed occurrence of coronary artery fistula to the left pulmonary artery presenting with unstable angina 4 years after the initial injury, three of which were symptom‐free. The patient underwent successful surgical closure of the fistula and removal of the foreign body.

Digestive Endoscopy > 33 > 6 > 892 - 902

Background Upper gastrointestinal fistulas, leaks, and perforations represent a high cost burden to health systems worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality rates for affected patients. Management of these transmural defects remains therapeutically challenging. Objectives The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of self‐expanding...

Sonographic detection and localization of fistulas in fetuses with imperforate anus: Case reports

Takashi Kaji, Kazuhisa Maeda, Eishi Sogawa, Atsuko Yoshida, more

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research > 47 > 8 > 2767 - 2772

Imperforate anus (IA) requires urgent treatment after birth, which is dependent on the type of IA, and is also frequently associated with other congenital abnormalities. Most patients with IA have an accompanying fistula, whose location is strongly associated with the type of IA. The fistula location can be a key factor in defining appropriate treatment, especially in neonates presenting with severe...
