Subchondroplasty

Joint preservation is a hot topic in orthopedics right now, as we are faced with an increasing number of patients who want to stay active later in life and are prohibited by early arthritis. One novel technique is the subchondroplasty procedure in which biologic cement is injected into the bone of the prearthritic knee. The cement is injected at sites of bone marrow edema discovered on MRI and thought to be a precursor to arthritis and a significant source of pain in certain patients.

Laparoscopic Tubal Patency Test and Ovarian...

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment that can trigger ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have not responded to weight loss and fertility medication. Electrocautery or laser is used to destroy portions of the ovaries.

Single Incision Robotic-Assisted Donor Nephrectomy

Introduction: Robotic-assisted donor nephrectomy is evolving as an improved method of standard laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. To further reduce the donor morbidity, we are present a case of a single incision robotic-assisted donor nephrectomy. Materials and Methods: A 21 year old female was cleared for left kidney donation to her father. Computed tomography (CT) angio of abdomen revealed normal renal anatomy. The procedure was explained to the patient, it's innovative nature, expected advantages, and potential risks. The patient was placed in a right lateral decubitus position. A single port was inserted through a 5-cm midline incision starting at the umbilicus and extending downwards. Two 12-mm and two 8-mm trocars were placed in a diamond configuration through the port. The robotic system was used for the case. Results: Operative time was 150 minutes with warm ischemia time of 3 min and EBL was 75 ml. The patient was discharged 72 hours after surgery and there were no perioperative complications. Conclusion: Single incision robotic donor nephrectomy can be safely performed using the same incision that is used for extraction of the kidney. This approach can potentially increase the donor pool by further decreasing the invasiveness of living donation Angela Echeverria, MD; Carlos Galvani, MD; Ulises Garza, MD;1 Amit Kaul, MD; Chirag Desai, MD; Tun Jie, MD; Rainer Gruessner, MD University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - Removal of the...

This video shows the fourth step, cleaning and removing the liver , from the Cholecystectomy Removal training exercise from the LapSim laparoscopic simulator by Surgical Science. The objective of this simulation is to clean the burned tissue and remove the liver.

Temporary Bridge using Denture Tooth and Ribbond

Here are 2 cases that I used Ribbond to aid in retaining a denture tooth and Radica tooth. I didn't want the patients to wear a flipper to replace the tooth following a bone graft and implant placement - however- the patient's both wanted some teeth.....Ribbond to the rescue.

Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopic surgery has advanced to the point where arthroscopic treatment of cuff tears has been shown to be superior to open repair in most cases. With modern techniques, even massive tears and cases of "re-tear" after open procedures can be treated with arthroscopy. This video demonstrates two separate arthroscopic repairs.
