  • association of airway obstruction sleep and phasic Abdominal Muscle activity after upper Abdominal surgery
    BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2001
    Co-Authors: M.q. Rahman, R.n. Kingshott, P. K. Wraith, W.h. Adams, Gordon B. Drummond
    Abstract:

    We recorded nasal gas flow, sleep stage, and Abdominal Muscle EMG pattern in 11 patients throughout the night after Abdominal surgery, to examine the association between phasic activity of the Abdominal Muscles, sleep stage, and flow disturbance. We used a miniaturized data logging system, and obtained satisfactory records in eight patients. The data were divided into 30-s epochs. Each epoch was classified as either awake or asleep. The epochs were also classified for the presence of phasic activity in the external Oblique Abdominal Muscle, and for evidence of airway obstruction. Association between these features was tested by a quasi likelihood log linear model. Values given are median (quartiles) for the eight subjects. Sleep occurred for 62 (46-69)% of the study time. During sleep, inspiratory flow was normal for 69 (48-81)% of the time, whereas during wakefulness, the flow pattern was normal for 51 (28-77)% of the time. Phasic activity was present 16 (12-25)% of the time during sleep and 24 (19-37)% of the time during wakefulness (P<0.001). In the awake state, when breathing was normal, phasic activity was present 16 (11-30)% of the time. When breathing was obstructed, phasic activity was present 38 (25-44)% of the time (P<0.001). These surprising findings suggest that sleep may be seriously disturbed by airway obstruction, so that a stable sleep state is not reached. We could not confirm previous findings that disturbed breathing in post-operative patients only occurs during sleep.

    Abstract:

    Introduction This paper presents a new surgical technique of inguinal hernia repair in which both crura of the aponeurosis of the external Oblique Abdominal Muscle and transverse fascia were used for complex reconstruction of the entire musculopectineal hiatus.

  • Inguinal hernia repair with the peduncled fascial flap: a new surgical technique
    Hernia, 2008
    Co-Authors: R. Kuśnierczyk, W. Piątkowski, A. Wójcik
    Abstract:

    Introduction This paper presents a new surgical technique of inguinal hernia repair in which both crura of the aponeurosis of the external Oblique Abdominal Muscle and transverse fascia were used for complex reconstruction of the entire musculopectineal hiatus. Material and methods Between 2nd December 2003 and 29th April 2005, 250 patients (233 male and 17 female) underwent inguinal hernia repairs using our own technique. The inguinal canal was opened together with the posterior wall, dividing the transverse fascia into two flaps. The lower flap was inserted into the femoral opening and sewn to the pectineal ligament, whereas the upper flap with both crura of the aponeurosis of the external Oblique Abdominal Muscle were used for three-fascia reconstruction of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. The study group was randomly chosen from patients undergoing surgery due to inguinal hernias in our hospital. Procedures were carried out under subarachnoid anaesthesia; postoperative pain was treated with methamizol or ketoprofen. Patients were discharged 48 h after surgery. Results The postoperative complications included one hernia recurrence and one testicular atrophy. The remaining complications were transient and included prolonged wound healing, transient skin hypoaesthesia around the wound or testis oedema. Conclusions The technique used strengthens the musculopectineal hiatus, effectively preventing recurrences of inguinal as well as femoral hernias.
