  • pet ct pattern analysis for Surgical Staple line recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer
    American Journal of Roentgenology, 2010
    Co-Authors: Paul B. Shyn, Rachna Madan, ş Mehmet Erturk, Stuart G. Silverman
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine whether 18F-FDG PET/CT interpretation with metabolic–anatomic pattern analysis can be used to accurately assess for Surgical Staple line recurrence after colorectal cancer resection.MATERIALS AND METHODS. Seventy-nine consecutive patients with previous Surgical resection of colorectal cancer were studied retrospectively. The Surgical anastomotic or Hartmann's pouch Staple lines were evaluated for presence or absence of tumor recurrence with FDG PET/CT metabolic–anatomic pattern analysis. Focal, eccentric, or perianastomotic CT masses with any associated PET pattern were regarded as positive for Staple line recurrence. If the perianastomotic CT abnormality was presacral in location, then FDG uptake at least as intense as normal liver was required for positive interpretation. Eccentric or perianastomotic PET patterns matched with normal or diffuse thickening CT patterns were regarded as indeterminate. Presence or absence of recurrent tumor was confirmed b...

  • Beyond the “B”: a new concept of the Surgical Staple enabling miniature Staplers
    Surgical endoscopy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Stefanos Demertzis, Oligca Beslac, Daniel Mettler, Daniel Zalokar, Taylor Spangler, Bernard Hausen, Lee L. Swanstrom
    Abstract:

    Background Surgical Staplers currently all rely on the same Staple form—the “B” which necessitates a high delivery profile (12 mm). A novel “D” shape Staple allows for an extremely low profile of the applicator. The acute and long-term efficacy of a D-shaped Staple (Cardica, Redwood City, CA, USA) was compared to conventional B-form Staples (Covidien, Norwalk, CN, USA) in an animal model for intestinal transections and anastomoses.

  • Bilateral lung volume reduction surgery for treatment of emphysema.
    AORN journal, 1996
    Co-Authors: D M Dickey
    Abstract:

    Patients suffering from chronic pulmonary emphysema can benefit from a new Surgical technique that offers them relief from chronic dyspnea and declining quality of life. Bilateral lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) involves an innovative Surgical stapling technique for removing emphysematous lung tissue. To prevent persistent air leaks, surgeons use bovine pericardium strips to reinforce Surgical Staple lines created during bilateral LVRS. Perioperative nurses should understand the disease process of chronic pulmonary emphysema, bilateral LVRS techniques, and possible postoperative complications to provide quality nursing care for patients undergoing LVRS procedures.
