This paper is about sinus balloon dilatation in treatment of acute left sphenoid sinusitis with left impaired vision in a child. Balloon catheter dilatation (BCD) of the sinus ostia is a new technique. It has been shown to be a minimally invasive technique to manage chronic sinusitis. However, this method is rarely used in the treatment of acute sinusitis. So far, we know of no reported cases of sinus balloon dilatation in treatment of this case, especially for children.

BACKGROUND: Cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPD) management has been challenging in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injection and balloon catheter dilatation in treating CPD. METHODS: Forty patients with CPD were randomly divided into two groups, namely the botulinum toxin injection group (BTX group) and balloon dilatation group (BD group). Patients in the BTX group received a single ultrasound-guided injection of 50 units of botulinum toxin type A, while the BD group received dilatation therapy five times per week, consecutively for two weeks. Relative opening percentage of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), the penetration-aspiration scale (PAS), and the Dysphagia Outcome Severity Scale (DOSS) were evaluated by a videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) at baseline, 1-month, and 3-months posttreatment. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) were also used to evaluate participants’ swallowing function at baseline and the 1-week, 2-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-ups. RESULTS: A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model revealed the significant main effect for time in UES, PAS, DOSS, FOIS, and SSA compared to baseline (P <0.05), while no group-by-time interactions (except for the PAS assessment) or main effect for treatment was detected among the above multiple variances. No systematic complications or severe adverse effects were noted. CONCLUSION: Both ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin type A injections and balloon dilatation therapy have been proven as safe and effective treatments for CPD patients. Future clinical trials with longer follow-up periods and more participants are warranted.

AbstractObjective:We discuss the use of balloon dilatation to relieve supraglottic stenosis caused by mucous membrane plasmacytosis.Case report:A 54-year-old man with a known diagnosis of mucous membrane plasmacytosis presented with dysphonia and worsening airway obstruction which required a tracheostomy. He underwent balloon dilatation of the supraglottic larynx using an angioplasty balloon within sequentially sized endotracheal tubes. This enabled successful decannulation, with minimal re-stenosis at eight-month follow up.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of supraglottic stenosis caused by plasmacytosis to be successfully treated using this method. We have shown that this minimally invasive technique deals effectively with a complex airway and minimises re-stenosis.

Fibrotic stenosing anastomoses of the common bile duct were surgically created in pigs in order to investigate the effects of percutaneous transhepatic balloon catheter dilatation. In a group of 6 animals, not treated with balloon dilatation, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography and microscopic examination of the stricture were performed 5 to 25 weeks postoperatively. A persistent stenosis and slight to moderate fibrosis of the bile duct wall and peribiliary tissue were observed. In 5 animals the stenotic anastomosis was dilated.4 to 10 weeks postoperatively and this resulted in widening of the stricture and necrosis of the mucosa at the stricture site. Rupture of the fibrotic tissue in the bile duct wall and thrombus formation in the peribiliary veins also occurred in one of these 5 animals. Short-term follow-up in 3 animals 4 to 6 weeks after balloon dilatation showed almost complete fibrotic healing and partial re-stenosis of the anastomoses.

1. We have treated 25 patients with renovascular hypertension with balloon catheter dilatation. 2. In 17 patients, surgical treatment was thought to be either risky or difficult due to the presence of a serious medical condition or because of the peripheral location of the lesion. 3. Seventeen patients had atherosclerotic lesions, six patients had fibromuscular dysplasia and one patient had neurofibromatosis and one had stricture of an aorto-renal bypass graft. 4. Of the total group, six in the atherosclerotic group, three patients with fibromuscular dysplasia and the one with neurofibromatosis are normotensive without medications. 5. Five patients with atherosclerosis, two patients with fibromuscular dysplasia and the patient with aorto-renal bypass graft are either normotensive or have reasonable control of blood pressure with medication. 6. Four technical and treatment failures and three major medical complications were encountered. Recurrence of stenosis occurred in eight patients but none of these was in the fibromuscular dysplasia group.

Abstract Background The quest for better patient outcomes is driving to the development of minimally invasive spine surgical techniques. There are several evidences on the use of microsurgical decompression surgery for degenerative lumbar spine stenosis; however, few of these studies compared their outcomes with the traditional laminectomy technique. Objectives The aim of our study was to compare outcomes following microsurgical decompression via unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression (ULBD) of the spinal canal to the standard open laminectomy for cases with lumbar spinal stenosis. Subjects and methods Cases were divided in two groups. Group (A) cases were operated by conventional full laminectomy; Group (B) cases were operated by (ULBD) technique. Results from both groups were compared regarding duration of surgery, blood loss, perioperative complication, and postoperative outcome and patient satisfaction. Results There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding the improvement of visual pain analogue, while improvement of neurogenic claudication outcome score was significant in group (B) than group (A). Seventy-three percent of group (A) cases and 80% of group (B) stated that surgery met their expectations and were satisfied from the outcome. Conclusion Comparing ULBD with traditional laminectomy showed the efficacy of the minimally invasive technique in obtaining good surgical outcome and patient satisfaction. There was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding the occurrence of complications The ULBD technique was found to respect the posterior spinal integrity and musculature, accompanied with less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and shorter recovery periods than the open laminectomy technique.

Open Bariatric Surgery

Nowadays, obesity represents one of the most unresolved global pandemics, posing a critical health issue in developed countries. According to the World Health Organization, its prevalence has tripled since 1975, reaching a prevalence of 13% of the world population in 2016. Indeed, as obesity increases worldwide, novel strategies to fight this condition are of the utmost importance to reduce obese-related morbidity and overall mortality related to its complications. Early experimental and initial clinical data have suggested that endovascular bariatric surgery (EBS) may be a promising technique to reduce weight and hormonal imbalance in the obese population. Compared to open bariatric surgery and minimally invasive surgery (MIS), EBS is much less invasive, well tolerated, with a shorter recovery time, and is probably cost-saving. However, there are still several technical aspects to investigate before EBS can be routinely offered to all obese patients. Further prospective studies and eventually a randomized trial comparing open bariatric surgery vs. EBS are needed, powered for clinically relevant outcomes, and with adequate follow-up. Yet, EBS may already appear as an appealing alternative treatment for weight management and cardiovascular prevention in morbidly obese patients at high surgical risk.
