Postoperative Problems

Vagotomy, accompanied by either gastroenterostomy or pyloroplasty, has become the most commonly used operation for duodenal ulcer. A few specialised units prefer selective vagotomy which preserves the extragastric vagal fibres running to gall bladder, pancreas and small bowel.1 2 Some surgeons also use vagotomy to treat gastric ulcer.1–3 These procedures are at least as successful as partial gastrectomy,4 but the metabolic effects may be less severe. The main postoperative problems are recurrent ulcer and a specific form of diarrhoea.

Joining Process

Electrosurgical vessel sealing, a tissue joining process, has been widely used in surgical procedures, such as prostatectomies for bleeding control. The heat generated during the process may cause thermal damages to the surrounding tissues which can lead to detrimental postoperative problems. Having better understanding about the thermal spread helps to minimize these undesired thermal damages. The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of tissue thermal conductivity during the joining process. We propose a hybrid method combining experimental measurement with inverse heat transfer analysis to determine thermal conductivity of thin tissue sample. Instead of self-heating the tissue by the thermistor, we apply an external cold boundary on the other side of the tissue sample to stimulate a higher temperature gradient without denaturing the tissue in comparison to the heated method. The inverse heat transfer technique was then applied to determine the tissue thermal conductivity. Tissue thermal conductivity at different levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of the joining process was measured. The results show a decreasing trend in tissue thermal conductivity with increasing joining level. When the tissue is fully joined, an average of 60% reduction in tissue thermal conductivity was found.

Postoperative Problems

Neonatal cleft lip repair is no longer an unusual procedure and several series have been published to date. We present our 3-year experience from the anesthesiologist's point of view. Preoperative evaluation, perioperative management, and postoperative problems are described. A thorough preoperative evaluation in order to exclude associated malformations (especially cardiac) and experience in neonatal anesthesia are essential for the sake of safety.
