Identification of anastomotic sites with radiopaque markers.

Routine marking of the anastomotic site in gastrointestinal and biliary tract operations by hemoclips is a useful adjunct in the study and interpretation of postoperative roentgenologic studies. The addition of this simple maneuver has been greeted with enthusiasm by our radiologists. We suggest that the use of hemoclips be made routine in gastrointestinal and biliary tract operations.

Ultrasonography in hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgery.

The use of ultrasonography has been a relatively recent development in abdominal surgery. It is used in vascular and renal surgery, but some of the more exciting and widely applicable developments in operative ultrasonography have occurred in hepatic, biliary and pancreatic surgery.

[Relaparotomy: the indications, procedure and results].

Based on an analysis of 284 observations amounting to 1.8% of the total number of operations on organs of the abdominal cavity the authors give more exact indications to early relaparotomy and to more optimal methods to eliminate complications appearing after primary operations. They recommend wider use of additional methods of diagnosis of postoperative complications which will result in less lethality after relaparotomies.

n-Butyl cyanoacrylate adhesive for skin closure of abdominal wounds: preliminary results.

Tissue adhesives offer significant potential advantages over traditional methods of wound closure. A new n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate adhesive formulation was utilised for the closure of abdominal wounds after general and laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. One hundred and two patients with 240 wounds were recruited. Wounds were classified as > 10 cm, n = 39; 5-9 cm, n = 27; and < 5 cm, n = 176. Complications included one small seroma and two partial superficial dehiscences. There were no incidences of wound infection. This preliminary study indicates that this tissue adhesive can safely and effectively be utilised for general abdominal wound closure. It should now be subjected to the rigorous of a randomised controlled trial to compare its performance against the more traditional methods of wound closure.

Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) response after major neonatal surgery.

Surgical stress induces systemic endocrine-metabolic responses that influence the function of endothelial cells (EC) to cause various systemic reactions. Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 is an adhesion molecule that plays an important role in inflammation, and increased expression of ICAM-1 on EC is a reflection of EC activation. In this study, we investigated the ICAM-1 response to surgical stress in neonates undergoing major surgery. Fifteen neonates (mean age at surgery: 3.5 +/- 1.2 days) were divided into two groups according to indications for surgery: Group I: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia without persistent pulmonary hypertension (n = 5); Group II: Gastrointestinal surgery [n = 10: duodenal atresia (n = 3), intestinal atresia (n = 6), and esophageal atresia (n = 1)]. Serum samples were obtained preoperatively, immediately after completion of surgery (time zero), and 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h after surgery to measure ICAM-1 levels using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell count (WBC). Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases. ICAM-1 levels in both groups increased significantly within 24 h of surgery (Group I: P = 0.0038, Group II: P = 0.0320). In Group I, ICAM-1 peaked 72 h postoperatively while in Group II it continued to rise until 96 h postoperatively. The difference between peak levels reached was not significant. CRP was first detected 24 h postoperatively in both groups and continued to increase until 48 h postoperatively. Again, the difference between peak levels reached was not significant. No significant changes in WBC were observed in either group. We found that ICAM-1 increases in response to surgical stress in neonates, although there was no significant difference in levels. However, surgical stress as represented by serum ICAM-1 would appear to last longer with intestinal surgery than with non-intestinal surgery. Further research is required to establish the usefulness of ICAM-1 as an easily detectable substance associated with endothelial damage that reflects the host's response to major surgical stress.
