Repair of a postesophagectomy bronchogastric tube fistula with polyglactin mesh supported with a muscle flap.

30 Oct 2009 A bronchogastric fistula is a very rare complication of transthoracic esophagectomy. We report a case of bronchogastric fistula after transthoracic esophagectomy caused by dehiscence of the staple line in the gastric tube, with subsequent erosion ... Read more...

Degrees of tolerance in post-traumatic orbital volume correction: the role of prefabricated mesh.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To identify factors influencing the volumetric correction of orbital fractures, and evaluate the use of prefabricated titanium mesh in their repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included patients with unilateral orbital fractures and floor or ... Read more...

Feasibility study of three-nerve-recognizing Lichtenstein procedure for inguinal hernia.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Inguinal nerve identification during open inguinal hernia repair is associated with less chronic postoperative pain. However, most Dutch surgeons do not identify all three inguinal nerves when carrying out this procedure. The aim of this ... Read more...
