Let’s get to know about coronary revascularization: Complicated Surgical Procedure

Coronary revascularization is the process of restoring the blood flow to the heart. The surgical procedure involves introducing the new blood vessels around existing blockages which restores necessary blood flow to the cardiac muscle. Once the blood flow is re-introduced normal heart function may return in time.

Off-pump Coronary Revascularization Surgery


This is one of the new methods to eliminate the use of the heart-lung bypass machine in this technique heart continues to beat while the part of surgery is alone being stabilized.




The people who are benefited from the off-pump surgery include:

  • The patients who are over 70 years old
  • The patients with kidney and lung diseases
  • The patients with risk of stroke or carotid artery disease

Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR)


The procedure to relieve the severe chest pain (angina) in very ill patients who are not suitable for bypass surgery or angioplasty. Usually, a small incision is made in the left breast to expose the heart muscles from outside.

To share your views in Cardia Surgery become a part with us in Surgeons Meet 2019.

Surgery and Infection-Mystery behind neurosurgery!

According to a recent study, the thing is that neurosurgery could spread protein linked to Alzheimer's disease.

According to a recent study, the thing is that neurosurgery could spread protein linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Certain researchers found that there may be rare chances for the cause of Alzheimer’s disease through certain proteins associated with the instruments in surgery. Surgical instruments used in neuro operations should be ensured that they are not contaminated with proteins related to Alzheimer’s disease.



The researchers are promoting the surgeons to decontaminate neurosurgical tools more keenly as a precautionary measure to reduce the potential risk of spreading abnormal proteins known to build up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.
Alzheimer’s diseases estimated to affect more than half a million people in Britain. This is the condition that impairs memory and cognitive abilities and is caused by the buildup of toxic protein deposits in the brain. The two kinds of proteins one of them called amyloid beta plaques to form between the nerve cells and the other called tau proteins is found inside the nerve cells.

Still, furthermore research works are carried out to ensure if there is any link between these medical procedures and Alzheimer’s disease.

Rare surgical procedures: Spinal Osteomyelitis and surgery

Osteomyelitis is commonly the spinal infection to explain in detail vertebral osteomyelitis refers to an infection of the vertebral body in the spine. It is sometimes a rare reason for the back pain most probably in healthy adults. Generally, the infection is spread through the vascular route.

The symptoms of the vertebral osteomyelitis include,

  • Back pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Excessive sweating
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Fatigue
  • Pain around the area of infection
  • Inflammation around the area of infection.
  • Torticollis


Tests and diagnosis include, 
  •   Blood tests- complete blood count is done to detect the infection
  •   Erythrocyte sedimentation 
  •  C-reactive protein determination
  •   Radioistopic bone scanning

Surgery:

  • In the cases were the prosthetic joint get infected surgery shall be performed to remove the infected join and replace it with prosthetics.
  • In situation were the large number of bones get infected surgery to be performed to remove the infected bone tissue.

Principles of Surgery: Let’s get to know more

Human tissues due to their natural innate properties react to the injury in a different way. This procedure is called as the mechanism of optimal healing. These are generally known as the principles of surgery.


The decision to surgery is taken based on the facts,
  •                 Full medical history of the patients.
  •          And the radiographic findings, laboratory investigations, and many others.
  •          The necessities of the surgery include,
  •          Adequate visibility and the surgical field free of excess blood and other fluids.

After the surgical procedures, the aseptic techniques to be maintained remains as one of the challenges in the field of surgical infection. There comes
  •          Medical Asepsis
  •          Surgical Asepsis

Incision, flap design, preventing the flap necrosis and flap dehiscence are some of the key facts to be described in the field of surgery.

Hemostasis can be maintained by preserving the patient’s oxygen-carrying capacity and the blood loss which will prevent the formation of hematomas.

Dead space management will also be carefully by the surgeon (Dead Space-area that remains devoid of tissue after the wound closure).

Obesity surgery -Aims and Scope!!!

Due to the change in the lifestyle and changing food habits obesity has become the one of the common problems and the field of surgery related to obesity also gains the great importance.
Some of the common obesity surgeries includes:
  • Adjustable gastric banding
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
  • Biliopancreatic diversion
  • Sleeve gastrectomy
  • One anastomosis gastric bypass

How much weight will the person lose after the bariatric surgery?

The weight loss will be lost gradually, and it is found to commence after the surgical procedures are completed. The amount weight loss generally depends on the patient, i.e it depends on how the patient follows the healthy eating habits, diet and exercise. The normal range of weight loss would be 0.5-1 .0 Kg/week. Totally the long-term weight loss would be expected about 50-60% of the excess weight.
The continuous follow-up with the bariatric clinic clearly shows the follow-up for the successful weight loss. The patients are strictly instructed to follow the dietary instruction as per the guidelines given by the dietician and the multivitamin supplements are also found to be suggested.
