The traditional method produced less reversible cellular damage (swelling) than laser lipolysis using 1,000 J (in). The area receiving 3,000 J (in) showed major irreversible damage (cytoplasmatic retraction and disruption of membranes). For this reason, the mean diameter of the adipocyte was less.
Our data confirm the safety and feasibility of right laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and we believe that the right kidney should not be avoided for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy when indicated.
RESUMO: Objetivo:As lesões traumáticas pancreáticas são pouco freqüentes após trauma abdominal fechado ou penetrante. O objetivo deste estudo retrospectivo é analisar a experiência de um serviço universitário e relatar os fatores prognósticos e o tratamento cirúrgico instituído. Método: Foram selecionados e revisados os prontuários dos pacientes portadores de trauma pancreático durante um período de nove anos em um hospital universitário nível terciário de trauma e os parâmetros analisados foram: mecanismo do trauma, presença de choque na admissão, grau da lesão pancreática, escore de trauma, tratamento cirúrgico, complicações e mortalidade. Resultados: Oitenta e nove pacientes foram identificados e o diagnóstico foi realizado durante a laparotomia em todos os casos. Os traumas abdominais penetrantes foram responsáveis por 67,4% dos casos. Utilizando a Escala de Lesões de Órgãos, as lesões grau II e III foram as mais comuns e o tratamento foi definido de acordo com o grau e o local da lesão. A mortalidade global foi de 21,3% e significativamente maior nos pacientes que apresentaram choque na admissão, lesões pancreáticas grau IV e V, e Escore de Gravidade da Lesão (ISS) elevado. Conclusões: A lesão pancreática é um fenômeno raro, porém com elevada mortalidade, que está intimamente relacionada à presença de choque na admissão, ao grau da lesão pancreática e ao escore de trauma (Rev. Col. Bras. Cir. 2004; 31(5): 332-337) -ISSN 0100-6991.Descritores: Pâncreas; Lesão pancreática; Tratamento.
ABSTRACTBackground: Traumatic lesions of the pancreas following blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma are infrequent. The aim of this retrospective study on traumatic pancreatic injuries was to assess the experience of an academic center and to report prognostic factors and surgical treatment. Methods: Patients with pancreatic injuries were identified during a 9-year period from the registries of a level I trauma center and medical records were reviewed. Parameters analyzed were mechanism of injury, presence of shock, degree of injury, trauma score, operative management, outcome, morbidity and mortality. Results: Eighty-nine patients sustaining pancreatic injuries were identified and diagnosis was made during laparotomy in all cases. Penetrating abdominal trauma was observed in 67.4% of the cases. Using the Organ Injury Scale, grade II and III wounds were more common and management was defined according to the degree and site of injury. Mortality was 21.3% and it was significantly higher in patients presenting shock on admission, pancreatic injury grades IV and V and higher Injury Severity Score (ISS). Conclusion: Pancreatic injury is a rare but deadly phenomenon and mortality rate is related to the presence of shock on admission, degree of pancreatic injury and trauma scores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
