“…Ureteral injury caused by either iatrogenic or traumatic reasons is one of the most important types of urinary system injury [1] , [2] . Ureteral injury usually leads to obstruction, hydronephrosis, renal damage, infection, urinary cysts and other urinary system complications, which seriously affect the quality of a patient's life [3] , [4] , [5] .…”

In this work, the biodegradable and histocompatibility properties of pure Mg and ZK60 alloy were investigated as new temporary implants for urinary applications. The corrosion mechanism in artificial urine was proposed using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. The corrosion potential of pure magnesium and ZK60 alloy were −1820 and −1561 mV, respectively, and the corrosion current densities were 59.66 ± 6.41 and 41.94 ± 0.53 μA cm−2, respectively. The in vitro degradation rates for pure Mg and ZK60 alloy in artificial urine were 0.382 and 1.023 mm/y, respectively, determined from immersion tests. The ZK60 alloy degraded faster than the pure Mg in both artificial urine and in rat bladders (the implants of both samples are ø 3 mm × 5 mm). Histocompatibility evaluations showed good histocompatibility for the pure Mg and ZK60 alloy during the 3 weeks post-implantation in rat bladders, and no harm was observed in the bladder, liver and kidney tissues. The results provide key information on the degradation properties and corrosion mechanism of pure Mg and ZK60 alloy in the urinary system.

“…Bladder, testicular, and vas deferens injuries are among the commonly injured visceral organs with groin herniorrhaphy procedures Among the least injured structures are the ureters which are more often seen with the laparoscopic approach-the most common type of injury is incomplete transection of the ureter and ureteral perforation [39][40][41]. Bladder injuries are frequently reported with direct inguinal hernias, and in rare cases could result in a sliding hernia, in which part of the bladder adheres to the hernia sac.…”

Hernia Surgery and Recent Developments

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Incarceration, obstruction and strangulation are well recognized common complications of hernias. Several risk factors determine patients' morbidity and mortality. Hernia surgery complications encompass infections, fascial dehiscence, recurrence, neuralgia, visceral injury, and mesh erosion or migration predetermined by many risk factors. The types and criteria for surgical site infections are defined by the extent of the infection. Whether the open or laparoscopic approaches are attempted, the rates of the respective complications depend on the approach. Post-operative hernias are appreciated because of their prevalence and complications. The criteria for enhanced recovery after surgery depend on whether patient is in the pre-operative, intra-operative or post-operative phase. Within the pediatric population, the risk of developing umbilical and inguinal is variable.

“…Iatrogenic ureteral injury (IUI) is a serious surgical complication, with a reported overall incidence up to 1.2% [ 1 , 2 ]. The highest prevalence of IUI is recorded in gynaecological procedures (50% of IUIs), followed by urologic (30%), and colorectal surgery (5–15%) [ 3 ].…”

Currently available and experimental dyes for intraoperative near-infrared fluorescence imaging of the ureters: a systematic review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Iatrogenic ureteral injury (IUI) following abdominal surgery has a relatively low incidence, but is associated with high risks of morbidity and mortality. Conventional assessment of IUI includes visual inspection and palpation. This is especially challenging during laparoscopic procedures and has translated into an increased risk of IUI. The use of near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) imaging is currently being considered as a novel method to identify the ureters intraoperatively. The aim of this review is to describe the currently available and experimental dyes for ureter visualization and to evaluate their feasibility of using them and their effectiveness. Methods This article adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standard for systematic reviews. A systematic literature search was performed in the PubMed database. All included articles were screened for eligibility by two authors. Three clinical trial databases were consulted to identify ongoing or completed unpublished trials. Risk of bias was assessed for all articles. Results The search yielded 20 articles on ureter visualization. Two clinically available dyes, indocyanine green (ICG) and methylene blue (MB), and eight experimental dyes were described and assessed for their feasibility to identify the ureter. Two ongoing clinical trials on CW800-BK and one trial on ZW800-1 for ureter visualization were identified. Conclusions Currently available dyes, ICG and MB, are safe, but suboptimal for ureter visualization based on the route of administration and optical properties, respectively. Currently, MB has potential to be routinely used for ureter visualization in most patients, but (cRGD-)ZW800-1 holds potential for this role in the future, owing to its exclusive renal clearance and the near absence of background. To assess the benefit of NIRF imaging for reducing the incidence of IUI, larger patient cohorts need to be examined.
