Laparoscopic Linear Stapled Running Enterotomy Closure in Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Using Absorbable Unidirectional Barbed Suture (Stratafix® 2/0) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic running enterotomy closure for linear stapled Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) may be enhanced by using unidirectional barbed sutures (Stratafix™ 2/0, Ethicon) as it eliminates the need for knot tying and assistance from a third hand.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this paper is to present our technique using unidirectional barbed sutures (Stratafix™ 2/0, Ethicon).
METHODS: After stapling the ...
In Vitro Comparison between the Pulvertaft Weave and the Modified Core Suture Pulvertaft Weave Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: The Pulvertaft weave was described more than 50 years ago and is still used in tendon transfers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength of a modified core suture Pulvertaft weave technique and compare it to the original Pulvertaft weave traditionally used in tendon transfer surgery. Methods: 12 extensor pollicis longus tendons and extensor indices proprius tendons were harvested from fresh frozen cadavers. Six ...
Modified bean-shaped ring segments for suture fixation of the bag-in-the-lens intraocular implant Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
We describe a surgical technique for secondary stabilization of a bag-in-the-lens intraocular lens (BIL IOL) using 2 modified bean-shaped ring segments in cases of zonular dehiscence associated with pseudophakodonesis. The first modified bean segment is anchored in the sulcus with a suture to the sclera in the area of maximum zonular dehiscence, and the second segment is implanted in the opposite sulcus area. Both segments are placed in the ...
