Recapping promising moments in surgical case assistance or in-servicing highlights key milestones that contribute to successful patient outcomes and improved surgical efficiency. *The Milligan-Morgan technique remains the gold standard for hemorrhoidectomy due to its proven effectiveness and long-standing use. Over time, various advancements have emerged to improve the procedure and patient outcomes. These include band ligation, staplers, and vessel ligation with or without Doppler guidance, each offering varying degrees of precision in treating hemorrhoidal disease. For prolapsed hemorrhoids, techniques such as ultrasonic dissection and fine electro-surgical devices for vessel sealing have further refined surgical approaches, reducing complications and improving recovery times. The introduction of laser technology, particularly with wavelengths initially 980nm then 1470nm, has been a game-changer in hemorrhoid surgery. These minimally invasive procedures, collectively known as "Laser Hemorrhoidoplasty," offer several key benefits: *Minimal or no pain *Reduced bleeding *Same-day discharge from the hospital *Quick return to routine activities This shift toward laser and minimally invasive techniques prioritizes patient care, providing effective treatment with enhanced safety and faster recovery, making it a highly patient-friendly approach to hemorrhoidal disease management. #proctology #haemorrhoid #minimallyinvasive #diodelaser #1470nm

During our recent webinar on Diabetic Foot, Dr. Brian Martin revealed how a well-aligned Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) can transform patient outcomes. At his clinic, adopting a clear treatment pathway with CERAMENT® has led to: ✅ Fewer operations ✅ Shorter hospital stays ✅ Lower amputation rates (Chow et al. ‘Definitive single-stage surgery for treating diabetic foot osteomyelitis: a protocolized pathway including antibiotic bone graft substitute use.’ ANZ J Surg. 2024 May 17.) Read the publication here 👉https://bit.ly/3ZygfcP These results underscore the power of teamwork and a unified approach to patient care. With an MDT, better outcomes are not just possible - they’re achievable. 🎥 Missed the live session? No worries!

Today, I had the opportunity to identify two patients and perform my first Lacrifill administrations! 🌟 I am excited to offer Lacrifill as a treatment option for my ocular surface disease (OSD) patients. Lacrifill represents a significant advancement in managing OSD. This gel temporarily blocks tear drainage by occluding the canalicular system. As a refractive cataract and glaucoma specialist, effectively managing OSD is crucial for achieving optimal visual outcomes post-cataract surgery and enhancing the tolerability and compliance of glaucoma medications. Our first patient, a glaucoma patient post-filtering surgery, wanted to discuss ocular discomfort from dry eyes rather than his glaucoma progression. Traditional punctal plugs were not viable due to chronic lid changes from long-term glaucoma medication usage. Lacrifill provided a much-needed alternative to alleviate his discomfort. Our second patient, a glaucoma patient scheduled for FLACS with a toric IOL, had significant OSD. We escalated dry eye therapy with Lacrifill and plan to repeat biometry measurements prior to surgery, ensuring the best possible surgical outcomes. Managing OSD is vital for quality of life, visual outcomes, and overall patient comfort. Looking forward to helping more patients with this innovative solution! #DryEye #Lacrifill #OSD #Glaucoma #EyeHealth #PatientCare #MedicalInnovation #NordicPharma #GeorgiaEyePartners #EyeSouthPartners

Surgical complications, such as severe bleeding, pose significant risks to patient health and well-being, especially during soft tissue surgeries involving organs like the liver, spleen, and kidneys. For patients on anticoagulant therapy, the risk of life-threatening hemorrhaging during surgery is even higher, necessitating millions of blood transfusions annually. Managing surgical hemorrhaging saves lives and reduces the overall cost of surgical procedures by minimizing operation time. However, while several techniques and hemostatic devices are available for open surgeries, there is a critical gap in solutions for bleeding, especially during minimally invasive surgeries. Sealantium Medical is dedicated to addressing this unmet need by developing a dedicated tissue sealant and hemostatic patch. This dual-acting innovative solution aims to avoid emergency open surgeries and reduce the dependency on blood donations, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency. #WorldBloodDonorDay #SurgicalCare #HealthcareInnovation #Sealantium

An exciting procedure was recently performed at UH Cleveland Medical Center in Cleveland, OH. Dr. Gabriel Smith and Dr. Dana Defta treated a patient who presented with moderate to severe Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) with foraminal stenosis at L4-5 and L5-S1, and a lateral and superior disc herniation on the left side at L4-L5. The surgical team planned and executed an L4-S1 minimally invasive surgery for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) with navigation to address both levels. The team leveraged the NuVasive Tube System for minimally invasive access, paired with MOD-EX PL expandable interbodies for customized lordotic and posterior height expansion. The low-profile design of the expandable technology enabled the team to add 2mm of posterior height to the disc space, directly decompressing the foramen and neural elements to help relieve the patient's symptoms.

What is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy? Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed minimally invasive surgical procedure across the world which involves removal of the diseased gallbladder using laparoscopic technique. In this procedure, a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted to guide the surgeon in removing the gallbladder. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was first invented in 1985. It is a common and effective method for treating gallbladder issues like gallstones or inflammation.Hassler, K.... https://lnkd.in/drk2STWV

❓ LungVision for Dye Marking? ⁉ While #LungVision by Body Vision Medical is best known for AI-driven image guidance during bronchoscopic lung nodule biopsy, one of the less talked about use cases for LungVision® is providing the near-CT quality scans necessary to enable precise dye marking of a lesion for accurate surgical resections. 🫁🎯 🔎 Take this case by Dr. Wilson Tsai of John Muir Health, who used LungVision® real-time imaging in combination with Ethicon, Inc.'s #Monarch endoluminal robot to biopsy and diagnose a -700 Hounsfield units (HU), 12mm LUL ground-glass opacity (GGO) as adenocarcinoma, place an indocyanine green (ICG)-soaked coil to dye mark the lesion, and then subsequently resect the lesion with an Intuitive #DaVinci robot in a single anesthesia event. 🤜 This use of a combination of advanced technologies showcases the ability to effectively diagnose and treat in a single anesthesia event as well as providing proof-of-concept for how to greatly expedite diagnosis-to-treatment timelines and improve patient outcomes in thoracic surgery. #ThoracicSurgery #Pulmonology #LungCancer #MedicalImaging #CT #NSCLC #AdvancedBronchoscopy
