  • Technologic Innovations in Rhinology, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 42-5
    • Raj Sindwani
    • English
    Endoscopic sinus surgery has quickly become one of the most commonly performed operations in otolaryngology, with over 400,000 cases performed annually. The narrow confines of the sinonasal tract and the complex relationships with adjacent vital structures, demands a high degree of technical precision and provides little room for surgical error. The potential for disorientation during surgery is heightened when surgical landmarks are obscured because of bleeding, extensive disease or previous surgery, and when operating with angled-view endoscopes. Due to the proximity of the orbit and skull base, complications from sinus surgery can be catastrophic. Negative outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery continue to be a leading cause of malpractice suits against otolaryngologists. It is therefore not surprising, that the introduction and continued proliferation of technological innovations has been met with such robust enthusiasm by the Rhinology community. The application of surgical navigation technology to sinonasal and skull base procedures, as an example, has ushered in a new era of surgical approaches to inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory conditions of this region. The endosopic approaches to the nearby orbit and skull base have expanded in part, due to technological advances; but these novel techniques have themselves also fostered the development of unique instrumentation. This issue of The Clinics appraises new technological developments in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery and also critically examines recent updates to existing instrumentation. Each of the structured articles within is written by leading experts with extensive experience with the technology. The authors provide a description of the technology and how it works, and analyze the current role of the technology; including an evidence-based review of its impact on clinical outcomes, where appropriate.

  • Chirurgie plastique et reconstructrice des parois et des confins

    Rapport Sofcpre 2009
    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Pierre Chavoin + 1 more
    • French
    Pour le commun des mortels, la chirurgie plastique est assimilée à une chirurgie de surface, pour les plus critiques à une chirurgie superficielle. Pourtant, ses possibilités et ses compétences vont bien au-delà des téguments et des formes : ce rapport fait la démonstration que notre spécialité est au premier plan de la chirurgie générale. Nous détenons la maîtrise des grands lambeaux depuis l'inusable lambeau musculocutané de grand dorsal jusqu'aux innombrables lambeaux cutanés perforants, économes de muscle et pourtant richement vascularisés. La connaissance anatomique de la vascularisation des lambeaux permet de bien connaître leur rayon d'action et la maîtrise des techniques de microchirurgie vasculaire autorise à aller encore plus loin, sans véritables limites. Les possibilités quasi illimitées de reconstruction des vastes pertes de substance des parois et des cavités ouvrent un champ immense en augmentant les marges d'exérèse et donc la sécurité cancérologique. En matière de réparation des malformations congénitales du thorax, on découvre l'apport considérable de la fabrication d'endoprothèses sur mesure assistée par ordinateur et les possibilités qu'elle offre dans la correction de toutes les insuffisances de volume, en particulier musculaires. Rien ne peut arrêter les progrès de la chirurgie reconstructrice des parois. Sa maîtrise donne une chance unique aux chirurgiens plasticiens de travailler avec toutes les spécialités d'organes, de la neurochirurgie à la gynécologie, en passant par la chirurgie thoracique et digestive. La chirurgie plastique des parois et des confins ouvre des perspectives passionnantes et place notre spécialité à la croisée des chemins de toute la chirurgie.

    L'évolution de la chirurgie de la main en urgence depuis une vingtaine d'années est considérable. Les pathologies lourdes liées à des accidents du travail et qui impliquaient souvent des amputations totales se font plus rares. Les évolutions techniques et instrumentales, la réparation microchirurgicale des éléments vasculo-nerveux, ainsi que l'apparition de systèmes d'ancrage des ligaments et tendons ont orienté la pratique vers des interventions de haute technicité en milieu spécialisé. Ce traité pour objectif d'établir une synthèse actuelle des connaissances de la chirurgie de la main en urgence, des principes aux techniques opératoires. Les premiers chapitres sont consacrés à des données de base : anesthésie, microcirculation et microchirurgie, instrumentation, bilan lésionnel et stratégie. Puis sont envisagés les lésions et leurs traitements : entorses, fractures, revascularisation, perte de substance et lambeaux, amputations, ongle traumatique, plaies des nerfs. Sont également traités les replantations (doigts ou mains), le doigt-banque, ainsi que les pansements. Cette 3e édition a été entièrement actualisée. Riche de près de 1000 clichés et dessins chirurgicaux remarquables, elle est désormais intégralement en couleurs. Par sa précision et sa rigueur, cet ouvrage constitue une référence exceptionnelle, indispensable aux chirurgiens orthopédistes et chirurgiens de la main en formation ou désireux d'actualiser leur connaissance, ainsi qu'aux médecins de rééducation, kinésithérapeutes, ergothérapeutes et orthésistes.

    • French
    Cet ouvrage présente de manière approfondie l'anatomie crânienne dont une bonne compréhension demeure le prérequis à toute procédure ostéopathique crânienne. Les bases fondamentales, trop souvent absentes des ouvrages d'anatomie générale, sont ici présentées de manière explicite, tout en soulignant les aspects particulièrement utiles pour l'ostéopathe. Anatomie fonctionnelle appliquée à l'ostéopathie crânienne est un ouvrage de référence richement illustré qui permettra au praticien de trouver le « détail » anatomique qui l'intéresse. Chaque os est d'abord étudié sous l'angle de l'anatomie descriptive, puis discuté dans le contexte de l'approche palpatoire et des corrélations entre structures et fonctions. Sont également abordés en détail les articulations, les méninges, la myologie et les systèmes veineux, artériel, lymphatique et nerveux. Cet ouvrage, agrémenté de quelque 300 dessins et photographies, sera pour l'ostéopathe un outil aussi agréable à consulter qu'indispensable à sa pratique.
