Abstract

Background

Laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy has been performed in infants with biliary atresia at several institutions, but laparoscopic anastomosis requiring multi-directional suturing on a vertical plane of the liver remains a challenge. To assist multi-directional suturing, we developed a multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) needle driver whose tip length was 15 mm and shaft diameter was 3.5 mm. The tip of the multi-DOF needle driver has three DOFs for grasp, flection and rotation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the multi-DOF needle driver in two kinds of in vivo experiments.

Methods

Surgeons were asked to perform four-directional laparoscopic suturing on a vertical plane of the liver in six rabbits using the multi-DOF needle driver or a conventional needle driver. The needle grasping time, the needle handling time, the number of needle insertions, the number of liver lacerations, the suturing width and depth, and the area of necrotic tissues were analyzed and compared. Additionally, one surgeon was asked to perform laparoscopic hepato-jejunostomy in four rabbits to assess the feasibility of Kasai portoenterostomy using the multi-DOF needle driver.

Results

The suturing depth using the multi-DOF needle driver was significantly larger than that using the conventional needle driver in both the right and downward suturing directions. No statistically significant differences were found in other metrics. Liver lacerations were observed only when suturing was performed using the conventional needle driver. The experimental laparoscopic hepato-jejunostomy using the multi-DOF needle driver was successful.

Conclusions

Using the multi-DOF needle driver, uniform multi-directional suturing on a vertical plane of the liver could be performed. The short distal tip of the multi-DOF needle driver demonstrated its advantages in multi-directional suturing in a small body cavity. The multi-DOF needle driver may be able to be used to perform complex tasks in laparoscopic Kasai portoenterostomy.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

CME: 2 Punkte

Prof. Dr. med. Gregor Antoniadis Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

CME: 2 Punkte

Dr. med. Benjamin Meyknecht, PD Dr. med. Oliver Pieske Das Webinar S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“ beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
