![]() After a mean follow-up of 12 (1e23) months, no graft thrombosis or stenosis occurred postoperatively and at long-term follow-up, with the exception of one patient who developed an early portal thrombosis, however having preoperatively a thrombus in the superior mesenteric vein. ![]() Median length of hospital stay was 16 days. Intra-operative transfusion was required in 63% of cases (7 patients). Median clamping time was 30 minutes median operative time was 6.6 hours, and median estimated blood loss was 337 mL. Results: Eleven patients underwent venous resection and reconstruction by using fresh vein allografts for patch closure in 4 cases, conduit interposition in 6 cases and a Y-shaped graft interposition in one case. Postoperative morbidity and mortality were also analyzed. Graft patency was assessed by computed to-mography postoperatively and during follow-up. Neither oral anticoagulants nor antiplatelet drugs were administered postoperatively, as well as immunosuppres-sive drugs. Surgical technique included patch closure or segmental interposi-tion. omologous grafts for venous reconstruction after vascular resection during PD. Methods: Cold-stored veins harvested from donor ca-davers were used as. The aim of this study was to report long-term results of this innovative technique. ![]() Read moreīackground: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with venous resection and reconstruction is becoming a more common practice and the use of cadaveric vein allografts was first described by our group as a feasible option for venous reconstruction. These results may mean that myopic shift with viewing under binocular conditions in pediatric patients does not affect visual acuity. Conclusions: Under binocular conditions, myopic shift remained within the depth of focus in pediatric patients with IXT, while it was beyond the depth of focus in adult patients with IXT. In adults without IXT, a significant myopic shift and pupillary constriction were measured when viewing through the base-out prism. Results: In patients with IXT, including pediatric patients, a significant myopic shift was observed under binocular conditions. In study 2, we used a base-out prism lens on non-dominant eyes of adults without IXT and measured refraction and pupillary diameter with 2 powers of prism lens then we compared the differences in the 2 parameters with the 2 powers of prism lens. with IXT using the PRII under binocular and monocular conditions. Methods: In study 1, we measured and compared refraction and pupillary diameter of adult and pediatric patients. Purpose: Using the Power Ref II (PRII), which can measure refraction and pupillary diameter under binocular viewing conditions, we measured those two values in adults with normal eyes and in adults and children with intermittent exotropia (IXT) under binocular and monocular conditions. Conclusion: Rapid decompression of the urinary bladder in cases of chronic urinary retention is a safe and convenient method of decompressing the urinary bladder in patients of chronic urinary retention, without any increase in frequency of haematuria. Results: The frequency of haematuria was found to be equal in both groups. These were controlled by including only those cases where catheter was passed atraumatically by registrar surgery. Confounding variables were traumatic catheterization and patients who were taking anticoagulants or having bleeding disorders. Frequency of haematuria was calculated after both the procedures and recorded. A second sample was also taken in another test tube after one hour of complete decompression of either group and compared with original sample for occurrence of haematuria. On insertion of Foley catheter sample of urine was taken in a test tube and saved. Group A was subjected to intermittent clamping of Foley catheter and group B was subjected to no clamping of Foley catheter. Subjects and Methods: Sixty patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to two equal groups. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in Combined Military Hospital Quetta from May 2007 to Nov 2007. Objective: The objective of this study was to compare frequency of haematuria after slow decompression and rapid decompression of urinary bladder in the management of chronic urinary retention.
