418466 tn?1207114132 Do NOT attempt to remove this drain by yourself. I can understand another vet wanting the surgical report, but it shouldn't stop them from treating your dog. That doesn't sound right to me at all. If you're having problems finding a competent vet, you could try starting with your local SPCA or Humane Society. Explain the situation to them and I'm sure they'll come up with a vet who will happily get this thing safely out of your dog's ear.
177275 tn?1511755244 By utilizing modern surgical equipment, now readily available in as small as 27 gauge and cut rates as high as 7,500 cuts/minute, very little energy is directed into the vitreous, and very little traction on the vitreous is exerted. Vitrectomy has the advantage that if a retinal tear develops intraoperatively, it should be easily identified and treated at the end of the case.
138239 tn?1239924924 I can tell you that after alot of research and many nights on the computer I found out that during the operation they use surgical clips. I believe the problem stems from these clips. They say they are not harmful but after my first surgery the pain was terrible so I went for a cat scan and there was a surgical clip in my pelvis. I believe the doctor went in - took it out and acted as though nothing was wrong with me and he found nothing wrong with me. Now to my understanding they use 4 clips.

Avatar m tn It takes equipment and surgical expertise to answer your question.
Avatar m tn Every surgical operation has its risks depending on your age or if you have other comorbid conditions (hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc). Complications include difficulty of breathing, heart problems, kidney problems during or after the operation, though these can be minimized with proper pre-operation evaluation (usually by an internist, or cardiologist).
Avatar f tn org/posts/show/523166 As far as I can remember, after the operation I was moved to a recovery room for about an hour and then back to my hospital bedroom. Of course if your operation has encountered any problems then your surgeon may decide to place you for a spell in ICU. For the first few days I was incontinent because the epidural pain relief meant that I had no feelings in my bowels and the various fluids just "leaked out".

Avatar m tn If there are any symptoms attributed to this aneurysm - it may be better to undergo an operation. This is because the associated mortality for a planned operation is 1-2% only, if the operation is done as an emergency due to the rupture - the risk for death is 50%. If on the other hand - you don't feel anything - a 2.
1060769 tn?1254977492 Postponing the operation as long as reasonably possible is a good thing. You avoid unnecessary surgical risks by doing that. A few people actually die during heart surgery. It's not like having your tonsils out. It's a lot more major than that. It's not something to jump into, just to "get it over with." Also, if you can postpone your operation, you may be able to take advantage of advanced surgical technology later on.
Avatar n tn If the percentage is less than 29%, a surgical operation is at a high risk and a surgeon may not recommend an operation as the risk may exceed the benefit. Or the estimated dimensions of the heart may be insignificant, and your mom is relatively good health and the risk is minimal.

Avatar f tn pip, like Selma, I haven't heard of the procedure but looking it up it looks like the cutting edge of surgical procedures. I've had a NF procedure (successful) but am always interested in what I may have ahead. Is the partial wrap recommended with the stomach pacer? I've never understood why a partial is recommended, but maybe it is done to accommodate the pacer equipment.
Avatar f tn Therefore, surgical intervention is essential to remove the large cyst and if permanent damage needs to be avoided. Craniotomy, needle aspiration and cerebral shunts are common surgical treatment that may help. But, surgical modalities may have some complications depending upon size of cyst. Before opting for surgical procedures, you should evaluate both the pros and cons with the help of a neurosurgeon. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Bow legs or genu varum can be corrected in adults by surgical remodeling. The exact type of surgical technique would depend on the severity and the exact location of the defect. Temporarily orthotic devices may be used to provide symptomatic relief, though a permanent cure may require a surgery in adults. It would be best to consult an orthopedician for a detailed review and appropriate management.
Avatar n tn Alot of times what happens is it takes a couple of days for it to re distribute throughout the body in adjusting to have the equipment put into her body and in making room for it because the body doesn;t recognize it as some that should be there. What you need to do is help her be a little more comfortable with the breathing situation so she may want to sleep in an upright positon for a couple of days with a few pillows behind her so that she is in a normal physical position for drainage.
Avatar f tn Any suggestions for home made devices to keep the head in proper position instead of renting equipment? What did you find the most helpful. How did you keep from getting sore. My mother just had this procedure done in an emergency so we didn't get a lot of time to research. What activities do you do when bored?
Avatar f tn It was then removed surgically He has not yet been told whether he is to have further chemo sessions. The consultants say they will know in about 2 weeks from operation date. Is this a 'bad sign'; would they not know the extent of the cancer from initial tests that were done, or at least from the time of the operation itself? We are very concerned for him and would be grate for your opinion.
Avatar n tn m not aware of any other surgical method for treating an ERM. (There were past attempts to peel an ERM without doing a vitrectomy, but according to my retinal surgeon the results were poor--many serious problems with floaters post-surgery.) The best source for a referral is anther ophthalmologist. In the majority of cases, no treatment is given for an ERM. Generally, visual acuity is improved by at least 2 lines on the eye chart post-surgery.
Avatar m tn If the baby has a large VSD AND an abnormality of the aortic arch (called a coarctation), then the doctor you spoke with is correct. Surgery will likely be necessary to deal with both. The aortic arch narrowing can be significant early after birth and require intervention. If the VSD remains large during the first 3-6 months of life, then surgery is usually recommended as well.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your reply.I haven't seen the cardiac surgeon yet and will obviously take on the best advice.I must admit that my anxiety levels are rather high at the moment.I'll keep following the info on this site.Thanks again.Baz.
Avatar f tn I agree about taking to the anestheologist RIGHT before surgery about the asthma They will come to your pre-surgical room and check your teeth and ask health questions. Just remind them. Also (especially if your asthma is not controlled) speak with your physician/surgeon. Remind him/her about your asthma. They'll probably order some nebs and/or chest PT if you stay in patient just as preventative.
Avatar f tn Most patients do not require surgical intervention for their symptoms. A vitrectomy is a serious operation with risks as well as benefits. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.
