Abstract
Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EE) is a clinico-pathological entity recognized with increased frequency in children and adults. It is an atopic disease involving ingested and inhaled allergens. A pathological eosinophilic infiltrate is diagnosed by finding ≥ 15 eosinophils per high-powered field on oes...

Abstract
Experimental models of tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) are used to study novel annuloplasty techniques (including prosthetic rings), and they can also serve as physiologic models to investigate TR pathophysiology. The study aim was to develop an appropriate simple and reproducible experimental mod...

Abstract
We did not observe a decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure. The incidence of complications was 23% (20/87). These complications were minor in 18/20 and were not significantly different between the two groups. In conclusion, we consider that the PercuTwist technique is safe despite the longer durat...

Abstract
Staff utilization and cost seem like the major advantages of PT. However, our surgical technique has similar complication rates with PT and moreover, using ST still remains favorable for select patients with thyroid hyperplasia, short neck, tracheaomalacia, obesity, neck operation history and for ch...

Abstract
To provide a review of the latest evidence on the management of anterior urethral strictures.
A continuing role exists for urethrotomy or dilatation in the management of urethral strictures as first-line therapy in selected patients. In those patients with bulbar strictures who fail or are not suita...

Abstract
Our systematic review does not reveal an inordinate frequency of esophageal perforation from dilation in patients with EoE, and it is not clear that dilation is any more hazardous for patients with EoE than for patients with other causes of esophageal stricture. Although esophageal dilation must be...

Abstract
During quiet breathing, the external nasal valves were significantly smaller in patients with alar collapse (0.3 +/- 0.08 cm2) than in controls (0.7 +/- 0.2 cm2; p < 0.001). In heal-thy controls, forced inspiration did not significantly alter the size of the external nasal valve (-1.8% +/- 27.5%; p...

Abstract
The benign cervical stricture rate after esophagectomy was relatively high. Cardiovascular disease, gastric tube compared with colonic interposition and postoperative anastomotic leakage were independent predictors for development of benign anastomotic stricture. Anastomotic leakage, chemoradiothera...

Abstract
Benign, non-peptic esophageal stricture is a rare condition in routine clinical practice and can be caused by various diseases. Time to exact diagnosis is often very long.

Abstract
The baby's own functional esophagus is superior to any esophageal replacement. Familiarity with different techniques to preserve it is therefore important. Suture approximation without anastomosis is a safe technique that can be applied to long gap esophageal atresia. The downside of this technique...

Abstract
The operation was successfully performed in all the 18 cases, with no urethral false passage, urethral perforation or urethra tearing. Sixteen of the patients were cured, and the other 2 received urethroplasty for stenosis recurrence. The maximum flow rate was increased to 13.6-30.2 (18.1 +/- 3.5) m...

Esophageal dilation can be performed in eosinophilic esophagitis with low rates of tears, chest pain, and hospitalization. No perforations were found in our database. The effectiveness of dilation was best when a larger esophageal caliber was achieved, but patients undergoing more procedures was ass...

Abstract
We routinely perform a single subcostal lower pole access. In our opinion, when the skin incision is located into the four-sided space between 12thrib, spine muscles, iliac crest and posterior axillary line, the risk of most non-haemorrhagic complications may be reduced. When the needle is proceedin...

Abstract
cLMATM allowed us to carry out PDT in all patients. Short tracheal intubations resulted in mild lesions of the larynx and mild gas leaks during cLMATM ventilation. Longer intubations caused moderate-to-severe (P<0.05) lesions of the larynx and larger gas leaks. A single complication occurred in one...

Abstract
Pneumatic dilation (PD) is considered to be the first line nonsurgical therapy for achalasia. The principle of the procedure is to weaken the lower esophageal sphincter by tearing its muscle fibers by generating radial force. The endoscope-guided procedure is done without fluoroscopic control. Clini...

Reflux strictures are well treated with dilation and PPIs. Although food bolus impaction can occur without an underlying pathology, patients with relux strictures are likely to have a recurrence and should be treated aggressively. Addition of PPIs appears to decrease the number of dilations that a p...

The major source of variability when assessing flow-mediated dilatation was found to be intraobserver variability. The simplest way to reduce total variability is for the observer to average results from repeated image analyses. We suggest that three repetitions are sufficient. This will reduce the...
