No full textPersisting complaints after carpal tunnel release : nerve compression by the palmaris profundus muscle
No full textWe present the case of a 66-year-old man who had persisting complaints after initial classical open carpal tunnel release. During revision a reversed palmaris profundus muscle was identified as being the cause of residual compression of the median nerve. Neurolysis with release of the palmaris profundus muscle was performed without resection of this anatomical variant and resulted in full resolution of the complaints
Duration of urethral catheterization after urethroplasty : how long is enough?
No full textBackground: To report the impact of duration of urethral catheterization (DUC) on the rate of extravasation on voiding cysto-urethrography (VCUG) and the subsequent need of catheter replacement in urethroplasty.
Methods: Two hundred nineteen consecutive patients undergoing urethroplasty between October 2010 and November 2014 were evaluated for the impact of DUC. Patients were divided into 2 groups, based on the scheduled DUC ≤10 days (Group 1, n=86) or >10 days (Group 2, n=133).
Results: Fourteen patients (6.4%) had extravasation on VCUG with an additional period of catheter usage. In 10 of the 14 patients (71.4%) clinical signs of impaired wound healing were present. In group 1 (median DUC 8 days) 3 patients (3.5%) needed an additional period of urethral catheterization, compared to 11 patients (8.3%) in group 2 (median DUC 14 days). Strictures in group 2 were longer (4 vs 2 cm, p<0.001) and more complex. Redo urethroplasty was needed in 9 of the 14 patients with extravasation.
Conclusion: In uncomplicated cases of urethroplasty, the urethral catheter can be safely removed after 8 to 10 days postoperatively. Extravasation on VCUG occurs in around 6% of urethroplasties and is a prognostic factor for stricture recurrence and reoperation
