Peanut aspiration: an avoidable life-threatening condition

Foreign body aspiration is a potentially fatal condition. Yet, an accurate diagnosis may not be easy. Management is also challenging and requires a high level of expertise with proper instruments. In this article, we report our experience in the management of peanut aspiration in two young children by means of a ventilating bronchoscope.published_or_final_versio

Pneumovesical ureteric reimplantation using T-fastener: A modification for bladder wall anchorage

INTRODUCTION: Bladder anchoring during pneumovesical ureteric reimplantation (PUR) can be difficult. Here we describe our new technique using a T-fastener (Kimberly Clark, Irving, TX, USA) to tackle this problem. METHODS: A T-fastener has been applied to all patients who underwent PUR in our center since 2011. RESULTS: Seventeen consecutive cases were performed between 2011 and 2015. No bladder dislodgement or air leak was observed in any of the operations. No morbidity or mortality has been associated with the use of T-fasteners. CONCLUSION: In our experience, this technique is simple to learn and transferrable. It decreases intraoperative complications and helps to climb the learning curve.
