Rehabilitation und Sport nach endoprothetischer Versorgung am Beispiel der Hüftendoprothese

In dieser Arbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob bzw. wann sportliche Bewegung nach einer Implantation eines künstlichen Hüfgelenkes möglich ist. Einzelne Sportarten werden auf Nutzen und Risiko untersucht. Weiters werden die Vor- und Nachteile einzelner Prothesenarten in bezug auf Sport erörtert

Image fusion of LM-MRI and MRA for endovascular interventions

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease can be treated with endovascular interventions. These interventions are currently intraoperatively guided by fluoroscopy. A possible alternative is LF-MRI, but the current image quality of low-field (LF) MRI may not be sufficient. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of image fusion of LF-MRI with preoperative MRA to improve the image quality. To test this, LF-MRI and 3T MRI images were made of a healthy test subject. These images were registrated using manual landmark detection. The result was a visually successful registration image of LF-MRI and anatomical MRI, which shows the possibility of manual image registration

Comparison of first versus second line sacrocolpopexies in terms of morbidity and mid-term efficacy

To compare pelvic organ prolapse (POP) recurrence and morbidity between first and second line sacrocolpopexies. We conducted a retrospective chart review of all laparoscopic or robotic sacrocolpopexies for POP-Q stage ≥ 2, with or without a history of previous prolapse repair, performed with a similar technique between January 2012 and June 2019 in 3 European Gynecologic Surgery Departments. Patients were separated into two groups: first line sacrocolpopexy (FLS) and second line sacrocolpopexy (SLS). Each patient from the SLS group was age-matched with a patient from the FLS group. The primary outcome measure was reoperation procedures for recurrent POP defined as a symptomatic POP-Q stage ≥ 2 POP in at least one vaginal compartment. Secondary outcomes included operative time, intraoperative organ trauma, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative POP recurrence (operated on or not), global reoperation and mesh-related complications. During this period, 332 patients were included. After age-matching, 170 patients were analyzed: 85 patients in the FLS and SLS groups, respectively. After a mean follow-up of 3 years, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of recurrent POP (9.4% versus 10.6%, p = 0.7), recurrent POP reoperation (3.5% versus 5.9% p = 0.7), mesh-related reoperation (0% versus 2.4%, p = 0.5), global reoperation (3.5 versus 8.2%, p = 0.3), operative time (198 ± 67 min versus 193 ± 60 min, p = 0.5), intraoperative complications such as organ injury (4.7% versus 7.1%, p = 0.7) and blood loss > 500 mL (2.4% versus 0%, p = 0.5). Patients who underwent a first or a second line sacrocolpopexy seemed to have similar rates of prolapse recurrence and complications
