  • Preoperative Skin Antisepsis with Chlorhexidine Gluconate Versus Povidone-Iodine: a Prospective Analysis of 6959 Consecutive Spinal Surgery Patients
    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Spine 28:209–214, 2018 Preoperative skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine gluconate versus povidone-iodine: a prospective analysis of 6959 consecutive spinal surgery patients George M. Ghobrial, MD, Michael Y. Wang, MD, Barth A. Green, MD, Howard B. Levene, MD, PhD, Glen Manzano, MD, Steven Vanni, DO, DC, Robert M. Starke, MD, MSc, George Jimsheleishvili, MD, Kenneth M. Crandall, MD, Marina Dididze, MD, PhD, and Allan D. Levi, MD, PhD Department of Neurological Surgery and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of 2 common preoperative surgical skin antiseptic agents, ChloraPrep and Betadine, in the reduction of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) in spinal surgery proce- dures. METHODS Two preoperative surgical skin antiseptic agents—ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% iso- propyl alcohol) and Betadine (7.5% povidone-iodine solution)—were prospectively compared across 2 consecutive time periods for all consecutive adult neurosurgical spine patients. The primary end point was the incidence of SSI. RESULTS A total of 6959 consecutive spinal surgery patients were identified from July 1, 2011, through August 31, 2015, with 4495 (64.6%) and 2464 (35.4%) patients treated at facilities 1 and 2, respectively. Sixty-nine (0.992%) SSIs were observed. There was no significant difference in the incidence of infection between patients prepared with Beta- dine (33 [1.036%] of 3185) and those prepared with ChloraPrep (36 [0.954%] of 3774; p = 0.728). Neither was there a significant difference in the incidence of infection in the patients treated at facility 1 (52 [1.157%] of 4495) versus facility 2 (17 [0.690%] of 2464; p = 0.06).

The procedure is intended to drain a cyst(s), abscess(es), or infected tissue. Risks include: bleeding, infection, burn injury, pain, scarring, failure to diagnose or cure the underlying condition, persistence or recurrence of the condition. To reduce risk of infection, after the procedure keep area as clean and dry as possible. Wash three times each day with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry by gently dabbing with a soft wel to or carefully use a blow dryer on the cool setting. Follow each wash/dry with antibacterial ointment (such as Neosporin or Bacitracin). If genital incision and drainage ou is performed, y may also place antibiotic ointment onto cotton balls (not cosmetic puffs) to cover the wounds during urination or bowel movements. Benefits may include achieving a diagnosis (by distinguishing between a cyst and an abscss) and alleviating symptoms such as pain.

  • Procedure Coding in ICD-9-CM and ICD- 10-PCS
    Procedure Coding in ICD-9-CM and ICD- 10-PCS ICD-9-CM Volume 3 Procedures are classified in volume 3 of ICD-9-CM, and this section includes both an Alphabetic Index and a Tabular List. This volume follows the same format, organization and conventions as the classification of diseases in volumes 1 and 2. ICD-10-PCS ICD-10-PCS will replace volume 3 of ICD-9-CM. Unlike ICD-10-CM for diagnoses, which is similar in structure and format as the ICD-9-CM volumes 1 and 2, ICD-10-PCS is a completely different system. ICD-10-PCS has a multiaxial seven-character alphanumeric code structure providing unique codes for procedures. The table below gives a brief side-by-side comparison of ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS. ICD-9-CM Volume3 ICD-10-PCS Follows ICD structure (designed for diagnosis Designed and developed to meet healthcare coding) needs for a procedure code system Codes available as a fixed or finite set in list form Codes constructed from flexible code components (values) using tables Codes are numeric Codes are alphanumeric Codes are 3-4 digits long All codes are seven characters long ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-PCS are used to code only hospital inpatient procedures. Hospital outpatient departments, other ambulatory facilities, and physician practices are required to use CPT and HCPCS to report procedures. ICD-9-CM Conventions in Volume 3 Code Also In volume 3, the phrase “code also” is a reminder to code additional procedures only when they have actually been performed.

  • Original Article Efficacy of Radical Incision and Drainage for Perianal Abscesses and Related Serum Activin a Levels
    Int J Clin Exp Med 2020;13(7):5100-5107 www.ijcem.com /ISSN:1940-5901/IJCEM0111399 Original Article Efficacy of radical incision and drainage for perianal abscesses and related serum activin A levels Hengqing Gao1, Runping Liu1, Zhengchun Yang3, Xiaoqiang Wang1, Wei Wang1, Furao Gong1, Jing Hu2 Departments of 1Anorectal, 2Science and Education, Zigong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zigong, Sichuan Province, China; 3Sichuan Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China Received March 25, 2020; Accepted April 24, 2020; Epub July 15, 2020; Published July 30, 2020 Abstract: Objective: To explore the efficacy of radical incision and drainage for patients with perianal abscess and its effect on serum activin A (ACTA) levels. Methods: A total of 128 patients with perianal abscesses were randomly divided into group A (radical incision and drainage, n = 64) and group B (simple incision and drainage, n = 64). Results: Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, gas, postoperative persistent infection and wound healing time in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (all P<0.001). Compared with group B, group A had significantly higher effective treatment rates, but lower serum ACTA levels 3 days after operation and lower recurrence rate of perianal abscess and anal fistula (P<0.001). Conclusion: The application of radical incision and drainage in patients with perianal abscesses can effectively reduce postoperative pain, and also has the advantages of faster postopera- tive recovery, lower incidence of adverse events and reduced inflammatory response.

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: The authors have retrospectively studied 42 cases of tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis using large Received: 6 March 2013; cannulated AO screws, staples and iliac crest graft mixed in treatment of fixed equinovarus Received in revised form: deformity of the foot in adult patients. There were 25 men and 17 women aged 22 to 70 17 April 2013; (mean, 45) years. All patients were reviewed with an average of 5 years. The operations Accepted: 3 May 2013; were performed between 2005 and 2012.Preoperatively, all patients had 50° of the mean calcaneal varus deformity and 75° (60-90°) of equinus deformity on Meary’s radiological. Keywords There were 24 idiopathic, 8 post traumatic,6 neurologic associated with IMC,4 polio. Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis, Clinical and functional outcome was assessed with the kitaoka score, the x-rays included an Screw, AP and lateral view of the ankle and Meary view .Resultats were excellent in 73% , good in Equinovarus foot, 18 % , fair in 9%. X-rays showed 3 nonunions after 2 years and were reported.

  • Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF)
    FACT SHEET FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) What is it and why do I need it? Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is surgery to repair a broken bone. Open reduction means the doctor makes an incision (cut) to reach the bones and move them back into their normal position. Internal fixation means metal screws, plates, sutures, or rods are placed on the bone to keep it in place while it heals. The internal fixation will not be removed. Why do I need it? This surgery is done on an arm or a leg to repair fractures Before After that would not heal properly with a cast or splint alone. Your surgeon may recommend ORIF if: In the picture on the left, the arm bone is severely broken. In the picture on the right, the arm bone is held • The bone is broken into many pieces together with metal devices called internal fixation. • The bone is sticking out of the skin They will not be removed after the bone heals. • The bone is not lined up correctly • A closed reduction (without opening the skin) Talking with your doctor was done before and it didn’t heal properly The table below lists the most common potential benefits, • A joint is dislocated risks, and alternatives for ORIF surgery to repair a broken This surgery should allow your bone to heal properly. bone.

  • Ankle and Pantalar Arthrodesis
    ANKLE AND PANTALAR ARTHRODESIS George E. Quill, Jr., M.D. In: Foot and Ankle Disorders Edited by Mark S. Myerson, M.D. Since reports in the late 19th Century, arthrodesis has been a successful accepted treatment method for painful disorders of the ankle, subtalar, and transverse tarsal joints. While the title of this chapter involves arthrodesis - the intentional fusion of a joint - as a form of reconstruction, this chapter will address not only surgical technique, but nonoperative methods of care as well. We will address the pathophysiology leading to ankle and hindfoot disability, succinctly review the existing literature on the topic of hindfoot and ankle arthrodesis, highlight the pathomechanics involved, and spend considerable time on establishing the diagnosis, indications, and preoperative planning when surgery is indicated. We also will discuss the rehabilitation of the postoperative patient, as well as the management of complications that may arise after ankle and pantalar arthrodesis. There are more than thirty different viable techniques that have been described in order to achieve successful ankle and hindfoot arthrodesis. It is not the purpose of this chapter to serve as compendium of all the techniques ever described. The author will, rather, attempt to distill into a useful amount of clinically applicable material this vast body of information that the literature and clinical experience provide. Ankle arthrodesis is defined as surgical fusion of the tibia to the talus. Surgical fusion of the ankle (tibiotalar) and subtalar (talocalcaneal) joints at the same operative sitting is termed tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Fusion of the talus to all the bones articulating with it (distal tibia, calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid) is termed pantalar arthrodesis.
