  Surgery International Open Access Journal - (SIOAJ)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Background: The gold standard for auricle reconstruction is currently performed with autologous costal cartilage. This process is done at about nine years of age, but it leads to thoracic deformity, reported in up to 70% of the patients using a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner. Objective: The present study aims to determine if this deformity has functional implications for the patients. Methods: 54 patients were clinically evaluated and subjected to spirometry at least one year after the surgery. Results: Four cases had moderate pulmonary restriction, while seven had mild lung restriction. A total of 20.3% of the patients showed pulmonary restriction. The new results are particularly crucial for patients with preoperative (pre-op) ventilatory disease. Conclusion: In patients with thoracic deformity diagnosed by clinic exploration, spirometric abnormalities occur in up to 20.3%; when stratifying ...

  Surgery International Open Access Journal - (SIOAJ) | Stephy Publishers Abstract Introduction: The laparoscopic surgery is done by using a single port. You place a device through a single incision between 18mm to 50mm and 3-4 trocars can be used. Our work consists of making 3 little incisions to put the three trocars which measure 5 mm and use conventional instruments that measure 36 cm of length of laparoscopic surgery within the internal limits of the umbilicus. Objective: Describe the surgery technique and evaluate the initial results of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy option through three intraumbilical incisions. Methods: It is a retrospective, descriptive, multicentre and observational study. Since June 2014 to August 2019, 20 patients, 17 females and 3 males, were operated using this method from the age ranges of 16 to 65 years old. The average surgical time was 65 minutes. Results: In all cases the procedures were concluded by the intraumbilical approach. One of the c...
