Status post coronary artery bypass grafting.,5. Right subclavian vein stenosis.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE,Creation of autologous right brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula - first stage.,INDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE,This patient has a known left subclavian vein occlusion. The right subclavian vein has an estimated 50% stenosis. The patient has a catheter traversed in the right innominate vein. The right basilic vein was judged to be suitable for usage on vein mapping.,OPERATIVE FINDINGS,The basilic vein was of an adequate size, but somewhat sclerotic. A first stage autologous right brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula was created. A grade 2 was felt at completion.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE IN DETAIL,After informed consent was obtained, the patient was taken to the operating room. The patient was placed in the supine position. The patient received regional nerve block. The patient also received intravenous sedation. The right arm was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. We used ultrasound to locate the basilic vein at the cubital fossa.,A small transverse incision was made slightly above the basilic vein. The basilic vein was identified and immobilized. The basilic vein was of a good size, but somewhat sclerotic. The underlying fascia was incised and the brachial artery was identified and immobilized. The brachial artery was normal. We then divided the basilic vein distally. The distal end was ligated using silk suture. The brachial artery was clamped proximally and distally. A small longitudinal arteriotomy was made in the brachial artery. We did not give heparin. The end of the basilic vein was then sewn end-to-side to the brachial artery using a running 7-0 Prolene suture. ,Just prior to completion of the anastomosis, it was flushed and anastomosis was completed. Flow was then established. A grade 2 was felt in the outflow basilic fistula. Hemostasis was secured. The wound was then closed in layers using interrupted PDS sutures for the fascia and a running 4-0 Monocryl subcuticular suture for the skin. A sterile dry dressing was applied.,The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no operative complications. The sponge, instrument, and needle counts were correct at the end of the case. I was present and participated in all aspects of the procedure. The patient was transferred to the recovery room in satisfactory condition.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES,1. End-stage renal disease.,2. Diabetes.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES,1. End-stage renal disease.,2. Diabetes.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE,Creation of right brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula.,INDICATIONS FOR THE PROCEDURE,This patient has end-stage renal disease. Although, the patient is right-handed, preoperative vein mapping demonstrated much better vein in the right arm. Hence, a right brachiocephalic fistula is being planned.,OPERATIVE FINDINGS,The right cephalic vein at the elbow is chosen to be suitable. It is slightly sporadic, but of an adequate size. An end-to-side right brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula was created. At completion, there was a great thrill.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE IN DETAIL,After informed consent was obtained, the patient was taken to the operating room. The patient was placed in the supine position. The patient received a regional nerve block. The patient also received intravenous sedation. The right arm was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.,We made a small transverse incision in the right cubital fossa. The cephalic vein was identified and mobilized. The fascia was incised, and the brachial artery was also identified and mobilized. The brachial artery was free off significant disease. A good pulse was noted. The cephalic vein was mobilized proximally and distally. The brachial artery was mobilized proximally and distally. We did not give heparin. The brachial artery was then clamped proximally and distally. The cephalic vein was also clamped proximally and distally. Longitudinal arteriotomy was made in brachial artery, and a longitudinal venotomy was made in the cephalic vein. We then sewn the vein to the artery in a side-to-side fashion using a running 7-0 Prolene suture.,Just prior to completion of the anastomosis, it was flushed, and the anastomosis was then completed. A great thrill was noted. We then ligated the cephalic vein beyond the arteriovenous anastomosis and divided it. This surrounded the anastomosis as an end-to-side functionally. A great thrill remained in the fistula. Hemostasis was secured. We then closed the wound using interrupted PDS sutures for the fascia and a running 4-0 Monocryl subcuticular suture for the skin. Sterile dry dressing was applied.,The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no operative complications. The sponge, instrument, and needle counts were correct at the end of the case. I was present and participated in all aspects of the procedure. The patient was then transferred to the recovery room in satisfactory condition. A great thrill was felt in the fistula completion. There was also a palpable radial pulse distally.
Venogram of the left arm and creation of left brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS,End-stage renal disease.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS,End-stage renal disease.,PROCEDURE,Venogram of the left arm and creation of left brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula.,ANESTHESIA,General.,DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE,The patient was taken to the operating room where after induction of general anesthetic, the patient's arm was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. The IV catheter was inserted into the vein on the lower surface of the left forearm. Venogram was performed, which demonstrated adequate appearance of the cephalic vein above the elbow.,Through a transverse incision, the cephalic vein and brachial artery were both exposed at the antecubital fossa. The cephalic vein was divided, and the proximal end was anastomosed to the artery in an end-to-side fashion with a running 6-0 Prolene suture.,The clamps were removed establishing flow through the fistula. Hemostasis was obtained. The wound was closed in layers with PDS sutures. Sterile dressing was applied. The patient was taken to recovery room in stable condition.
Erythema of the right knee and leg, possible septic knee. Aspiration through the anterolateral portal of knee joint.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: , Erythema of the right knee and leg, possible septic knee.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:, Erythema of the right knee superficial and leg, right septic knee ruled out.,INDICATIONS: , Mr. ABC is a 52-year-old male who has had approximately eight days of erythema over his knee. He has been to multiple institutions as an outpatient for this complaint. He has had what appears to be prepatellar bursa aspirated with little to no success. He has been treated with Kefzol and 1 g of Rocephin one point. He also reports, in the emergency department today, an attempt was made to aspirate his actual knee joint which was unsuccessful. Orthopedic Surgery was consulted at this time. Considering the patient's physical exam, there is a portal that would prove to be outside of the erythema that would be useful for aspiration of the knee. After discussion of risks and benefits, the patient elected to proceed with aspiration through the anterolateral portal of his knee joint.,PROCEDURE: ,The patient's right anterolateral knee area was prepped with Betadine times two and a 20-gauge spinal needle was used to approach the knee joint approximately 3 cm anterior and 2 cm lateral to the superolateral pole of the patella. The 20-gauge spinal needle was inserted and entered the knee joint. Approximately, 4 cc of clear yellow fluid was aspirated. The patient tolerated the procedure well.,DISPOSITION: , Based upon the appearance of this synovial fluid, we have a very low clinical suspicion of a septic joint. We will send this fluid to the lab for cell count, crystal exam, as well as culture and Gram stain. We will follow these results. After discussion with the emergency department staff, it appears that they tend to try to treat his erythema which appears to be cellulitis with IV antibiotics.
Ash split venous port insertion. The right anterior chest and supraclavicular fossa area, neck, and left side of chest were prepped with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion.

ASH SPLIT VENOUS PORT,PROCEDURE DETAILS: ,The patient was taken to the operating room and placed in supine position and monitored anesthesia care provided by the anesthetist. The right anterior chest and supraclavicular fossa area, neck, and left side of chest were prepped with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion. Xylocaine 1% was infiltrated in the supraclavicular area and anterior chest along the planned course of the catheter. The patient was placed into Trendelenburg position.,The right internal jugular vein was accessed by a supraclavicular 19-gauge, thin-walled needle as demonstrated by easy withdrawal of venous blood on the first pass of the needle. Under fluoroscopic control, a J-wire was advanced into the right atrium. The needle was removed and the skin puncture site enlarged to about 8 mm with the scalpel. A second incision was made 5 cm inferior to the right midclavicular line, through which an Ash split catheter was advanced, using the tunneling rod, in a gently curving pass to exit the skin of the neck incision. The tunneling needle was removed and the catheter split up to the marker as indicated in the recommended use of the catheter.,Sequential dilators were advanced over the J-wire under fluoroscopic control to dilate the subcutaneous tunnel followed by advancement of a dilator and sheath into the right superior vena cava under fluoroscopic control. The dilator and wire were removed, leaving the sheath in position, through which a double-lumen catheter was advanced into the central venous system. The sheath was peeled away, leaving the catheter into position. Each port of the catheter was flushed with dilute heparinized saline.,The patient was returned to the flat position. The catheter was secured to the skin of the anterior chest using 2-0 Ethilon suture placed through the suture "wings.",The neck incision was closed with 3-0 Vicryl subcuticular closure and pressure dressing applied. Fluoroscopic examination of the chest revealed no evidence of pneumothorax upon completion of the procedure and the catheter was in excellent position.,The patient was returned to the recovery room for postoperative care.
Arthroscopy of the left knee, left arthroscopic medial meniscoplasty of medial femoral condyle, and chondroplasty of the left knee as well. Chondromalacia of medial femoral condyle. Medial meniscal tear, left knee.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:, Medial meniscal tear, left knee.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: , Chondromalacia of medial femoral condyle.,PROCEDURE PERFORMED:,1. Arthroscopy of the left knee.,2. Left arthroscopic medial meniscoplasty of medial femoral condyle.,3. Chondroplasty of the left knee as well.,ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: , 80 cc.,TOTAL TOURNIQUET TIME: , 19 minutes.,DISPOSITION: , The patient was taken to PACU in stable condition.,HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: ,The patient is a 41-year-old male with left knee pain for approximately two years secondary to hockey injury where he did have a prior MCL sprain. He has had a positive symptomology of locking and pain since then. He had no frank instability to it, however.,GROSS OPERATIVE FINDINGS: , We did find a tear to the medial meniscus as well as a large area of chondromalacia to the medial femoral condyle.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: ,The patient was taken to the operating room. The left lower extremity was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. Tourniquet was applied to the left thigh with adequate Webril padding, not inflated at this time. After the left lower extremity had been prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion, we applied an Esmarch tourniquet, exsanguinating the blood and inflated the tourniquet to 325 mmHg for a total of 19 minutes. We established the lateral port of the knee with #11 blade scalpel. We put in the arthroscopic trocar, instilled with water and inserted the camera.,On inspection of the patellofemoral joint, it was found to be quite smooth. Pictures were taken there. There was no evidence of chondromalacia, cracking, or fissuring of the articular cartilage. The patella was well centered over the trochlear notch. We then directed the arthroscope to the medial compartment of the knee. It was felt that there was a tear to the medial meniscus. We also saw large area of chondromalacia with grade-IV changes to bone over the medial femoral condyle. This area was debrided with forceps and the arthroscopic shaver. The cartilage was also smoothened over the medial femoral condyle. This was curetted after the medial meniscus had been trimmed. We looked into the notch. We saw the ACL appeared stable, saw attachments to tibial as well as the femoral insertion with some evidence of laxity, wear and tear. Attention then was taken to the lateral compartment with some evidence of tear to the lateral meniscus and the arterial surface of both the tibia as well as the femur were pristine in the lateral compartment. All instruments were removed. All loose cartilaginous pieces were suctioned from the knee and water was suctioned at the end. We removed all instruments. Marcaine was injected into the portal sites. We placed a sterile dressing and stockinet on the left lower extremity. He was transferred to the gurney and taken to PACU in stable condition.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic subacromial decompression, and arthroscopic extensive debridement, superior labrum anterior and posterior tear.

PROCEDURES,1. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.,2. Arthroscopic subacromial decompression.,3. Arthroscopic extensive debridement, superior labrum anterior and posterior tear.,PROCEDURE IN DETAIL: , After written consent was obtained from the patient, the patient was brought back into the operating room and identified. The patient was placed on the operating room table in supine position and given general anesthetic. Once the patient was under general anesthetic, a careful examination of the shoulder was performed. It revealed no patholigamentous laxity. The patient was then carefully positioned into a beach-chair position. We maintained the natural alignment of the head, neck, and thorax at all times. The shoulder and upper extremity was then prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion.,Once we fully prepped and draped, we then began the surgery. We injected the glenohumeral joint with sterile saline with a spinal needle. This consisted of 60 cc of fluid. We then made a posterior incision for our portal, 2 cm inferior and 2 cm medial to the posterolateral angle of the acromion. Through this incision, a blunt trocar and cannula were placed in the glenohumeral joint. Through the cannula, a camera was placed; and the shoulder was insufflated with sterile saline through a preoperative feed. We then carefully examined the glenohumeral joint.,We found the articular surface to be in good condition. There was a superior labral tear (SLAP). This was extensively debrided using a shaver through an anterior portal. We also found a full thickness rotator cuff tear. We then drained the glenohumeral joint. We redirected our camera into the subacromial space. An anterolateral portal was made, both superior and inferior.,We then proceeded to perform a subacromial decompression using high-speed shaver. The bursa was extensively debrided. We then abraded the bone over the footprint of where the rotator cuff is usually attached. The corkscrew anchors were used to perform a rotator cuff repair. Pictures were taken.,Through a separate incision, an indwelling pain catheter was then placed. It was carefully positioned. Pictures were taken. We then drained the joint. All instruments were removed. The patient did receive IV antibiotic preoperatively. All portals were closed using 4-0 nylon sutures.,Xeroform, 4 x 4s, and OpSite were applied over the pain pump. ABD, tape, and a sling were also applied. A Cryo/Cuff was also placed over the shoulder. The patient was taken out of the beach-chair position maintaining the neutral alignment of the head, neck, and thorax. The patient was extubated and brought to the recovery room in stable condition. I then went out and spoke with the family, going over the case, postoperative instructions, and followup care.
Arthroscopy with arthroscopic subacromial decompression of the left shoulder. Impingement syndrome, left shoulder. Rule out superior labrum anterior and posterior lesion, left shoulder.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:,1. Impingement syndrome, left shoulder.,2. Rule out superior labrum anterior and posterior lesion, left shoulder.,POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:, Impingement syndrome, left shoulder.,PROCEDURE PERFORMED:, Arthroscopy with arthroscopic subacromial decompression of the left shoulder.,ANESTHESIA: , The procedure was done under an interscalene block and subsequent general anesthetic in the modified beachchair position.,SPECIFICATIONS: , The entire operative procedure was done in Inpatient Operating Suite, room #1 at ABCD General Hospital.,HISTORY AND GROSS FINDINGS: , This is a 30-year-old white female suffering increasing left shoulder pain for a number of months prior to surgical intervention. She was completely refractory to conservative outpatient therapy. She had subacromial injection, which relieved the majority of her pain. She also had medial bordered scapular pain unrelated directly to the present problem. She had plus minus SLAP lesion testing preoperatively.,Operative findings in the joint included labrum was intact, long head of the biceps intact, laxity of 1+ all around, but clinically intact and without laxity. Subacromially, type-II plus acromion and no evidence of significant rotator cuff tear with scuffing only.,She also had evidence of calcium deposition in the CA ligament and undersurface of the AC joint.,OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: , The patient was laid supine upon the operative table. After receiving interscalene block general anesthetic by Anesthesia Department, she was placed in modified beachchair position. She was prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner. Portals were created outside the end, anterior and posterior, posterior and anterior, and subsequently laterally. A full and complete diagnostic arthroscopy was carried out in the intraarticular aspect of the joint with the above noted findings.,Attention was then turned to the subacromial region. The scope was placed. A lateral portal was created. Gross bursectomy was carried out. This was done with a 4.2 meniscal shaver as well as a hot Bovie. Calcium deposition mentioned was removed. With the rotator cuff intact, the periosteum was burned off the undersurface of the acromion and the CA ligament released anteriorly. A subacromial decompression sequentially from laterally to medially was then carried out. There was an excellent decompression. Debridement was carried out to the bursa. The portals were ultimately closed with #4-0 after Pain Buster catheter had been placed. Subacromial region was flooded with 0.5% Marcaine at approximately 15 cc or so. Adaptic, 4x4s, ABDs, and Elastoplast tape placed for dressing. The patient was awoken and transferred to PACU in apparent satisfactory condition. Expected surgical prognosis on this patient is fair.
