A Comparison Of Four Muscle Relaxant Techniques And Their Incidence Of Postoperative Myalgia In Ambulatory Patients, William James Garske Jr.

Community & Environmental Health Theses & Dissertations

Postoperative myalgia was measured 24 and 72 hours following the administration of four different anesthetic regimens to 36 patients undergoing outpatient or 23-hour admission procedures. Each patient, ASA class I or II, was to undergo procedures of limited duration, 30 to 90 minutes, and surgical stimulation, including procedures such as knee arthroscopy, hernia repair, and breast biopsy. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 1.5 mg/kg, fentanyl 50 mcg, and maintained with O₂ , N₂O, and isoflurane. Group I (n=20), the control, received no muscle relaxant and was maintained with mask ventilation. Group II (n=5) received succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg …

Retained Stones In The Common Bile Duct: Results Of Management, Kamran Hamid, R Azami, W Jaffery, T Hameed

Department of Surgery

Seventeen patients underwent treatment for retained common bile duct stones. In 7 patients the stones were removed via a T-tube tract using steerable catheters while 5 patients underwent ERCP and sphincterotomy and 5 underwent surgical re-exploration. Considering morbidity, mortality, success rate and patients' stay in the hospital, non-operative modalities should be the treatment of choice for retained common bile duct stones.

Harpoon Extraction Of A Common Bile Duct Stone Impacted At The Ampulla Of Vater With Needle-Knife Sphincterotome., Vivian C. Mcalister, Andre Roy, Ron Passi

Vivian C. McAlister

The urgency of dealing with impacted ampullary stones is underlined in the first case reported by Opie6 at the autopsy of a young woman. Impacted ampullary stones that prevent papillary cannulation and standard sphincterotomy make up less than 5% of common bile duct stones seen at ERCP.3 Several series suggest the safe use of needle-knife sphincterotomy to create a choledochoduodenal fistula or to allow subsequent standard sphincterotomy in this situation. These series have also reported failure to extract the stone so that surgical removal was required.3,4Successful sphincterotomy may facilitate the early diagnosis of tumors that cause the ampulla to bulge. …
