AbstractBackgroundPrevious trials show good outcomes following anterior and
posterior partial versus Nissen fundoplication for gastro‐oesophageal reflux.
However, it is unclear which partial fundoplication performs best. This study
compared anterior 180° versus posterior 270° fundoplication.MethodsAt three
hospitals, patients were randomized to anterior 180° versus posterior 270°

To infiltrate or not? Acute effects of local anaesthetic in breast surgeryANZ Journal of Surgery - Tập 85 Số 5 - Trang 353-357 - 2015
Ian Campbell, Shelley Cavanagh, J. E. Creighton, Rowan French, Shramana Banerjee, E. Beth Kerr, Rachel Shirley
AbstractBackgroundThere is limited evidence to support use of local anaesthetic
(LA) wound infiltration in breast surgery. This study seeks to examine whether
wound infiltration of bupivacaine (0.25%) decreases post‐operative pain and
analgesic use, without increasing post‐operative complications.MethodsA
prospective single‐blind study was undertaken of 90 patients undergoing breast
lump excision,... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnostic accuracy of Charcot's triad: a systematic reviewANZ Journal of Surgery - Tập 87 Số 4 - Trang 232-238 - 2017
Steva Rumsey, Joel Winders, Andrew D. MacCormick
BackgroundCharcot's triad is a well‐established diagnostic tool for acute
cholangitis (AC). It has been recognized as an inaccurate test in clinical
practice; however, its exact sensitivity and specificity remain unclear. This
knowledge is key to informing the value of its continued clinical application.
The objectives of this study are to calculate an estimate of the sensitivity and
specificity o... hiện toàn bộ
NON‐NEOPLASTIC CYSTIC AND CYSTIC‐LIKE LESIONS OF THE PANCREAS: MAY MIMIC PANCREATIC CYSTIC NEOPLASMSANZ Journal of Surgery - Tập 76 Số 5 - Trang 325-331 - 2006
Brian K. P. Goh, Yu‐Meng Tan, Yaw‐Fui Alexander Chung, Pierce K. H. Chow, Hock Soo Ong, Dennis Lim, Wai‐Keong Wong, London Lucien Ooi
Background: Cystic lesions of the pancreas consist of a broad range of
pathological entities. With the exception of the pancreatic pseudocyst, these
are usually caused by pancreatic cystic neoplasms. Non‐neoplastic pancreatic
cystic and cystic‐like lesions are extremely rare. In the present article, the
surgical experience with these unusual entities over a 14‐year period is
reported.Methods: Be... hiện toàn bộ
COMPOSITION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN DIATHERMY PLUME AS DETECTED BY SELECTED ION FLOW TUBE MASS SPECTROMETRYANZ Journal of Surgery - Tập 77 Số 1-2 - Trang 20-23 - 2007

health professionals, but the risks posed by volatile organic compounds have not
been thoroughly investigated.Methods: The composition of volatile organic
compounds in diathermy plume produced during surgery was analysed by selected
ion flow tube mass spectrometry.Results: Hydrogen cyanide (3–51 parts per
million), acetyl... hiện toàn bộ
