Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Kidney Transplant II: Surgical Procedure

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living donor...

Area of Science:

Urology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) for symptomatic hydronephrosis (SH) presents challenges due to limited working space.
This study details a technical modification using the SAND balloon catheter to improve RN efficiency for SH.

Observation:

The SAND balloon catheter was inserted into the hydronephrotic sac to extract fluid, with the catheter's dual balloons sealing the puncture site to prevent urine leakage.
Counter traction provided by the catheter aided in mobilizing the hydronephrotic sac.

Findings:

A modified RN technique utilizing the SAND balloon catheter was successfully applied in a patient with SH due to extrinsic ureteral compression.
The procedure facilitated efficient fluid extraction and sac mobilization while preventing complications.

Implications:

This SAND catheter technique enhances surgeon's vision during RN for SH.
It facilitates safer resection by minimizing the risk of injury to the hydronephrotic sac wall.
