#TBT - Patient Spotlight! "After evaluating my shoulder, Dr. Provencher recommended surgery and performed a revision rotator cuff repair. The arthroscopic surgery repaired the supraspinatus tendon as well as the infraspinatus tendon. In addition, he injected platelet-rich plasma to help promote healing. After my surgery I was diligent in completing the prescribed physical therapy, knowing that I had to do my part to heal my injury." https://medilink.us/4pl8 #regenerativemedicine #patientcare #patientsfirst #biologics

Management of short cervix in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: a role for pessary placement following fetoscopic laser surgery? Probability of early delivery after FLS according to preoperative CL The solid line represents patients managed expectantly, and the dashed line represents patients treated with pessary. The red dashed line represents the prediction based on the equation on the interval (5 to 25 mm), as no pessary was placed when patients presented with an initial CL of <5 mm. https://ow.ly/WOQb50QoxyA

In a study on the effects of preoperative celecoxib on pain control after tibial fracture surgery, researchers found that different doses of celecoxib reduced pain scores and morphine consumption. 484 subjects received a placebo or celecoxib one hour before surgery. The celecoxib groups had significantly lower postoperative pain scores, less postoperative nausea and vomiting, lower opioid use, and longer time before requesting analgesics compared to the placebo group, supporting the hypothesis. https://lnkd.in/e5rns2GA

We are proud for our last RCT focusing on the Role of Lugol Solution before thyroidectomy in Graves' disease, just published by the BRITISH JOURNAL OF SURGERY. We found that: -preoperative Lugol solution can significantly reduce FT3 and FT4 levels, but... -Lugol solution does not decrease intra and postoperative blood loss -Lugol solution does not decrease thyroid vascularization -Lugol solution does not decrease duration of surgery, and surgical morbidity. -Lugol solution presents with some problems in availability, tolerability, and reduced patient compliance - Thus, Lugol solution administration cannot be considered a mandatory procedure before total thyroidectomy. https://lnkd.in/etZ4ej2u
