Midline Posterior Approach to the Ankle and Hindfoot

Foot & Ankle International, 2006
Background: The posterior approach to the ankle and hindfoot can be used for fixation of fractures, fusions, or osteotomies and is especially useful in patients with poor soft tissue anteriorly, medially, or laterally. However, a high rate of wound complications has been reported with standard posterolateral and posteromedial approaches.

The Approach by Midline Incision for Extraperitoneal Kidney Transplantation

Transplantation Proceedings, 2007
No data are available on incisional hernia in renal transplant recipients using a midline incision. This study evaluated the incidence of abdominal wall incisional hernia, comparing two surgical approaches: midline and J-shaped incisions.Between 1991 and 2005, 415 consecutive patients underwent renal transplantation: between 1991 and 1997, 139 patients

Midline approaches to cerebrovascular lesions

Operative Techniques in Neurosurgery, 2000
Midline posterior circulation aneurysms lie in one of the most difficult regions to access surgically. The standard lateral and transtentorial approaches are useful, yet at times are hindered by suboptimal visualization, a long working distance, and possible need for retraction of the brain stem and lower cranial nerves.

Possibilities and Limits of the Midline Interhemispheric Approach

1985
Based on experience in 17 children operated upon between 1978 and 1984, the possibilities and limitations of the interhemispheric parafalx approach to lesions of the anterior and posterior lateral ventricles and the third ventricle are described. The interhemispheric approach seems more advantageous than transcortical approaches since additional ...

Excision of Laryngocele via Transcervical Midline Approach

The Laryngoscope, 2010
Acute airway obstruction in the adult can be caused by a rapidly enlarging laryngeal cyst that may present unusually as a midline neck mass. In this case report we present a different surgical technique for the removal of a large combined laryngocele via midline transcervical approach that did not require laryngofissure.

Comparison of flank and midline approaches to the ovariohysterectomy of cats

Veterinary Record, 2006
In a survey of uk veterinary practitioners, 96 per cent indicated that they performed ovariohysterectomy on cats via flank laparatomy rather than a midline coeliotomy. At a veterinary teaching hospital 32 cats were spayed by the midline approach and 34 by the flank approach, by undergraduate ...

Open Transnasal Approach to the Midline Skull Base

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1996
Surgical access to the anterior skull base for resection of midline tumors is commonly performed through a transfacial approach. We describe a new, open transnasal approach to the midline skull base and adjacent pituitary region. This technique, devised through our experience with open septorhinoplasty, was initially studied on fresh cadaver heads.

Operative Approaches to Midline Tumors

1985
We have now operated and confirmed 80 tumors of the pineal region. Our experience is that 30 percent of these are benign, encapsulated and can be removed, and that only 30 percent represent germinomas. Another 30 percent are astrocytomas of varying grade.

The posterior midline approach to a cervical disc

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1973
The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia using a nonkinking cuffed endotracheal tube. The operation may be done with the patient in the prone, sitting, or lateral position. Skull fixation is desirable to maintain proper alignments. In the prone position, the patient is placed on chest rolls with shoulders well over the end of the table ...

Extraperitoneal midline approach to retroperitoneum in children

Urology, 1982
Abstract An extraperitoneal midline incision permits simultaneous access to both the upper and lower urinary tract in children. It does not interfere with the nervous and blood supplies of the abdominal wall and does not create intestinal adhesions. In the 4 cases in which it has been used, results have been excellent.
