Percutaneous Cholecystolithotomy [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 1988
A percutaneous method was used to remove stones from otherwise normal gall bladders, as assessed by cholecystography and ultrasonography. The procedure was performed in a single stage under general anaesthesia, adopting the method and instruments used for one stage percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Urology, 1981
Summary— Small mobile stones in the major renal collecting system can be extracted through a percutaneous tract. Initially the radiologist performs a conventional percutaneous needle nephrostomy and inserts a pigtail catheter into the renal pelvis. Over the next week the tract formed is serially dilated to a size large enough to pass a cystoscope into ...

Percutaneous tracheostomy. [PDF]

open access: yesCritical care (London, England), 1999
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) has gained an increasing acceptance as an alternative to the conventional surgical tracheostomy (ST). In experienced hands, and with proper patient selection, it is safe, easy and quick. COMPLICATIONS: Perioperative complications are comparable with those of ST and these are mostly minor.

Full feature selection for estimating KAP radiation dose in coronary angiographies and percutaneous coronary interventions [PDF]

open access: yesComputers in Biology and Medicine (2020): 103725, 2020
In interventional cardiology (IC) the radiation dose variation is very significant, and its estimation has been difficult due to the complexity of the treatments. In order to tackle this problem, the aim of this study was to identify the most important demographic and clinical features to estimate Kerma-Area Product (KAP) radiation dose in coronary ...

Aid to Percutaneous Renal Access by Virtual Projection of the Ultrasound Puncture Tract onto Fluoroscopic Images [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Endourology 21, 5 (2007) 460-5, 2007
Background and Purpose: Percutaneous renal access in the context of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a difficult technique, requiring rapid and precise access to a particular calix. We present a computerized system designed to improve percutaneous renal access by projecting the ultrasound puncture tract onto fluoroscopic images.

Percutaneous arthrodesis [PDF]

open access: yesActa Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 2003
It has been generally accepted that residual cartilage and subchondral bone has to be removed in order to get bony fusion in arthrodeses. In 1998 we reported successful fusion of 11 rheumatoid ankles, all treated with percutaneous fixation only. In at least one of these ankle joint there was cartilage left.

Assessment of a percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion simulator [PDF]

open access: yesOrthop Traumatol Surg Res (2009) epub ahead of print, 2009
BACKGROUND: Navigational simulator use for specialized training purposes is rather uncommon in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. However, it reveals providing a valuable tool to train orthopaedic surgeons and help them to plan complex surgical procedures.
