RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO Os mixomas são tumores primários cardíacos correspondendo em sua grande maioria de natureza benigna e de constituição sólida, sendo a prevalência mais comum no lado esquerdo (75 a 80% dos casos), com predomínio no sexo feminino. Apesar da histogênese mais comum ser benigna deve-se prosseguir com exérese precoce devido às possíveis complicações, em especial morte súbita e acidentes vasculares. O ecocardiograma é o exame diagnóstico de escolha pois caracteriza tamanho, localização e mobilidade da tumoração assim como a capacidade de obstrução e/ou de formação de êmbolos. Outra opção é a ressonância magnética cardíaca pois além das características anatômicas nos fornece dados de características do microambiente do tumor. DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO Paciente do sexo feminino, 40 anos, proveniente de São Paulo (SP). Deu entrada neste Serviço referenciada de hospital secundário com história de palpitações em precórdio associada a dispneia e astenia intensa com duração de 20 minutos há cerca de 3 meses. Nega queixas durante o período interepisódio assim como nega dor torácica. Como antecedentes patológicos possui fibrilação atrial (FA) paroxística com controle de frequência cardíaca com propranolol 40mg/dia e hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) em uso de losartana 50mg/dia. Nega internações prévios devido o quadro supracitado. Em ECOTT realizado no serviço de origem presença de imagem hiperecoica, homogênea, aderida ao septo interatrial em átrio esquerdo medindo em seus maiores diâmetros aproximadamente 2,6x2,2cm sugestiva de mixoma atrial esquerdo. Prosseguindo investigação realizou novo ECOTT no Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia (IDPC) onde observou-se imagem sugestiva de linha de dissecção que se inicia logo após a emergência da artéria subclávia esquerda que se estende até a aorta abdominal proximal. Atualmente recebendo propranolol 40mg/dia e losartana 50mg/dia, evoluindo com bons controles pressóricos e frequência cardíaca sendo programado a exérese de mixoma localizado em atrial esquerdo pela equipe do miocárdio do IDPC e posterior acompanhamento no ambulatório da equipe. CONCLUSÃO Apesar de se tratar de tumores raros e possuírem histologia benigna, os mixomas devem ser investigados e prosseguir com ressecção tumoral com brevidade, devido aos riscos de embolização. Idealmente a investigação deve ser iniciada com o ecocardiograma, seja o transesofágico ou transtorácico, como foi no caso relatado acima onde flagrou-se o mixoma em átrio esquerdo.

PURPOSE: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, introduced in 1985 by Prof. Dr. Erich Mühe, has become the gold standard for treating chronic symptomatic calculous cholecystopathy and acute cholecystitis, with an estimated 750,000 procedures performed annually in the United States of America. The risk of iatrogenic bile duct injury persists, ranging from 0.2 to 1.3%. Risk factors include male gender, obesity, acute cholecystitis, previous hepatobiliary surgery, and anatomical variations in Calot's triangle. Strategies to mitigate bile duct injury include the Critical View of Safety and fundus-first dissection, along with intraoperative cholangiography and alternative approaches like subtotal cholecystectomy. METHODS: This paper introduces the shoeshine technique, a maneuver designed to achieve atraumatic exposure of anatomical structures, local hemostatic control, and ease of infundibulum mobilization. This technique involves the use of a blunt dissection tool and gauze to create traction and enhance visibility in Calot's triangle, particularly beneficial in cases of severe inflammation. Steps include using the critical view of safety and Rouviere's sulcus line for orientation, followed by careful dissection and traction with gauze to maintain stability and reduce the risk of instrument slippage. RESULTS: The technique, routinely used by the authors in over 2000 cases, has shown to enhance patient safety and reduce bile duct injury risks. CONCLUSION: The shoeshine technique represents a simple and easy way to apply maneuver that can help surgeon during laparoscopic cholecystectomies exposing the hepatocystic area and promote blunt dissection.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this retrospective article is to evaluate postoperative outcomes after extracapsular dissection for small benign superficial parotid neoplasms (<3â¯cm) in patients who received Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) flap and in patients who did not receive it. METHODS: Two groups were created and statistically compared regarding Frey's syndrome and aesthetic satisfaction by data collected through the POI-8 validated questionnaire and through an aesthetic satisfaction scale ranging from 1 to 10. The difference between these two groups was the utilization of SMAS flap. SMAS flap was harvested in one of these two group, meanwhile was not used in the other. RESULTS: The p-value analysis between group 1 and group 2 on these complications, resulted statistically not significant. Also, the aesthetic satisfaction resulted not statistically significant between group 1 and group 2. Gender, localization, and facial palsy resulted statistically correlated with the aesthetic satisfaction (p-value < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, there is no statistical difference in the use of SMAS flap for benign parotid neoformations of the superficial lobe, with a diameter of less than 3â¯cm for which extracapsular dissection is adopted as a surgical technique.

SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to analyze the potential for compression of the median nerve (MN) caused by the bicipital aponeurosis (BA), the humeral and ulnar heads of the pronator teres muscle (PTM) and the arcade of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle (FDS) in recently deceased cadavers. In this analysis 20 forearms of 10 recently deceased adult male cadavers were dissected. Dissections were performed in the institution's autopsy room or anatomy laboratory. The short and long heads of the biceps brachii muscle, as well as the BA were identified in all upper upper limbs. The BA received contribution from the short and long heads of the biceps brachii muscle. In 12 upper limbs the BA was wide and thickened and in 8 it was supported by the MN. In 5 upper limbs, the BA was wide but not very thick, and in 3 it was narrow and not very thick. We identified the existence of the FDS muscle arcade in all dissected upper limbs. A fibrous arcade was identified in 4 forearms, a muscular arcade in 14 and a transparent arcade in 2 upper limbs. In all of them, we recorded that the arcade was in contact with the MN. We recorded the humeral and ulnar heads of the PTM in all dissected upper limbs, with the presence of fibrous beams between them along their entire length. The MN was positioned between the humeral and ulnar heads of the PTM in all upper limbs. In eight upper limbs (40 %), we identified that the BA had thickness and contact with the MN with the potential to cause its compression. Compression between the humeral and ulnar heads of the PTM by the fibrous connections has the potential to cause nerve compression in all upper limbs (100 %). We did not identify that the anatomical structure of the FDS arcade had the potential to cause compression in the MN.
El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la potencial compresión del nervio mediano (NM) causado por la aponeurosis bicipital (AB), las cabezas humeral y cubital del músculo pronador redondo (MPR) y la arcada del músculo flexor superficial de los dedos (MFS). En este análisis se diseccionaron 20 antebrazos de 10 cadáveres masculinos de individuos adultos fallecidos recientemente. Las disecciones se realizaron en la sala de autopsias o en el laboratorio de anatomía de la Institución. En todos los miembros superiores se identificaron las cabezas corta y larga del músculo bíceps braquial, así como la AB. La AB recibió contribución de las cabezas corta y larga del músculo bíceps braquial. En 12 miembros superiores la AB era ancha y engrosada y en 8 estaba sostenida por el NM. En 5 miembros superiores la AB era ancha pero poco gruesa, y en 3 era estrecha y de menor grosor. Identificamos la existencia de la arcada muscular MFS en todos los miembros superiores disecados. Se identificó una arcada fibrosa en 4 antebrazos, una arcada muscular en 14 y una arcada delgada y transparente en 2 miembros superiores. En todos ellos registramos que la arcada estaba en contacto con el NM. Registramos las cabezas humeral y cubital del MPR en todos los miembros superiores disecados, con presencia de haces fibrosos entre ellas en toda su longitud. El NM estaba situado entre las cabezas humeral y cubital del MPR en todos los miembros superiores. En ocho miembros superiores (40 %), identificamos que la AB era gruesa y tenía contacto con el NM con potencial para causar su compresión. La compresión entre las cabezas humeral y ulnar del MPR, por las conexiones fibrosas, tiene el potencial de causar compresión nerviosa en todos los miembros superiores (100 %). No identificamos que la estructura anatómica de la arcada MFS tuviera el potencial de causar compresión del NM.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of protecting the facial nerve with a modified endaural approach with a peripheral dissection of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to access the temporomandibular joint which allows an excellent operative field of visualization, multiple surgical procedures of the temporomandibular joint, and general care which improves the immediate postoperative period, making this a less morbid surgery. This study included 33 patients (39 sides) who underwent surgical treatment for disorders of the temporomandibular joint from the years 2021 to 2023 at the maxillofacial department of the clinic "Colsanitas" located in Bogota, Colombia. Therapeutic results were evaluated by postoperative facial nerve injury, with the House-Brackman scale; every patient was examined for adequate facial musculature function immediately after surgery. Notably, zero patients presented facial nerve injury. These results imply that the modified endaural approach with a peripheral dissection of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to access the temporomandibular joint reduces the incidence of facial nerve injuries, improves operative site exposure, and lowers the frequency of complications.

INTRODUCTION: Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms with malignant potential. We aim to follow up on our initial experience published in 2015 and compare the occurrence of complications and postoperative outcomes with the use of retrocarotid dissection (RCD) against the standard caudocranial (SCCD) technique. METHODS: This was an observational, case-control study in which we analyzed all of the carotid body tumor resections performed from 1986 to 2022. Parametric and nonparametric tests were used accordingly. Statistical analysis was performed on Stata 17. RESULTS: A total of 181 surgical procedures were included, mean age was 56 years (± 13.63), and 168 (93%) were performed in women. The mean medio-lateral diameter was larger in the RCD group (2.85 ± 1.57 cm vs 1.93 ±1.85 cm; p = 0.002) and presurgical embolization was more frequently performed in the SCCD group (27.5% vs 0.7%; p < 0.001). A total of 40 (22.09%) resections were performed using the SCCD technique. In contrast, in 141 (77.91%) procedures the RCD technique was used. The mean surgical time in the RCD group was lower (197.37 ± 70.56 min vs 232 ± 98.34 min; p = 0.01). No statistically significant difference was found between SCCD and RCD in terms of vascular lesions (n = 20 [11.04%], 15% vs 9%, respectively; p = 0.36), transient or permanent nerve injuries (25% vs 33%, respectively; p = 0.31), or mean intraoperative bleeding (SCCD: 689.95 ± 680.05 mL vs RCD: 619.64 ± 837.94 mL; p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: RCD appears to be a safe and equivalent alternative to the standard caudocranial approach in terms of intraoperative bleeding or vascular lesions, with a sustained, significant decrease in surgical time.

PURPOSE: The hamstrings muscles are innervated by sciatic nerve branches. However, previous studies assessing which and how many branches innervate each muscle have yielded discrepant results. This study investigated the innervation patterns of hamstrings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five cadaver limbs were investigated. The average age of subjects was 78.6 ± 17.2 years, with 48.6% male and 51.4% female, while 57.1% were right limbs and 42.9% left. The sciatic nerve, hamstrings and associated structures were dissected. The number of nerve branches for each muscle and the level where they penetrated the muscle were recorded. RESULTS: The sciatic nerve was connected by a fibrous band to the long head of the biceps femoris. This muscle was innervated by either one or two branches, which penetrated the muscle into its superior or middle third. The short head of the biceps femoris was innervated by a single nerve that usually penetrated its middle third, but sometimes inferiorly or, less commonly, superiorly. The semitendinosus was always innervated by two branches, the superior branch penetrating its upper third, the inferior mostly the middle third. The semimembranosus usually was innervated by a single nerve branch that penetrated the muscle at its middle or lower third. Four specimens revealed common nerves that innervated than one muscle. CONCLUSIONS: We have characterized hamstring innervation patterns, knowledge that is relevant to neurolysis, surgery of the thigh, and other procedures. Moreover, a mechanical connection between the sciatic nerve and biceps femoris long head was identified that could explain certain neuralgias.
