Surgical outcome

Large warts Treat warts greater than 10 mm in diameter with surgical excision. Use imiquimod for three to four treatment cycles to reduce the number of warts and improve surgical outcomes. Fifty percent reduction in wart size after four treatment cycles warrants continued use of imiquimod until warts clear or eight cycles have been completed less than 50% reduction warrants surgical excision or other ablative therapy. 

The Child-Pugh classification system uses a combination of physical and laboratory findings to assess and define the severity of cirrhosis and is a predictor of patient survival, surgical outcome, and risk of variceal bleeding (Table 21-3). 

Candidates must be in excellent health and have no conditions that would restrict their ability to safely do fire suppression and rescue work. Weight (body fat content) must be proportionate to height for men and women. Uncorrected distance visual acuity of at least 20/100 in the poorer eye and 20/40 in the better eye, correctable to at least 20/40 in one eye and 20/20 in the other eye, is required. Regarding refractive surgery, most persons who have had these procedures will be passed. However, some may be deferred for several months or disqualified based on an individualized assessment of the surgical outcome. Color vision Candidates must be able to accurately and quickly name colors and must be free of other visual impairments that would restrict the ability to perform firefighter duties.

The experience and expertise of the surgical center and surgeon is of considerable importance in evaluating the surgical outcome of Graves disease. The above complication rates pertain to adults treated at expert surgical centers. We know little about current complication rates following thyroidectomy performed on the pediatric population. 

Some studies have shown that there were no differences between patients with mild-to-moderate hypothyroidism and euthyroid controls in perioperative complications and surgical outcomes (Weinberg et ai, 1983), whereas other... 

The use of human AM to wrap the PTT and PT at the conclusion of surgery in order to inhibit adhesion formation and improve the surgical outcome represents an innovative improvement in tendon repair. 

The quality of the surgical site visualization directly impacts the quality of surgical outcomes. Recent trends toward miniaturization in medical instruments highlight the functionality of miniature cameras. Commonly denoting a total diameter of less than 3 mm, miniature cameras bring new challenges together with their inherent benefits [38]. These...
