[Postoperative long-term results in high-grade traumatic ruptures of the spleen in children].
Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
The majority of primarily partially spleen-preserving operations result from OIS grade IV ruptures of the spleen. Use of a partially spleen-saving surgical approach was successful in ¾ of these patients. Low morbidity and documented perfusion of the remnant spleen at long-term follow-up indicate that a spleen-preserving technique is warranted if an...

Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
Reductions of mean and upper thresholds of length of stay are present in all surgical disciplines. Total reimbursements developed partially in a contradictory manner. Negative growth involves the danger that hospital investments cannot be realised, especially in the presence of high personnel costs.

Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
A primary perineal reconstruction after APRE can reduce the rate of perineal wound complications. Furthermore, neoadjuvant treatment was shown to carry a major risk for wound complications. Patients after radio-/chemotherapy should undergo a primary reconstruction to prevent procedure-related perioperative morbidity. Subsequently, delays in adjuvan...
[Time of operative treatment of maldescensus testis in childhood - wishes and reality].
Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
Regarding guidelines the average age of cryptorchid boys receiving orchidopexy at the University Clinic of Würzburg was way too high between 2005 and 2010. To some extent this fact can be attributed to the hesitant manner of therapy shown by local paediatricians. An improvement in the time of operation is definitely possible and necessary in order ...

Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
Our results suggest that the iliac part of an ilioinguinal lymph node dissection significantly contributes to lymphoedema. Because of the multitude of reasons for swellings of the lower leg, volumetry of the thigh seems to be most adequate for quantifying the amount of postoperative lymphoedema.

Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
Compression garments used in the therapy for hypertrophic scars must be individually fitted in order to guarantee a sufficient pressure of on average 26 mmHg. Incorrectly measured compression garments lead to the development of highly hypertrophic scars. Our results also showed that compression garments must be changed regularly because of the natu...

Published in Zentralblatt für Chirurgie
We were able to mitigate the challenges of TEM through the establishment of the technically less demanding V-TEM method, which resulted in approximately 50 % lower initial set-up costs while maintaining overall treatment outcomes.
