review of the abdominal CT scan. The physician determines the patient has chronic appendicitis. The physician schedules an appendectomy and takes the patient to the operating room. The

A 67-year-old male presents with DJD and spondylolisthesis at L4-L5 The patient is placed prone on the operating table and, after induction of general anesthesia, the lower back is sterilely prepped and draped. One incision was made over L1-L5. This was confirmed with a probe under fluoroscopy. Laminectomies are done at vertebral segments L4 and L5 with facetectomies to relieve pressure to the nerve roots. Allograft was packed in the gutters from L1-L5 for a posterior arthrodesis. Pedicle screws were placed at L2, L3, and L4. The construct was copiously irrigated and muscle; fascia and skin were closed in layers.

A 45-year-old patient comes In with chronic sinusitis that has not responded to medication. The physician decides to use a sinus stent implant to help alleviate the patients symptoms.
The physician inserts the implant into the ethmoid sinus using a delivery system. This implant is designed to keep the surgical opening clear, prop open the sinus, and gradually release a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties directly to the sinus lining. The implant is not permanent and will dissolve over time.

Operative Report
Preoperative Diagnosis: Nonfunctioning right kidney with ureteral stricture.
Postoperative Diagnosis: Nonfunctioning right kidney with ureteral stricture.
Procedure: Right nephrectomy with partial ureterectomy.
Findings and Procedure: Under satisfactory general anesthesia, the patient was placed in the right flank position. Right flank and abdomen were prepared and draped out of the sterile field. Skin incision was made between the 11th and 12th ribs laterally. The incision was carried down through the underlying subcutaneous tissues, muscles, and fascia. The right retroperitoneal space was entered. Using blunt and sharp dissection, the right kidney was freed circumferentially. The right artery, vein, and ureter were identified. The ureter was dissected downward where it is completely obstructed in its distal extent. The ureter was clipped and divided distally. The right renal artery was then isolated and divided between 0 silk suture ligatures. The right renal vein was also ligated with suture ligatures and 0 silk ties. The right kidney and ureter were then submitted for pathologic evaluation. The operative field was inspected, and there was no residual bleeding noted, and then it was carefully irrigated with sterile water. Wound closure was then undertaken using 0 Vicryl for the fascial layers, 0 Vicryl for the muscular layers, 2-0 chromic for subcutaneous tissue, and clips for the skin. A Penrose drain was brought out through the dependent aspect of the incision. The patient lost minimal blood and tolerated the procedure well.
