Neuropathy of the foot.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Neuropathy of the foot.
INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE
Patient presented for repeated lumbar sympathetic block. The last one gave her excellent
temporary benefit, but no long-term benefits. She now presents for her 2nd diagnostic injection.
PROCEDURE
With the patient prone, we prepped and draped the back in sterile fashion. After lidocaine
local infiltration, under fluoroscopic guidance, we advanced the 22-gauge, 6 inch needle via
the paramedian approach to the anterolateral border of the L3 vertebral body and injected the
Isovue-M 300 dye. We noted good cephalocaudal spread. However, most of the spread was from
L3 up to L2 with very little spread down to L4. We injected 10 mL of 0.25% Marcaine there, and
the patient had excellent temporary benefit from the injection, without complications. Patient will
return in a few weeks for a follow-up to assess the efficacy of the injection.

44. Scenario 4
PROCEDURE
ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM.
FINDINGS
This is an 18-channel digital EEG recording for an 80-year-old female with sudden onset of
altered mental status. She is reportedly on multiple medications at this time. Background
characterized by diffuse slowing and disorganization consisting of medium-voltage theta rhythm
at 4-6 Hz from all head areas. From anterior head areas, there is faster activity at beta range.
Eye movements and muscle artifacts are noted. EEG artifacts at 72 per minute were noted.
IMPRESSION
Moderately abnormal record due to diffuse slowing and disorganization of the background, with
slowing at theta range. The EEG indicates encephalopathic process. However, a structural lesion
cannot be ruled out and therefore clinical correlation is necessary.

INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE
Patient, 45, is female and has been in the intensive care unit for over a month with bilateral chest
tubes for chronic draining pleural effusions. Her effusion has cleared, and she has been referred
for removal of tubes.
PROCEDURE
We prepped and draped the patient over both of her chest tube sites. We applied pressure over
the sites and closed the skin with interrupted #3-0 Ethilon sutures. We cleansed the skin and
applied Vaseline occlusive dressing over the sites. Then, we performed the same procedure on
the other side, and removed the chest tubes on full inspiration. Her vital signs remained stable
throughout the procedure.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Incisional hernia.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Incisional hernia.
PRIMARY PROCEDURE
OPEN INCISIONAL HERNIA REPAIR WITH MESH INSERTION.
INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE
Patient had previous midline prostate surgery. Upper end of the incision adjacent to the umbilicus
gave way, with an incisional hernia approximately 1.5 cm in diameter, which was painful.
PROCEDURE
The patient underwent general anesthesia in the OR. We clipped, draped and prepped the anterior
abdominal wall in the usual sterile manner and made the periumbilical incision to encompass
the previous prostate surgery incision. Fibrotic tissue from the prostate surgery scar was taken
down and we dissected until reaching the fascia. We opened the upper end of the prostate surgery
incision approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. We mobilized the hernia that was protruding into this
area and cleared the fascial edges. We retracted the umbilicus laterally and then disconnected this
from the fascia. We cleared the opening circumferentially in the subperitoneal plane in order to
cleanse the fat that was part of the hernia sac. We used small Ventralex mesh with a 3 cm overlap
from the fascia to REPLACE INTO the peritoneal cavity, and cinched it with the straps with the rough
portion lying against the peritoneum and muscle. We then sutured the mesh with the #1 Nurolon
and M06 needle to get good pieces of the fascia and straps of the mesh. Circumferential suturing
was necessary to ensure adequate adherence of the mesh to the peritoneum, and good hemostasis
was noted. While suturing the mesh we made every effort to confirm there was no injury to the
bowel. Further, we developed a layer of subcutaneous fat and hernia sac, which we used to close
the opening of the mesh at that point. Next, we reattached the umbilicus to the fascia and closed
the skin with 4-0 Monocryl subcuticular sutures as well as application of Dermabond. Lastly, we
applied dressing and woke the patient, who tolerated the procedure well.

48. Scenario 8
The patient was already undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, with bag mask and chest
compressions. I immediately began supervising the manual compressions. A brief consultation with
his nurse indicated that the patient was doing well, then suddenly vomited and afterwards his
heart rate dropped to 0. Upon arrival on the scene, the crash cart was being moved into position;
I helped the nurses attach the monitoring leads and defibrillation pads. Then, we assessed his
rhythm and found he was in ventricular fibrillation. I ordered cardioversion defibrillation at
120 joules, followed by 2 minutes of manual CPR. During 2 minutes of CPR, 1 of epinephrine
and 1 of atropine were administered. CPR was continued and another round of epinephrine and
atropine were administered. We continued the CPR for approximately 20 minutes with a total of
5 epinephrine, 3 atropine, 2 bicarb, 1 calcium and 1 magnesium administered. The patient had
positive ventilation during this time with bilateral breath sounds monitored at each rhythm check
in 2-minute intervals between CPR. After approximately 25 minutes, we noted a junctional rhythm
on the monitor and the patient had a weak pulse. His pulse was soon lost, and we continued CPR.
At the next evaluation between CPR, the patient was back in atrial fibrillation with a positive pulse
in his carotid, femoral and radial arteries. At this time, we transported him to ICU.

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Left diabetic foot ulcer.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS
Left diabetic foot ulcer.
PRIMARY PROCEDURE
LEFT BELOW-THE-KNEE AMPUTATION.
INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE
Patient is 62 years old, diabetic and has developed left heel abscess. He has had a previous
calcaneal fracture and several previous debridements with placement of antibiotic beads. After
re-inspecting the wound last week, the plan is possible debridement and the patient desires
below-the-knee amputation.
PROCEDURE
The patient was placed in the appropriate supine position in the OR, and general anesthesia
was induced. We placed cast padding on his left proximal thigh and applied the tourniquet. We
prepped and draped his left lower extremity in the usual sterile fashion and made the transverse
incision around the midshaft of the tibia, creating a long posterior flap. We continued the flap to
the subcutaneous tissues with electrocautery technique. Note that tourniquet was inflated after
exsanguination of the limb. We then identified, clamped and cut the superficial peroneal nerve and
divided the anterior compartment. With the anterior neurovascular bundle identified, we clamped
and cut it, and took the plane between the deep and superficial compartments. The superficial
compartment was reflected posteriorly, and the tibial nerve and vessels identified, clamped and cut.
Workbook 65
Next, we elevated the periosteum of the tibia proximally, along with the fibula, cut the tibia with
the Gigli saw, beveled it anteriorly and smoothed it with rasp. We cut the fibula about 1.5 cm
proximal to this with the large bone cutter and divided the remaining posterior compartment.
We clamped and cut the peroneal bundle and passed the leg off the field. At this point, each
vascular bundle was double-ligated with 0 silk-stick tie and 0 silk-free tie. We also pulled the
nerves at length, injected them with 0.25% Marcaine with epinephrine, cut and later retracted
them proximally. We released the tourniquet and achieved good bleeding from the tissues along
with hemostasis via electrocautery. We closed the remaining fascia with #1 Vicryl and closed the
subcutaneous tissues with 2-0 PDS sutures using 2-0 Monocryl sutures in interrupted fashion.
Finally, we closed the skin with skin staples and applied Xeroform gauze 4 x 4 and a padded soft
dressing. The patient was placed in well-padded anterior and posterior slab splints with the knee
extended. Patient was then awakened, extubated and taken to recovery in stable condition. There
were no immediate complications, and he tolerated the procedure well.
