LIFT technique is the novel modified approach through the intersphincteric plane for the treatment of fistula-in-ano, known as LIFT (ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract) procedure. LIFT procedure is based on secure closure of the internal opening and removal of infected cryptoglandular tissue through the intersphincteric approach.
The operative report is dictated right after a surgical procedure and later transcribed into the patient's record.

The Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE), used to treat fecal incontinence, is like the Mitrofanoff procedure as it uses the Mitrofanoff principle and, thus, can be considered an analogous procedure. [8] As fecal and urinary incontinence frequently co-exist, a MACE is often created at the same time as a continent catheterizable urinary ...

The type of vascular access created for patients on hemodialysis is influenced by factors such as the expected time course of a patient's kidney failure and the condition of his or her vasculature.

[1] If the appendix was previously removed or is unusable, a neoappendix can be created with a cecal flap. [2] A. Button device in the cecum via the appendix. B.
Surgery to treat a CSF-venous fistula in CSF leak patients is highly effective. [86] Neurosurgery is available to directly repair leaking meningeal diverticula . The areas of dura leak can be tied together in a process called ligation and then a metal clip can be placed in order to hold the ligation closed. [ 24 ]
