RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: This systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laser phototherapy (LPT) on the reduction in postoperative pain (PP) of endodontic origin after conventional/non-surgical reintervention of root canals. METHODS: This SRM was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021243500) and followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. Meta-analysis was conducted using R software with the "META" package, the mean difference (MD) measure of effect was calculated, and the fixed effect model was applied with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The Cochrane collaboration scale was used to assess the risk of bias and the GRADE tool to assess the quality of evidence. RESULTS: Initially, 1028 articles were found, and five articles were included. Most studies were classified as "low" risk of bias. Of the five clinical studies, four showed a significant decrease in PP after endodontic reintervention in the LPT groups compared to the control group, especially in the first four days after the intervention. In symptomatic teeth with multiple roots, LPT led to less PP at 24 h (MD -0.52 [-1.03; -0.02] p = .04). However, no significant difference between the groups was found at 48 and 72 h (p > .05). The certainty of the evidence was classified as low. CONCLUSION: Despite the limitations of this SRM, LPT was shown to be a promising alternative for reducing and controlling PP in conventional endodontic reintervention. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The use of LPT in endodontic reintervention may be a safe and promising alternative to clinically efficacious agent for use in the management of PP in this procedure.

The aim of this study was to perform an integrative review to identify the most effective supplementary protocols used after filling material (FM) removal and root canal reinstrumentation, during endodontic reintervention. The literature search was performed on the electronic databases PubMed and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), using a combination of specific scientific descriptors. Selection criteria accepted articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese languages, up to August 2021, involving in vitro and ex vivo studies. After applying the eligibility criteria, 46 articles were included for qualitative analysis. The tool for qualitative analysis of quasi-experimental studies of the Joanna Briggs Institute was used to determine the risk of bias of the included articles. The selected articles provided important data regarding the following supplementary protocols: sonic and ultrasonic activation of the irrigating solution; the use of ultrasonic inserts, XP-endo system instruments, and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming for mechanical debridement; and new devices as GentleWave system, and the self-adjusting file. Overall, all supplementary protocols demonstrated efficacy in removing the remaining FM. The implementation of various supplementary protocols can effectively remove the remaining FM from the root canal walls, although complete removal is not always achieved. However, it was not possible to determine the most effective protocol. Conversely, their association can enhance remaining FM removal. Remaining FM attached to root canal walls hinders proper chemical-mechanical preparation during endodontic reintervention. Supplementary protocols optimize the remaining FM removal, enhancing cleaning and disinfection of root canal.

Cotite apendicular é uma rara complicação pós-apendicectomia, que se caracteriza por ser uma inflamação do coto apendicular remanescente devido à obstrução do seu lúmen, geralmente por um fecalito. Isso aumenta a pressão intraluminal, prejudica a drenagem venosa e facilita subsequente infecção bacteriana. Em virtude da baixa incidência desta patologia, seu diagnóstico costuma ser tardio, podendo gerar consequências deletérias ao paciente. Os achados clínicos e radiológicos são semelhantes aos da apencidite aguda, e o tratamento é a reintervenção cirúrgica e complementação da apendicectomia, excisando o coto remanescente.
Stump appendicitis is a rare post-appendectomy complication characterized as an inflammation of the remaining appendicular stump due to obstruction of its lumen, usually by a fecalith. Which increases intraluminal pressure, impairs venous drainage, and facilitates subsequent bacterial infection. Due to the low incidence of this pathology, its diagnosis is usually late, and it can have deleterious consequences for the patient. The clinical and radiological findings are similar to those of acute appendicitis, and the treatment is surgical reintervention and complementary appendectomy, excising the remaining stump.

Resumo O objetivo deste ensaio clínico randomizado foi comparar a prevalência e a intensidade da dor pós-operatória em casos de retratamento endodôntico, utilizando instrumentos manuais ou reciprocantes (automatizados). O tempo necessário para desobturação e reinstrumentação do canal radicular também foi avaliado. Quarenta e oito indivíduos possuindo um dente unirradicular tratado endodonticamente e portador de periodontite apical assintomática foram incluídos no estudo. Os pacientes foram aleatoriamente distribuídos em dois grupos (n=24/grupo): retratamento com instrumentos manuais de aço inoxidável ou um sistema reciprocante de níquel-titânio (Reciproc; VDW, Munique, Alemanha). A reintervenção endodôntica foi realizada em duas consultas, sendo aplicada medicação intracanal à base de hidróxido de cálcio por 14 dias, antes da obturação. O tempo clínico gasto com os protocolos de desobturação e reinstrumentação do canal radicular foi registrado com um cronômetro digital. Após cada visita, a intensidade da dor pós-operatória foi avaliada em 12, 24, 48 horas e 7 dias por meio da escala de estimativa numérica (Numerical Rating Scale - NRS). Além do registro da dor, os pacientes foram questionados quanto ao uso de analgésicos. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por testes Qui-quadrado e Mann-Whitney (α=0.05). Não foi detectada diferença significativa entre os grupos quanto à prevalência e intensidade da dor ou uso de analgésicos em nenhum dos períodos avaliados. O tempo clínico foi significativamente menor no grupo reciprocante (18 versus 41 minutos). Pode-se concluir que os instrumentos manuais e reciprocantes foram equivalentes quanto à prevalência e intensidade de dor pós-operatória e uso de analgésicos, mas a desobturação e reinstrumentação do canal radicular foram duas vezes mais rápidas com o sistema reciprocante.
Abstract The present randomized clinical trial compared the prevalence and intensity of postoperative pain in cases of endodontic reintervention using manual or engine-driven reciprocating instruments. As secondary objectives, the analgesic intake and time required for the root canal filling removal and re-instrumentation were also evaluated. Forty-eight individuals with an endodontically treated single-rooted tooth diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to two comparison groups (n=24/group): reintervention with stainless steel manual instruments or a nickel-titanium reciprocating system (Reciproc; VDW, Munich, Germany). The endodontic reintervention was performed in two sessions with a calcium hydroxide-based intracanal medication applied for 14 days before root canal obturation. Working time for the root canal filling removal and re-instrumentation was recorded with a digital stopwatch. After each visit, postoperative pain intensity was assessed at 12, 24, and 48 hours and seven days using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). The patients were also asked about analgesic intake. Data were analyzed using Pearson chi-square, T and Mann-Whitney U tests (α=0.05). No significant differences between groups were found regarding the prevalence and intensity of pain or the need for analgesic intake at any time point (P > 0.05). Working time was significantly shorter in the reciprocating group (18 versus 41 minutes). In conclusion, manual and reciprocating instruments achieved the same results in terms of prevalence and intensity of postoperative pain and analgesic intake. However, filling material removal and re-instrumentation of the root canals were more than twice as fast when using the reciprocating system.

Introduction: Surgical reintervention patients have not been characterized at Dr. Ambrosio Grillo Portuondo Hospital of Santiago de Cuba. Objective: To characterize the surgically intervened patients according to variables of interest. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out with the patients surgically reintervened in the aforementioned hospital during the 2018-2020 triennium. The sample consisted of 6279 patients. Epidemiological and surgical-clinic variables of interest were analyzed. Data were summarized by frequency analysis. Results: The reintervention rate was 1.7 percent compared to the total number of major operations, while 1.6 percent corresponded to abdominal surgery. There was a predominance of the age group 46-60 years and the female sex predominated, accounting for 37.8 percent and 55 percent, respectively. The initial operation was performed urgently in 91 percent of the cases, due to acute appendicitis and intestinal occlusion, accounting for 21.7 percent and 18 percent, respectively. 70.2 percent of the cases were reintervened four days later for intraabdominal abscess (39.6 percent) and anastomotic suture dehiscence (20.7 percent). On-demand relaparotomy (98.1 percent) was the most performed procedure, with 18 percent of application of the open-abdomen technique. Mortality represented 28 percent of cases, while the most frequent cause of death was septic shock, accounting for 80.6 percent of deaths. Conclusions: The reintervened patients constituted a hospital health concern that impacted on the morbidity and mortality profile of abdominal surgery(AU)

Objective To describe the epidemiological and clinical profile of patients with Dupuytren disease treated by selective fasciectomy and the factors associated with the severity of the disease. Methods Retrospective descriptive observational study involving 247 patients with Dupuytren disease, from 2013 to 2019. Multivariate logistic regression was performed for data analysis. Results Most patients were male (83.8%), self-declared white (65.2%), alcoholics (59.6%) and 49% were smokers, with a mean age of 66 ± 9 years old, with 77.2% presenting symptoms of the disease after the age of 51 years old. Approximately 51.9, 29.6 and 17.3%, respectively, had arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia comorbidities. Bilateral involvement of the hands was observed in 73.3% of the patients. The rate of intra- and post-selective fasciectomy complications was of 0.6 and 24.3%, respectively, with 5.2% of the patients needing reintervention after 1 year of follow-up. After multivariate analysis, males were associated with bilateral involvement of the hands (odds ratio [OR] = 2.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-4.31) and with a greater number of affected rays (OR = 3.41; 95% CI: 1.66-7.03). Dyslipidemia was associated with reintervention (OR = 5.7; 95% CI = 1.03-31.4) and bilaterality with a higher number of complications (35.7 versus 19.7%). Conclusion A low rate of reintervention and operative complications was observed in patients with Dupuytren disease treated by selective fasciectomy. Male gender was associated with severe disease (bilaterality and more than two affected rays), and dyslipidemia with reintervention.

OBJECTIVE: Mesenteric angioplasty and stenting (MAS) has surpassed open revascularization as the treatment of choice for mesenteric ischemia. Despite the lower perioperative mortality associated with MAS, the need for reintervention is not infrequent. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of patients treated for mesenteric artery in-stent restenosis (MAISR). METHODS: Clinical data from a single center between 2004 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Standard statistical analysis including Kaplan-Meier estimate for time-dependent outcomes, χ2 test for categorical variables, and two-sample t-test for continuous variables was performed. Primary end points included stent patency and reintervention rate. Secondary end points included mortality and morbidity. RESULTS: During the study period, 91 patients underwent primary MAS. In total, 113 mesenteric vessels were treated with 20 covered stents and 93 bare-metal stents. Overall primary patency was 69% at 2 years. At 2 years, primary patency was 83% for covered stents compared with 65% for bare-metal stents (P = .17). Of these 91 primary MAS patients, 27 (30%) were treated for MAISR (32 vessels). Two covered stent patients developed significant restenosis (11%) compared with 25 (34%) bare-metal stent patients (P = .02). The mean age of patients requiring reintervention was 69 years (36% male), with the majority having a history of tobacco use (85%), hypertension (75%), and hyperlipidemia (78%). Fourteen reintervention patients (52%) presented with recurrent symptoms, 10 (37%) had asymptomatic restenosis, and 3 (11%) developed intestinal ischemia. Twelve patients (44%) underwent reintervention with balloon angioplasty alone and 15 (56%) underwent repeated stent placement. Of the 15 patients who had repeated stent placement, 7 patients had covered stents placed. The 30-day mortality rate after reintervention for mesenteric stent restenosis was 0%. Postoperative complications occurred in 15% of patients (myocardial infarction, 4%; reversible kidney injury, 4%; and bowel ischemia requiring surgical exploration, 7%). There was no difference in the perioperative morbidity in comparing symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing reintervention. Mean follow-up after mesenteric reintervention was 31 months, with one-third of patients (n = 9) requiring another reintervention because of either recurrence of symptoms or asymptomatic high-grade restenosis. Assisted primary patency at 2 years was 92% after reintervention with balloon angioplasty and 87% for repeated stent placement, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (P = .66). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of MAISR is associated with low mortality and acceptable morbidity. The initial use of covered stents may reduce the need for reintervention.

RESUMEN Introducción: En la actualidad, la diversidad de criterios relacionados con las reintervenciones quirúrgicas constituyen un verdadero problema científico, por cuanto, resulta de gran importancia profundizar en torno a los principales aspectos cognoscitivos relacionados con este tema a fin de elevar la calidad asistencial y, con esa premisa, el índice de supervivencia, sobre todo en la población envejecida como grupo vulnerable. Objetivos: Identificar los factores que permitan reconocer las condiciones modificables que disminuyan las complicaciones y fallecimientos de los enfermos tributarios de un nuevo tratamiento quirúrgico para salir adelante y sobrevivir. Métodos: Revisión digital de publicaciones actualizadas en español e inglés en bases de datos: Google, Redalyc, PubMed, Medline, Lilacs, Elsevier. Resultados: Las complicaciones posquirúrgicas y las que requieren una reintervención en particular son de origen multifactorial. No existe una definición y una clasificación estandarizada de las complicaciones posquirúrgicas para notificarlas. Las más utilizadas son las objetivas de Clavien Dindo y Accordeon, basadas en la estratificación del tratamiento requerido, el riesgo y gravedad. Conclusiones: A pesar de que el gran avance tecnológico actual en los métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos ha permitido que los pacientes con complicaciones posquirúrgicas sean reintervenidos con mayor seguridad, la morbilidad y la mortalidad a causa de estas continúan elevadas(AU)
ABSTRACT Introduction: Nowadays, the diverse criteria related to surgical reinterventions are a real scientific problem since it is very important to delve into the main cognitive aspects associated to this topic in order to raise the quality of medical assistance and thus the survival index in the old population as a vulnerable group. Objectives: To identify the factors that allow recognizing the modifiable conditions that lead to less complications and deaths of patients undergoing a new surgical treatment. Methods: Search of updated publications in English and Spanish made in Goggle, Redalyc, PubMed, Medline, Lilacs and Elsevier databases. Results: The postsurgical complications and those requiring surgical reintervention in particular are of multifactoral origin. There is neither one single definition nor one standardized classification of the postsurgical complications to notify them. The most used objective classifications are Claven Dindo and Accordeon, based on the stratification of the required treatment, the risk and the severity. Conclusions: In spite of the fact that the great technological advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic methods have allowed the reoperation of complicated patients with higher margin of safety, morbidity and mortality caused by such complications are still high(AU)

Despite technological advances, the long-term outcomes of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) are still debatable. Although most endograft failures after EVAR can be corrected with endovascular techniques, open conversion may still be required. A 70-year-old male patient presented at the emergency unit with abdominal pain. Twice, in the third and fourth years after the first repair, a stent graft had been placed over a non-adhesive portion of the stent graft due to type Ia endoleaks. In the most recent admission, a CT scan showed type III endoleak and ruptured aneurysm sac. On this occasion the patient underwent late open conversion. The failure was repaired with total preservation of the main endovascular graft body and interposition of a bifurcated dacron graft. This case demonstrates that lifelong radiographic surveillance should be considered in this subset of patients. Late open conversion following EVAR of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms can be performed safely.
Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos, os desfechos de longo prazo do reparo endovascular de aneurismas da aorta abdominal (endovascular aortic aneurysm repair EVAR) ainda são objeto de debate. Embora a maioria das falhas de endoenxerto após EVAR possam ser corrigidas com técnicas endovasculares, conversão para cirurgia aberta ainda pode ser necessária. Um paciente de 70 anos de idade, do sexo masculino, apresentou-se no serviço de emergência com dor abdominal. Duas vezes, dois e quatro anos após o primeiro reparo, um enxerto foi colocado sobre uma porção não adesiva do stent devido a endoleak tipo Ia. Na mais recente hospitalização, a tomografia computadorizada mostrou endoleak tipo III e ruptura de um saco aneurismático. Nesta ocasião, o paciente foi submetido a conversão tardia para cirurgia aberta. A falha foi tratada com preservação total do corpo principal do enxerto endovascular e interposição de um enxerto tipo Dacron bifurcado. Este caso demonstra que a vigilância radiográfica ao longo de toda a vida deveria ser considerada nesse subgrupo de pacientes. Conversão tardia para cirurgia aberta após EVAR de aneurismas rotos da aorta abdominal pode ser realizada com segurança.

Introducción: la cardiomiotomía de Heller asociada al proceder antirreflujo descrito por Dor constituye el tratamiento de elección en los pacientes con acalasia esofágica; sin embargo, las causas del fracaso del tratamiento aún son controversiales. Objetivo: describir las causas del fracaso de la miotomía de Heller en pacientes operados por acalasia esofágica y la evolución clínica de los pacientes reintervenidos. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo y longitudinal de una serie de pacientes reintervenidos por fracaso de la miotomía de Heller en el Centro Nacional de Cirugía de Mínimo Acceso desde enero de 2010 hasta diciembre de 2016. Resultados: se les realizó miotomía de Heller a 253 pacientes con diagnóstico de acalasia esofágica. De ellos, 7 (2,7 por ciento) fueron reintervenidos por recurrencia de los síntomas, 4 (1,5 por ciento) fueron operados inicialmente en la institución y el resto fueron remitidos de otras instituciones del país. La edad media fue de 41 ± 15 años (rango 20-59). Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron la disfagia posoperatoria y la pérdida de peso (100 por ciento). El tiempo de recurrencia de los síntomas después de la primera operación fue de 6-12 meses en 4 (57 por ciento), de 12 a 18 meses en 1 (16 por ciento) y de 18 a 24 en 2 (33 por ciento) pacientes. Conclusiones: la miotomía incompleta fue la causa principal de reintervención. La remiotomia laparoscópica con o sin fundoplicatura fue la técnica quirúrgica de elección para estos pacientes los cuales tuvieron una evolución clínica excelente o buena en el posoperatorio(AU)
Introduction: Heller's cardiomyotomy associated with the antireflux procedure described by Dor is the treatment of choice in patients with esophageal achalasia. However, the causes of treatment failure are still controversial. Objective: To describe the causes of failure of Heller's myotomy in patients operated for esophageal achalasia and the clinical progress of patients who required another surgery. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study was performed in a series of patients who required another surgery due to failed Heller's myotomy at the National Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery from January 2010 to December 2016. Results: Heller's myotomy was performed in 253 patients diagnosed with esophageal achalasia. Among these patients, 7 (2.7 percent) required another surgery due to the relapse of symptoms, 4 (1.5 percent) were initially operated at the institution, and the rest were referred from other institutions in the country. The average age was 41±15 years (range 20-59). The most frequent symptoms were postoperative dysphagia and weight loss (100 percent). The time of symptoms relapse after the first surgery was 6-12 months in 4 patients (57 percent), 12-18 months in 1 (16 percent) and 18-24 months in 2 (33 percent) patients. Conclusions: Incomplete myotomy was the main cause of reintervention, laparoscopic myotomy with or without fundoplication being the surgical technique of choice for these patients, who had an excellent or good postoperative clinical evolution(AU)
