    Abstract Iatrogenic arterial injuries are rare but well-recognised complications of spinal surgery. This paper presents a case of an iatrogenic arterial injury during a total en bloc spondylectomy resulting in significant haemorrhage and the patient's haemodynamic instability. The devastating complication was successfully treated with an emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair via a percutaneous popliteal approach, while the patient remained in prone position. The patient had an uneventful recovery with no subsequent arterial injury or pseudoaneurysm to the access vessel.

    Abstract BackgroundRevascularisation of patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia due to arterial lesions in the below the knee segment can be challenging. This study describes a novel technique that allows a complete endovascular reconstruction of the trifurcation (CERT) utilising stents in the below the knee segment when conventional techniques are exhausted, or have failed to deliver an acceptable result, leading to remaining outflow compromise.

    Abstract Background: The stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination (STABILISE) technique for treatment of type B dissection has shown promising clinical results at mid-term. Computational modeling is a way of noninvasively obtaining hemodynamic effects, such as pressure and wall shear stress, leading to a better understanding of potential benefits. Particular areas of interest are (1) the effect of intimal disruption and re-lamination and (2) the effect of the bare metal stent in the visceral aortic segment.
    Methods: Single-center prospective case series. Data from 5 consecutive locally performed cases of STABILISE technique were analyzed. Included cases were type B aortic dissection with or without prior de-branching. The STABILISE procedure had to be performed without 30-day major complications. Preoperative and postoperative imaging data for each patient were transferred to the biomedical engineering team. Each case was reconstructed, meshed, and simulated with computational fluid dynamics using patient-specific data (heart rate, blood pressure, height, and weight). Hemodynamic parameters were then extracted from the simulations.
    Results: In all cases, computational analysis showed for postoperative patients: (1) a drop in pressure difference between lumina and (2) lower wall shear stress effects, compared to their preoperative status. These observations were most pronounced in the visceral aortic segment.
    Conclusions: Computational modeling shows favourable changes in the flow dynamics of type B dissection treated using the STABILISE technique. This may suggest protective effects of this technique for long-term aortic healing and cicatrization.

    Abstract Aim: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common following colorectal operations. Clinical trials suggest that closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (ciNPWT) may reduce SSIs compared to a 'standard of care' group. However, wound management in the standard of care group may vary. The aim of this review was to assess the control arms in trials of ciNPWT for potential confounding variables that could influence the rates of SSI and therefore the trial outcomes.
    Methods: A mapping review of the PubMed database was undertaken in the English language for randomized controlled trials that assessed, in closed surgical wounds, the use of ciNPWT compared to standard of care with SSI as an outcome. Data regarding wound care to assess potential confounding factors that may influence SSI rates were compared between the ciNPWT and standard of care groups. Included were the method of wound closure, control dressing type, frequency of dressing changes and postoperative wound care (washing).
    Results: Twenty-seven trials were included in the mapping review. There was heterogeneity in ciNPWT duration. There was little control in the comparator standard of care groups with a variety of wound closure techniques and different control dressings used. Overall standard of care dressings were changed more frequently than the ciNPWT dressing and there was no control over wound care or washing. No standard for 'standard of care' was apparent.
    Conclusion: In randomized trials assessing the intervention of ciNPWT compared to standard of care there was considerable heterogeneity in the comparator groups and no standard of care was apparent. Heterogeneity in dressing protocols for standard of care groups could introduce potential confounders impacting SSI rates. There is a need to standardize care in ciNPWT trials to assess potential meaningful differences in SSI prevention.

    Abstract Background: Trans-phalangeal and trans-metatarsal amputation, collectively termed 'minor amputations' are important procedures for managing infections of diabetes-related foot ulcers (DFU). Following minor amputation, international guidelines recommend a prolonged course of antibiotics if residual infected bone on intra-operative bone samples are identified, but the quality of the evidence underpinning these guidelines is low. In this study, we examined the concordance of microbiological results from proximal bone cultures compared to results from superficial wound swabs in relation to patient outcomes; with the aim of determining the utility of routinely obtaining marginal bone specimens.
    Methods: Data was retrospectively collected on 144 individuals who underwent minor amputations for infected DFU at a large Australian tertiary hospital. Concordance was identified for patients with both superficial wound swabs and intra-operative bone samples available. Patient outcomes were monitored up to 6 months post-amputation. The primary outcome was complete healing at 6 months; and secondary outcome measures included further surgery and death. Mann Whitney U testing was performed for bivariate analyses of continuous variables, Chi-Squared testing used for categorical variables and a logistic regression was performed with healing as the dependent variable.
    Results: A moderate-high degree of concordance was observed between microbiological samples, with 38/111 (35%) of patients having discordant wound swab and bone sample microbiology. Discordant results were not associated with adverse outcomes (67.2% with concordant results achieved complete healing compared with 68.6% patients with discordant results; P = 0.89). Revascularisation during admission (0.37 [0.13-0.96], P = 0.04) and amputation of the 5th ray (0.45 [0.21-0.94], P = 0.03) were independent risk factors for non-healing.
    Conclusion: There was a moderate-high degree of concordance between superficial wound swab results and intra-operative bone sample microbiology in this patient cohort. Discordance was not associated with adverse outcomes. These results suggest there is little clinical utility in routinely collecting proximal bone as an adjunct to routine wound swabs for culture during minor amputation for an infected DFU.

    Abstract Background: With growing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus, diabetes-related foot disease (DFD) is contributing significantly to disease burden. As more healthcare resources are being dedicated to the management of DFD, service design and delivery is being scrutinised. Through a national survey, this study aimed to investigate the current characteristics of services which treat patients with DFD in Australia.
    Methods: An online survey was distributed to all 195 Australian members of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery investigating aspects of DFD management in each member's institution.
    Results: From the survey, 52 responses were received (26.7%). A multidisciplinary diabetes foot unit (MDFU) was available in more than half of respondent's institutions, most of which were tertiary hospitals. The common components of MDFU were identified as podiatrists, endocrinologists, vascular surgeons and infectious disease physicians. Many respondents identified vascular surgery as being the primary admitting specialty for DFD patients that require hospitalisation (33/52, 63.5%). This finding was consistent even in centres with MDFU clinics. Less than one third of MDFUs had independent admission rights.
    Conclusions: The present study suggests that many tertiary centres in Australia provide their diabetic foot service in a multidisciplinary environment however their composition and function remain heterogeneous. These findings provide an opportunity to evaluate current practice and, to initiate strategies aimed to improve outcomes of patients with DFD.
