To minimize a possible influence of a difference in magnification between those radiographs, we have calibrated both postoperative radiographs against the length of the superior endplate as measured on the preoperative radiograph.
Since we could not rule out infectious endocarditis at that time, we chose a biological valve instead of a mechanical valve to minimize the postoperative bleeding risk due to anticoagulation.
Further studies to the bone quality of this potential donor site in order to minimize the postoperative resorption rate are necessary.
In such cases, it is very important to monitor brain functions, and to do appropriate treatment in order to minimize the postoperative complication.
Oral multimodal analgesia for hip and knee arthroplasty is increasingly used as part of enhanced recovery protocols designed to minimize early postoperative pain and to facilitate early discharge, while minimizing undesirable side effects related to single-agent opioid administration.
The aim of the reconstruction in penile injury is to embody an esthetically acceptable shape, to obtain normal or near normal functional outcomes including erection and sensation, and to minimize the postoperative sequel including fistulae or urethral strictures.
Physicians have to keep in mind that the goal of treatment of penile injury is to achieve normal-like appearance, reduce functional damage such as erectile dysfunction and sensory loss, and minimize the postoperative sequel.
Physicians should keep in mind that the goal of treatment of penile injury is to achieve normal-like appearance, reduce functional damage such as erectile dysfunction and sensory loss, and minimize the postoperative sequel.
In this study, there was a case of micro-AVMs located in basal ganglia region and, for surgical operation of this deep micro-AVMs, we adopted neuronavigation with preoperative MRI to locate lesions which could help to minimize the postoperative neurologic damage.
At the Rotterdam Family Cancer Clinic, 35 51% of women carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation opt for either bilateral or contralateral PM. 12, 13 For women who are contemplating this intervention, it is imperative to have reliable data on the outcomes of PM in a well-defined cohort to make a good informed decision and to minimize postoperative feelings of deception.
