Hans et al. describe optimization models for surgery planning: their approach tries to maximize the capacity utilization, minimize the risk of overtime, and minimize the number of canceled admissions [ 22, 31].
Near-complete matches were observed for all items measured before and after model simulations for surgery in all jaw deformity and reconstruction cases.
Since there is no insufflation pressure in open surgery, we, therefore, decided to evaluate the effect of N2O in a mouse model for open surgery before undertaking a trial in human.
26 As cardiac surgery interventions are incorporated in multiple Dutch HSMR models (ie, several diagnosis groups), one model for cardiac surgery was constructed using stepwise backward selection based on Akaike's Information Criterion.
Open image in new window Fig. 1 The mouse model for open surgery.
Herein, we evaluated a cross-linked acellular collagen matrix (ACM), pretreated by the anti-calcification procedure ADAPT® in a sheep model for vaginal surgery.
To create a human information processing model for laparoscopic surgery based on already established literature and primary research to enhance laparoscopic surgical education in this context.
Herein, we used ADAPT®-treated xenografts in a sheep model for transvaginal surgery, studying both the occurrence of GRCs and active and passive biomechanical properties of the vaginal wall.
CONCLUSION: In a lamb model for fetal surgery, gas amniodistention with use of nitrous oxide results in a quicker operation procedure with less bleeding compared with fluid amniodistention, and without adverse side effects on fetomaternal acid-base status.
Further, there are the limitations of the model; even though sheep can be used as a model for vaginal surgery as well as prolapse [18], it remains mostly an asymptomatic quadruped, with clinically different anatomical and pelvic floor loads, hence not an ideal disease model.
