POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Symptomatic retained hardware, status post open ankle fracture dislocation right ankle. OPERATIONS PERFORMED: Removal of deep implant. Incisions right ankle. OPERATION: Patient was taken to the operating room, and after induction of general anesthesia with laryngeal mask intubation, the right lower extremity was prepped and draped in the usual fashion.  A tourniquet was applied prior to prepping and draping for total tourniquet time at 300 mmHg; please refer to the nurse's notes.  A safety time-out was performed, and the patient was properly identified.  After exsanguination, tourniquet was elevated. The previous lateral approach was used.  Skin and subcutaneous tissues were divided.  We elevated peroneal musculature posteriorly off of the fibula exposing the fibular plate.  We removed the screws without difficu...

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus plus the total anomalous pulmonary venous connection was of the mixed type with the left upper and left lower veins and the right lower veins draining to a common vein, which drained directly to the junction of the superior vena cava and the right atrium and the right upper and right middle veins drained directly to the superior vena cava. OPERATION PERFORMED: Repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with connection of the common vein to the back of the left atrium, suture closure of the atrial septal defect, and ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus.  The right upper and middle lobes veins were left draining to the superior vena cava as they were too small to transfer. OPERATION: The patient was brought to the operating suit...

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:  Reducible umbilical hernia. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:  Reducible umbilical hernia. OPERATION PERFORMED:  Umbilical herniorrhaphy with dual mesh repair. OPERATION:  Patient was brought to the operating room, placed in the spine position.  After induction of general anesthesia, the abdomen was prepped and draped in a sterile manner.  A curvilinear incision was made below the umbilicus and carried down to the fascia, at which point the hernia was exposed and excess sac was removed.  The hernia contents were reduced within the peritoneal cavity (preperitoneal fat) and we proceeded to place a piece of dual mesh cut to the appropriate size in an underlay fashion being held in place with multiple interrupted Prolene sutures.  The fascia was closed over the dual mesh with PDS suture and the skin was closed with running subcuticular Monocryl suture.  The patient tolerated the procedure without incident, was extubated...
