Disease relevance of Reoperation

• All patients who had reoperation had right sinus of Valsalva-to-right ventricle fistulas, and 4 had an additional subarterial VSD [1].
• Three other patients died after the first postoperative month (one of mediastinitis, one at reoperation for a residual VSD, and one of pulmonary hypertension) [2].
• One child has required reoperation for a residual ventricular septal defect; no child has undergone reoperation for supravalvar pulmonary or aortic stenosis [3].
• SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Tube graft replacement of ascending aortic aneurysms requires no coronary anastomoses and preserves the native aortic valve, but aortic insufficiency or aortic root aneurysms may develop requiring reoperation [4].
• Both groups included four patients undergoing repeat surgery for persistent or recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and one patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome [5].

Psychiatry related information on Reoperation

• Late complications included steroid dependency (n = 10), progressive dementia in the absence of recurrent tumor (n = 1), and radiation-induced necrosis (n = 9) requiring reoperation (n = 9) [6].

High impact information on Reoperation

• Eight months after reoperation, plasma concentrations of IGF-I and IGF-II were normal, and high-molecular-weight IGF-II was virtually undetectable [7].
• All three patients undergoing Glenn procedures (superior vena cava-to-RPA anastomosis) required reoperation or died without significant benefit [8].
• Patients refusing reoperation received up to six cycles of EAP [9].
• No patients in the reoperation subgroup died, but three of six COPD patients with deep sternal infection died, and COPD was an independent predictor of overall (early + late) mortality [10].
• Moreover, reoperation for bleeding was 10-fold higher in the clopidogrel group (6.8% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.018) [11].

Chemical compound and disease context of Reoperation

• In a multivariate model sex (female, P =.001), smoking (P =.001), diabetes mellitus (P =.020), and cholesterol levels (P =.011) are risk factors for reoperation [12].
• Seven-year freedom from all valve reoperation was 95.5%, with 11% of the patients receiving warfarin sodium, freedom of the total series from hemorrhage at 7 years was 93.3%, and from major thromboembolism, 95.8% [13].
• Thirteen patients without drainage developed symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, requiring prolonged post-operative parenteral nutrition, and reoperation was required in one patient [14].
• This treatment strategy may be efficacious in patients with recurrent radicular pain after lumbar discectomy that is thought to be secondary to peridural fibrosis on the basis of gadolinium-enhanced MRI studies, and who might benefit from reoperation for nerve root decompression [15].
• In patients with recurrent duodenal ulcer requiring reoperation, the endoscopic Congo red test allows preoperative demonstration of the site of the intact vagal nerve trunks [16].

Biological context of Reoperation

• The principal correlate of a better long-term symptomatic response compared with that in the period before the first operation was a lower serum cholesterol level, whereas the principal correlate of a better symptomatic response compared with that in the period just before the reoperation was the left ventricular ejection fraction [17].
• We describe a case of a true Tenon cyst causing strabismus and an elevated intraocular pressure that was successfully treated by surgical revision [18].
• Postoperative catheterization has shown high residual right ventricular pressure in two patients and an insignificant residual ventricular septal defect in four patients none has required reoperation [19].
• RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the median refraction prior to initial PRK, before reoperation, and after reoperation between the 5 categories 66%, of all reoperated patients achieved an uncorrected visual acuity of 0.5 or better after 12 months [20].
• Patients were excluded from study for prolonged preoperative bleeding time, preoperative warfarin therapy, perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump support, thrombolytic therapy in the week preceding operation, reoperation, and emergency operation [21].

Anatomical context of Reoperation

• Five patients (16.1%) underwent reoperation for aortic valve replacement (n = 3), closure of recurrent fistula (n = 1), and closure of both recurrent fistula and recurrent VSD (n = 1); all had their primary operation before 1976 [1].
• The role of thyroid resection during reoperation for persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism [22].
• The indications for the risks and outcome of reoperation for medically refractory temporal lobe epilepsy have not been well documented [23].
• Three patients with a small right ventricle and an atrioventricular septal defect who underwent biventricular repair and had an atrioventricular valve index of less than 0.50 required early reoperation for right ventricular inadequacy [24].
• Five other patients have required reoperation for branch pulmonary artery stenosis (n = 2), residual airway obstruction resulting from persistent pulmonary artery dilatation (n = 1), closure of VSD (n = 1), and homograft valve insertion for pulmonary incompetence and right ventricular dysfunction (n = 1) [25].

Associations of Reoperation with chemical compounds

• Although the proportion of all bleeding events in the enoxaparin group was significantly greater than in the low-dose heparin group, the rates of major bleeding and reoperation for bleeding were not significantly different [26].
• All but four of the surviving patients with formalin preserved valves have required reoperation because of valve failure [27].
• Because the patient was not a candidate for reoperation, total parenteral hyperalimentation was employed in management [28].
• Urinary cyclic AMP is especially helpful in reoperation for multigland disease; when enough pathologic tissue has been removed, the criteria will be met and the procedure may be terminated with confidence [29].
• In case of GORD relapse, patients allocated to omeprazole were offered ARS and those initially operated on had either a reoperation or were treated with omeprazole [30].

Gene context of Reoperation

• The authors investigated whether any single factor, including the presence of a FGFR3 Pro250Arg mutation, predisposed to an increased transcranial reoperation rate [31].
• Cardiopulmonary bypass of more than 2 hours, longer surgical times, inotropic support, and reoperation were associated with higher MCP-1 levels and lower RANTES levels [32].
• Patients requiring reoperation should undergo noninvasive localization studies and, if equivocal, selective venous sampling for parathyroid hormone [33].
• RESULTS: Two patients had undergone revision joint surgery within the same unit in the year prior to the study due to confirmed MRSA infection [34].
• This case study reviews cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management in a Protein C deficient patient undergoing reoperation for an atrioventricular (AV) valve replacement with the use of aprotinin [35].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Reoperation

• We also analyzed the safety of parathyroidectomy in 426 consecutive patients, including 79 who required reoperation for hyperparathyroidism, specifically looking for complications and the outcome of these procedures [36].
• Thirteen of the 17 patients (76%) undergoing reoperation after simple cholecystectomy for T2 or T3 tumors had residual disease [37].
• OBJECTIVE: The authors evaluate reoperation for recurrent gastroesophageal reflux (GER) after a failed Nissen fundoplication [38].
• Thus, intraoperative two-dimensional contrast echocardiography is a sensitive technique to detect a residual ventricular septal defect, an observation which may warrant reoperation before chest closure [39].
• The other 16 patients treated with linezolid did not need further surgical substitution of prosthesis or surgical joint revision [40].
