Lisis laparoscópica de adhesiones abdominales - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: El cirujano puede realizar lisis laparoscópica de adherencias o adhesiolisis laparoscópica para eliminar el tejido cicatricial de los órganos de su abdomen. Normalmente, las superficies de los órganos abdominales son resbaladizas y se mueven fácilmente una sobre otra mientras uno realiza sus actividades diarias. Si tiene bandas de tejido cicatricial en el abdomen, denominadas adherencias, sus órganos abdominales se pegan entre ellos o la pared abdominal. Estas adherencias pueden causar obstrucciones intestinales al apretar, torcer o sacar los intestinos de su lugar de manera parcial o completa. Lo que impide que los alimentos o las heces puedan moverse a través de ellos. Si es mujer, las adherencias también pueden causar infertilidad, ya que tuercen o tirar de las trompas de Falopio hasta sacarlas de su lugar de manera parcial o completa. Lo que impide que los óvulos fertilizados lleguen al útero, donde un bebé puede crecer y desarrollarse. La causa más común de las adherencias abdominales es la cirugía abdominal. Otras causas pueden ser infección abdominal como peritonitis, afecciones inflamatorias como apendicitis, traumatismo abdominal o radiación. Para comenzar, el cirujano inyecta gas en el abdomen para ampliar la cavidad abdominal, lo que permite ver el interior con mayor facilidad. A continuación, el cirujano hará una pequeña incisión para acceder al interior de su abdomen. Insertará un laparoscopio, que tiene una luz, una cámara y un dispositivo de aumento. El laparoscopio proyecta imágenes sobre una pantalla de televisión para guiar el trabajo del cirujano. Después de examinar la cavidad abdominal, el cirujano hará tres o cuatro pequeñas incisiones en el abdomen a través de las cuales pasan los instrumentos quirúrgicos. Con estos instrumentos el cirujano separará las adherencias para separar los órganos entre sí. Una vez que se separan todas las adherencias, el cirujano retira los instrumentos laparoscópicos, la incisión se cierra con sutura, seguido de pegamento para piel o cinta quirúrgica. En caso de haber complicaciones con el procedimiento laparoscópico, el cirujano debe cambiar a un procedimiento abierto con una incisión más grande.
"Thank you very much for the great work on the medical exhibits. Our trial
resulted in a $16 million verdict for a 9 year old boy with catastrophic
injuries, and the medical illustrations definitely played key role in the
trial."

"Thank you for the splendid medical-legal art work you did for us in the
case of a young girl who was blinded by a bb pellet. As a result of your
graphic illustrations of this tragic injury, we were able to persuade the
insurance company to increase their initial offer of $75,000.00 to
$475,000.00, just short of their policy limits.
We simply wanted you to know how pleased we were with your work which, to
repeat, was of superlative character, and to let you know that we would be
more than willing to serve as a reference in case you ever need one. Many
thanks for an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of a very serious injury
which clearly "catapulted" the insurance company's offer to a "full and
fair" amount to settle this case."

"The Doe Report is a visual feast of medical information for personal injury
lawyers."

"For modern audiences, it is absolutely essential to use medical
demonstrative evidence to convey the severity and extent of physical
injuries to a jury. Your company's high quality illustrations of our
client's discectomy surgery, combined with strong expert testimony, allowed
the jury to fully appreciate the significance of our client's injuries.
We are very pleased with a verdict exceeding $297,000.00, far in excess of
the $20,000.00 initially offered by the defendant. The medical demonstrative
evidence provided by Medical Legal Art was an asset we could not have
afforded to have been without."
Medical Legal Art creates medical demonstrative evidence (medical
illustrations, drawings, pictures, graphics, charts, medical animations,
anatomical models, and interactive presentations) for use during legal
proceedings, including research, demand letters, client conferences,
depositions, arbitrations, mediations, settlement conferences, mock jury
trials and for use in the courtroom. We do not provide legal or medical
advice. If you have legal questions, you should find a lawyer with whom you
can discuss your case issues. If you have medical questions, you should seek the advice of a healthcare provider.
