Transforming US Surgical Education System Into the Middle East: the AUB Experience Dr. Jamal Joballah, (Jordan)

The Department of Surgery at the American University of Beirut (AUB) was established and chaired in 1867 by Dr George E. Post. It is currently composed of seven divisions: General Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery. The Surgical Residency Training program at AUB is the first residency training program in the Middle East. It was established in 1946 by Dr Joseph J. McDonald and became accredited by the American Board of Surgery during his chairmanship. Up till the Lebanese civil war back in 1978 the surgical residency program at the American University was the only program outside the United States whose graduates were allowed to sit for the American Board of Surgery without having to repeat any of their surgical training in the US. This privilege was lost during the civil war. With the establishment of new rules by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), such status could not be regained. During the past 8 years, major efforts have been carried by the faculty and residents of the Department of Surgery to realign and comply with the ACGME requirements. Currently the Department of Surgery is applying for accreditation by the ACGME International. The challenges of this journey, its benefits and the AUB experience will be presented

Proposal for Improving Surgical Education at RMSBrig. Dr. Khaldoun Haddadin, BSc, MB ChB, FRCS (Eng)Consultant Plastic Reconstructive SurgeonChairman Department of Surgery, King Hussein Medical Center - Jordan

The Royal Medical Services prides itself in its Dedication to Continuous Medical EducationWe have a duty to enable surgeons to achieve and maintain the highest standards of Post-Graduate Training and ultimately of patient care. The apprenticeship model of training lacks structure, focus and accountability. Modern structures of training have adopted a competency based model which moves emphasis away from set examinations towards structured supervised learning and assessment in the workplace with definable endpoints where the resident takes responsibility for his or her own learning.Over the last few months we have started to develop the infrastructure for such a system at RMS including: – Development of website to include each Resident’s Portfolio and eLogbook – Introduction of syllabus during each rotation with work-based assessments of clinical cases and procedures, to be included in the resident’s portfolio– Appointment of Educational and Clinical Supervisors for each resident to mentor, advise and continually supervise training– Introduction of Smart Card for automatically calculating the attendance of scientific activities– Changes in regulations to include discussion of portfolio and logbook within the yearly OSCE exam at RMS– Mandate the residents attend predefined established courses such as BSS, ACLS, ATLS etc, during the Residency Program–Progression to 4th year in residency program dependent on passing part 1 of the Jordanian Board of General SurgeryIt is hoped this pilot scheme will develop and progress to keep in line with the regulations of The Jordanian Medical Council

Assessment of Surgery Residents: Where, When and How? Dr. Courtney Townsend (USA)

Surgical residency has moved from preceptor based to competency based model. This requires periodic examinations both didactic and skills-based application and verification for step-wise increase in responsibility.

The Role of PET/CT in Management of Breast CancerDr. Akram Al-Ibraheem

Positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) has been receiving increasing attention during last two decades as an effective hybrid modality in modern oncology practice. Although FDG PET has been introduced as a powerful imaging modality in different cancers, still its role is not well comprehended for management of breast cancer. The utilization of imaging to stage patients with breast cancer has evolved from a reliance on conventional techniques, such as the bone scan and computed tomography (CT), to more advanced hybrid molecular imaging, such as PET/CT in certain situations. Taking into account the considerable cost of this modality, appropriate usage is critical to optimize healthcare delivery. There is no strong evidence to support the role of FDG PET/CT in characterization of breast masses or screening for breast cancer or for the detection of axillary nodal involvement. However, FDG PET/CT is appropriate in higher-risk populations for definitive whole-body initial staging and for the differentiation of recurrent tumor from post-therapy changes. Literature has shown also value in the restaging of patients with recurrent breast tumors. Tumor biologic features represent an evolving area of interest in defining treatment. In this context, an emergent potential indication for FDG PET is a tool in prognostic stratification and for assessing early response to therapy. In routine surveillance, FDG PET/CT is strongly discouraged for patients with asymptomatic breast cancer who have achieved a complete response. This presentation will discuss the evolving co-relation between molecular imaging and anatomic in breast cancer with focusing on FDG PET/CT.

laparoscopic Rectal Cancer Surgery, Is the Pendulum Swinging Back? Dr. Ayman Agha (Germany)

Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for Right Colon Cancer: Evidence and TechniqueAlthough the impact of complete mesocolic excision (CME) on overall as well as disease-free survival in patients with adenocarcinoma of the right hemicolon is still a matter of debate, CME becomes more and more standard procedure for oncologic right hemicolectomy due to the higher lymph node resection rate. This procedure can be performed safely by the laparoscopic approach. Nevertheless, there are some technical specialities and difficulties that have to be taken into account. Knowing the technical tricks and ‘classical’ pitfalls plays a pivotal role for save and proper surgery. A consistent training program with experienced laparoscopic surgeons may help to avoid or minimize intraoperative as well as postoperative complications during the learning curve.

Update in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Management Dr. Enas Younis (Jordan)

Update in differentiated thyroid cancer management. Epidemiologic studies have shown the prevalence of palpable thyroid nodules to be approximately 5% in women and 1% in men living in iodine-sufficient parts of the world . In contrast, high-resolution ultrasound (US) can detect thyroid nodules in 19–68% of randomly selected individuals with higher frequencies in women and the elderly . The clinical importance of thyroid nodules rests with the need to exclude thyroid cancer, which occurs in 7–15% depending on age, sex, radiation exposure history, family history, and other factors. Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), which includes papillary and follicular cancer, comprises the vast majority (>90%) of all thyroid cancers.The contemporary management of differentiated thyroid cancer equires a multidisciplinary approach involving primary care physicians, endocrinologists, surgeons, pathologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and sometimes radiologists and oncologists for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term surveillance. Despite the fact that most cases of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma have an excellent prognosis, optimal treatment of the disease remains controversial. Perhaps because of the slow growth of the tumors and the infrequency with which patients die of the disease, The optimal extent of surgical resection continues to be debated, Many have questioned whether a lymph node dissection is beneficial to patients, and if so, how extensive such a dissection should be, as does the question of which patients should receive radioactive iodine. Over the last 15–20 years, there have been many advances in the diagnosis and therapy of both thyroid nodules and DTC, but clinicalcontroversy exists in many areas.

Extended Resection for lung Cancer Dr. Alper Toker (Turkey)

Group Florence Nightingale, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Istanbul Locally advanced lung cancer (T3 or T4) has worse prognosis than lower T stage disease. The diagnosis is usually made radiologically. Where there is no evidence of N2 disease, distant metastasis, and the invasion of definitely unresectable structures , the patients’ radiology should be consulted to an experienced surgeon in the field of T4 tumor resection. Patients with limited invasion of the carina, left atrium, superior vena cava, or pulmonary artery may be able to be completely resected. Palliative incomplete resections of T4 disease is not an option in the treatment and are associated with very high morbidity and mortality. Surgical resection remains an important part of the therapy for patients with locally advanced lung cancer. Modern vascular reconstruction techniques and bronchoplastic procedures may allow complete resection of locally advanced tumors with favorable 5-year survival rates and low morbidity and mortality.

Tracheal Resection for Malignant and Benign ConditionsDr. Alper Toker (Turkey)

Group Florence Nightingale, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Istanbul Surgical use of robots has evolved during the last decade. However, the academic experience with robotic lung segmentectomy remains limited.Prospectively recorded clinical data of 205 patients who underwent robotic lung anatomic resections with robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery were retrospectively reviewed. All cases were done using the da Vinci System. A three incision portal technique with a 3 cm utility incision in the posterior 10th to 11th intercostal space or anterior 5th intercostal space was performed. Individual dissection, ligation and division of the hilar structures were performed. Systematic mediastinal lymph node dissection or sampling was performed in patients either with primary or secondary metastatic cancers. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic anatomic resections for malignant and benign lesions appears to be practical, safe, and associated with few complications and short postoperative hospitalization. Lymph node removal also appears oncologically acceptable for early lung cancer patients. Benefits in terms of postoperative pain, respiratory function, and quality of life needs a comparative, prospective series particularly with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Bone Defects Treated by IlizarovDr. Castro Siffarini (Jordan)

We have treated 67 cases in Jordan of bone defects for long bones by internal bone transport using the Ilizarov method by bone transportation with deformity correction or without, with using multifunctional systems or bifocal regimes. The causes of the bone defects were open fractures in 24 segments and infected non-unions in 37, in 6 cases the fractures where non infected non-unions. The average length of the defects was 7.1 cm. There were one-level transports, two-level transports, one-level transport with fibular or ulna transport, and fibular transports. Docking site where registered in 31 cases. Problems segments underwent bone grafting. Acute shortening or docking was performed in 10 cases. Bone union was achieved in all cases. The average time of external fixation was 8 months and the average time to union was 7.1 months. Bone grafting at the docking site was used in 29 cases.

Bone Defects Treated by AllograftDr. Hashem AlQdhah

Segmental long-bone defects are rare injuries, making study of their treatment and outcomes difficult. Long-bone defects are one of the most challenging problems associated with limb reconstruction following high-energy extremity trauma. Without reconstitution of structural integrity, amputation is the likely result.The management of bone defects caused by trauma and nonunion continues to represent a substantial clinical challenge in the management of orthopaedic trauma patients. The current orthopaedic literature on segmental bone loss is limited to case reports, case series, and observational studies, making it difficult to establish sound conclusions on the basis of the levels of evidence provided. A variety of treatment options have been described and reported in the literature. The relative rarity of these injuries means that high level, comparative evidence to guide their management is sparse. As such, treatment decisions must be based on knowledge of the available evidence, contemporary fracture management principles, and consideration of patient and surgeon factors. The treatment of delayed unions, malunions, and nonunions requires restoration of alignment, stable fixation. The treatment of large segmental diaphyseal bone deficiencies presents a formidable challenge. The standard treatment modalities such as cancellous bone grafting, cortical allografts, vascularized bone transfer, or distraction osteogenesis .Bone-graft materials usually have one or more components: an osteoconductive matrix, which supports the ingrowth of new bone; osteoinductive proteins, which support mitogenesis of undifferentiated cells; and osteogenic cells (osteoblasts or osteoblast precursors), which are capable of forming bone in the proper environment.Autologous bone graft, usually harvested from the iliac crest, is an excellent graft material, but its availability may be limited and the procedure to harvest the material is associated with complications. Bone-graft substitutes can either replace autologous bone graft or expand an existing amount of autologous bone graft. Various forms of bone-graft substitutes are available and include allograft bone preparations such as demineralized bone matrix and calcium-based materialsBone allografts in the reconstruction of skeletal defects have a long and somewhat controversial history in orthopedic surgery. Until relatively recently, they were viewed with little enthusiasm, chiefly because of the unpredictability of the end result of the surgical treatment.Extensive preoperative planning, meticulous operative technique, and an extended period of postoperative rehabilitation are required for optimal results.

Bone Defect Treated by Induced Membrane TechniqueDr. Firas Suleiman Al-IbrahimRoyal Medical Services

Treatment of bone defects after trauma or after osteomyelitis in long bones was a challenge to most orthopedic surgeons. many techniques like bone transport by external frames, vascularized bone graft and allogarfts were used but not without complications. Induced membrane technique or what is know as Masquelet technique is a relatively new technique, it is done in two stages the first stage start by aggressive and extensive debridment to all infected bone and tissue or dead bone in cases of trauma and filling the bone defect by Bone Cement for 6-8 weeks, followed by a second stage of replacing the bone cement with bone graft taking care to preserve the membrane induced by the bone cement. here i will describe the technique and discuss few cases done in Royal Medical Services.

Managements of Bone Defect in Chronic Shoulder DislocationDr. Zaid Qarem (Jordan)

Shoulders with recurrent anterior instability often have combined bony defects of the humeral head and glenoid.Combined bony defects will lead to increased instability compared with an isolated defect, and the “critical” size of humeral head and glenoid defects that need to be addressed to restore stability will be smaller when combined rather than isolated.The glenoid track uses both glenoid and humeral head bone loss to predict subsequent risk of humeral head engagement and possible dislocation. The glenoid track shows us that restoring the track to its natural width should be among the surgeon’s first priority in restoring shoulder stability

Challenges to Develop Trauma System in KSA Dr. Saudi Al-Turki (KSA)Challenges in Developing the Trauma System in Saudi Arabia

Trauma is the leading cause of death for persons aged 1 through 44 years. In Saudi Arabia RTA is a major cause of morbidity and mortality at a rate exceeding heart diseases and cancer combined. Planning and implementing a Trauma system in Saudi Arabia is very challenging due to several factors including the lack of accurate and valid injury statistics, the involvement of different sectors concerned with trauma care and many Health services providers including Ministry of Health, Military Hospitals, University Hospitals, National Guard Hospitals, Security Hospitals, and the Private Sector Hospitals. Introducing trauma system to this country will face administrative, political and technical obstacles and it’s a major challenge, however because of the impact on reducing mortality and morbidity at a national level, it makes those challenges worthwhile. Due to the magnitude of trauma, the development and implementation of a National Trauma System have been deemed necessary in order to improve trauma care and outcome. Studies have shown that the in hospital morbidity and mortality can be reduced by 20%-25% for patients treated in Trauma centers. KAMC together with KAIMRC have taken the lead in developing the National Trauma Research Project, part of this project is the development of Trauma Registry, which is mainly an essential tool for trauma research. Research is the core of trauma care system; it provides the foundation for system development and performance improvement. Our goal is to provide the necessary information for Trauma program to direct all resources, conduct quality assurance, engage in injury surveillance, and develop injury prevention and control strategies in Saudi Arabia

The Role of Trauma System in Mass Causality, The Military ExperienceAhmad Uraiqat MD FRCS FACS

A trauma system is a chain of arrangements and preparedness to provide quality response to injured from the site of injury to the appropriate hospital for the full range of care. An effective trauma system may potentially manage mass casualty incidence better. Mass casualty management strategy is closely linked to the existing trauma system.Medical lessons learned from military conflicts led to the development of civilian trauma systems.The aim of a trauma system is to save maximum lives through preparedness to achieve speed and efficiency in providing quality response in traumatic events. It ensures that all injured patients gain access to the appropriate level of care in a timely, coordinated and cost effective manner. Manpower training at every level or cadre of health worker, besides doctors, is needed to develop an efficient trauma system so that every person managing the trauma victim becomes a knowledge worker and can speak in the “same language” and wavelength.

Damage Control Surgery: Indications and How to Do it? Dr. George Abi Saad (Lebanon)

Damage control surgery is one of the major advances in surgical technique in the past 20 years. The principles of damage control contravene most standard surgical teaching practices - that the best operation for a patient is one, definitive procedure.However it is now well recognized, that multiple trauma patients are more likely to die from their intra-operative metabolic failure that from a failure to complete operative repairs. Patients who have Hypothermia T<35, Acidosis pH<7.2 and Coagulopathy PTT>60 with prolonged OR exposure, shock and massive transfusion will need a staged operative strategy. The operating team must undergo a paradigm shift in their ‘mindset’ if the patient is to survive such devastating injuries.Scheme: O Phase IO Rapid termination of operative procedureO Phase IIO Correction of physiologic abnormalities in the ICU O Phase IIIO Definitive surgery

Guidelines, and Update on Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Firas Al-Hammouri MD, Urology ConsultantPrince Hussein Urology Center, King Hussein Medical Center

Bladder cancer (BC) is the eleventh most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. The incidence and Mortality rate vary across countries. The majority of patients with muscle-invasive disease have invasion at first presentation. 20% will progress to muscle-invasive disease after an initial diagnosis of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a highly lethal entity and if left untreated will result in mortality within 2 years of diagnosis in 85% of cases. According to the EAU non muscle invasive urinary bladder cancer guidelines, it is reasonable to propose immediate radical cystectomy to those patients who are at highest risk of progression and in the case of intravesical therapy failure. For patients with clinical T2-T4a, N0, M0 disease, radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection remains the gold standard therapy by which all other treatment modalities should be compared. The extent of lymph node dissection level has not been established to date. Complication of radical cystectomy is directly related to pre-existing co-morbidity, surgical procedure, bowel anastomosis, urinary diversion and the biological age.There are many advantages and disadvantages for administration Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (Cisplatin- based combination) for operable disease and N0M0.Multimodality bladder – preserving treatment could be offered as an alternative in selected, well-informed and compliant patients, especially for whom cystectomy is not an option to preserve the bladder and QoL, without compromising outcome.In my presentation I will summarize the updates in muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Neuroblastoma: Successful Escalation Through Multi Disciplinary Team Dr. Khalil Ghandour (Jordan)Neuroblastoma : Successful treatment de-escalation through Multidisciplinary careHadeel Halalsheh, MD; Taleb Ismael, MD; Khalil Ghandour, MD; Mohammad Albohaisi, RN; Iyad Sultan, MD

Background: Treatment of neuroblastoma is decided on the basis of risk stratification. Treatment of low and intermediate risk (L/IR) neuroblastoma needs judicious use of different modalities. These patients are typically over treated when their care is scattered. We report our experience with emphasis on the role of multidisciplinary care. We also propose an algorithm for management in countries with limited resources.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of children with L/IR NB who presented to KHCC between Jan2003 and Dec2009. Patients’ characteristics, treatment modalities and outcome were analyzed. All cases were discussed in multidisciplinary clinic where a pediatric oncologist, radiologist, pediatric surgeon and a radiation oncologist were present. Results: We identified 40 patients (21 males) with L/IR NB (25 LR). The median age at diagnosis was 9 months (range, 2 to 48). Stage distribution was as follows: stage I, 8; stage II, 14; stage III, 7 and stage IVs, 10 patients. MYCN was amplified in 3 patients with stage I. 26 patients had operative intervention and gross total resection was achieved in 21. Chemotherapy was given to 20 patients (50%) with most (15 patients) receiving < 4 cycles. The 5-year EFS was 92±4.4% and the 5-yaer OS was 98±2.5%. Three patients died; two relapsed 15 and 39 months after diagnosis and died of disease; the third patient died of hemorrhage and renal shut down after surgery. Another patient developed progression of the residual mass 47 months after diagnosis and was lost for follow up. Conclusion: For children with non-high risk neuroblastoma there is a real possibility for further treatment reduction while maintaining the same good outcome as with more intensive and prolonged protocol dictated treatment. Such treatment can be modified only through multidisciplinary team discussion. This pioneering approach has been well received and appreciated. It is expected to form the basis of a formal treatment protocol under the auspices of the Global Neuroblastoma Network group this coming April 2016, to be formally accepted and implemented as the standard of care in countries with limited medical and financial resources.

This study analyzed the evolution of renal function in patients with Congenital Neurogenic bladder after bladder argumentation.Material / Methods: we retrospectively reviewed medical records Of 22 patients males (n=21) and female (n= 1) with neurogenic bladder between (1998 – 2014) at King Hussein Medical Center /Queen Rania hospital for children.10/22 patients underwent urinary bladder augmentation with mitroffanof, using ileal segment for augmentation and using an appendix as a conduit. Data were collected in order to the: age, gender, etiology, associated congenital abnormalities, complications, and post medical and surgical treatment outcome.Results: The mean age of patients at presentation for bladder augmentation was 6.1 years. Bladder augmentation with mitrofanoff was performed in: Patients with posterior urethral valve (59%), myelomeningocele (18%), ectopia Vesica (4.5%).High grade vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) was most frequent seen in patients with PUV. Improvement of renal function and good outcome was seen in 80% of patients who underwent augmentation cystoplasty.Conclusion: Augmentation cystoplasty is widely used in the surgical management of neurogenic bladder. A significant reduction of social and physical impaction of the disease on patients and families and satisfactory improvement of renal function can be achieved with surgical intervention.

laparoscopic and laparoscopic Assisted Pyeloplasty for Repair of Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Abstruction in Children Dr. Najeh Alomari (Jordan)Laparoscopic & Laparoscopic Assisted Pyeloplasty for Repair of Pelvi-ureteric Junction Obstruction in ChildrenNajeh yousef Alomari, MD, FACS, IMRCS/FRACS.FEBPS, JBPS, JBGSHala Falahat RN. Afnan Rasalan RN.Queen Rania

Objectives: Over the past 7 years, the treatment of choice for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction in our team is by laparoscopy & laparoscopic assisted technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate our experience in transperitoneal laparoscopic & laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty in children with pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction. We review the safety, efficacy, outcome parameters of operative time, analgesic requirement, and hospital stay. We present the follow up protocol and complications. Methods: With Institutional Review Board approval, the data of all patients undergoing laparoscopic & laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty at Queen Rania Hospital for Children / King Hussein Medical Center were retrospectively reviewed of prospectively collected data over 7 years (June 2008-2015). Medical records of 180 patients underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic and laparoscopic assisted Anderson Hynes dismembered pyeloplasty in children were reviewed. The indication for pyeloplasty was kidney obstruction with deterioration of renal function on diuretic dynamic renogram (MAG3) scan and ultrasound. Laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty done in 155 patients, 25 patients underwent totally laparoscopic pyeloplasty, reduction of the renal pelvis performed in 140 patients. JJ stent was inserted by laparoscopy and laparoscopic assisted maneuver in 170 patients. Perianastomotic drain was placed for 2 days in 15 patients. Bladder catheter was inserted in all patients for 24-48 hours. Follow-up included clinical assessment, functional assessment by ultrasound and (MAG3) scan after removing the JJ stent at 2 and 6 months.Results: The patients included 80 females and 100 males; the mean age was 6,4 years (range 2 months -12 years). Right sided pyeloplasty N=77, left sided pyeloplasty N=103. An aberrant crossing vessel N=18, bilateral pyeloplasty N=8, bilateral pyeloplasty for crossing vessels N=4. Re-do pyeloplasty by laparoscopy N=6. Mean operating time for the totally laparoscopic pyeloplasty was 200 min (range 120-400 minutes), while for the laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty was 70 minutes (range 50-95 minutes), P value (<0.05). 30 patients had other laparoscopic surgery with the pyeloplasty simultaneously. Mean hospital stay range from 2 to 5 days. There were no peri-operative complications, no conversion to open pyeloplasty. No blood transfusion required no anastomotic leak and no mortalities. 165 patients showed improvement of renal function after removal of JJ stent by ultrasound and isotope scan, 6 patients underwent once balloon dilation for anastomotic stenosis 3 months post-operatively.

Conclusion: Transperitoneal laparoscopic and laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty in children are feasible, effective and safe techniques with minimal complications and gives excellent long-term cosmetic and functional results. The hospital stay and convalescence are short and hence rapid return to normal activity is expected with less analgesia requirements however, the laparoscopic pyeloplasty is more difficult and the operative time remains longer than open pyeloplasty, while the laparoscopic assisted pyeloplasty operative time is even less than the open procedure. These procedures should be standardized and practiced in pediatric surgical units under the supervision of expert pediatric laparoscopic surgeons with high experience in pediatric urology to achieve the best outcome and learning curve.

Re Do Surgery in Hirschsprung DiseaseEssam A Elhalaby, MD

Department of pediatric surgery, faculty of medicine, Tanta universityDespite the remarkable progress in the management of Hirschsprung’s disease (HD), a significant percentage of patients may not do well after their initial definitive operations, and some may even require redo surgery. The decision of redo surgery depends on clinical assessment, anatomical evaluation using contrast enema and other imaging studies, redo tissue diagnosis and sometimes anorectal motility studies.This presentation will highlight the frequent causes for failure of initial surgery, and describe our current protocol for management and outcome after implementing this protocol to this group of patients.Based on our cumulative experience during the past three decades, we believe that:1- in many cases, redo surgery can relieve the long suffering of many of patients with unfavorable functional results after initial surgery2- The outcome of redo surgery for HD in terms of continence and stooling frequency depends on the magnitude of sphincteric injury, which might have occurred during initial surgery.3- Redo endorectal pull-through is both feasible and safe whenever an adequate rectal cuff exits.4- Repeated myectomy should be condemned to avoid repeated injury to sphincteric complex with high risk of developing anorectal incontinence.

Surgery and Femininity.. True and False ConceptsDr. Heba G. Al-Abbadi

Despite the great social revolution that has opened most of the closed communities to the rest of world, Middle East societies remain of the most conservative and closed communities. A complex network of religious believes, customs, traditions, impact of wars, poverty, lack of awareness despite education, and a low national self-esteem, has contributed to suffering of women on a daily basis by the name of conservativeness. From early childhood girls are being brought up as being inferior to their male counterparts. For most of families, at a certain period of time, education was exclusive to boys. Recently, a gross change has been noticed by having the number of girls joining universities exceeding that of boys. Being hard workers, women have managed to prove themselves as leaders in many academic and scientific branches. However; women still suffer in every time they choose to go into a branch of life that is used to be exclusive for men.Surgery is a branch of medicine that is hard to both sexes. Only those with a unique combination of high intelligence, tolerance, sharp decision making and excellent communication skills can become successful surgeons and withstand the stress of daily surgical life. Though expanding slowly, the number of female surgeons in Jordan is still low. Continuous discouragement and a big halo of misconceptions surrounding the issue are the main two reasons. As a neighbor country still believes that women are unable to drive a car, Jordanians still see women unable to handle surgery!Femininity is the most precious value every woman is afraid to lose when joining surgery, an idea implanted by the disappointing community of men and women, to add to the obstacles female surgeon are already encountering. After five hard years in the surgical career, I have concluded that surgery has added to my personality much of strength, empathy, wisdom and tolerance. It has never detracted of my dignity, internal beauty or femininity.In this brief presentation I will review some of the critical stations in my career as a female surgeon and go through some of the common wrong concepts trying to visualize the true face of reality.

The event lasted for a couple of hours and was followed by complete recovery. He reported a similar episode six months prior to his hospitalisation that was brief and “ managed at home” .He was in normal sinus rhythm and had a normal carotid scan.Brain CT showed a small old infarct in his right temporal area.Cardiac echo showed a mass on the aortic cusps highly suggestive of papillary Fibroelastoma. Intraoperative findings, showed a small mass, later on proven by histopathology to be a Fibroelastoma, on the ventricular side of the non-coronary aortic cusp . The presentation is very unusual for a Fibroelastoma to be on the ventricular side of the non-coronary aortic cusp, causing recurrent TIA’s .Research showed a similar case to be reported in the UK, but associated with left sided chest pains)

Surgical Aspects in the Treatment of Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Dr. Salah Eldien Altarabsheh, (Jordan)

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is as an inherited autosomal dominant disorder and an important cause for heart failure. Symptomatology ranges from totally asymptomatic status to sudden cardiac death. Mechanisms proposed are obstruction at the left ventricular outflow tract, functional mitral valve regurgitation, diastolic ventricular dysfunction, and recurrent ventricular arrhythmias. Left ventricular basal septal myectomy is considered by many to be the gold standard therapy for symptomatic patients. There are many surgical considerations that should be considered during surgery such as: preserving the aortic and mitral valves, avoiding the conduction bundle and adequacy of relieving the left ventricular outflow obstructionProper pre-operative and intra-operative echocardiographic assessment is highly crucial for the surgeon in particular.

Open Rhinoplasty Approach Dr. Hossam Foda (Egypt)Author: Hossam M.T. Foda, M.DProfessor, Head of Facial Plastic SurgeryDepartment of Otolaryngology, Alexandria Medical School, Egypt.

The Middle Eastern nose presents a unique challenge for the rhinoplastic surgeon. Most of the surgeons refrain of using external approach out of the fear of the unpredictable healing of the thick heavy nasal skin. In over 5000 external rhinoplasties, done by the author, no cases of wound dehiscence, infection, or keloid formation were encountered. Subjectively, only 1.5% found the scar unacceptable, while objectively 6.5% showed some degrees of scar widening, depression, hyperpigmentation. The two-layered closure of the incision significantly reduced the incidence of wide depressed columellar scars. Additionally, the thick heavy skin envelop requires increasing the strength and support of the cartilaginous framework to avoid the common postoperative complications of pollybeak deformity and loss of tip projection, rotation, and definition.References:

Tip Suturing Techniques Dr. Hossam Foda (Egypt)

The droopy tip is a common nasal deformity in which the tip is inferiorly rotated.500 consecutive rhinoplasty cases were studied to assess the incidence and causes of the droopy tip deformity, and to evaluate the role of three alar cartilage modifying techniques, lateral crural steal (LCS), lateral crural overlay (LCO), and tongue-in-groove (TIG), in correcting such deformity. The external rhinoplasty approach was used in all cases. Only one of the three alar cartilage modifying techniques was used in each case and the degree of tip rotation and projection were measured both pre- and postoperatively. The incidence of droopy tip was 72% and the use of an alar cartilage modifying technique was required in 85% of these cases in order to achieve the desired degree of rotation. The main causes for the droopy tip included; inferiorly oriented alar cartilages (85%), overdeveloped scrolls of upper lateral cartilages (73%), high anterior septal angle (65%), and thick skin of the nasal lobule (56%). The LCS increased nasal tip rotation and projection, the LCO increased tip rotation and decreased tip projection, and TIG increased tip rotation without significantly changing the amount of projection. The

LCO resulted in the highest degrees of rotation, followed by the LCS, and finally the TIG technique. According to our results; the LCS is best indicated in cases with droopy underprojected nasal tip, the LCO in cases of droopy overprojected nasal tip, and the TIG in cases where the droopy nasal tip is associated with an adequate amount of projection.References:-Foda HMT: External Rhinoplasty: A critical analysis of 500 cases.

The Deviated NoseDr. Hossam Foda (Egypt)

The deviated nose presents an esthetic as well as a functional problem that can be difficult to treat. The deviated nasal septum is a major contributing factor in the crooked nose deformity; accordingly, a successful correction of the deviated nose usually requires a combined septorhinoplastic procedure. The external approach, beside giving a panoramic view of the external bonycartilaginous framework of the nose, it also allows direct visualization of the dorsal and caudal septum. This direct exposure allows for accurate assessment of the often complex pathologic condition thus greatly enhancing the possibility of a successful outcome. This study was conducted on 800 patients seeking rhinoplasty to correct external nasal deviations; 71 percent of them suffered of variable degrees of nasal obstruction. Septal surgery was necessary in 736 (92%) patients, not only to improve breathing but to achieve a straight symmetric external nose as well. A graduated surgical approach was adopted to allow correction of the dorsal and caudal deviations of the nasal septum without weakening its structural support to the nasal dorsum or nasal tip. The approach depended on full mobilization of deviated cartilage, followed by straightening of the cartilage and its fixation in the corrected position by using

Revision RhinoplastyDr. Hossam Foda (Egypt)

Operating on a patient who had multiple previous rhinoplasties represents the ultimate challenge for any rhinoplastic surgeon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and aesthetic problems involving the tip lobule in revision rhinoplasty.The study included a retrospective review of 1000 cases presenting for revision rhinoplasty. On analysis of patients’ problems; Functionally; 68% suffered of nasal obstruction which was mainly due to septal deviations and nasal valve problems. Aesthetically; commonest deformities of the upper two-thirds of the nose included; pollybeak (64%), dorsal irregularities (54%), dorsal saddle (44%), and open roof deformity (42%), while the deformities of lower third included; depressed tip (68%), tip contour irregularities (60%), and overrotated tip (42%). Nasal grafting was necessary in all cases; usually more than one type of graft was used in each case. Postoperatively; 79% of the patients, with preoperative nasal obstruction, reported improved breathing, 82% were satisfied with their aesthetic result, and only 18% requested further revision to correct minor deformities.Methods of prevention and treatment of such deformities will be thoroughly discussedRefrences:-Foda HMT: The Caudal Septum Replacement Graft.

The total number of patients with renal failure increase annually by 15-20%. The mortality rate from renal failure is about 5-10% Every patient cost about 11 thousands JD every year (without counting the drugs cost, shunt procedures and admission to hospital). Renal Transplantation cost about 17 thousand JD in the first year, this cost drop to 6 thousand JD in the second year then it become about three to five thousands yearly after that. The immediate success rate of renal transplantation is 90% from live donors and 80% from cadavers.Cadaveric organ transplantation was performed only in 6 donors during the last 10 years in Jordan comparing to 210 living donor liver transplantation

In Jordan law for cornea donation issuedin the year 1956. Human organ transplantation started in the year 1972. Legislationfor organ donation and transplantation from both living and deceased donor established in the year 1977. Country has good infrastructures and well trained human recourses wherefirst in the region heart transplant performed in 1985, there is also a fair governmental financial support to the transplantation services. Nevertheless transplantation activity depending mainly on the living donation (99%) and the available organs cover only about (5%) of the needs, so activation and build up a deceased donor transplantation program became a national task.In year 2010thegovernment established a new institution which had been activated in 2012 to take over all the transplantation activity in the country. The initial few people and the leader (champions) who agreed to start working on transplantation program experienced much excitement, airiness, frustration, absolute depression and continuous rejection. Resistance came from many quarters and was prevalent in large organizations and it was

The champions did not gave up and demonstrated leadingship roll which supported by high rank officials and they continue creating favorable social, legal, cultural environments for the success of a transplant program, building national, regional and international relationships to help in acquiring and training all the personal who are responsible for providing crucial support to the program, involving and using the mass media continuously.Finally the outline of the program was drawn and the instructions, general rules and guidelines were issued and put together in a Directory (Manual) for official use in April 2015.After that there was a report of eight cases of potential brain death donors, with conformation of the diagnosis in six of them, and in one case there was an organs retrieval and allocation according to the adopted rules of priorityin the national waiting list and this was the first case in the country where a donated organ transferred from donating hospital to anotherone. In addition the numberof transplant operations increased by 26% in 2015 of that in 2014. A major challenge was also the acceptance of the new regulations by major institutions and the pressure they put to impose themselves as a leading forces with the attempt of alienation theothers.But with education, practice and leadership the barriers could be overcome.

Islet Cell Transplantation Dr. Ali Dabous (Jordan)

Despite modern medical breakthroughs, diabetes mellitus is a worldwide leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Definitive surgical treatment of diabetes mellitus was established with the advent and refinement of clinical pancreas transplantation in the 1960s. During the following decades, critical discoveries involving islet isolation and engraftment took place.Islet transplantation is a well-established therapeutic treatment for a subset of patients with complicated type I diabetes mellitus. Prior to the Edmonton Protocol, only 9% of the 267 islet transplant recipients since 1999 were insulin independent for 1 year. In 2000, the Edmonton group reported the achievement of insulin independence in seven consecutive patients, which in a collaborative team effort propagated expansion of clinical islet transplan¬tation centers worldwide in an effort to ameliorate the consequences of this disease. To date, clinical islet transplantation

has established improved success with insulin independence rates up to 5 years post-transplant with minimal complications. In spite of marked clinical success, donor availability and selection, engraftment, and side effects of immunosuppression remain as existing obstacles to be addressed to further improve this therapy. With ongoing experimental and clini¬cal studies, islet transplantation continues to be an exciting and attractive therapy to treat type I diabetes mellitus with the prospect of shifting from a treatment for some to a cure for all.In the other hand. Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease causing irreversible structural damage to the pancreatic parenchyma. In severe cases, the endocrine function is also impaired. Surgical resection of the pancreas is considered the final option in the treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Extensive pancreatic resection of >70% of the pancreas may cause diabetes. The addition of an islet autotransplant offers the possibility of postoperative glucose control.In this presentation I will review the recent advances and future challenges of Islet cells transplantation.

Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Aortic Aneurysms: Where is the Evidence? Dr. Jamal Hoballah (Lebanon)

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms RAAA continue to be among the most challenging surgical emergencies. During the last three decades, the perioperative mortality of open elective AAA replacement has dropped to 3-5%. However, the mortality rates of emergency open repair of RAAA remained very high ranging from 40-50%, despite the advances in modern vascular surgery. With the introduction of endovascular AAA repair (EVAR) and its utilization in treating RAAA, lower mortality rates are being reported. It is unclear however whether the lower mortality rates are due to a selection bias or the new technology. The available evidence will be presented.

thromboembolectomy is performed using a blind technique. The introduction of endovascular technology into the armamentarium of the vascular surgeon, has allowed the incorporation of fluoroscopy and endovascular skills to guide embolectomy and achieve better and safer thrombus removal. The value and technical aspect of fluoroscopic guided embolectomy will be described.

laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Exposing the Inner layer of the Subserosal (SS-Inner) layer of the Gallbladder Can Fill the Gap of the Shortness of the Critical View of Safety. Dr. Goro Honda (Japan)Goro Honda, MD, PhD, FACSDept. of Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Cancer and Infectious Diseases Center Komagome Hospital, Tokyo, Japan

During laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), misidentification of the cystic duct, which causes major bile duct injuries, can result from wrong or incomplete dissection of Calot’s triangle. Therefore, the critical view of

safety (CVS) has been accepted as a safe method for gaining a sufficient view of Calot’s triangle before transecting the cystic duct. However, bile duct injury can occur by a wrong approach to a CVS, even in cases without aberrant anatomy of the bile duct. Additionally, in cases of badly inflamed gallbladders, it is often hard to achieve a CVS, because Calot’s triangle is often solid and cannot be expanded. As for landmarks to initiate LC safely, only superficial structures, for example, Rouviére’s sulcus, the base of segment 4, and the sentinel node, have been proposed in previous reports. However, likening LC to mountain climbing, with only these proposals including CVS, it is a kind of guidebook that describes only mountain views from the base (i.e. superficial structures) and near the top (i.e. CVS), but does not describe any route of the climb.We have proposed a standardized procedure which proceed identifying a particular layer of the gallbladder wall as a landmark. Histologically, the subserosal (SS) layer of the gallbladder wall can be divided into an inner (SS-Inner) layer, which consists of vasculature and abundant fibrous tissue, and an outer (SS-Outer) layer, which consists of fat tissue and fibrous tissue. By cutting the serosa and then ablating most of the fat tissue, namely, the SS-Outer layer, around the gallbladder, the SS-Inner layer, the surface of which is shiny and through which a reticulated vascular structure can be seen, is exposed. By this approach, other structures around the gallbladder is not exposed, so that it can be avoided injuring them.Furthermore, because we noticed most of aberrant hepatic ducts is a right posterior hepatic duct that ran from the right posterior section linearly toward the common hepatic ducts, common bile duct, cystic duct or cystic body, passing on the caudal side of the right portal vein in Rouviére’s sulcus, we have investigated whether such hepatic duct existed or not in preoperative images in every cases.We have safely performed LC, using our standardized preoperative evaluation and operative procedure, for many cases with cholecystitis with highly inflamed gallbladders. The standardized procedure, in which gallbladder dissection proceeds exposing the SS-Inner layer in the

gallbladder wall as a route of the climb, should become the universal standard of LC.

laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for Right Colon Cancer: Evidence and TechniqueDr. Ayman Agha (Germany)

Although the impact of complete mesocolic excision (CME) on overall as well as disease-free survival in patients with adenocarcinoma of the right hemicolon is still a matter of debate, CME becomes more and more standard procedure for oncologic right hemicolectomy due to the higher lymph node resection rate. This procedure can be performed safely by the laparoscopic approach. Nevertheless, there are some technical specialities and difficulties that have to be taken into account. Knowing the technical tricks and ‘classical’ pitfalls plays a pivotal role for save and proper surgery. A consistent training program with experienced laparoscopic surgeons may help to avoid or minimize intraoperative as well as postoperative complications during the learning curve.

laparoscopic Transabdominal lateral Adrenalectomy;Wa’el AlNa’ssan, MD, FACS. Consultant General, Laparoscopic and Bariatric Surgeon Head of Laparoscopic and Bariatric Unit.King Hussein Medical Center

Objective: To evaluate our experience in laparoscopic transabdominal lateral Adrenalectomy for functioning and nonfunctioning tumors regarding, tumor size, operative time, blood loss, conversion rate, hospital stay, and complications.Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at King Hussein Medical Center between Jan 2010 and Jan 2016. Transabdominal lateral Adrenalectomy was done for 103 patients by the same team. Time of the procedure from starting the first incision tell closure of the last incision was recorded. The blood loss was measured. Average hospital stay was recorded. Complications during surgery and during hospitalization were identified and managed.Results: Patients were 40 males and 63 females, average size of the tumors were (4.5 cm) between (1.5-6 cm), average operative time was (65 min) between (40 – 100 min), conversion rate was zero, estimated blood loss was (40 ml), between ( 10-100 ml), average hospital stay was (1.7days) between ( 1-2 days), and the main complications during surgery were bleeding, and postoperatively were atelectasis and pain mainly shoulder pain. Conclusion: Laparoscopic transabdominal lateral Adrenalectomy

Algorithm of Management of leak after Sleeve GastrectomyAhmad Bashir, MD, FACS, FASMBS

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most frequent bariatric procedure performed worldwide. Leak after LSG is one of the most feared complications by surgeons performing this procedure. This talk presents a literature review of the different methods of managing such a complication. It will also include a combined algorithm of best methods according to nature of leak.

laparoscopic Splenectomy for Massive Splenomegally: Technical DetailsDr. Osama Hamed(Jordan)Video Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Massive Splenomegaly in Hematology/Oncology Patients: Technical DetailsOsama H. Hamed, MD, FACSDepartment of Surgery, Arab Medical Center

Background: Laparoscopic Splenectomy was introduced in early 1990’s, it has been associated with lower morbidity and mortality compared to open splenectomy. Despite the wide acceptance for this approach for normal size spleen, laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly represents a real challenge for the surgical team. In this video we describe our experience with laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly (>20cm in craniocudal measurement) and provide some technical details of the procedure. Methods: 9 patients with massive splenomegaly Secondary to Hematology/Oncology disorders underwent Laparoscopic splenectomy at King Hussein Cancer Center over the last 3 years.Results: 4 patient had splenic marginal zone lymphoma, 2 patients had hairy cell leukemia and 3 patients had lymphoma with hypersplenism.. We had conversion in 1 patient due to sever adhesions in the left Upper quadrant from previous radiation and splenic artery embolization. Three patients had post op complications ( one left portal vein thrombosis, one CNC hemorrhage due to sever thrombocytopenia and one patient had post op heart attack and pneumonia).Conclusions: Laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly in hematology/oncology patients is technically challenging, and carries a significant morbidity due to late referral. In this video we

laparoscopic Adrenalectomy for large Tumors: Trans-or Retroperitoneal? Dr. Ayman Agha (Germany)Technical Aspects of Laparoscopic Total Mesocolic Excision for Rectal Cancer

Total mesorectal excision (TME) has shown to reduce the risk of local recurrence in patients with rectal cancer. Although the overall survival rate is not altered the surgical quality of TME defined by the MERCURY score plays a pivotal role regarding the local recurrence rate and therefore quality of life. Several studies could show that laparoscopic rectal resection is not inferior to the open approach regarding the quality of surgery and the clinical and oncological outcome. Thus, laparoscopic rectal resection may become the new standard of care. Nervertheless, there is a significant learning curve to obtain a high quality of surgical outcome and especially of TME. The technical differences and specialities in comparison to the open approach have to be considered for the nerve sparing laparoscopic TME with proper resection margins and intact mesorectal plane.

applied to borderline malignant lesion (IPMN, MCN, PNTE, etc.) and non-invasive ampulla or lower bile duct carcinoma became laparoscopically available under national insurance, as well as distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal carcinoma, so called Radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS). These applications of national insurance are reasonable, because laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy takes long time even without extended lymphadenectomy, while laparoscopic RAMPS does not take so long time and makes meticulous surgery available in laparoscopic magnified view. Our standardized procedures for laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer are presented.

Cystic Neoplasms of the Pancreas, the RMS Experience Dr. Ashraf Faouri (Jordan)Pancreatic cystic lesions: Pitfalls in diagnosis and management.Ashraf F. Al-Faouri, MD, MRCS, FACSSenior Specialist in General & Hepatobiliopancreatic surgery and Liver Transplantation, King Hussein Medical Center, Amman, Jordan

Background: Pancreatic cystic lesions are commonly found on cross-sectional imaging with an estimated incidence of 1-2.4/100 individuals/ year. While most of these lesions are asymptomatic, benign or non-neoplastic pseudocysts, the minority which represents true neoplastic cysts impose diagnostic and management challenge.Aim: to present the clinical, radiological and pathological data of 31 patients with pancreatic cystic lesions managed at King Hussein Medical Center over 15 years period. We will also emphasize pitfalls in diagnosis and management. Material & Method: Our pathology department database was searched for pancreatic cystic lesion, pancreatic neoplasm, pancreatic pseudocyst, mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, pseudopapillary tumor and IPMN. The medical files and the PACS (picture archiving and communication system) were reviewed. 31 patients with definite diagnosis of pancreatic cystic neoplasms and pseudocysts were identified for analysis. Results: 31 patients were included in the final analysis with 18 males. The mean age was 45.6±17.7 (range 15-78). Pancreatic pseudocysts were the most common pathology occurring in 15 patients (48.4%). Five patients (16.1%) had mucinous cystic neoplasms, 3 of them were malignant. Three patients had IPMN (9.7%) with invasive carcinoma found in 2 of them. Two patients had serous cystadenoma and two had solid pseudopapillary tumors (6.5% each). The remaining 4 patients (12.9%) had benign simple epithelial cyst. We have found major pitfalls in management of some of these patients that will be presented in the conference.

Conclusion: the rarity of cystic pancreatic neoplasms and the wide differential diagnosis impose difficulty in diagnosis and management. These patients should be referred to experienced pancreatic surgeons with special interest in their management.

Fertility Preservation in Gynecological Malignancy Patients Dr. Kamil Fram (Jordan)

Rupture Uterus in Pregnancy and labor Dr. Mazen El-Zibdeh (Jordan)Senior consultant Ob.Gyn Gardens Hospital Amman

Rupture uterus in pregnancy is rare and often with high catastrophic complications and high fetal and maternal morbidity. Several factors are well recognized to increase the risk of rupture. Initial significant symptoms are non specific and sometimes delay the definitive therapy. Risk factors are well recognized and in modern obstetric practice the incidence of uterine rupture is low .Normal un scared uterus is least susceptible to rupture but grand multiparity , neglected labor malpresentation , instrumental delivery and the uterotonics over stimulation are among the predisposing factors.As primary cesarean section rates are increasing world wide the risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies is increasing. Women undergoing trial of labor have two to three times risk of uterine rupture than in women who have elective cesarean section. The effect of previous c .section on the rate of subsequent pregnancy related rupture will be discussed. In modern practice rupture uterus should be prevented by minimizing the risk factors; mainly uterine scar and increasing inter delivery interval, and improving labor facilities .Delivery after previous c section or the scared uterus should be in a tertiary centers where prompt initiation of management can be done successfully.

Planas Mammary Reduction Technique Dr. Gabriel Planas (Spain)

PLANAS REDUCTION MAMMOPLASTYAesthetic Plastic Surgery Nº 4, 1988.This technique is a modification of Strömbeck’s technique, based in a superior pedicle to transport the nipple-areola complex to its new position, and an inferior glandular-fat one to fill the breast.The marking of the patient, should be always measured in a standing up position, where the length of the submammary fold incision is the key for the rest of the measurements.We first deepitelize the area around the areola, with the Schwartzman’s maneuver, keel incision as recommended by Dr. Pitanguy; then, the upper flap is widely undermined to the level of the second rib, deepitelization of the inferior pedicle, the nipple-areola complex is mobilized, the inferior pedicle is reduced to obtain the desired volume and fixed to the fascia of major pectoral muscle, at the level of the second rib.No drains are used, and a light compression is placed overnight.

In this presentation we evaluate our different ways to approach mastopexy with implants, depending on the type of ptosis the patient has.Grade I or pseudoptosis, where the NAC is over the submammary fold.Grade II, where the NAC is at the level of the submammary fold.Grade III, where NAC is below the submammary fold, between 23 and 28 cm of the sternal notch.Grade IV, where the NAC is lower than 28 cm of the sternal notch. In Grade I, we will use only implants, in grade II, a periareolar pexy plus implants, in grade III a vertical pexy and implants are needed; and in cases of grade IV we will need an inverted T elevation with implants.

• INFO JORDAN

Jordan is a land steeped in history. It has been home to some of mankind’s earliest settlements and villages, and relics of many of the world’s great civilizations can still be seen today. As the crossroads of the Middle East, the

lands of Jordan and Palestine have served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Thus, since the dawn of civilization, Jordan’s geography has given it an important role to play as a conduit for trade and communications, connecting east and west, north and south. Jordan continues to play this role today. Take an interactive tour through Jordan’s history starting from the Paleolithic Era, right up to modern day with our Interactive Historical Timeline.Jordan is located in the Middle East and borders Syria, Saudi Arabia, the Red Sea, Palestine, and Iraq. Covering some 89,342 sq.km, it is located at 31 00 N, 36 00 E.
