PRESENT RESEARCH WORK
1. ESOPHAGOSTOMY USING A PUSH TUBE & ITS MANAGEMENT IN OR
In the surgical cases involving esophageal lumen, oral/nasal is the most preferred route. In a case where this route is not advisable or viable, and requires urgent attention and rectification, tracheostomy is proposed. Such cases are a combination of proximal nonviable and distal critical. Examples of proximal nonviable can be a fresh case of botulism, anatomical injuries of the face, and a superiorly localized tumor in the neck. Distal critical is referred to conditions in the esophagus that need urgent surgical correction.
The technique is almost similar to tracheostomy. Esophageal exploration is attainable via an incision in the neck, using conventional surgical tools and a specifically designed Push Tube. It is a temporary implant introduced through the incision, rested in esophageal lumen for a variety of procedures. Due to its elastic inflatable external and rigid internal tube structure, it is easy to introduce and reserve in-vivo. Depending upon the requirement, level of insertion can be adjusted.
Detailed design of Push Tube, materials used, and surgical technique with precautions, prognosis and possible complications are explained in the paper. Manufacturing cost of the implant is very low and affordable if produced on a large scale. Cost to perform technique should vary from surgeon to surgeon. Overall strengths of the operation are its simplicity and wide horizon. Threats are parallel surgical developments. Opportunities include growing incidence of multiple organ morbidities.
Statement of Intent
Idea leading to the hypothesis and experimental development of tracheostomy was an outcome of a surgical emergency. This research does not include post-development mechanical or live testing, due to unavailability of resources and ethical reasons. Hence it must not be applied without prior confirmations. The procedure is highly invasive; therefore the right to approve and perform must be left to an authorized healthcare professional.
The intent of the research is unbiased. It does not incline toward any ethical group or gender. Facts and figures are either taken up from other studies or of my own. It deals with ideas that can be practically developed, on a global scale. The sole intention of this research is advancement of medical/surgical technology. It hopes to open doors that were previously closed for the surgeons. It can change many distressed lives significantly and/or permanently.
From the business point of view, scope of the product technique and implant is tremendous. It does not infringe with any available products in the market. As seen in the market and finance section later (in the paper), the figures confirm that the designed product can provide a wide platform for entrepreneurial brilliance and market excellence. Researchers and manufacturing companies are most welcome to discuss about the contents with me directly.
The paper contains delicate information about health science. Necessary confidentiality is maintained. The topic can be controversial in some areas; therefore it must be dealt with delicately. Furthermore, for any inconvenience caused to anyone during or after the research and mistakes committed (within the paper), I express sincere apologies, and declare no conflict of interests.
