MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

OSU Surgeon first to perform procedure

A surgical team at the Ohio State University Medical Center became one ofthe first in the nation to remove a patient’s gall bladder transvaginally. Theadvanced surgery technique decreases pain, reduces the risk of infection or asubsequent hernia, and leaves no scar.

The procedure was performed on a 42-year-old Columbus woman and is partof a pilot study leading up to the first human multi-center trial in the worldcomparing laparoscopic and transvaginal natural orifice surgery.

In 2006, Ohio State surgeons were among the first in the country to use theincisionless technology for diagnosing abdominal malignancies and cancerstaging through the mouth. The technique allowed a flexible endoscopy tubeencasing a fiber-optic camera and remote-controlled surgical cutting tool topierce the stomach wall for performing delicate surgical procedures. Thisparticular procedure has been performed in more than 120 patients at OhioState.

Dr. Vimal Narula, the surgeon who performed the first transvaginal gallbladderremoval at Ohio State, says the successful procedure shows the potential ofnatural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). “OSU MedicalCenter is one of the few programs in the country with a leading role in a novelstudy to examine the use of natural orifice surgery as another emergingtechnology within the field of minimally invasive therapy,” said Narula. Thetrial is sponsored by the Natural Orifice Surgery Consortium for Assessmentand Research (NOSCAR).

Advantages to natural orifice surgery include a decreased risk of infectionand less pain, according to Narula. “Because the incision used to extract thegallbladder is located inside the body where there are no nerve endings, thereis no sensation of pain,” said Narula. “The only discomfort may come from asmall incision at the naval where a small endoscopic camera is inserted toprovide visibility to the surgeon while he uses the laparoscopic instruments.”

Other advantages to the surgery are that it reduces the risk of a hernia laterand patients have no visible scarring. Most patients can go home the sameday or the following morning.

Patients selected for the pilot procedure are carefully chosen and must beotherwise healthy and height-weight proportionate.

COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPLANT CENTER

Higgins shares vision at town meeting

Dr. Robert S. D. Higgins, the John H. and Mildred C. Lumley Medical ResearchChair, professor of surgery; director, Comprehensive Transplant Center; andchief, Division of Cardiac Surgery, shared his vision for the future of OhioState’s Comprehensive Transplant Center at a recent town meeting held at theOSU Medical Center. He was introduced by Dr. Steven G. Gabbe, senior vicepresident for health sciences and CEO of the OSU Medical Center. During hisintroduction Dr. Gabbe stressed the importance of the transplant center bymentioning a patient who has survived more than 19 years post transplantand the impact that type of success has on the families of our community.

Dr. Higgins explained that the many steps of his career led him to this positionat OSU. Prior to his current appointment he was chair of the Department ofCardiovascular-Thoracic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center inChicago, Illinois. Although happy at Rush, Dr. Higgins said that he was awareof the national reputation of OSU’s transplant program and of the Ross HeartHospital. “The position at OSU seems like a good fit.” He sees an opportunityfor growth and development, saying that OSU’s transplant program has thepotential to go from a nationally recognized program to a “top 10” program.Quoting OSU president Dr. E. Gordon Gee, Higgins’ goal is to take thetransplant program “from excellence to eminence”.

Dr. Higgins listed his priorities as: 1.) reactivating the lung transplant programat OSU, and 2.) achieving critical success factors in multi-organtransplantations. Other goals include raising donor awareness andregistration, and promoting the huge impact and life-saving potential theprogram holds for the Midwest region.

The OSU Comprehensive Transplant Center is the only program of its kind inthe central Ohio area and 1 of only 254 transplant programs nationally. Over7,000 life-saving transplantations have been performed at Ohio State since theprogram’s inception in 1967.

RESEARCH

Microsurgery in the Laboratory: Cutting Cellsout of Tissue

Researchers can save time and money while capturing very relevant data bytaking advantage of the laser capture microdissection (LCM) technologyavailable at the Laser Capture Molecular Analysis Core. The core is directedby Dr. Sashwati Roy and managed by Dr. Sabyasachi Biswas. The core is apart of the Novel Clinical & Translational Methodologies Program, directedDr. Chandan Sen, professor of surgery.

This exciting technology was developed at the National Institute of Health toovercome the heterogeneity of tissue to isolate specific and pure populationsof cells. The LCM core utilizes a state-of-the-art PALM Microbeam systemthat features laser microdissection and pressure catapulting (LMPC). In LMPCthe biological material is placed on a polyethylene napthalate (PEN) membranecovered glass slide. The microscope-based technique locates and marks thespecific tissue to be sampled and a tightly focused laser beam is used to cutthe PEN membrane and the material. A defocused laser beam is then used to“pressure catapult” the cut membrane with cells into a sample collector. Thesystem allows for samples to be taken at the cellular level. The hugeadvantage of this technology is that a very specific tissue sample is obtained,without contamination. The speed of the process also allows for thepreservation RNA for analysis.

Researchers may obtain a $100 credit for future core use by citing “Lasercapture microdissection and subsequent analysis was performed at the LaserCapture Molecular Core of The Ohio State University Medical Center” in theMETHODS section of their manuscript. Details regarding the credit, corepolicies and fees, and for equipment training and scheduling can be found athttps://lcm.osu.edu/index.cfm. The core is located in the Biomedical ResearchTower.

SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF

Heidi Pieper

Surgery housestaff at Ohio State have a great resource and strong advocatein Heidi Pieper. Heidi is the general surgery residency coordinator for theDepartment of Surgery and her job is to help residents and fellows smoothlynavigate the Department’s programs.

At the suggestion of a friend, Heidi began working part-time in theDepartment of Surgery while an undergraduate at OSU. After graduating in2004 with a Bachelor’s Degree in English education, Heidi left Ohio Statebriefly, returning in 2005 to accept her current full-time position.

Heidi coordinates many activities of the general surgery residency program,including program accreditation, housestaff credentialing, resident compliancewith requirements, didactic conferences, and managing the resident websiteand on-line curricula. She also works closely with Dr. Ginny Bumgardner,professor of surgery in the Division of Transplantation, and associate dean,Research Education & Graduate Studies, managing the Master’s of MedicalScience Program (MMSP) for the university. The majority of general surgeryresidents complete the MMSP. Heidi helps all candidates with grantapplications, manages their program requirements, advises on courseselection and acts as a program liaison with the College of Medicine.

Dr. Jon Henry, a general surgery resident currently in the MMSP, stated,“Heidi is truly integral to our success throughout the residency program andMMS degree. Her dedication to our careers allows us to concentrate on ourresearch, education, and patient care. We are truly thankful that she is here.”Dr. Tom Pham, another resident currently in the MMSP added, “Heidi isextremely vital in helping me schedule classes and fulfill all my requirements.”Dr. Laura Peterson, general surgery resident, agreed, “Heidi is very much theheart of the MMSP. She is always available to help out, not only with anyorganizational issue that may arise, but also with making sure that thestudents get the most out of their experience. We are very lucky to have herinvolvement with the program.”

Heidi said it is extremely rewarding for her to see residents graduate from theirresidencies after having worked with them so closely for the entire duration oftheir surgical training. The class of 2011 will be the first class that she hasworked with for their entire residency, from the match process throughgraduation. “I still keep in touch with many of our graduates,” she explained.

Away from work, the Brookville, Ohio native stays busy raising her 2-year-olddaughter, Isabel, with husband, Mark. She enjoys spending time with familyand friends, taking in a movie, and of course, attending OSU Buckeye footballgames.

PLASTIC SURGERY

Second Ruberg Symposium Bigger, Betterthan Firstby Anne Taylor, MD

The Second Annual Ruberg Symposium was held on September 9-11, 2010, atthe new home of the Division of Plastic Surgery, the Gowdy Field building.This was the second annual event to honor Dr. Robert L. Ruberg, our “not-yet-retired-ex-chief” of Plastic Surgery, and begin a new tradition for thealumni of the plastic surgery program to gather, and share their own expertise,while making and renewing friendships. It also commemorated the one yearanniversary of the opening of our new facility at Gowdy, and continuedmomentum for the OSU Division of Plastic Surgery.

The Ruberg Symposium weekend began with a reception and “State of theDivision” report from division chief, Dr. Michael J. Miller. He traced the rootsof the program, presenting a pictorial chronological history of our OSUProgram Alumni, and then gave us a glimpse of the future of plastic surgery atOSU, which includes our transition to Department status. This was followedby a short research update by our residents presenting some of their ongoingprojects.

The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Milton Armstrong, past facultymember from 1990-2000, and his remarks focused on the challenges ofproviding excellent and comprehensive hand surgery delivery in the currenthealth care environment. He noted that many plastic surgeons are steppingback from hand surgery, specifically complicated trauma cases, but that in hisexperience, a “two thumbs up” from a patient after their amputation, is rewardenough. He concluded his remarks with a recap of his medical missionarytrips to Haiti, and the personal fulfillment this has brought him.

Surgical education is on the cutting edge at the Ruberg Symposium, with thefirst live telecast of a case in the new OSU Outpatient Surgery Center on thefirst floor of our new Gowdy office building. The case was a complexsecondary bilateral breast reconstruction case. The patient had previouslyundergone radiation, and bilateral free TRAMs. Our expert breastreconstruction team, headed by Dr. Pankaj Tiwari and assisted by Dr. ErgunKocak, determined that to improve volume and symmetry, bilateral gelimplants would provide the best outcome. They demonstrated their techniqueat achieving their goals, and educated the audience with their surgical pearlsfor pocket creation, pedicle protection, implant size selection and infectionmitigation. Dr. Raphael Villalobos and Dr. Michael Miller fielded the attendeesquestions. Another live surgery will definitely be a part of next year’ssymposium.

The intent for the educational portion of the Ruberg Symposium is tohighlight our own alumni “rock-stars” and bring them back to our institutionto give presentations and share their expertise. And by all accounts, thissecond event was hugely successful in this regard. The didactic clinicaleducation began with a panel centered on current trends in breastreconstruction. Our alumni experts who gave presentations were Dr. EdGronka, ’92, and Dr. Micheal Vennemeyer, ’07. This panel was moderated byDr. Raphael Villalobos, ’97. The current uses of a cellular dermal matrix and theSPY operative camera were highlighted. The aesthetic considerations ofbreast reconstruction and many case examples were utilized to provide theattendees excellent continuing medical education.

Headed by Dr. Gayle Gordillo, ’99, the research effort at OSU plastic surgery isreaching new levels of excellence. Her work with the Hemangioma Clinic andComprehensive Wound Care Clinic have brought these programs newrecognition and funding. The exciting work by Alok Sutradhar, PhD ontopology design of segmental bone replacement was presented. This workhas gained worldwide recognition and was recently cited in “The Economist”and other prestigious web sites. Dr. Ergun Kocak, ’08, presented his work on“Gene Modified Flaps for the Targeted Delivery of Genes and Prodrugs”. Thispromises to be an ongoing project with huge clinical significance. Theaddition of dedicated researchers has rounded out our division, and has beeninstrumental in our transformation into a Department.

The second panel’s focus was the area that plastic surgery overlaps withophthalmology and otolaryngology. Our guest speaker from ophthalmology,Dr. Tom Mauger, educated us on the dry eye. While he thought this would be“too dry”, it was exactly the opposite, quenching the thirst for knowledge onone of the problems that presents to us the most. Dr. Steve Smith, fromOtolaryngology likewise did the same for the topic of the turbinates. Finallyour own Dr. Yongsook Suh, ’98, presented her extensive experience with theAsian eyelid. Her own series rivals that of the most published authors, and welook forward to seeing her work published soon. This excellent collaborationof the disciplines was moderated by Dr. Arthur Bing, who has been a presencewith our division for many decades. He has generously donated many hours,and medical textbooks to our library, which we have formally named the BingEducation Resource Center.

The new Federal law was the topic of the Health Care Reform Point/Counterpoint and both sides of the aisle were represented by Dr. Anne Taylor,’96, and Dr. Greg Pearson, ’06. Our guest speaker, Mr. Tim Maglione, seniordirector of advocacy, the Ohio State Medical Association, rounded out thepanel and provided details. The process by which the law passed, andspecific details regarding the independent payment advisory board,


sustainable growth rate, physician quality reporting initiative, and mid-levelproviders, were debated and spurred lively discussion from all. We all agreedthat the roll-out of this law will be a topic of panels for many years to come.

The body contouring panelists, Dr. Steve Robinson, ’95, Dr. Susan Vasko, ’92,and Dr. Bivik Shah,’00, alumni practicing in Columbus, have vast experience inbody contouring using traditional and new modalities. Abdominal contouringusing aggressive liposuctioning is one of the newer combinations oftreatments presented by Dr. Robinson. His upper abdominal liposuctioning,and tight closures gave us all some things to consider. Dr. Vasko presentedher ongoing research on arm contouring with Smart Lipo. Her findings areintriguing and we all await her results, applauding her for doing a study on acontroversial subject. The treatment of breast ptosis, and volume depletion,after massive weight loss, were addressed by Dr. Shah, who has successfullycombined the mastopexy/augmentation and has achieved excellent results.This panel showcased the innovative surgeons and quality results of our ownalumni.

Our final panel on hand controversies, moderated by Dr. Armstrong, spannedthe age spectrum in our community from our newest hand surgeons, to themore experienced ones, including Dr. Brian Janz, Dr. Maya Spaeth, ’07, Dr.Michael Ruff and Dr. Jim Nappi, ’82. The topics also spanned the entirespectrum from pediatric hand issues, to more mature hand issues of carpel

tunnel release, thumb arthodesis, and Henry Clines disease a.k.a. Dupytren’s.This panel concluded our weekend of outstanding education.

The social event for our second year was a casual, fun evening of comedy.The improvisational troupe of performers from The Shadowbox had all of us“in stitches” with their hilarious skits. We all enjoyed the chance to kick backand laugh together.

We are in the planning stages for next year’s Third Annual RubergSymposium, and hope that everyone will mark their calendars and plan toattend. The tentative dates are September 8-10. We are continuing to have theopening reception on Thursday evening, a full Friday educational component,with live surgery demonstrations, and half day Saturday, followed by the OSUfootball game. More details will be coming soon.

Former resident returns for re-certification

Former resident Khaled H. Mutabagani, MD, PhD, returned to The Ohio StateUniversity and Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH) in September to be re-certified in pediatric surgery. Dr. Mutabagani completed a residency in generalsurgery in 1996 at The Ohio State University, and a residency in pediatricsurgery at Ohio State and Nationwide Children’s Hospital in 1998. Dr.Mutabagani is currently a pediatric surgeon at the New Jeddah Clinic Hospitalin Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah Clinic Hospital wasestablished in 1969 by his father Dr. Hamed Mutabagani. Dr. Mutabagani,senior, expanded the business with The New Jeddah Clinic Hospital in 1979,and another hospital in Medina, in 1985.

When asked of his impressions of Columbus in 2010, Dr. Mutabagani said thatalthough most of his visit was spent at either the OSU Medical Center orNationwide Children’s Hospital, he is very impressed by the amount ofdevelopment since the time of his residencies. He specifically mentioned thatRhodes Hall Auditorium, Means Hall, and Upham Hall are no longer standing,being replaced with the Ross Heart Hospital, the Davis Heart & LungResearch Institute, and the Biomedical Research Tower. He is impressed bythe new construction taking place at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Dr.Mutabagani also stated that the level of technology in use at Ohio State hasincreased significantly. Still, he misses the many green fields that were aroundthe university hospital in the 90s.

Dr. Mutabagani said the City of Columbus has also grown. A soccer fan, hesaid the Columbus Crew soccer team was just beginning when he lived here,and made Columbus life much more interesting for him. He likes the multi-cultural aspects of Columbus as well, and the warm friendly behavior of itsresidents toward foreigners, especially students. “Columbus maintains a nice,welcoming culture to foreign people.” Dr. Mutabagani said the OSU FootballTeam’s recent seasons are much better than when he lived in Columbus.

While in Columbus Dr. Mutabagani was able to catch-up with peers from histime as a resident, Dr. Gayle Gordillo, associate professor of surgery, PlasticSurgery, and Dr. Peter Muscarella, II, associate professor of surgery, Generaland Gastrointestinal Surgery. He also had time to visit with his formerprofessors, Dr. Mitchell Henry, professor of surgery and chief, Dr. ElmahdiElkhammas, professor of clinical surgery, and Dr. Elizabeth Ann Davies,assistant professor of surgery, Division of Transplantation; Dr. W. ScottMelvin, professor and chief, and Dr. Mark Arnold, professor of clinicalsurgery, Division of General and Gastrointestinal Surgery; and Dr. WilliamSmead, professor of surgery, Division of Vascular Diseases and Surgery. Dr.

Mutabagani


Mutabagani also mentioned that the late Dr. Michael Walker was a talentedsurgeon, a wise mentor and good friend.

Dr. Mutabagani also spent some time at NCH with his pediatric surgeryteachers, Drs. Denis King, Steven Teich, Gail Besner and Jonathan Groner. Healso congratulated Dr. Donna Caniano on her retirement, saying, “She will bemissed.” Dr. Mutabagani also saw Dr. Thomas Boles, who was his firstpediatric surgery teacher when he started his general surgery residency, in1989, on the Children’s pediatric surgery service. “My first day I operated withDr. Boles on a child with an inguinal hernia.” Dr. Mutabagani also rememberedDr. Ann Kosloske who taught him many things during his pediatric surgeryfellowship and the late Dr. Donald Cooney, former pediatric surgery chief atChildren’s Hospital, who helped him and supported him during his residency.

Upon completion of his re-certification, Dr. Mutabagani returned to Jeddah.
