Currently, the internet is an indispensable tool for the development of society; emphasizing the progress it has had and the benefits that its good use provides, since for communities that interact online, the internet is a window to opportunities and empowerment. However, its inappropriate use could create dependency that could interrupt the development of the user's usual activities. One of the reasons for this to happen is that, for today's young people, the virtual field has as much reality as face-to-face relationships, since, in both, information can be shared immediately.Item Situación de los comités de bioética clínico asistencial (cbca) en las instituciones de salud públicas y privadas de los niveles de mediana y alta complejidad en santiago de cali, año 2018(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Canizales Soto, William David; Diaz Devia, Daniel; Garcia Murillas, Jhon Sebastian; Enríquez Castro, Lorena (Directora)Ethics Committees are interdisciplinary groups that deal with the teaching for the committee members themselves, for all the staff of the hospital institution including the teachers and students who work there carry out their internships, and members of the community; They also study the ethical quality of research protocols and answer questions about Bioethics (1). In Colombia, this type of study is relevant, since CBCAs are barely are being implemented, this project was initially applied in the city of Cartagena and later on the Atlantic Coast in the years 2009 – 2012; but it is evident that its operation and application in the health institutions of the country, existing the possibility of composition theory of them, although it is only taken as a protocol, but is not practice clinicallyItem Conocimiento del manejo de los residuos hospitalarios de los estudiantes de instrumentación quirúrgica de quinto a octavo semestre en la universidad santiago de cali 2018b(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Daza Torres, Ana Isabel; Gonzalez Acosta, Maria Victoria; Gonzalez Dique, Laura Carolina; Maldonado Rincón, Beatriz Alejandra (Directora)The level of knowledge of the students from the fifth to the eighth semester of the Surgical Instrumentation program of the Santiago de Cali University was evaluated in 2018b.

From a descriptive methodology with a qualitative approach, academic databases were searched, taking as a criterion of inclusion texts published in the last eight years, with emphasis on the concept of reuse, cases in Colombia and precautions to be taken into account for their implementation; excluding those older ones that do not address the aforementioned issues. The information was analyzed from a tracking matrix. The results obtained are presented in three sections, the first one exposes the generalities about the reuse in medical centers; the second exhibits the precautions required to consider this practice, and the third presents details about its application in Colombia. It is concluded that it is a common practice in general medicine, surgery and odontology, reducing costs of the procedures provided that optimal aseptic measures are implemented, cleaning, disinfection, functional tests, reconditioning, sterilization, as well as luminescence tests, cultures, biological evaluation and simulation of useItem Adherencia al protocolo de lavado de manos quirúrgico en los egresados del programa de Instrumentación Quirúrgica de la Universidad Santiago de Cali, que laboran en 4 instituciones de la ciudad de Cali y Palmira, 201(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Castro Forero, Maria Camila; Mendoza Rodriguez, Daniela; Osorio Zuluaga, Lady Daniela; Lozano Garcia, Jennifer Johana (Directora)The objective of this work was to determine the adherence level to the surgical hand washing protocol in the graduates of the surgical instrumentation program of the Santiago de Cali University who work in 4 clinical institutions in the cities of Cali and Palmira in 2018 in order to determine if the people under study in the healthcare area performs correct surgical handwashing or conversely they do not satisfy with the parameters established by the university, without consider the possible complications that this It may in the patient. Regarding the design of this study it is observational, the indirectly observation during the execution of the surgical handwashing was registered in the checklist. In order not to alter the results of this study to avoid interfering in the veracity of the results, the sample size was obtained at convenience because only the graduates who work in the healthcare area where surgical handwashing is performed with water and antiseptic soap were included in the study. At the time of the observation they were given a confidentiality agreement, then the checklist determined in 2 levels of adherence was made, being low from 0 to 49.9% and high from 50 to 100%, the checklist has the requirements that are needed to perform a good surgical handwashing, and at each point it was established whether or not people complied it. Then, the survey was conducted, the survey shows the level of knowledge regarding the research topic, classified as follows: low level is less than 33.3%, medium knowledge level from 33.4% to 66, 6% and high level of knowledge from 66.7% to 100%. Finally, the results of the knowledge survey and the checklist were obtained: 1. 57% of the people under study obtained a high level of knowledge and the remaining 43% are at a medium level, according to the interpretation table. 2. The graduates under study are in a high level of adherence obtaining a score of 100% according to the scale of measurement. 3 The conclusion is that it could be shown that although the results at the level of knowledge and practice are high, a part of the people under study must reinforce concepts related to surgical handwashing, rethink some parameters that are not being met at the time of performing it, so take corrective measures to do their work and avoid being transmitters of nosocomial infections in the area of surgery, always focused on the patient's welfareItem Nivel de conocimiento y practicas sobre el manejo de los residuos solidos en una institucion educativa pública de la ciudad de cali año 2018(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Araque Cabrera, Lina Vanessa; Cosme Palomino, Laura Marcela; Vega Urresty, Maria Valentina; Álvarez Marín, Angélica María (Directora)The level of knowledge about the management of solid waste in a public institution in the city of Cali was evaluated in 2018.

Methodology: This article explores the impact of neuronavigation on healthcare by offering solutions to intraoperative complications, providing significant advantages in terms of patient safety and acceleration of the recovery process. A bibliographic review covering the last five years was carried out, identifying a total of 32 publications through search engines such as Scopus, PubMed, Scielo, Oxford, Springer, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar repository. Results: In the results it was possible to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of neuronavigation, determining the advantages and limitations and identifying the complications associated with its use. Neuronavigation turns out to be a novel and effective technology for performing image-guided surgeries in which the neurosurgeon can observe in real time the situation of the surgical instruments, as well as each of their maneuvers superimposed on three-dimensional reconstructions of images of the spinal column. Conclusions: Neuronavigation has proven to be a valuable tool in spine surgery, improving precision and safety in a variety of procedures, although its limitations and potential associated complications must be considered.Item Aplicación de la tecnología de rayos gamma en neurocirugía oncológica: revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) De La Cruz Gómez, Yenifer Tatiana; Garcés Angulo, Angela; Pérez Taborda, Yuliana; Maldonado Rincón, Beatriz Alejandra (Directora)Item Situación actual de procedimientos quirúrgicos para el pectus excavatum: revisión de alcance(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Arizabaleta Hurtado, Valeria; Castillo Viveros, Zaira Liseth; López López, María Nela (Directora)Introduction. Pectus excavatum (PE) is a malformation in which the cartilage does not develop properly and therefore causes subsidence and is more predominant in men. Therefore, they are of congenital origin associated with the consequences of the development of the thoracic cage belonging to type one, these being cartilaginous (1-4). Likewise, the diagnostic method used is magnetic resonance, which through an image allows visualizing the anatomy in detail (5). Thus, the first surgical procedure was published by Dr. Mark Mitchell Ravich in 1994 (6) and later a minimally invasive procedure was created in 1998 by Dr. Donald Nuss (7). Aim. Know the current situation of surgical procedures for pectus excavatum Materials and methods. The databases that were used were: Researchgate, Refseek, Scielo, Pubmed, Secipe, Springer Link, Oxford Academic, Science Direct, Electronic Base of Medical Portals, Electronic Health Research Base, and the Google Scholar Reservoir Result: Surgery de Nuss has been the fundamental basis for carrying out different modifications due to the flexibility of the ribcage or, on the contrary, the creation of innovative surgical techniques and lighter and more resistant sternal materials that provide the patient with other treatment options. Conclusion: Recent surgical procedures to repair the anomaly are good options that provide aesthetic, functional, and functional aesthetic results that generate confidence and safety in the patient.Item Análisis comparativo del tratamiento percutáneo vs cirugía convencional de la insuficiencia mitral: estado del arte(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Castillo Marmolejo, Nicole Andrea; Leyton Erazo, Maryi Tatiana; López López, María Nela (Directora)Introduction: The most common valvular disorders affecting the structure of the heart is mitral insufficiency (MI), which is defined by backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during ventricular contraction caused by damage to the valve leaflets. For this reason, two major groups can be described according to their etiology: primary mitral valve disease (PMV) and secondary mitral valve disease (SMV). Objective. To compare percutaneous MitraClip® vs surgical treatment of MI (1). Materials and Methods. A state of the art review was performed using databases: SAGE JOURNALS, ScienceDirect and Taylor&Francis Online, articles published between 2017 and 2022. Results. The benefits of MV repair by conventional technique allow greater success if the intervention is early, and percutaneous repair is safe, effective and feasible in patients considered inoperable, providing improved long-term quality of life. However, these treatments are not free of complications, the most frequent in conventional surgery being postoperative pain and prolonged hospitalization times, and the MitraClip® device, despite being a minimally invasive procedure, presents detachment of the clip and stroke. Conclusions. Currently, MI has proven to be the most common valvular heart disease in the aging population, due to the comorbidities that are present. This valvulopathy is attracting increasing interest in the medical community, based on current evidence percutaneous and conventional MV repair techniques offer a treatment alternative depending on anatomical criteria.Item Eficacia de las técnicas con láser verde y holmium para la hiperplasia benigna prostática. Estado del arte(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Arango Arteaga, María Camila; Muñoz Bejarano, Lilia Sofía; Ramírez Valencia, Daniela; López López, María Nela (Directora)Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a benign pathological process, which is associated in 80% to age factors, being the most affected population men older than 50 years; however, at present, there are effective methods for the surgical treatment of BPH, such as, Green laser and Holmium laser, since they are minimally invasive methods and avoid at the same time injuries or damages to the patient.(1,2). Objective: To review the efficacy of green and holmium laser techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials and methods: The present review was carried out by means of a search of articles in databases such as: Pubmed(n=34), MediGraphic(n=3), Elsevier(n=2), Scielo(n=9), Dialnet(n=5), ScienceDirect(n=14) and Google Academic Repository(n=14) for a total of 81 articles. Results: BPH is one of the pathologies that affects more than 50% of the male population, which is why specialists have opted for alternatives such as the use of lasers, since it is scientifically proven that it does not cause lesions and complications to the patient; on the other hand, it must be taken into account that both lasers are different in terms of their operation and their standards, since the Green laser is not suitable for large prostates. Conclusions: Lasers are highly effective tools for the treatment of BPH, since it is possible to show a decrease in prostate size without leaving residues in the patient, and at the same time avoiding injury to other nearby structures.
