Anaesthetic Techniques for Endoscopy - A Clinical Evaluation

Visualization Techniques for Virtual Endoscopy Visualization Techniques for Virtual Endoscopy

Virtual Endoscopy is a technique to explore hollow organs and anatomical cavities using 3D medical imaging and computer graphics. Virtual Endoscopy turns out to be a promising technique to improve, or even in some procedures substitute, real endoscopy. A real endoscopy is invasive and usually implies some risk for the patient. In the last decades, much research has been done in this field. This...

Anaesthetic techniques for carotid surgery.

In the GALA trial (Dec 20, p 2132), all types of regional anaesthesia were grouped as one: “local anaesthesia”. Yet clinical and anatomical studies confi rm important diff erences between simple subcutaneous infi ltration, formal “superfi cial” cervical plexus block, and a deep block. The last two are clinically equally eff ective, anatomical investigations showing that the so-called deep cervi...

Buccal Fat Pad for Management of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage Using Endoscopy: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background and Aim: Several surgical techniques have been so far used for treating Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leakage (rhinorrhea) such as using abdominal fat or fascia lata, but these methods have complications such as the presence of several surgeons in variable fields in the operating room or cosmetic complications for donors such as the surgical scar. This study aimed to investigate using bu...
