Background: The technique of vertical dome division or tip defining, involves incising the lateral crura and vestibular skin at or lateral to the dome or tip defining point. The incision di-vides the lower lateral cartilage into a lateral segment and a medial segment, which are advanced anteriorly and sutured together to increase tip projection. The present study aimed at assessing a new vertic...

We have used surgical gauze under the prepuceal skin as a pack in 20 cases prior to marking incision for circumcision. The prepuceal adhesions were first dissected and seperated. The method allows a stable, well-supported prepuceal surface for marking incisions and avoids injuries to the glans. Because the prepuceal surface is taut and stable, hemostasis is easier and quicker and the operating ...

Surgical technique of total laryngectomy is well presented in many surgical textbooks. Essentially, it has remained the same since Gluck an Soerensen in 1922 described all its details. Generally, it stresses the U shape skin incision with releasing laryngeal structures and removing larynx from up to down. Further, pharyngeal reconstruction is performed with different kinds of sutures in two or ...

AIM to develop a modification to hybrid phacoemulsification (PE) that would involve the use of femtosecond laser. MATERIAL AND METHODS Modified hybrid PE was performed in 225 patients (267 eyes) with grade II-IV lens nuclei in terms of their density. Conventional PE was performed in 237 patients (278 eyes). RESULTS By utilizing the suggested technique of PE, one can avoid certain problems o...

We compare and contrast three different perturbative expansions for the quartic anharmonic oscillator wavefunction and apply a modified Borel summation technique to determine the energy eigenvalues. In the first two expansions this provides the energy eigenvalues directly however in the third method we tune the wavefunctions to achieve the correct large x behaviour as first illustrated in [1]. ...

Because of the frequency of multiple sites of involvement, a thorough evaluation of the entire spinal canal is essential for detection and treatment of spinal compression in cancer patients. For the examination of the entire spinal canal in cancer patients, a modified approach is described using water-soluble contrast medium (metrizamide), oil-based material (Pantopaque), and a "squeezing" tech...
