Partial nephrectomy, using open surgery or laparoscopy, is a standard surgical approach to treat renal disorders. The objective of this study was to compare and evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic partial nephrectomy using figure eight ligation technique. Mixed-breed dogs were randomly dedicated for partial nephrectomy using laparoscopy (n=6) and open surgery (n=6). During 30 da...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) in biaxial microincision cataract surgery with enlargement of one corneal incision during intraocular lens implantation (IOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 683 eyes with cataract that underwent biaxial microincision cataract surgery and IOL were retrospectively analyzed. The operated eyes were divided into 4 groups defined by fina...

Carpal tunnel syndrome has been reported as the most common neuropathy in humans. The a major impact on socio-economic life due to its high incidence and it usually affects working-age population. purpose of this study was evaluate results reliability after our own mini-open incision with simple retractors from eye surgery, through 1.5–2.0 cm long incision. For reason, we used Disabilities Arm,...

Abstract Background We improved Inflatable Single-Incision Mediastinoscopy esophagectomy to implement the simultaneous laparoscopic with inflatablesingle-Incision mediastinoscope and lymphadenectomy along bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerves under mediastinoscopy through a single left-neck incision formed concept of modular treatment inflatable mediastinoscopic based on fascial anatomy which we...

INTRODUCTION Small incisions in cataract surgery have shown to reduce tissue damage, postoperative inflammation and pain. OBJECTIVE To describe in detail the surgical management challenges and clinical results of bimanual micro-incision phacoemulsification cataract surgery in children with congenital cataract. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 22 eyes of 14 children aged from 11 months to 17 years w...

INTRODUCTION Compare the outcomes between kidney morcellation and two types of open specimen extraction incisions, several covariates need to be taken into consideration that have not yet been studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 153 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic nephrectomy at our institution, 107 who underwent specimen morcellation and 46 with intact ...

INTRODUCTION The advent of acellular dermis-based tissue expander breast reconstruction has placed an increased emphasis on optimizing intraoperative volume. Because skin preservation is a critical determinant of intraoperative volume expansion, a mathematical model was developed to capture the influence of incision dimension on subsequent tissue expander volumes. METHODS A mathematical equat...

OBJECTIVE To explore the applications of preoperative planning and virtual surgery including surgical windowing and elevating reduction and to determine the clinical effects of this technology on the treatment of Schatzker type III tibial plateau fractures. METHODS 32 patients with Schatzker type III tibial plateau fractures were randomised upon their admission to the hospital using a sealed ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Until the advent of singleincision laparoscopic surgery, few advances were aimed at improving cosmesis with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Criticisms of the single-incision laparoscopic surgery technique include a larger incision and increased incidence of wound-related complications. We present our initial experience with a novel technique aimed at performing strategic...
