BACKGROUND There is a potential risk of infection with blood-borne viruses if a doctor receives a blood splash to a mucous membrane. The quantification of facial contamination with blood has never been documented in the context of dermatological surgery. OBJECTIVES (i) To identify the number of facial blood splashes that occur during skin surgery and to identify the procedures that present hi...

To apply a new airway treatment to humans, preclinical studies in an appropriate animal model is needed. Canine, porcine and leporine tracheas have been employed as stenosis models using various methods such chemical caustic agents, laser, electrocautery. However, existing take long time develop (3-8 weeks) the mechanism of different from that humans. The aim present study was establish fast tr...

Gastrointestinal perforation, anastomotic leak, stricture and fistula remain a therapeutic challenge because open surgical approaches have been associated with high rates of morbidity, mortality, and repeat recurrences. Various endoscopic technique using tissue adhesives, electrocautery, sclerosants, stenting, clipping and OTSC have been reported. Now we introduce these methods for management o...

According to the authors, advantages of outpatient abdominoplasty performed with the patient under conscious sedation are decreased nausea and vomiting and greatly reduced risk of deep venous thrombosis. Sharp dissection without electrocautery, preservation of perforators, and a plane of dissection that preserves lymphatic vessels has provided rapid recovery, minimal need for postoperative narc...

Restoration of volar tilt is critical when performing open reduction and internal fixation of distal radius fractures. A reproducible technique is required to consistently achieve this goal. A simple technique using the locking plate and an electrocautery scratch pad as reduction tools can reliably generate volar tilt. This technique can be performed with minimal aid from surgical assistants.

We describe a 63-year-old male who presented with progressive exertional dyspnea, post-obstructive pneumonia and chest CT findings of an endobronchial lesion. Bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial lipoma, which was resected using snare electrocautery. Complete resolution of the patient's symptoms was noted following bronchoscopic resection.
