The treatment of symptomatic calcifying tendinitis of the rotator cuff is usally medical. Whereas, chronic and painfull features can beneficiate of a surgical treatment. With shoulder arthroscopy it's possible to remove the type A and B calcifications and to perform a bursectomy and acromioplasty in type C uncollected. The clinical and radiological results with one year of follow-up upgrate 90%...

The incidence of guiding catheter tip fracture, is quite rare during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Retained broken catheter tip in coronary artery and circulation can result in serious complications such as thrombosis, embolism, acute occlusion and myocardial infarction, arrhythmias and sepsis. It is mandatory to remove the fractured catheter as soon as possible to avoid these comp...

Computed tomography (CT) scan of a patient showed a 20*15*12 cm retroperitoneal tumor with left inguinal lymph node metastasis. A surgical operation was performed to remove the tumor and metastatic lymph nodes. Postoperative histological examination showed a retroperitoneal GIST with inguinal lymph node metastasis. The patient started to take imatinib 400 mg/d. There were no signs of tumor recu...

Contemporary surgical options to remove the thymus gland include median sternotomy with extended resection or minimally invasive techniques. Transcervical thymectomy has been criticized as potentially giving a "lesser" thymectomy. We describe the trans cervical approach with telescope enhancement using a standard VATS camera. This report describes the method emphasising the excellent visualizat...

In this paper, we present visualization techniques for neck dissection planning. These interventions are carried out to remove lymph node metastasis in the neck region. 3d visualization is intended to explore and to quantify anatomic and pathologic structures and thus support decisions concerning the surgical strategy. For this purpose we developed and combined visualization and interaction tec...

Hydrogen peroxide solution is commonly used for irrigating and cleaning wounds. It has some germicidal properties and may remove contaminants mechanically. When it is applied to tissues catalase causes its rapid molecular decomposition with the release of oxygen bubbles (1 ml of hydrogen peroxide 3% (10 vol) will release 10 ml oxygen).' Irrigation under pressure or into enclosed body cavities, ...

Ovarian cancer mostly presents with extensive peritoneal cavity and extraperitoneal dissemination. Satisfactory complete resection of the lesions is one key factors to improve prognosis. The trend surgical extra-ovarian tissues organs invaded by tumor has become obvious in order remove all primary loci metastases as much possible minimize residual lesions. This article provides a literature rev...

The triad of acute osteomyelitis, deep venous thrombophlebitis, and septic pulmonary embolism is a rare, but life-threatening syndrome in children that requires prompt recognition and treatment. We report two cases of acute osteomyelitis complicated by septic thrombophlebitis and pulmonary emboli. Both patients required operative drainage to remove the septic focus. Recognition of any one compo...

Sphenochoanal polyp is a rare form of choanal polyp. If unrecognised, they can be mistaken for an antrochoanal polyp. This will result in unnecessary exploration of the maxillary sinus, and a failure to remove the sphenoidal component of the sphenochoanal polyp. Adequate preoperative evaluation with computed tomography or magnetic resonance is mandatory to ascertain the correct diagnosis, and t...

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is the surgical treatment of choice for morbid obesity. Several therapeutic options to remove common bile duct (CBD) stones have been proposed in these patients. Laparoscopy-assisted transgastric ERCP (LATERCP) has a high success rate. However, the procedure is not fully standardized and some technical variations have been proposed. We introduce two...
