Vasectomy in laboratory animals is a crucial step in the production of surrogate female mice. The surrogate mothers play a key role in successful embryo transfer, most important steps for the production of transgenic animal models, investigation of the preimplantation embryo development, and revitalization of cryopreserved strains. Abdominal and scrotal surgeries are common surgical proce...

A hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval forms of mostly the Echinococcus granulosus. In humans, the most common site of cyst development is the liver (60%), followed by the lungs (20%), and much less commonly in other organs such as kidney, spleen, brain, and other soft tissues. The localization of cysts in muscles and subcutaneous is very rare. We report a case of 38-year-o...

• Donor mortality and major complications appear equivalent with laparoscopic and open donor nephrectomy. In open surgery, the risks appear related to perioperative complications including pulmonary emboli, pneumonia and ischaemic events. With laparoscopic surgery, complications are largely due to catastrophic intraoperative events related to securing of the vascular pedicle. Measures to reduce...

BACKGROUND A wide variety of surgical techniques are used to perform vasectomy. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess if any surgical techniques to isolate or occlude the vas are associated with better outcomes in terms of occlusive and contraceptive effectiveness, and complications. METHODS We searched MEDLINE (1966-June 2003), EMBASE (1980-June 2003), reference lists of retrie...

1.1 History Tumors of the superior sulcus represent less than 5% of lung malignancies. The distinctive symptomatology was first described by Edwin Hare in 1838 [1], and it has been nearly 80 years since clinical and radiographic features of this tumor were described by Dr Henry Pancoast, a radiologist, in 1924 [2]. As a radiologist, he noted the difficulty in detecting the tumor on a plain ches...

PURPOSE To report the clinical features of eyes with intraretinal foreign bodies (IRFBs) and to evaluate the results of surgical management in these eyes. METHODS Hospital records of 34 eyes of 33 patients with IRFBs were reviewed. All eyes underwent pars plana vitrectomy to remove the foreign bodies using intraocular forceps or by magnetic extraction. RESULTS All patients were male with me...

Acute aortic dissection is a surgical emergency that must be urgently managed, with the primary goal of restoring flow to the dominant true lumen in the downstream aorta. Our preference at the Cleveland Clinic is for an open distal anastomosis technique without aortic clamping, as it permits more accurate approximation of dissected layers and more homeostatically secure anastomosis. During this...

Extra-axial tumors are lesions, neoplastic and not, which are external to the brain parenchyma and can originate in the skull, meninges, cranial nerves, and brain appendages such as the pituitary gland. Surgery provides a diagnosis and can be the first step in the treatment. When chosen as a treatment, we should consider the access and the approach to the lesion, the adequate operative techniqu...

A review of the current scientific literature was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive periodontal regenerative surgery in the treatment of periodontal defects. The impact on clinical outcomes, surgical chair-time, side effects and patient morbidity were evaluated. An electronic search of PUBMED database from January 1987 to December 2011 was undertaken on dental journals u...
