Most techniques for treatment of balanitic hypospadias cannot be considered entirely satisfactory because they are too complex, necessitate several repair procedures or involve complications such as fistulas, strictures and necrosis. Because of these circumstances and because of the possibility of poor results, most surgeons believe that correction of this condition is not necessary since mictu...

ZASLAU S, HAJIRAN A. Surgical technique for removal of InterStim leads. Can J Urol 2017; 24(4):8921. Common pitfalls in lead removal involve pulling the wire through a single incision while still attached to the IPG, or pulling the wire proximal to Marker Band B. The authors of this article emphasize the true key to successful tined lead removal, which is grasping the tined portion of the lead ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a technique for preservation of organoleptic tissue characteristics (color, odor, texture, and flexibility) in cadavers used for surgical instruction. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. ANIMALS Forty-three canine cadavers. METHODS Cadavers were preserved with a modified Larssen solution of the Hospital Cochim, Paris and cryopreservation. Tissue handling qualities were ...

Seven cynomolgus monkeys underwent a histologically confirmed left superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx). Unilateral ocular sympathetic denervation persisting for at least 2 yr was confirmed by ipsilateral ptosis, miosis, supersensitivity of pupillary dilation to topical phenylephrine, and profound pupillary hyporesponsiveness to topical hydroxyamphetamine. Intraocular pressure 8-9 and 23-27 ...

To circumvent the disadvantages of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy such as small rhinostomy size, high failure rate and expensive equipment, we hereby introduce a modified technique of non-endoscopic mechanical endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (NE-MEDCR). Surgery is performed under general anesthesia with local decongestion of the nasal mucosa. A 20-gauge vitrectomy light probe is introduced th...

BACKGROUND Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit characterized by multiple sebum-containing dermal cysts. Different surgical modalities like cryosurgery, aspiration, surgical excision, incision with a surgical blade or sharp-tipped cautery followed by expression of cyst contents and forceps-assisted removal of the cyst wall and carbon dioxide laser have been used ...

sites.1 But the traditionally practiced periodontal surgical techniques were designed for the treatment of generalized disease,2 which involves relatively long incision and extension into non-periodontally involved areas. These extensive tissue reflections could result in attachment loss3 and can lead to morbidities like thermal sensitivity, food impaction, and compromised esthetics.4 In recent...

Symptoms and signs in adults might include recurrent flank pain, urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis that require surgical correction. Due to the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines, indications for surgical treatment include impaired split renal function of less than 40%, a decrease of split renal function of more than 10% in subsequent studies, increased antero-posterior ...
