Dermoid cysts are benign tumors that represent the simplest form of teratoma (1). Approximately 7% of dermoid cysts affect the head and neck region, and within this region, they are commonly found along the orbital walls(2). Orbital dermoid cysts occur most commonly along the lateral aspect of the orbit, in approximately 69% of cases. Intraorbital location is relatively rare for these lesions. ...

A coronary artery fistula was surgically ligated in a 38-year-old woman via a left anterior mini-thoracotomy without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. In selected cases, this surgical approach can provide an excellent surgical exposure for coronary artery fistula ligation. It also offers an excellent cosmetic result and shorter hospital stay.

OBJECTIVES Placing implants in the posterior maxillary area has the drawback of working with scarce, poor quality bone in a significant percentage of cases. Numerous advanced surgical techniques have been developed to overcome the difficulties associated with these limitations. Subsequent to reports on the elevation of the maxillary sinus through the lateral approach, there were reports on the ...

Bone spreading technique (BST) is horizontal augmentation with minimal trauma for simultaneous implant placement and is an alternative Summer’s osteotome both clinical use as well as the armamentarium. The foremost advantage of the crest dilation technique is a substantially less invasive method; the buccal wall expands after the medular bone is compressed against the cortical bone. The lateral...

Radiofrequency ablation is the most commonly used percutaneous ablation technique and well-documented in the literature on focal therapies. It has become the image-guided ablation method of choice because of its efficacy, safety, and ease of use. Radiofrequency ablation has shown promise in treating selected solid tumors, particularly those involving the liver, kidneys, lungs, ...

RESULTS: Complete or near complete correction of ptosis (degree of ptosis<1mm) was achieved in all the 5 eyelids in postoperative follow-up. The preoperative MRD1 ranged from -4 to 0 mm with the mean of -3 mm while the postoperative ranged from 2.5 mm and 3.6 mm with a mean of 3.2 mm. The width of tarsal plate to excise ranged from 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm with a mean of 3.52 mm. The preoperative lid s...

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common condition in elderly patients and may lead to progressive back and leg pain, muscular weakness, sensory disturbance, and/or problems with ambulation. Multiple studies suggest that surgical decompression is an effective therapy for patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis. Although traditional lumbar decompression is a time-honored procedure, minimally invasiv...

Dynamic X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is an attractive imaging technology for the guidance in minimal invasive surgery. In this field, projection data simulation is an important tool to optimise scanner geometry and to validate reconstruction algorithms. A realistic simulation software, called “Sindbad” has been developed to compute 2D projections. It is based on an analytical model and allows...

Background: Ganglion is a common cystic swelling around wrist presenting in outdoor department, clinical examination sufficient for making diagnosis of simple cyst, cosmesis and pain are main complain. Treatment includes aspiration with or without injections but has high recurrence rate, surgical excision low rate being invasive there numerous complications should be warrant depending on patien...
