Tracheal stenosis represents a significant challenge. Surgeons continue to search for appropriate reconstructive techniques and grafting materials long tracheal segment reconstruction. Grafts can be classified as synthetic, allogenic, autogenic, transplant, engineered. Although none of these grafts have provided overwhelming success, acellular composite engineered shown early promise applied in...

Sir,—I read with interest the article entitled "Trachea! rupture after tracheal intubation" by Regragui, Fagan and Natrajan [1]. The authors described the anaesthetic management of a patient with a distal tracheal tear. The trachea was intubated initially with an 8-mm tracheal rube under bronchoscopic guidance with the distal end of the tube above the tracheal tear. After right rhoracotomy was ...

BACKGROUND Tracheal rupture is a rare but life-threatening complication that most commonly occurrs after blunt trauma to the chest, but which may also complicate tracheal intubation. We report a case of post-intubation tracheal rupture after cataract surgery under general anesthesia treated conservatively. CASE PRESENTATION Four hours after extubation, a 67 year-old woman developed subcutaneo...

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has traditionally been performed using multiple small sites. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has emerged as an alternative technique to improve cosmesis and minimize complications associated with multiple incisions. A retrospective study was performed of all patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy by a single surgeon (DTA) from April 2008 to August ...

OBJECTIVE To present the results of Maylard incisionfor gynecologic surgery in Thammasat University Hospital during the past four years. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective study of gynecologic surgery performed via the Maylard muscle cutting incision compare to Pfannenstiel muscle splitting and midline incision. Data came from subjects who underwent gynecologic surgey at Thammasat University...

● Tracheal tube—commonly called an endotracheal tube. Note that a tracheal tube may be incorrectly placed in the esophagus, so the term does not mean a correctly positioned tube in the trachea. Moreover, a tracheostomy tube is not the same as a tracheal tube as used in these guidelines, even though both tubes are placed in the trachea. The procedure of placing a tracheal tube is still called en...

Background  Buccal fat pad is known as anatomic structure in between the masticatory muscles that separate these muscles from each other and surrounding bone. Ease of access, through the intraoral route makes it suitable choice for obtaining adipose derived stem cells. Methods  Intraoral incisions for getting access to the buccal fat of pad are; Retromolar incision, incision in medial of pt...

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy and surgical effects of the anterior low small incision and the traditional incision in the treatments of thyroid adenomas. METHODS Eighty cases of thyroid adenoma patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. Forty patients in the control group received the traditional incision, whereas the experimental group receive...

intubating a patient with panfacial fractures is always a challenge to the anesthesiologist as both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon are essentially competing for the same space. the anesthetic management of a 19-year-old boy who presented with multiple maxillofacial injuries, pneumocephalus, and cerebral edema sustained during a road traffic accident has been described. he was posted for o...
