The used disposable stapler incision, conventional incision. Statistical analysis was carried out on 6 indicators including sutu...

BACKGROUND Descending influences from the rostral medial medulla (RMM) contribute to secondary hyperalgesia in persistent inflammatory, neuropathic, and visceral pain models. The current study examined if descending inhibition or facilitation from the RMM modulates primary and secondary hyperalgesia after incision in the rat hind limb. METHODS Bilateral RMM lesions were produced using the som...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS Open surgery for choledochal cyst has a disadvantage of skin incision scar from operative wound, which can be a definite disadvantage especially in young female patients. This study focused on the cosmetic aspect of skin incision for resection of choledochal cyst in young female patients. METHODS During a 2-year study period, 11 adult female patients aged less than 40 years u...

Methods 61 patients undergoing valve surgery were managed with V-atriotomy incision because of inadequate exposure of the mitral valve and subvalvular apparatus. 37 patients were male (60.7%) and 24 patients were female (39,3%) with a mean age of 64.7±10,2. Standart left atriotomy incision was made primarily and in cases of bad exposure, caval snares were tightened for total perfusion. Right at...

Purpose. To compare the surgically induced astigmatism from clear corneal and square posterior limbal incisions at the time of cataract surgery. Methods. Surgically induced astigmatism was calculated for a set of eyes after cataract surgery using a temporal 2.2 mm square posterior limbal incision. Results were compared to similar available data from surgeons using clear corneal incisions of sim...

BACKGROUND Various incisions and approaches have been developed for lateral neck dissection. The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical and cosmetic outcomes of a single low transverse incision with the hockey stick incision for lateral neck dissection (LND) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 97 patients with PTC who underwent th...

background & aim: episiotomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in obstetrics, which requires analgesia. entonox gas is known to have analgesic and sedative properties. however, no studies have been found on the analgesic effects of entonox on episiotomy incision. therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of entonox and lidocaine on pain intensity during episiotomy incision ...
