INTRODUCTION Cold dissection (CD) and bipolar cautery dissection (BCD) techniques are two common surgical tonsillectomy procedures used in the clinic. Obstruction has become more prevalent as the major surgical indication and is most prominently observed in younger children. CASE REPORT In this report, we aimed to explain the abovementioned surgical techniques in detail and compare the result...

We describe a new simple and easy technique called the "Hook and roll technique" (HRT) that uses an articulating hook cautery to provide a critical view during single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC). A 2-cm incision is made at the umbilicus to insert three 5-mm trocars or a multichannel port. After dissection of the serosa of the dorsal and ventral sides of the gall bladder, includ...

MY OBJECT in publishing this series of glaucoma operations is to draw attention to the galvano-cautery puncture of Preziozi (1924, 1950) in the hope that other surgeons will give it a trial. It is very similar to Elliott's trephine operation, but is even easier to perform, and takes a much shorter time. In my report consideration is given to the result of the operation on the tension, together ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of adjunctive treatments to decrease herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) recurrences in patients with simultaneous stromal HSK and dry eye disease. METHODS This was a nonrandomized, single-center, retrospective, comparative analysis. Forty-two patients were diagnosed with unilateral HSK and dry eye disease. Of the 42 patients, 22 were treated with ipsilateral pun...

BACKGROUND Little evidence supports the use of any one vas occlusion method. Data from a number of studies now suggest that there are differences in effectiveness among different occlusion methods. The main objectives of this study were to estimate the effectiveness of vasectomy by cautery and to describe the trends in sperm counts after cautery vasectomy. Other objectives were to estimate time...
