Abstract Injury to inferior epigastric vessels during tacking is the Achilles heel of traditional IPOM method Lap ventral hernia repair. Although surface marking preoperatively with USG guidance and / or other ingenious methods are described, none them in real time hence, not fool proof. We hereby describe transillumination technique localising pedicle avert a catastrophe.

Frequent screening of suspicious skin pigmentations is of paramount importance since, at an early stage, skin cancer has a high cure rate and, in most cases, requires a simple treatment. In this paper, we present a new methodology for early detection of skin cancer based on the analysis of a pair of cross-polarization and side-transillumination images to examine surface pigmentation and vascula...

PURPOSE To compare a novel spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) technique with traditional lid transillumination for evaluation of meibomian glands (MGs) and to assess the relation of MG morphologic changes to the glandular atrophy. DESIGN Evaluation of diagnostic technology. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-one patients with obstructive MGD (30 men, 31 women; age [mean ± standard deviat...

Transillumination (TI) is a safe and reliable technique for evaluating masses or the presence of free air in the thorax or abdomen. TI can also be of help in the accurate placement of catheters or needles in the chest, abdomen, bladder, or vessels. Its use in several hundred cases has been documented by this report.
