Background: The recognized procedures that have been used to treat gynecomastia are said to have relatively a long operative time, less patient satisfaction rate, they are merely used, in mild to moderate gynecomastia, leaves a mild bulging over the nipple areola complex, resulting in aesthetically unsatisfactory results. The more the grade of gynecomastia, the more complicated the used surgical techniques. This study evaluates the success rate of these simplest surgical technique in higher grades of gynecomastia. Objectives: to present the experiences with use of Modification of Combined Vibrated Power Assisted Liposuction with Periareolar Gland Excision in management of in different type Gynecomastia Type of the study: This is a retrospective study Methods: The study  includes the use of a modification of combine vibrated power-assisted liposuction with periareolar gland excision applied for managing different types of gynecomastia. In 23 consecutive patients (46 breasts) treated between February of 2011 and March of 2016. Results: 23 patients (46 breasts) were successfully treated using this technique. Volume aspirated in both breast was 792 ml (range, 450 to 1600 ml). Using the periareolar excision technique, the mean operative time was 55 minutes (range, 45 to 90 minute). Complications were minimal (1.5 % per breasts), and no revisions were required. Conclusions: The modified Combined vibrated power assisted liposuction and the periareolartechnique have demonstrated to be a less time consuming versatileapproach, for the treatment of gynecomastia and consistently produces a smoothcontoured male breast, it is promising method to achieve good aesthetic results in gynecomastia surgerywhile resulting in an inconspicuous scar.

Abstract Objectives Cranioorbital lesions present a great challenge for neurosurgeons and ophthalmologists. There is no consensus on the choice of surgical approach. The aims of this study were to investigate 49 cases of cranioorbital lesions and evaluate surgical approaches and outcomes. Patients and Methods A retrospective study was done on 49 patients (51 operations) from 2009 to 2018. Information about the lesion was used to decide whether the supraorbital eyebrow approach (SEA) or pterional approach (PA) was performed. Results Twenty-eight patients had surgical resection using SEA, 21 patients received PA, each group included one case of recurrence, who underwent reoperation via the same approach. SEA provided better cosmetic satisfaction, and a shorter incision than PA (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in total resection rates, visual outcomes, recovery of ptosis, and other new surgical-related complications between SEA group and PA group (p > 0.05). Forty-nine cases of proptosis (94.1%, 49/51) were improved. Thirty-three patients (33/37, 89.2%) who underwent follow-up for longer than 12 weeks had a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 3. Conclusion Surgery is the preferred treatment for cranioorbital lesions, but total resection is difficult. SEA may be a more minimally invasive option for some more limited lesions superior to optic nerve. PA may be more reasonable for the lesion with obvious hyperostosis and more extensive lesions.

Abstract   The role of corticosteroids in the treatment of tuberculous aetiology pericarditis without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is not well defined. Is unclear if associating corticoids to regular antibiotic therapy for tuberculosis, can prevent the progression of a severe pericardial effusion to constrictive pericarditis. Despite that, in countries where tuberculosis is an endemic disease and mostly it's not related to HIV, the use of corticosteroids is a common practice, as a part of a strategy to avoid progression of a severe pericardial effusion to a constrictive pericarditis. Our aim is to describe the clinical course of the patients with severe pericardial effusion of tuberculous aetiology and no echocardiographic sings of constriction, distinguishing those who used corticosteroids from those who didn't. We conducted a retrospective study, analyzing the clinical files of 40 patients treated in one hospital in a 5 years period (2016–2021). All of these patients were diagnosed whit severe pericardial effusion of tuberculous aetiology and no signs of constrictive pericarditis, they all finished their specific antibiotic treatment protocol according national guidelines and had at least 2 years of clinical follow from the time of the diagnosis. We found that the mean age was 54 years, 55% were men and 45% women. The mean follow up was 2.6 years. In all patients pericardial drainage was preformed, 60.5% using closed pericardiocentesis and 39.5% using open surgical techniques. 22 patients (55%) received prednisone that was initiated whit a dose of 1mg/kg daily that was reduced weekly in order to complete a 2 month cycle. The other 18 patients (45%) didn't received corticosteroids. In the prednisone group, 3 patients develop constrictive pericarditis during the time of follow up (13.6% of the prednisone group) while 7 patients of the non-corticosteroids group (38.8%) develop constrictive pericarditis. These retrospective study shows that there is a potential reduction in the progression to constrictive pericarditis whit the use of prednisone in HIV negative patients whit severe pericardial effusion of tuberculous aetiology, we need to perform prospective, controlled, blind and multicenter studies, designed to evidence the real effect of these strategy.

Abstract Background: In the retro peritoneum different organs of various origins (vascular, nervous, muscular, fascia, etc.) are located. These represent the source of different surgical conditions that cause, even today, serious problems of early diagnosis and treatment. Material and method: We have conducted a retrospective study throughout a period of 8 years (2004-2011). We followed the incidence, the treatment and the evolution of several types of retroperitoneal lesions. Results: In this period 79 cases of retroperitoneal conditions were encountered, representing 0.51% from the total of 15,284 patients admitted and treated within our clinic. The most common cases were those of tumour conditions and retroperitoneal primitive tumours (RPT). Many inflammatory conditions were also encountered. There were a few cases of retroperitoneal overflows or of parasitic diseases and we did not encounter cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis or malacoplaky. Conclusions: In our study the majority of the retroperitoneal conditions were of tumour nature, especially malignant RPTs. Secondary retroperitoneal tumours (adenopathies, metastases, relapses) were less frequent. The excision of the retroperitoneal tumours is delicate, especially due to the vascular factor caused by anatomical conditions and their own vascularisation. On well-chosen cases we can use minimally invasive surgical techniques (laparoscope, punctures and eco-guided drainages), which enable a favorable post-operative evolution.
