Coronal Incision

Eyebrow ptosis is the earliest manifestation of the aging forehead. Surgical procedures to lift the ptotic brow were first published in the early 1900s and since the introduction of the direct brow lift technique, there have been numerous minor refinements to this procedure, as well as some major developments in surgical techniques. It was modified to utilize a mid-forehead or a coronal incision, and then superseded by the endoscopic technique of brow lifting. Yet, with the armory of brow lifting techniques that currently exist, there still is a major role for the direct brow lift, herein described in detail.

Patient Morbidity

A minimal access approach has been one of the most substantial changes to surgery in the last century with most specialties recognizing the endoscopic technique as one that reduces patient morbidity, improves postoperative recovery, and may reduce costs associated with healthcare delivery. In gynaecological laparoscopy, all surgical procedures may be undertaken by this method, although approaches vary and the evidence for individual techniques is qualitatively disparate. Whenever possible, it is recommended that an evidence-based practical application of surgery be followed and this chapter considers the evidence about gynaecological laparoscopy. It will follow options for managing the laparoscopy patient, rather than focusing on individual procedures. The evidence will be addressed according to both quality and volume. It is outside of the scope to consider all possible surgical techniques and the chapter appraises the various aspects of care that are common to gynaecological laparoscopy in a logical and sequential manner.

Probably because the thrust of the pathology of the aging face has been attributed to the effects of gravity (skin and muscle loosening and falling), treatment of such is generally directed toward lifting procedures. Indeed, results from such procedures are generally beneficial, but in many cases the patient appears unnaturally skeletonized. A brow-lift may eliminate some wrinkles and frown lines, but does anyone (naturally youthful) really have eyebrows a centimeter above the orbital rim? Our goal has been, and continues to be, to strive for excellence, and in the case of the aging face, this would be an improved and more youthful appearance. This paper will discuss the main pathology of the appearance of aging, which is the general dissipation of facial fat over time. It will also provide discussion as to thoughtful correction of the problem not only with lifting techniques but also with consideration to filling procedures. The judicial use of fat-grafting and various synthetic implants serve as the principal tools for volume correction. It is acknowledged that the skin undergoes photo-damage, which also contributes to the appearance of aging, but this is treated by treating the skin in a multitude of ways.

Cranio vertebral (CV) junction is one of the critical sites for surgery. It's anatomy, physiological aspects and pathological involvement varies in a wide range of margins. Common problems are developmental anomalies, traumatic involvement, inflammatory, infective and neoplastic lesion. Management of these problems varies a lot from each other. Aim of the article is to overview the pathologies in this area and to study presentations, investigations, surgical procedures and results of these pathologies. We prospectively analyzed 32 cases of Cranio-vertebral (CV) region surgery in the Department of Neurosurgery Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, from 2000 to 2008. In our series, male and female ratio was 7.2:1. Pathologies were atlanto- axial dislocation (AAD), Chiari malformation type –I, schwannoma, meningioma, hydatid cyst and tuberculosis. Common clinical findings were- neck pain, quadriparesis, quadriplegia, hand atrophy, autonomic dysfunction and hypertension. Various types of surgical procedures were done in this series according to the pathology. Death was in 01 case, neurological deterioration seen in one case, 2 cases were neurologically stable and 28 cases (87.5%) improved neurologically where one was non useful improvement (Frankel grade-C). Complete pre operative radiological study is a very important adjunct for a successful surgical result. Proper evaluation of patients with selection of appropriate surgical procedures along with safe surgical techniques are the necessary things for successful surgery in this area.

Background/Aim. Gingival recession progression in clinical practaice has influenced the development of various surgical procedures and techniques for solving esthetic imperfections and subjective difficulties coused by gingival recession. The aim of this study was to verify efficacy of surgical procedures and to compare both of surgical procedures through the keratinized tissue width. Methods. The study included 20 teeth with gingival recesion, M?ller class I and II. Ten teeth with gingival recession were treated with connective tissue autotransplants with periosteum in combination with coronary guided surgical flap (CTG group). On the contralateral side 10 teeth with gingival recession were treated with the same surgical procedures but in combination with platelet-rich plasma (CTGPRP group). We measured the keratinized tissue width. For statistical significance we used the Student's t-test. Results. The study reveled a statistical significance in reducing vertical deepress of recession by both used treatments. Root deepness in CTG and CTG-PRP group was 90% and 93.5%, respectively. With both surgical techniques we achieved larger zone of keratinized gingiva but with a wide zone of keratinized tissue in CTG - the PRP group. Conclusion. The concept regeneration technique with PRP and with the stimulating influence of platele activated growth factors results in the regeneration of deep periodontal tissue as an important prerequisite for the successful treatment of gingival recession.

Purpose: Laparoscopy is gaining popularity over laparotomy in various surgical conditions. Now a day, an increasing number of diagnostic and therapeutic surgical procedures are being done laparoscopically. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy in children.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital over a period of 52 (Fifty two) months from June 2009 to August 2013. A total of 123 patients were operated laparoscopically up to 12 years of age for different surgical conditions. Data was collected from the hospital records and analyzed retrospectively.Results: Out of these 123 laparoscopically performed cases, Appendectomy was performed in 39 cases, closure of internal inguinal ring for Inguinal Hernia was done in 36 patients, 20 patients underwent Cholecystctomy, 16 patients had laparoscopic procedures for impalpable Undescended Testis (UDT), 5 patients were operated for Adnexal Mass of which one case was converted into open procedure due to technical difficulties and 1 for Pancreatic Pseudo cyst. Diagnostic Laparoscopy was performed for 2 patients with Biliary Atresia and 4 patients for Ambiguous Genitalia. Median age of the patients was 6.08 years (ranging from 2 months to 12 years of age). The length of post operative hospital stay was 2-3 days. All the laparoscopic procedures for Inguinal Hernia and impalpable UDT were performed as day care surgery. Operative and post operative complications were minimal. Other advantages of the laparoscopic procedures were smaller incisions, incidental diagnosis of other associated pathology, lesser post operative pain, earlier oral feeding, quicker mobilization and a better cosmetic result.Conclusion: With the recent development of laparoscopic surgical techniques and equipments, laparoscopic surgical procedures are becoming popular day by day and can be performed safely for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in pediatric surgical patients.J.

AbstractIncreasing surgical refinement of procedures to meet both biologic and esthetic demands of patients is seen in today's periodontal practice. For these new technologies, instruments, and surgical techniques are necessary. Technical skills of the clinician are challenged by the limit of range of visual acuity. Periodontal microsurgery improves the outcome of basic periodontal surgical procedures by enhancing normal vision through magnification along with favorable lighting system. It gives enhanced outcomes not possible with traditional macrosurgery in terms of passive wound closure and reduced tissue trauma. The purpose of this review is to provide brief knowledge of periodontal microsurgery: the role of magnification, microsurgical instrumentation and applications of microsurgery.

Surgical Treatments

Joint replacement is often considered the surgical treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). However, several other surgical treatments, of which some are more frequently performed, have been advocated for patients with OA in order to relieve symptoms, stall progression, and avoid or postpone joint replacement. This chapter briefly describes the most common procedures such as knee and hip arthroscopy and knee and hip osteotomy. It also reviews the evidence for the efficacy of these treatments compared with non-surgical alternatives, which is frequently insufficient due to lack of controlled low-risk-of-bias studies. The risk of adverse events is also reported when data is available. Some of the more recent surgical techniques such as implantation of chondrocytes or stem cells are also described and discussed but their utility for treating osteoarthritis remains uncertain. There is a great need for continued innovation and development of surgical techniques for managing in particular the earlier stages of osteoarthritis. To reduce the risk of future costly failures, a stepwise introduction of new surgical procedures and devices must be encouraged.
