Surgical Dissection of the Facial nerve in Parotidectomy: Our Personal Experience

The use of surgical glue in acute type A aortic dissection.

Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) remains a lethal disease. With advances in operative methods and perioperative management, surgical outcomes continue to improve, but in-hospital mortality still ranges from 10 to 30% in most series.

Best surgical option for arch extension of type B dissection: the endovascular approach.

Despite advances in surgical techniques and postoperative management, the in-hospital mortality rate for patients undergoing conventional open surgical repair for type B dissections is still significant. In light of this, the less invasive surgical procedure for acute type B aortic dissections, defined as thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), was developed. Despite some controversy, the ...
