Background Subclavian and axillary arteries true aneurysms are rarely seen. The best incision for surgical approach is median sternotomy for intrathoracic right subclavian artery aneurysm, left thoracotomy for intrathoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm and supraclavicular incision for extrathoracic ones. Many surgeons approaches as subclavicular incision, subclavicular incision extending to ...

BACKGROUND Patients who undergo carpal tunnel surgery sometimes complain of the restriction of the grip and pinch function, palmar tenderness, cosmetic problems, and scar formation at the site of the incision. AIMS We used a modified mini uni-skin incision with appropriate hand position for microscopic view in the surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome to prevent cosmetic problems relat...

Introduction: Infarction is a very rare complication of fibroadenoma. Diagnosis such situation not easy. Case Presentation: 23-year-old woman with painful tumor the right breast mild erythema at periareolar region. Breast ultrasound shows heterogeneous lesion 31×30 mm, in retroareolar well-defined borders, and does present vascular flow inside. Antibiotic treatment was administered without impr...

Effects of incision angle in construction of clear corneal cataract incision are studied with optical coherence tomography (OCT). A stable incision angle range is found to be existent for single-planed, clear corneal cataract incisions. When well pressurized, incision angles within this stable range result in well-apposed incision edges that resist gapping while incision angles falling outside ...

Random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA) and ductal lavage (DL) are research techniques developed to (1) assess short-term breast cancer risk in asymptomatic women who are at increased risk for breast cancer and (2) track cytological response to risk reduction strategies. RPFNA and DL provide minimally invasive methods to repeatedly sample epithelial cells and research tools to investi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this procedure was to definitively treat periductal mastitis and periareolar sepsis which was previously resistant to multiple surgical procedures and nonoperative treatment of chronic nipple sepsis. METHODS We employed a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of end-stage periductal mastitis using a combination of central breast excision and immediate autologous lat...

BACKGROUND Guarding pain after rat plantar incision is similar to pain at rest in postoperative patients. Spontaneous activity (SA) in nociceptive pathways quite likely transmits such ongoing pain. This study examined the extent of tissue injury by incision on pain behaviors and nociceptor SA. METHODS Rat pain behaviors were measured after a sham procedure, skin incision, or skin plus deep ti...
