Surgical correction of aortic coarctation (CoA) has been the standard treatment in infants and adolescents to prevent late consequences related obstruction distal hypoperfusion. Several surgical techniques for CoA repair have traditionally applied. However, complications, including re-CoA pseudoaneurysm formation, are not uncommon. The incidence complications is highly type initial surgery. Her...

The children with Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) have anatomical and physiological challenges of airway management. PRS difficult caused by micrognathia, glossoptosis, cleft palate. patients’ management who is dificult requires attention. Here we present a 5-year-old girl PRS, admitted to our hospital for palate repair surgery. She also had history traсheostomy. Otholaryngologists perform trachest...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This randomized study compared clinical results after surgery for posttraumatic shoulder instability with either an anatomical repair or an older, less anatomical but commonly used method. The less anatomical procedure has been considered quicker and less demanding, but it has been questioned regarding the clinical result. We therefore wanted to compare the clinical outco...

contributions from the medial, lateral, and long heads of the muscle. During the course of performing a triceps tendon repair, we noted a specific deep tendon separate from the more superficial tendon. This observation stimulated us to perform an anatomical study to define the triceps tendon in greater detail. The purpose of this study is to better define the triceps brachii tendon and its inse...

The ZIP technique, a surgical equivalent of the 'Preclose' technique, useful for transcatheter aortic valve implantation or endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is described. While percutaneous closure devices are expensive, need a long learning curve and are associated with primary failure, the ZIP technique is easy and allows a quick, safe and anatomical closure of the artery. This procedure a...

BACKGROUND Unstable simple elbow dislocation (USED) repair is challenged by the maintenance of joint reduction; hence, primary repair or reconstruction of disrupted ligaments is required to maintain the congruency and allow early motion of the elbow. We evaluated the effectiveness and the outcome of lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex repair with additional medial collateral ligament (MCL...

Rectocele is an herniation of the rectum through the rectovaginal fascia and posterior vaginal wall causing a protrusion into the vaginal lumen. It’s a common disorder in women with history of multiple vaginal deliveries and it is asymptomatic in 80% of cases. Symptomatic rectocele is less common, usually affects postmenopausal females, and results in obstructed defecation and constipation. Sur...

We present a model to explain how the neurosecretory system of aquatic mollusks generates their diversity of shell structures and pigmentation patterns. The anatomical and physiological basis of this model sets it apart from other models used to explain shape and pattern. The model reproduces most known shell shapes and patterns and accurately predicts how the pattern alters in response to envi...

Traditional techniques for restoration of a separated acromioclavicular joint are afflicted with various complications and often lead to recurrent dislocation. Lately, anatomic as well as minimally-invasive repair techniques with major focus on restoration of the coracoclavicular ligaments have been described for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction. We present a technique for an arthroscopic...
