BACKGROUND The adoption of robotic assistance has contributed to the increased utilization of partial nephrectomy for the management of renal tumors. However, partial nephrectomy can be technically challenging because of intraoperative hemorrhage, which limits the ability to identify the tumor margin and may necessitate the conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. To our knowledge, a ...

INTRODUCTION Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is the inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa persisting for at least 12 weeks. The success of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) depends on minimising oedema and intraoperative bleeding. For this purpose, some surgeons advocate the use of preoperative systemic steroids (SS). Our aim was to assess if the administration of preoperative SS in pa...

Introduction: Surgery for cerebellar hemangioblastoma can be challenging because of the tumor's location in posterior fossa and its inherent nature hypervascularity. Solid HGB show characteristics arteriovenous malformation, internal decompression, or piecemeal resection, harbor risk potentially devastating intraoperative bleeding swelling. Indocyanine green (ICG) is widely used visualizing flo...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate factors contributing to bleeding after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and ways of managing this complication, as bleeding is a serious sequela that requires prompt management. PATIENTS AND METHODS The demographic and procedural data of 200 patients, who underwent unilateral PCNL during a 20-month period, were prospectively collected. Preoperative, operative, and po...

Background: Epiphora and dacryocystitis following nasolacrimal duct obstruction are considered as two widely common complaints among the patients and dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the treatment choice for such conditions. Objective: To determine success rate of DCR with endoscopic and mechanical techniques. Methods: In this prospective analytic study 67 patients were operated during 2000-2003....

Arterioenteric fistula (AEF) on a kidney graft site is a rare cause of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB). Emergency angiography with concomitant endovascular repair is an efficient and safe approach in controlling the acute bleeding and stabilizing patients with life-threatening bleeding from AEF. We report a 42-year-old male who underwent allograft renal transplantation in the rig...

BACKGROUND Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to jejunal angiodysplasia is uncommon. Diagnostic approach is difficult and represents a challenge for the surgeon because of the inaccessibility of the small bowel for evaluation. When the diagnostic work-up has been completed and the bleeding source has not been found, it is mandatory to perform a surgical exploration with transoperative ...

some otolaryngologists administer topical phenylephrine for bleeding control in adenoidectomy surgery. absorption of this drug from surgical site can lead to increase in blood pressure due to vasoconstriction and then bradycardia related to baroreceptore reflex.  our case was an intraoperative arrest of a 9-yrs-old girl related to administration of topical phenylephrine during adenoidectomy how...
