Surgeons rely on laparoscopic images to perform surgical tasks in laparoscopic surgery. However, learning how to maneuver the laparoscope is often overlooked by current surgical training systems. In this study, we identify the explicit instructions made by surgeons to guide residents in making useful images in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These instructions reflect the most common problems for...

Recently, diagnoses of and operations for medial orbital blowout fracture have increased because of the development of imaging technology. In this article, the authors review the literature, and overview the accumulated knowledge about the orbital anatomy, fracture mechanisms, surgical approaches, reconstruction materials, and surgical methods. In terms of surgical approaches, transcaruncular, ...

background depending on the cause, 40-90% of every deep dermis insult ends up in scar formation. several modalities have been suggested as a treatment but a high rate of recurrence is reported in most of those interventions. high dose radiotherapy has been shown to be effective in reducing the recurrence rate. this study tried to determine the effectiveness of low dose rate radiotherapy followi...

background deep venous thrombosis (dvt) is a major risk of morbidity and mortality in morbid obese patients underwent bariatric surgery. there are some controversies in different kind of prophylactic strategies for dvt in laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. unfractionated heparin (ufh) is an available and reversible anticoagulant used for dvt prophylaxis. objectives this study aimed to compare cl...

results the mean age of patients was 16.7 ± 2.5 years. there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding gender, age, curve before surgery, and percentage of flexibility. the mean curvature was 70 ± 20.7 in the hr and 64.81 ± 19.4 in the cd group before surgery (p = 0.09); and the mean curvature was 40 ± 16.3 and 26.58 ± 15.37 in hr and cd groups respectively af...

A study was conducted to examine the changes in performance and communication pattern within the OR team as a result of the introduction of a new technology – a remote master-slave surgical robot. A detailed analysis of the information flow during a cholecystectomy procedure with and without the robot revealed large disparities in terms of the amount and type of information required by the surg...
