OBJECTIVES It is critical to determine the location and configuration of the mandibular canal and related vital structures during the implant treatment. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature concerning the mandibular canal and inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle anatomical variations related to the implant surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature was selected throug...

The boundaries of the space through which the ulnar neurovascular bundle crosses the wrist have been reinvestigated. Using gross dissections, transverse and sagittal sections, and histologic study, we determined that the roof of Guyon's canal, the "carpal ulnar neurovascular space," does not directly connect to the hamate bone, as is currently accepted. The roof of this space extends radially t...

Introduction: Foreign bodies in the esophagus are considered to be a life-threatening condition in adults and children because of esophageal perforation, chemical pneumonitis, airway obstruction, and development of a fistula, leading to high morbidity and mortality with this condition. Most cases present with immediate symptoms. However, in rare cases, the foreign body can migrate within the t...

Introduction: Neurovascular lesions may cause death or disability. Some of them are operable, but surgical approaches to these lesions are complicated and proper access is crucial. A few numbers of these surgeries occur in every resident education period and their experience for operating these lesions may be quite inadequate. Using new technologies like 3D-restructure of vascular lesion images...

T o neurosurgeons in countries all over the world, the challenge of cerebral aneurysm surgery is exhilarating and gratifying. To successfully clip a difficult aneurysm which can at any instant explode in front of the surgeon’s eyes, threatening the patient’s life, produces the feeling of fulfillment of one’s dream of saving lives that is most satisfying to a physician. It is akin to the “good g...

One of the most common postoperative complications is Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and it’s usually a geriatric’s disease. Although many studies have done, the exact molecular mechanisms of POCD is still largely unknown; nevertheless, neuroinflammation has been increasingly denoted as one of the core mechanisms for the pathogenesis of POCD. As a hypothesize, surgery-i...

Acetabular reconstruction cages are indicated for severe combined segmental and cavitary acetabular bone defects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implications of screw placement and drill plunge and the potential insult to anatomical structures when implanting acetabular reconstruction cages. A segmental cavitary defect was reamed into the acetabulum and a cage was implanted in ea...

The anatomy of axillary neurovascular architechture is very important for neurosurgeon, plastic and cardiovascular surgeons, and also radiologists to aid in diagnosis, treatment and planning surgical procedure. Walsh and Willar were firstly described brachial plexus (BP) anatomy in details from 1877 (Akboru et al, 2010). After rapid development of microsurgical approaches, variations and injuri...

Objective: Optimal surgical indications for cochleovestibular neurovascular compression syndrome (CNVC) remain controversial. We examined the surgical indications and timing of surgery for CNVC. Methods: The surgical outcomes of 30 patients (32 sides) with vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss were evaluated. CNVC was diagnosed according to five items for clinical features with a scoring system of...

Abstract This article introduces the Hatem spade face-lift scissors (HSFS) which are a modification of spatula-tipped originally proposed by Trepsat. tool can be used for safe blunt dissection in facelift surgery and is available three sizes based on surgeon preference. Other tools exist such as dilation wands Dilson Luz dissectors Viterbo. These well suited dissection, however fine sub-SMAS we...
