Introduction: The Study Aimed To Compare The Results of Cryosurgery With Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical (TCA) Cautery For The Treatment of Hypertrophied Nasal Turbinates.   Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 70 patients with nasal obstruction due to hypertrophied nasal turbinates who were randomly divided in 2 groups of 35 each. In group 1, patients underwent inferior nas...

OBJECT The CO(2) laser has an excellent profile for use in neurosurgery. Its high absorption in water results in low thermal spread, sparing adjacent tissue. Use of this laser has been limited to line-of-sight applications because no solid fiber optic cables could transmit its wavelength. Flexible photonic bandgap fiber technology enables delivery of CO(2) laser energy through a flexible fiber ...

Brunnoma, is a benign tumor of duodenal wall. Usually present with anaemia. Endoscopy stomach and duodenum gives the diagnosis. Pedunculated lesion best managed by endoscopic snare cautery excision. Lesion close to pylorus makes endoscopy difficult. Hence mini-laparotomy, trans-gastric three port endo-luminal harmonic excision was done safely. Keyword: brunnoma, anaemia, endoluminal surgery

Introduction: Tonsillectomy is the most commonly performed surgeries in otolaryngology. Despite evolution surgical and anaesthetic techniques, pain bleeding are still important complications. This study was done to compare following tonsillectomy using monopolar bipolar cautery techniques our population. Methods: It a prospective, longitudinal over period of one year at Gandaki Medical College,...

PURPOSE Surgical equipment used in breast cancer surgery that affects wound healing and minimizes complications seems to be a popular investigation topic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of plasmakinetic cautery on wound healing in patients receiving mastectomy. METHODS Forty-six consecutive breast cancer patients receiving modified radical mastectomy were evaluated prospectiv...

has reported similar observations in a human case of postganglionic Homer's syndrome. The clinical application of long posterior ciliary canal cautery has met with equivocal success in the treatment of glaucoma.' °~ We have found it clinically ineffective in secondary glaucoma. Histologic sections of two such eyes did not reveal closure of the long posterior ciliary arteries one month after tre...

Biliary injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still a serious problem. Injury occurs as a result of technical errors or misidentification of ducts. Inexperience, inflammation, and aberrant anatomy are key risk factors. The most serious technical problem is cautery-induced injury. This problem may be avoided by use of cautery under very low power settings in the triangle of Calot. Miside...
