The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in replanted rat upper first molars, through histological analysis, the effect of splinting upon postoperative events related to the tooth and its supporting structures.

INTRODUCTION Surgery for revision of cochlear implantation is an unusual but not uncommon occurrence. The purpose of this study was to discuss the major complications of cochlear implantation that we observed in 11out of 275 patients who underwent cochlear implantation in Khalili Hospital at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 275patients w...

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem in women. Successful treatment is now mid urethral sling but it would be a cause of urethral obstruction. In this case report, a 50 years old woman presented with a huge introitus mass after 3 months of midurethral sling. The mass protruded from the urethra and could not be reduced. Emergency MRI of pelvis was demonstrated prolapsed ureteroc...

Laparoscopic procedures have usually been employed as an alternative to open surgery for the management of several urologic problems. Laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy is rarely reported despite the description of different techniques. Ramalingam et al. described a 3case series of successful laparoscopic Boari flap ureteral reimplantations. Gao el al. also described a 3-case series of laparosco...

Anomalous right coronary artery (ARCA) from left sinus of Valsalva could present in several forms either being intramural or extramural, and most occurring with separate ostium from left coronary system. ARCA originating from the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is very rare and treatments proposed for this type of anomaly are pulmonary artery translocation or coronary artery bypass grafting (C...

INTRODUCTION Retrograde ejaculation is not a recognized complication of ureteric reimplantation surgery. We describe this unusual complication in a 25-year-old man, with no other cause for his ejaculatory dysfunction. CASE PRESENTATION A 25-year-old Caucasian man presented with left hydronephrosis ascribed to a megaureter. Following open reimplantation of the ureter, the patient developed ret...

Ureteric strictures can be caused by traumatic pelvic surgery, urolithiasis and instrumentation. There are various treatment options for ureteric stricture, including laparoscopic ureteric reimplantation. A 56-year-old female with a history of chronic left pelviureteric junction obstruction presented with urosepsis secondary to right-sided urolithiasis. The patient had a left nephrectomy and de...

Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion is a challenging complication traditionally managed with device removal and Foley catheter drainage. Urethral stricture can result secondary to the healing process, delaying AUS reimplantation. In situ urethroplasty (ISU) technique is a definitive repair at the time of device removal. Early results demonstrate a decreased rate of stricture formati...
