A 47-year-old patient had lesser development of her left limbs and face, smaller left vascular structures, and severe occlusive disease of the left internal carotid, left subclavian, left vertebral and left iliac arteries. In 12 examples of occlusion of a carotid artery, 10/11 with unequal vascular luminal size had the occlusion on the smaller side. Of 20 patients with severe asymmetrical carot...

Penoscrotal transposition is a rare anomaly of the external genitalia that can be complete or incomplete while incomplete type is more common. Penile torsion is a rotational defect of the penile shaft. Various surgical methods are described for correction of incomplete penoscrotal transposition and penile torsion. Here we are presenting our experience of case of incomplete penoscrotal transposi...

While the anatomy of the coronary arteries in complete transposition of the great vessels has been studied by several authors, the overall problem of adequacy of the coronary blood supply in this condition has received less attention. Spitzer (1923) described the probable embryological basis for partial or complete transposition of the coronary arteries. Astley and Parsons (1952) thought that m...

Abducens palsy is one of the commonly encountered cranial nerve palsies in strabismus clinic. For large-angle esotropia, due to complete abducens palsies, various vertical recti transposition (VRT) procedures have been described. Hummelsheim and Jensen's procedure are especially popular among them. Risk of anterior segment ischemia and induced vertical deviation postVRT prompt to search for bet...

Background: A paper was published in a Chinese medical journal that suggested that the placing of an intact vascularized omental pedicle would increase cerebral blood flow and could decelerate the development of Alzheimer’s disease. However, the paper showed limited support for the operation. The purpose of this paper is to suggest that the lack of enthusiasm for the operation may deserve re-ev...

Eight cases are reported in which complete transposition of the great vessels was associated with varying degrees of hypoplasia of the right ventricle. In three, the correct diagnosis was suspected on the basis of certain electrovectorcardiographic findings and confirmed by selective angiography. Quantitative analysis of ventricular volumes and valve circumferences demonstrated that these cases...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST NONE DECLARED The preservation of ovarian function in young patients after radical hysterectomy has an important role at the post-oncologic management and preserves life quality. Ovarian transposition is a technique in order to avoid irreversible damage to the ovaries caused by irradiation. The principal surgical ways in the transposition of the ovaries is both through lapa...
