Intriguing Encounter: Retrieval of a Crescent-Shaped Metallic Foreign Body From the Maxillofacial Region.

This case report presents the clinical details and management of a 40-year-old male welder who presented with a foreign body lodged in his left malar region for eight months following a work-related injury. The patient experienced persistent pain, intermittent swelling, and occasional discharge, prompting medical evaluation. Radiographic imaging confirmed the presence of a metallic object, and surgical exploration under local anesthesia led to successful removal.

Pyloric atresia--three cases and review of literature.

Pyloric atresia (PA) is a rare congenital anomaly that constitutes approximately 1% of all intestinal atresias, and its incidence is approximately 1 in 100,000 live births. PA may occur as an isolated condition or associated with other abnormalities, the most common being Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB). Evidence suggests that PA-EB (Pyloric Atresia - Epidermolysis Bullosa) Syndrome is a distinct entity.

Should the ovary always be conserved in torsion? A tertiary care institute experience.

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze our experience in conserving ovarian tissue in cases of ovarian torsion, irrespective of grade of necrosis at exploration.

Materials And Methods: All children with a diagnosis of ovarian torsion admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to January 2013 were included. Patients with underlying ovarian pathology were excluded.

Trocarless laparoscopic pyloromyotomy with conventional instruments: Our experience.

Background: The incidence of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is approximately 1-3 per 1,000 live births. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is seen more often in males, with a male-to female ratio of 4:1. Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy is becoming increasingly popular as the standard treatment for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
