Extended Surgical Implication of Tubercle of Zuckerkandl in Total Thyroidectomy.

The primary objective of the study was to assess the Tubercle of zuckerkandl (TZ) during thyroid surgeries and its relationship with RLN and Superior parathyroid (SP). A prospective study was done in, 30 consecutive cases of total thyroidectomy in whom per operatively TZ was identified.

Contrasting Surgical Management of CSF Leak from Lateral Recess of Sphenoid Sinus and Its Surgical Outcomes: Our Experience.

CSF leak from Lateral Recess of Sphenoid (LRS) sinus accounts for 35% of all CSF rhinorrhoea cases. There are various surgical techniques described for repair of LRS CSF leak. This study describes the experience of LRS leak repair in a tertiary care center with three different surgical techniques.

Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm into the Left Atrium with Multiple Fistulous Communications: A Rare Cause of Heart Failure.
