Ameloblastoma or adamantinoma is a benign odontogenic tumour arising in facial bones mostly in mandible. There are different modalities of treatment for ameloblastoma viz. chemotherapy, radiation therapy, curettage and liquid nitrogen but surgical resection or enucleation remains the most definitive treatment for this condition. After surgical excision mandibular defect can be reconstructed by non vascularised bone graft or free tissue transfer. we are presenting a detailed study of 50 patients in which mandible was reconstructed with non vascularised split rib graft after surgical resection of ameloblastoma. This is easy, less time consuming and requires no expertise with excellent results.

Background: There is indication that the fallopian tubes might be involved in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and their removal reduces cancer risk. Hence, bilateral salpingectomy during hysterectomy or sterilization, so called opportunistic salpingectomy (OS), is gaining wide acceptance as a preventive strategy. Recently, it was discussed whether implementation of OS at other gynecologic surgery, e.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

We present our experience with FBCA, focusing on clinical presentation, diagnosis, perioperative relation to the facial nerve, surgical approach, complications and patient satisfaction.

Methods: A consecutive cohort of 16 patients undergoing surgical treatment for FBCA between 1999 and 2021 was analyzed.
