The successful closure of the operative wound after removal of the Sinus pilonidalis, is linked, in our opinion, to the application of certain measures that should be taken during surgery. Specifically: 1) careful haemostasis, 2) correct positioning of effective deep drainage with exit into the left gluteal region, 3) diligent suture of the deep layers, 4) correction of tension at operative wound level. Two-year follow-up of 29 of 32 operated patients did not reveal relapses.

The purpose of the current study was to determine the angulation of the dural venous sinuses in soft tissue, to evaluate differences between types of tissue, and to discuss the potential influence of these angulations on intracranial venous hemodynamics and related pathologies. Angulations formed in different segments of the transverse, sigmoid, and superior sagittal sinuses were measured in 13 adult human cadaveric heads (26 sides). After the soft tissues were removed, measurements were also taken from the underlying bone.

Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a vicious arrhythmia usually generated after removal of the aortic cross-clamp (ACC) in patients undergoing open-heart surgery, which could damage cardiomyocytes, especially in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Amiodarone has the prominent properties of converting VF and restoring sinus rhythm. However, few studies concentrated on the effect of amiodarone before ACC release on reducing VF in patients with LVH.

In recent years, transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) has gained widespread recognition as an excellent surgical field for blind spots such as the sinus tympani (ST) when compared to microscopic ear surgery (MES). To investigate the postoperative hearing results for pars tensa cholesteatoma and the indications for utilizing endoscopy. The medical records of 16 patients (10 men and 6 women) with pars tensa cholesteatoma, who received initial surgical treatment between 2018 and 2022, were reviewed.
