Introduction: Celiac artery (CA) dissection due to blunt abdominal trauma is extremely rare and, as such, the clinical features of this potentially life-threatening injury have not been clearly defined, nor have treatment strategies been established.
Presentation Of Case: We describe the case of a 61-year-old man who presented to our emergency department after a motor vehicle accident. Although the patient did not report abdominal pain, enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed CA dissection. The patient was treated conservatively using antiplatelet therapy and was discharged from the hospital on day 8, without complications.
Discussion: As abdominal pain is not a common presenting factor of CA dissection after blunt trauma, it should be suspected as a potential injury in all affected patients and comprehensively assessed, with CT being the most useful diagnostic modality.
Conclusion: In the absence of any signs of organ ischemia, changes in the CA aneurysm, and persistent, severe abdominal pain following blunt abdominal trauma, conservative treatment is indicated, with or without anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy.

The plane running between two adjacent pulmonary segments consists of a very thin layer of connective tissue through which the pulmonary vein also runs. To perform an anatomically correct segmentectomy, this segmental plane needs to be divided. Before the operation, the locations of vessels and bronchi are confirmed by three-dimensional computed tomography.

Objectives: During holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP), blunt dissection (BD) by pushing the tip of the scope may exert mechanical force on the sphincter that could be avoided by adopting laser dissection (LD). This study evaluates the continence recovery in consecutive patients who underwent BD and LD.
Methods: A prospective cohort of patients who underwent LD was compared with a retrospective control that underwent BD.

The aim of this study was to define the branching patterns and innervation regions of the superficial branch of the radial nerve and the dorsal branch of the ulnar nerve and to evaluate the distance from 1-2, 3-4, 4-5, midcarpal radial, midcarpal ulnar, dorsal radioulnar joint, 6-radial, 6-ulnar dorsal arthroscopy portals to certain landmarks on the dorsal surface of the hand and wrist. Forty hands and wrists of 20 formalin-fixed intact cadavers without any known pathology, surgical scars or trauma were examined in the Macroscopy Laboratory of Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. Arthroscopy portals were placed using a dorsal approach to the wrist in the dissection method.

Objective: Cesarean sections (CS) are among the most performed surgical procedures in the world. Small variations in surgical techniques could have a significant impact on a global scale, for example, in postoperative complications. In the present study we aimed to observe and audit every single step used during first time CS.
