Purpose: To describe Reverse four-throw (RFT) technique for pupilloplasty.
Methods: The technique involves making a single pass through the anterior chamber that helps achieve a posteriorly directed suture knot. A single arm 9-0 polypropylene suture attached to long arm needle engages the iris defects with the tip of the needle piercing the iris tissue from the posterior surface and emerging from the anterior aspect.

A large or persistent urethrovesical anastomotic leakage after a laparoscopic or robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) although infrequent can be a difficult complication to treat. We describe a simple technique to facilitate resolution of a urethrovesical anastomotic leak by exchanging the in-place bladder Foley catheter for a pigtail drainage catheter. Between 2014 and 2019, we had three patients who had a large/persistent urine leak after a radical prostatectomy (one laparoscopic and two robot assisted).

Purpose: To describe a surgical technique for performing pupilloplasty.
Methods: In this surgical technique for pupilloplasty, after a single pass of needle through the edges of iris defect along the pupillary margin, the suture end is passed through the loop with 4 throws, creating a helical configuration in modified Siepser slipknot technique that is self-retaining and self-locking.
Results: The technique was performed in 27 cases and the loop did not open in any of the cases in the 6-month follow-up period.

General Hospital of Monselice (Padua), Via G. Marconi 19, Monselice, Padua, Italy.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, through the Scanning Electron Microscopy, the loop closure of four types of stapedial prostheses and to compare the different systems of crimping to the long process of the incus.
Materials And Methods: Four types of stapedial prostheses (one platinum-teflon, two different titanium and one nitinol-teflon pistons) were inserted in 40 specially prepared temporal bones simulating the in vivo stapedotomy procedure. Two pistons were crimped by single manual manoeuvre with a McGee microforceps; the remainders were self-retained and thermal-crimped, respectively.

Purpose: To assess the postoperative outcome in children undergoing pyeloplasty, using a single transanastomotic indigenized stent.
Methods: 329 pyeloplasties were performed by small miniflank incision (3-5 cm) with lateral position for unilateral cases and prone position for bilateral cases during 1993-2009. The procedure involved decompression of the hydronephrotic sac, single layer anastomosis at the PUJ using 5/6-0 suture (reduction of the pelvis if required).
