Aluminum Chloride versus Electrocauterization in Periapical Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 hemostatic agents in periapical surgery and its relationship with patient- and tooth-dependent variables.A prospective study was designed with 2 randomized parallel groups established according to the hemostatic agent used: aluminum chloride or electrocauterization. The surgeon and 2 independent blinded observers examined the initial and final bleeding and recorded it as 0 (no hemorrhage control), 1 (slight but apparent intermittent bleeding), or 2 (complete hemorrhage control). The following patient- and tooth-dependent variables were collected: sex, age, smoking habit, plaque index, and position.Sixty patients with a periapical lesio…
Gasless laparoscopy with conventional surgical instruments
1996
The main advantages of gasless laparoscopy arise from the use of conventional laparotomy instruments (clamps, scissors and needle pushers). The operative time, for example, for hysterectomy procedures decreases to about 60% of the time taken hysterectomy for using conventional gas techniques. During cauterization, smoke escapes immediately through the open trocars and may even be suctioned using a conventional suction tube. As far as the nursing team is concerned, the equipment is familiar as they use the same instruments and the same sutures as in laparotomy. High respiration pressure, caused by the elevated abdominal pressure, as well as hypercapnia, are avoided. Therefore this procedure …
Endoscopic treatment of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus.
2020
Background Ectopic teeth in maxillary sinus is rare and are usually removed via sub-labial trans-canine fossa approach (SLCFA). The aim of our study was to present our experience with extraction of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus via transnasal endoscopic approach (TEA). Material and methods Rhinologists were asked to share their experience in the management of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus. Data were reviewed retrospectively. Results Eleven cases were reported in 10 patients from 2010 to 2019, six males and four females with a mean age of 33.5 +/-17 years (range 16 to 61). Seven patients complained of sinonasal symptoms, two were diagnosed incidentally during routine dental wor…
