Shoulder Exam
I think that the most daunting aspect of the shoulder exam is appreciating the functional anatomy of this incredibly mobile joint. The primary benefit of the ball and socket arrangement is that it allows the hand to be positioned precisely in space, maximizing our ability to function. In terms of functionality, the shoulder might be best described as having a golf ball-on-a-tee design.
Location Of The Muscle Groups Is Approximated In The Pictures Above.
Start by looking at the normal (or more normal) side. Note any scars, obvious asymmetry, discoloration, swelling, or muscle asymmetry.
Palpation
Gently palpate around the shoulder, touching each of the landmarks noted above. Make note of pain.
Robotic surgery was developed to facilitate endoscopic surgery and overcome its disadvantage. Thus, we performed robotic Total Mesorectal Excison (TME) in patient with rectal cancer by using the Intuitive Surgical® da Vinci surgicalTM system (Intuitive Surgical®, Sunnyvale, CA). To our knowledge, ...this is the first robotic low anterior resection base on standard TME principle with pelvic autonomic preservation. In conclusion, Robotic system is the best operative instrument for performing the standard TME procedure in rectal cancer patients.
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short, simple, successful and inexpensive laparoscopic gastric bypass weight loss surgery. The operation usually takes only 30 min., hospitalization less than 24 hours. The Mini Gastric Bypass is low risk, has excellent long term weight loss, minimal pain and can b...e easily reversed or revised.
Various laparoscopic techniques have been described for the insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheters. However, most use 3 to 4 ports, thus multiplying the potential risk for abdominal wall complications (hemorrhage, hernia, leaking). With the technique presented herein a Tenckhoff catheter is plac...ed laparoscopically, using just 1 port, in 13 consecutive patients with end-stage renal failure. The catheter is fixed in the abdominal cavity with no additional ports for this purpose. The simplicity and the rapidity of the method justifies serious consideration for its use as the standard Tenckhoff catheter placement.
Repair techniques for various types of asymmetric pectus excavatum are illustrated. Morphology-tailored bar shaping and selecting the hinge points are key elements of the technique. Repair of two cases on an eccentric type and unbalanced type according to "Park Classification" was demonstrated.
parotidectomy has always been considered to be a daunting aesthetic surgical exercise reuiring extreme care to safeguard the facial nerve. most surgeons master the skill with experience and effort and develop thier own tips and tricks for safe conduct of the procedure. details of the procedure along... with practical tips are illustrated in the video for the benefit of head neck surgeons
Allograft material is placed submucosally to expand tissue to simulate turbinate tissue. It is placed in a location to direct the airstream toward "virgin" tissue that can sense airflow. Empty Nose Syndrome (ENS) is an iatrogenic disease characterized by paradoxical obstruction: a hugely patent no...

This shows a full Abdominoplasty surgery performed by Dr. Art Foley in Olympia Washington. Abdominoplasty is also commonly referred to as a "Tummy Tuck." Tummy tuck is a surgical procedure also known as abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and fat from the middle and lower abdomen and to tighten the muscles of the abdominal wall. The procedure can dramatically reduce the appearance of a protruding abdomen. But bear in mind, it does produce a permanent scar.
