Description: Use warm water and sea salt. Soak the wart for 10 to 15 minutes in warm salt water to moisten the skin. Scrape the dead skin layers off the wart using a nail file, pumice stone or mild sandpaper. You could also use your fingers, but wash them thoroughly before and after, as warts can easily spread.

3:47 Risk of laparoscopy
Laparoscopy (from Ancient Greek ฮปฮฑฯฮฌฯฮฑ (lapรกra) 'flank, side', and ฯฮบฮฟฯฮญฯ (skopรฉล) 'to see') is an operation performed in the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions (usually 0.5โ1.5 cm) with the aid of a camera. The laparoscope aids diagnosis or therapeutic interventions with a few small cuts in the abdomen.[1]
Laparoscopic surgery, also called minimally invasive procedure, bandaid surgery, or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique. There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an exploratory laparotomy. These include reduced pain due to smaller incisions, reduced hemorrhaging, and shorter recovery time. The key element is the use of a laparoscope, a long fiber optic cable system that allows viewing of the affected area by snaking the cable from a more distant, but more easily accessible location.
Laparoscopic surgery includes operations within the abdominal or pelvic cavities, whereas keyhole surgery performed on the thoracic or chest cavity is called thoracoscopic surgery. Specific surgical instruments used in laparoscopic surgery include obstetrical forceps, scissors, probes, dissectors, hooks, and retractors. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery belong to the broader field of endoscopy. The first laparoscopic procedure was performed by German surgeon Georg Kelling in 1901. There are two types of laparoscope:[2]
A telescopic rod lens system, usually connected to a video camera (single-chip or three-chip)
A digital laparoscope where a miniature digital video camera is placed at the end of the laparoscope, eliminating the rod lens system
The mechanism mentioned in the second type is mainly used to improve the image quality of flexible endoscopes, replacing conventional fiberscopes. Nevertheless, laparoscopes are rigid endoscopes. Rigidity is required in clinical practice. The rod-lens-based laparoscopes dominate overwhelmingly in practice, due to their fine optical resolution (50 ยตm typically, dependent on the aperture size used in the objective lens), and the image quality can be better than that of the digital camera if necessary. The second type of laparoscope is very rare in the laparoscope market and in hospitals.[citation needed]
Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a "cold" light source (halogen or xenon) to illuminate the operative field, which is inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar. The abdomen is usually insufflated with carbon dioxide gas. This elevates the abdominal wall above the internal organs to create a working and viewing space. CO2 is used because it is common to the human body and can be absorbed by tissue and removed by the respiratory system. It is also non-flammable, which is important because electrosurgical devices are commonly used in laparoscopic procedures.[3]
Procedures

Patient position
During the laparoscopic procedure, the position of the patient is either in Trendelenburg position or in reverse Trendelenburg. These positions have an effect on cardiopulmonary function. In Trendelenburg's position, there is an increased preload due to an increase in the venous return from lower extremities. This position results in cephalic shifting of the viscera, which accentuates the pressure on the diaphragm. In the case of reverse Trendelenburg position, pulmonary function tends to improve as there is a caudal shifting of viscera, which improves tidal volume by a decrease in the pressure on the diaphragm. This position also decreases the preload on the heart and causes a decrease in the venous return leading to hypotension. The pooling of blood in the lower extremities increases the stasis and predisposes the patient to develop deep vein thrombosis (DVT).[4]
Gallbladder
Rather than a minimum 20 cm incision as in traditional (open) cholecystectomy, four incisions of 0.5โ1.0 cm, or more recently, a single incision of 1.5โ2.0 cm,[5] will be sufficient to perform a laparoscopic removal of a gallbladder. Since the gallbladder is similar to a small balloon that stores and releases bile, it can usually be removed from the abdomen by suctioning out the bile and then removing the deflated gallbladder through the 1 cm incision at the patient's navel. The length of postoperative stay in the hospital is minimal, and same-day discharges are possible in cases of early morning procedures.[citation needed]

Musculoskeletal Physical Examination Lecture
Welcome to the latest episode of our Plastic Surgery Podcast!
In this episode, we discuss one of the most common cosmetic procedures in India - Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction surgery.
Join us as we explore the causes, treatments, and personal experiences related to this condition.
Questions Answered in the Podcast:
โ
2:04 What is Gynecomastia, and how common is it?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men, affecting one in seven men.
โ
3:40 What causes Gynecomastia?
Common causes include hormonal imbalances during adolescence and the misuse of anabolic steroids. Other causes include certain medications like spironolactone and finasteride.
โ
4:12 Can Gynecomastia be treated without surgery?
While weight loss can reduce fat, glandular tissue requires surgical intervention for complete removal. Medications like Tamoxifen may block estrogen effects but cannot remove existing glandular tissue.
โ
5:25 How is Gynecomastia diagnosed?
It can be diagnosed through physical examination, clinical signs like enlarged areolas, and ultrasound if necessary.
โ
9:16 How is Gynecomastia graded, and why is it important?
Gynecomastia is graded into four stages, which helps in planning the appropriate surgical approach. Grades range from mild enlargement to severe feminization of the chest.
โ
10:15 What are the surgical techniques for treating Gynecomastia?
Techniques range from traditional subcutaneous mastectomy to advanced procedures using peri-areolar incisions to our unique technique of lateral chest incisions to minimize scarring.
โ
14:13 What is the recovery process like post-surgery?
Patients can generally resume normal activities within a week, with full recovery and visible results in about six weeks. Compression garments are recommended for six weeks to aid in skin tightening.
โ
16:02 What are the social and psychological impacts of Gynecomastia?
Many men experience social embarrassment, reduced self-confidence, and mental health issues due to the condition.
โ
18:00 Are there any risks or complications?
Risks include bleeding, infection, and seroma formation. Choosing an experienced surgeon and a proper medical facility can minimize these complications.
โ
20:22 Will insurance cover Gynecomastia surgery?
Generally, Gynecomastia surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance, although functional benefits exist.
โ
21:40 Can Gynecomastia recur after surgery?
Recurrence is rare unless there are ongoing hormonal imbalances or continued use of medications that affect hormones. Proper pre-surgery assessment helps in minimizing the risk of recurrence.
โ
23:28 How does one choose the right surgeon and facility?
To ensure safe and effective surgery, it is important to assess the surgeonโs qualifications, the facilityโs standards, and the use of advanced technologies.
โ
25:00 What is the importance of a supportive environment for patients?
A supportive environment, including informed parents and friends, can significantly enhance the patientโs confidence and post-surgery recovery experience.

A visual prosthesis, often referred to as a bionic eye, is an experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision in those suffering from partial or total blindness. In 1983 Joao Lobo Antunes, a Portuguese doctor, implanted a bionic eye in a person born blind.

Acute sinusitis can be triggered by a cold or allergies and may resolve on its own. Chronic sinusitis lasts up to eight weeks and may be caused by an infection or growths. Symptoms include headache, facial pain, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Acute sinusitis usually doesn't require any treatment beyond symptomatic relief with pain medications, nasal decongestants, and nasal saline rinses. Chronic sinusitis may require antibiotics.
