A remarkable dental case is documented in this video: the removal of a very large number of extra teeth from a young patient's mouth during oral surgery. Such cases involve supernumerary teeth — teeth beyond the normal count — and are treated by dental surgeons. Presented for dental education. Educational only — not medical advice.
This video presents clinical footage of a colon examination. The recording shows the examination as it is performed in a medical setting, documented for educational purposes. Colon examination allows doctors to inspect the large intestine as part of investigating bowel symptoms. It is a standard investigation in gastroenterology.
Rubber band ligation is a procedure in which the hemorrhoid is tied off at its base with rubber bands, cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid. This treatment is only for internal hemorrhoids. To do this procedure, a doctor inserts a viewing instrument (anoscope) into the anus. The hemorrhoid is grasped with an instrument, and a device places a rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid. The hemorrhoid then shrinks and dies and, in about a week, falls off. A scar will form in place of the hemorrhoid, holding nearby veins so they don't bulge into the anal canal. The procedure is done in a doctor's office. You will be asked whether the rubber bands feel too tight. If the bands are extremely painful, a medicine may be injected into the banded hemorrhoids to numb them. After the procedure, you may feel pain and have a sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen. Or you may feel as if you need to have a bowel movement. Treatment is limited to 1 to 2 hemorrhoids at a time if done in the doctor's office. Several hemorrhoids may be treated at one time if the person has general anesthesia. Additional areas may be treated at 4- to 6-week intervals.
