Abstract
Safety in the operating room environment should be a priority for every surgeon. Two areas where safety can often be overlooked and taken for granted are patient positioning and electrosurgical use. Understanding neuroanatomical relationships can help the surgeon optimally position patients and mini...

Abstract
We report a 41-year-old male smoker with dyspnea and wheezing that was initially diagnosed as asthma and treated with bronchodilators. He was later intubated for acute respiratory failure, and computed tomography revealed a tracheal mass. Solitary primary small-cell lung cancer was diagnosed via bro...

Abstract
A total of 37 (5.5%) patients developed a recurrence, and those who developed a recurrence tested positive for the same high-risk (HR) HPV genotype before and after the LEEP. The same HR-HPV genotype by the HDC during the follow-up had a sensitivity and negative predictive value of 100% for detectin...

Abstract
Tumors, usually basal cell carcinoma, originate mainly in the lower eyelid and medial canthus. Surgery should be performed as soon as possible after onset of the primary tumors and should include resection and reconstructive therapy. The highest risk of recurrence is in case of squamous cell and bas...
