Endoscopic methods play the main role the treatment of bleeding caused by post-radiation colitis and proctitis. Surgical treatment is required for remained approximately 10% of patients. Here we present a 64 year old female with metastatic breast cancer, who was referred to us for intractable rectal bleeding. Total colonoscopy and rigid rectosigmoidoscopy revealed proctitis, rectal and sigmoidal telangiectasis, multiple necrotic ulcers between 15 to 30 cm from the anal verge, and also huge ishemic ulcer with patchy necrotic areas about 10 cm from the anal verge. This abnormal irradiated part was resected and then mucosectomy of the remnant rectum, both transabdominally and transanally was done. We performed pull-through technique of normal proximal colon to anal region through the remnant rectal wall and finally did coloanal anastomosis. Diverting stoma was not made because of anastomosis in anal region. With this technique we can achieve benefits such as avoidance of harsh dissection in a frozen pelvis and its consequences, we can avoid intra-abdominal anastomosis, there is no need to a diverting stoma and, most important of all, definite bleeding control.","PeriodicalId":40379,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Techniques Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41434837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All cranial nerves can give rise to schwannoma except for olfactory and optic nerves, which are devoid of Schwann cell. Schwanommas are usually asymptomatic and present late owing to compression of nerve of origin. We present our study of 19 cases of schwannoma arising from unusual sites in head and neck, having varied presentation and the challenges faced in management of these cases. These cases presented in detail to the department of Ear, Nose and Throat, KEM Hospital, and were thoroughly evaluated clinically and radiologically to formulate a management strategy. Schwannoma of the head and neck is a rare entity but should be considered as differential diagnosis in unilateral nasal mass cases, palatal masses, anterior and lateral neck masses. Nerve of origin may not always be clear preoperatively but the possibility of postoperative loss of nerve function should be kept in mind. Radiological investigations like computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging play a pivotal role in management. In case of nonvascular neck tumours, fine needle aspiration cytology is crucial but has low accuracy in the diagnosis of neural tumors. Histopathology of excised tumour remains the gold standard in diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":40379,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Techniques Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4081/std.2019.7550","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41655721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correction of proclined upper anteriors sometimes leads to deepening of the bite and loss of posterior anchorage resulting in worsening of gingival exposure. Routinely correction of high gingival exposure was done prior to space closure resulting in increased treatment duration. However, application of sound biomechanical strategies can help us overcome these challenges without compromising treatment time. This presentation will describe the meticulous orthodontic biomechanics using a 3-piece intrusion arch to simultaneously correct excessive gingival exposure as well as accomplish space closure. The patient presented with Class I malocclusion with proclined upper anterior teeth, crowding in upper and lower arches and an excessive gingival exposure. Fixed orthodontic therapy was initiated with first premolar extractions and the primary strategies after correcting of the crowding was the effective use of a 3-piece intrusion arch for simultaneous intrusion and retraction of proclined anterior teeth. Biomechanics strategies utilizing the 3 piece intrusion arch effectively aided in closure of spaces, correction of high gingival exposure, intrusion of the upper anteriors and controlling posterior anchorage. All desired treatment outcomes were achieved without prolonging treatment time. Proper biomechanics strategies can effectively bring about true intrusion of the upper anteriors as well as correct the upper incisor proclination without prolonging treatment time. The use of threepiece intrusion arch to achieve orthodontic correction assures the attainment of predictable treatment results. Loss of anchorage is seldom observed because of the tip back moment on the posterior teeth. Another advantage of intrusion mechanics is the control of the vertical dimension.","PeriodicalId":40379,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Techniques Development","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4081/STD.2018.7762","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41923197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are reporting a rare case of sewing needle in esophagus migrating into the prevertebral space at thoracic inlet level.

Patient was posted for rigid esophagoscopy under general anaesthesia, no needle could be visualised and only thread of the sewing needle was removed. So patient was taken up for neck exploration along with gastroenterologists. Further careful dissection confirmed the needle in the pre vertebral space, which was removed successfully with artery forceps. Patient was given IV antibiotics for 10 days. Patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged after 10 days. Pointed metallic slender foreign bodies can perforate and migrate very fast in the neck or chest and can lead to morbidity and mortality.
