Abstract:
SUMMARY Longer oestrous cycles result from neonatal hysterectomy than from hysterectomy in adult life. Section and cauterization of the utero-vaginal union also prolonged the vaginal closure period up to an average of 55 days. The destruction of the mesometrium did not lengthen the oestrous cycle. Uterine autografts in hysterectomized newborn guinea-pigs did not prevent the long cycles.Keywords:

OBJECTIVE: To probe and systematize the ancient cauterization with pyropuncture needle for evacuation of pus. METHODS: One hundred and eight cases of body surface abscess were randomly divided into 2 groups. The cauterization group (n=84) were treated by drainage with electric cauterization and the incision group (n=24) by drainage with incision. Clinical therapeutic effect, the healing time and the scar area of the wound were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All of the patients in the two groups were effective with a similar therapeutic effect (P > 0.05); the cauterization group in the healing time and the scar area of the wound was superior to the incision group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Electric cauterization for evacuation of pus has advantages of rapid healing and small scar area of wound.

BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common benign vascular neoplasia. Optimal treatment should have an aesthetically pleasant scar and a low recurrence rate. No treatment method that is fully effective in solving these has been demonstrated. Silver nitrate cauterization is another method for the management of PG lesions. OBJECTIVE The effects of silver nitrate on the treatment of PG have not been sufficiently investigated and should be investigated with objective data and a controlled study. METHODS The prospective clinical trial was designed to compare silver nitrate cauterization with surgical excision treatment. Procedure times and procedure costs, comfort and satisfaction scales, recurrences, the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Score, and the Vancouver Scar Scale were compared to evaluate treatments. RESULTS Silver nitrate treatment had lower procedure times, costs, and better satisfaction and comfort scale scores. The scar assessment scores were better for the silver nitrate treatment. The patients in both groups were successfully treated and no recurrence was seen. CONCLUSION Silver nitrate cauterization is low-cost, fast, safe, reliable, and effective with good aesthetic results for the treatment of PG lesions. This study shows that silver nitrate cauterization is a good alternative to surgical excision in the management of PG.

To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic cauterization as definitive treatment for fourth branchial cleft sinuses.Retrospective chart review with follow-up questionnaire.Tertiary care children's hospital.Ten children (age range, 10 months to 10 years) with fourth branchial cleft sinuses treated with endoscopic cauterization between 1995 and 2002.Recurrence of neck infections after endoscopic cauterization of fourth brachial cleft sinus tracts.Seven of the 10 patients treated with endoscopic cauterization of the fourth branchial cleft sinuses showed no recurrence with an average follow-up of 3 years. Three of the patients were unavailable for follow-up, but medical records of the hospital showed no additional admissions for those patients for neck masses. No morbidity of the procedure was identified. All patients were discharged the day of surgery.Endoscopic cauterization of fourth branchial cleft sinuses appears to be an effective alternative to open excision.

Posterior epistaxis management remains a challenge. Besides their traumatic character, the usual treatments may cause as much morbidity and even mortality as the underlying pathology. A technique of endoscopically guided monopolar selective cauterisation was introduced in Lausanne at the end of 1987. Since then, 163 patients with a posterior epistaxis have been treated in our department. For 139 of these, endoscopic monopolar cauterization was the first treatment applied. Haemostasis was achieved at the first attempt in 82% of cases. The total success rate, including early recurrences controlled by a new cauterization, was 92%. Endoscopic monopolar cauterization requires the ability to perform nasal endoscopy, but presents few disadvantages. This technique represents a selective, relatively atraumatic, rapid and effective treatment. Moreover, costs are much lower than those of other methods. In our opinion, endoscopic monopolar cauterization should be the treatment of choice for posterior epistaxis.

Introduction; Epistaxis is one of the most common otorhinolaryngologic emergencies, often requires urgent and intensive care. The purpose of this study is to show the effectiveness of the endoscopic cauterization of the sphenopalatine artery and anterior ethmoidal artery in a severe posterior and superior epistaxis.
Materials and Methods; From May 2006 to June 2011, sixteen consecutive patients with posterior and superior epistaxis were treated by (undergone) endoscopic cauterization and ligation of 11 shenoplatine arteries and cauterization of the 5 ethmoidal arteries. The age ranged from 22 to 75 years and they were 10 male and 6 female.
Results: In all patients, their blood film was normal. All patients were discharged on 3rd postoperative day. In every case, no intra or post-operative complications were recorded in particular intracranial or intraorbital sequelae. Thirteen patients evolved without rebleeding after cauterization. In three cases epistaxis started again and they need sphenopalatine artery ligation. All patients have subsequently been followed up on average of 18 months with no further episodes of epistaxis.
Conclusion; The endoscopic cauterization of the sphenopalatine artery and anterior ethmoidal artery in a severe posterior and superior epistaxis patient was proven to be safe and efficient.

Aim: To review the different methods for treatment of pterygium.Methods: A case series study conducted at private and out patients clinic of Al Jamhoury teaching hospital in Mosul, during the period from Jan.2006-Jun.2007. Thirty-eight patients with 54 eye lesions of pterygium were included in the study. They were treated under local anesthesia by simple surgical excision with cauterization of the conjunctival edges to sclera by simple cautery or by wet bipolar cautery. Results: seven cases of recurrence were recorded in this study after 4-12 months of follow up postoperatively, in the age group before 45 years. No significant preoperative or postoperative complications were recorded with the exception of persistence of some cauterization marks on the sclera, Conclusion: The surgical excision of pterygium and cauterization of the conjunctival edges to the sclera appear to be a simple, safe and successful method.
