In an open reduction of the mandibular angle fracture, it is crucial to approximate each fracture segment as closer as possible for the reduction of the healing period. In this case report, we proposed a new technique for the mandibular angle fracture. This was designed to minimize the gap between two separated segments using mini-implants and surgical wires. Mini-implants were placed around the fracture line, followed by wire ligation to minimize the fracture gap. And then internal fixation was easily employed with plates and screws. The advantages of this technique were reduced time for operation, the promotion of healing, rapid functional recovery, and few complications.

The esophageal venous ligation in patients with cirrhosis accompanying the esophageal varices. The efficacy of esophageal venous ligation related closely (p=0,05) with the liver failure level. There was no relation between efficacy of technique with level of esophageal venous varices.

An aneurysm in the intracavernous portion was treated with EIAB and gradual ligation of ICA. Carotid ligation historically has been successful in controlling the mass effects from an aneurysm and in minimizing the risk of an acute, recurrent SAH. However, ICA ligation alone carries a higher risk, esp, ischemic complication. In an attempt to minimize these ischemic complications, EIAB procedure was added to the ICA ligation for the treatment of inoperable or inaccessible aneurysm.

Hanging is traditionally classified as complete, incomplete by the completeness of suspension and typical, atypical by the point of suspension and location of knot. It has been well known that the signs of hanging including subconjunctival petechiae are different according to the type of hanging. We evaluated the incidence of subconjunctival petechiae on 260 cases of hanging and classified the point of suspension and location of knot, ligature mark, and position on cases with subconjunctival petechiae. The subconjunctival petechiae was found in 33.6% of all cases, mostly seen in incomplete, atypical hanging. However, about 30% of incomplete, atypical hanging showed no definite subconjunctival petechiae. The patterns of location of ligature mark, type of knot, and position were somewhat different between positive and negative cases of subconjunctival petechiae in incomplete, atypical hanging.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of surgical treatment for painful varicocele. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the records of 103 patients who had undergone varicocele ligation due to serious pain from January 1996 to December 1999 and followed up for one year. The average patient age was 21 (19-41) years. We analyzed the degree of varicocele, duration and aspects of pain, effects of surgical treatment and results according to surgical techniques. We classified the results into three aspects based on the relief of pain (complete, partial and no relief) and subjective symptoms. RESULTS: As for the degree of varicocele, 40 cases placed in grade II, and 63 in grade III. The nature of the pain was a sharp ache (33 cases), dragging pain (48 cases) and dull pain (22 cases). There was no statistical significance between the grade of varicocele and the degree of pain (p>0.05). Of the 103 patients, 81 (78.6%) experienced complete relief of pain and 10 (9.7%) had partial relief. Only 12 patients (11.6%) had persistent or worsened symptoms. The results for the postoperative de gree of pain relief according to duration of pain did not show any statistical significance (p>0.05), but those according to preoperative quality of pain showed statistical signi ficance (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the conclusion that varicocele ligation is an effective treatment for painful varicocele.

From November 1997 to March 1998, 30 patients with ruptured oesophageal varices-caused gastrointestinal hemorrhage underwent the endoscopic variceal ligation by rubber ring. Age of patients ranged from 20 to 78 years. Male to female ratio is 2 to 1. Endoscopic imaging showed grade III of oesophageal varices in 29 patients, spread or spurt bleeding in 21 patients, point bleeding in 9 patients. Emergency hemostatic was performed successfully in 90.47% of the patients. 65.5% of the patients have complete elimination of oesophageal varices within 30 days and by 3 months after procedure, this rate risen to 82.75%. Adverse events and complications of oesophageal variceal ligation were temporary and resolved within some days. The common events were involved in oesopharyngeal region, such as sore throat, bleeding and oesophageal ulcer after the ligation.

22 patients (male:16, female:6) with ages of 12-78, had a benign tumors in mucosa of stoma, lip, face, ear, neck, breast. The tumor had a small base and pedicle. The tumors were treated by pedicle ligation. The results have shown that the average time for separating the pedicle was 2-3 days, there were no complications. The treatment was a good efficacy and can be easily applied in the health services in all levels.
