retrospective study include 22 patients with Meckel diverticulum were found incidentally or because of its complications, between 1992-2002 in Binh Dan hospital, HCM city. Use the Fisher exact test with two tails to determine the correlation between the histological property and its clinical presentations. The results showed that the features of Meckel diverticulum were noted, no difference in sex. The histological type of the mucosa (gastric) had significant positive correlation with the clinical presentation. Resection of the unexpected Meckel diverticulum could be performed safely with a low complication rate

Urethral plate (UP)-preserving urethroplasty is simple and has few complications, but it may affect the development of penis in the long term and lead to recurrent chordee. In this study, we used obliquely cut UP to repair hypospadias with mild chordee after degloving (15°-30°) and compared the results with onlay urethroplasty to explore its rationality and feasibility. Between April 2018 and October 2020, 108 hypospadias patients underwent onlay urethroplasty or modified onlay urethroplasty. Clinical data were prospectively collected, and medium-term outcomes were assessed at follow-up. The complications were compared between the two groups. Forty-four patients underwent the modified onlay procedure (Group I), with follow-up time (mean ± standard deviation [s.d.]) of 23.2 ± 4.5 (range: 17-31) months. Sixty-four patients underwent a standard onlay procedure (Group II), with follow-up time (mean ± s.d.) of 39.7 ± 3.9 (range: 32-46) months. There was no difference in age at surgery. The urethral defect length and operative time were longer in Group I. Six cases of fistula and one case each of stricture and diverticulum were reported in Group I. In Group II, 11 cases of fistula and one case each of stricture and diverticulum were reported. The complication rates were 18.2% and 20.3% in Group I and Group II, respectively (P > 0.05). These medium-term follow-up results demonstrate that the modified onlay procedure (oblique cut UP urethroplasty) is a safe and feasible technique for hypospadias with mild chordee after degloving. Compared with standard onlay urethroplasty, this modified procedure is conducive to the complete removal of scar tissue underlying the UP without increasing the risk of surgical complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnosis, differential diagnosis and the treatment of Zenker diverticulum (pharyngo esophagus diverticulum) in thyroid operation.

METHODSSeven cases suffering from thyroid masses diagnosed Zenker diverticulum in thyroid operation between July 2001 and December 2011 were reviewed.

RESULTSZenker diverticula in the patients were resected. Only one case was complicated with the formation of false capsular bag, infection and fistula postoperatively, but cured with draining eventually.

CONCLUSIONSZenker diverticulum may exist in some patients with thyroid mass. Resection of diverticulum may be performed in thyroid operation, with a good prognosis.

Giant Meckel's diverticulum is a very rare lesion and its association with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia has not been reported previously. We report a case of newborn with a giant Meckel's diverticulum and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. A large round atypical air-filled bowel segment was found by chest radiography preoperatively, and a giant Meckel's diverticulum was located within the left hemithorax during surgery.

Auditory tube diverticula, also known as guttural pouches, are naturally occurring dilations of the auditory tube in horses that communicate with the nasopharynx through a small ostium. Infection and select other conditions can result in inflammation and narrowing of the nasopharyngeal ostium, which prevents drainage of fluid or egress of air and can lead to persistent infection or guttural pouch tympany. Auditory tube diverticulotomy allows continuous egress from the auditory tube diverticula and is a feature of disease treatment in horses, in which medical treatment alone is not successful. Transpharyngeal endoscopic auditory tube diverticulotomy was performed using a diode laser either at a single dorsal pharyngeal recess location or bilaterally caudal to the nasopharyngeal ostium in 10 horse head specimens. Both methods resulted in clear communication between the nasopharynx and auditory tube diverticula. Diverticulotomy performed in the dorsal pharyngeal recess required less laser energy and activation time and had a shorter surgical duration than diverticulotomy performed caudal to the nasopharyngeal ostium. Further study related to the clinical application of both techniques is warranted.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the anatomy,radiographic manifestation, and surgical treatment of pulsatile tinnitus due to sigmoid sinus diverticulum. METHOD: The retrospectively study of diagnosis,clinical and radiographic manifestations,and surgical treatment of 2 cases of pulsatile tinnitus caused by sigmoid sinus diverticulum was carried out. RESULT: Bony defect was found in the anterior sigmoid wall in both cases, and one of them was combined with invasion of soft tissues in mastoid cells. Both of them undertook a surgery to reconstruct sinus wall and received a satisfactory results. CONCLUSION Sigmoid sinus diverticulum is one of causes which lead to pulsatile tinnitus. It can be identified by imaging examination and can be cured by sinus wall reconstruction.
