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.

Seven cases of hepatic artery ligation are presented. Two patients are clinically improved; one patient is definitely unimproved, another is under observation, and three patients are dead. (Summary)

1. The problem of acute and massively bleeding esophageal varices secondary to portal hypertension is presented2. The medical and surgical management of patients with ruptured esophageal varices is discussed3. Experiences in the control of hemorrhage by direct ligation of varices and by emergency portacaval shunts are presented. (Summary)

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.

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.

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.
