Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
Trachea01:22

Trachea

The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of the...
Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management01:22

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques01:30

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway interventions are...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Proctology
  • Dermatologic Surgery

Background:

  • Pilonidal sinus disease is a prevalent condition affecting the natal cleft.
  • The Bascom's cleft lift procedure is an established surgical treatment.
  • Existing techniques involve sinus tract excision and gluteal cleft modification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and demonstrate the seagull excision technique as an alternative surgical option.
  • To achieve similar therapeutic goals as the cleft lift procedure.
  • To present a novel flap design and closure strategy for pilonidal sinus disease.

Main Methods:

  • The study involves a video demonstration of the seagull excision technique.
  • The procedure is applied to a patient diagnosed with pilonidal sinus disease.
  • Key steps include flap design and wound closure specific to the seagull technique.

Main Results:

  • The video showcases the practical application of the seagull excision technique.
  • The technique is demonstrated in a 37-year-old male patient.
  • The procedure aims for effective management of pilonidal sinus disease.

Conclusions:

  • The seagull excision technique presents a viable alternative for treating pilonidal sinus disease.
  • This method offers a different approach to flap design and closure.
  • Further evaluation may be warranted to compare its efficacy with established procedures.
