Both groups were operated as day care basis however, the hospital stay was slightly longer in group II (group I = 12 Â± 2 h, vs group II = 16 Â± 3 h) (P = 0.07). The operation time was significantly shorter in group I (93 Â± 11 min) compared with group II (138 Â± 17 min) (P = 0.03). Patients with bilateral UDT had one incision in group I and five skin incisions in group II. Children with unilateral UDT and hypospadias had one incision in group I and three skin incisions in group II. Early and late complications, surgical time, hospital stay, and cosmetic results were recorded. For hypospadias reconstruction, all patients had classical subcoronal and para urethral plate incision with penile skin degloving according to the location of urethral meatus. In group II (N = 27), multi- incision technique was applied for classical orchiopexy and hypospadias surgery. In group I (N = 34) single subcoronal incision with no scrotal skin incision was applied.

From one thousand and twenty-one children with hypospadias, 61 patients presented with concomitant palpable UDT and hypospadias. To introduce the creation of subdartos muscle scrotal pouch with no scrotal skin incision. To present the feasibility of no skin incision orchiopexy in children with concomitant hypospadias and undescended testis (UDT) by a single subcoronal incision technique.

Electrocautery is a safe and effective method for performing surgical skin incisions. A trend toward less incisional blood loss from skin incisions made with electrocautery was noted. Electrocautery significantly reduced the incision time and postoperative wound pain. No significant difference in wound infection rates or scar cosmesis was identified between the treatment groups. Six RCTs were identified comparing electrocautery (n = 606) and a scalpel (n = 628) for skin incisions. A systematic electronic literature search was performed using 2 electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed), and the methodological quality of included publications was evaluated. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to compare skin incisions made by electrocautery and a scalpel. The use of electrocautery for this purpose has been controversial with respect to patient safety and surgical efficacy. The creation of surgical skin incisions has historically been performed using a cold scalpel. The surgical tools they used were made from bronze and shaped obsidian.Systematic review and meta-analysis of electrocautery versus scalpel for surgical skin incisions. These ancient doctors used brain surgery to treat a variety of diseases like mental illnesses, epilepsy, headaches, organic diseases, neuropathy treatment, osteomylitis, and head injuries. with an inordinate success rate noted among patients, archaeologists say. The Pre-Incan civilization used brain surgery as an extensive practice as early as 2,000 B.C. Map showing the locations of some of the main obsidian sources in Mesoamerica. The latter possibility means that our species is at least 85,000 older than we believe. These spears were made from obsidian by either another species - which had to be extremely crafty and clever - or ancient humans. The remains are so ancient that they actually predate the earliest known fossils of our species by 85,000 years. Remarkably, obsidian tools may even predate humans! Researchers have found what they believe to be the oldest known stone-tipped throwing spears. This means the obsidian breaks into pieces with curved surfaces that are razor thin and extremely sharp. The volcanic glass is thought to be so sharp because of the way it breaks, a pattern geologists call a conchoidal fracture. “It is in this manner: First they get out a knife stone (obsidian core) which is black like jet and 20 cm or slightly less in length, and they make it cylindrical and as thick as the calf of the leg, and they place the stone between the feet, and with a stick apply force to the edges of the stone, and at every push they give a little knife springs off with its edges like those of a razor.” Hester et al. Motolinia, a 16th-century Spanish observer, left this account of prismatic blade production: “The prismatic glass blade is infinitely sharper than a honed steel edge, and these blades can be produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes,” wrote Bruce A. Don Crabtree who re-discovered the production technique in the 1970s. The finest of these prismatic blades were produced in Mesoamerica about 2,500 years ago, according to Dr.
