Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sometimes charring or popping occurs and the bipolar blades get stuck to the vessel. METHODS: The tips of one of the many commercially available bipolar forceps were coated in a striped manner with Teflon--50 micro in thickness. RESULTS: The new bipolar coagulator coated with Teflon reduced the incidence of tissue sticking. CONCLUSIONS: Experience with this instrument was still quite limited, but preliminary results were promising.

Lingual hamartoma in an infant: CT and MR imaging.

Lingual hamartoma is a rare tongue mass, primarily diagnosed in childhood. In most cases in the literature, the masses were surgically removed without preoperative imaging. There are only 3 cases reported in the clinical literature that describe preoperative imaging findings. We report the clinical and imaging findings in an infant with lingual hamartoma and review the literature.

Use of a rectal snare to remove a hypopharyngeal haemangioma.

We describe in this case report a new technique for treatment of hypopharyngeal haemangioma, using the surgical diathermy snare. The snare was easily introduced through the direct laryngoscope, without any difficulties. The procedure was simple, rapid and involved minimal bleeding. We also discuss the histological types of haemangioma, clinical picture, radiological findings and other modalities of treatment.
