ABSTRACT Orthopedic conditions, such as bone fractures, are very common in avian medicine. External fixators have been considered the gold standard for birds, since they allow early movement of the limbs and minimal invasive surgery. Fractures in several bones have been successfully treated in pigeons. However, to the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report of successful surgical repair of tarsal-metatarsal fracture in rock pigeon. External fixator was made with four 24G catheters, being inserted manually proximal and distal to the fracture and connected with polymerizable acrylic. Radiographic consolidation of fracture was observed 60 days post-surgery and anti-inflammatory and antibiotic protocols were successful on avoiding pain and infection during surgery and bone healing.

Morgagni hernia is a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. It is rare, usually asymptomatic, and most of the times incidentally discovered during adulthood. A 77-year-old female patient was incidentally diagnosed with Morgagni hernia. Meanwhile, because of abdominal pain she resorted to the emergency department. A CT scan was performed. A laparoscopic repair with extra-abdominal transfascial sutures was conducted. At 3-month follow-up, the patient is asymptomatic. Surgical repair of Morgagni hernia is always indicated because of the risk of strangulation of hernia contents. Minimal invasive surgery is the gold standard, and laparoscopy is the preferred approach. Morgagni hernia does not have an anterior rim, which makes it technically difficult to close the defect. Extra-abdominal transfascial technique was used to repair the defect, eliminating the need for intracorporeal sutures. For small defects, simple repair with non-absorbable sutures using extra-abdominal transfascial technique is easy and efficient.

Die laparoskopische Cholezystektomie hat sich in weniger als zehn Jahren seit ihrer Einführung im Jahre 1986 zum Gold-Standard in der Behandlung des unkomplizierten und komplizierten Gallensteinleidens entwickelt. Aufgrund ihres durchschlagenden Erfolges ist sie zum Trendsetter der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie geworden, die auf allen Gebieten der Chirurgie die Behandlungsmethoden revolutioniert hat. Obwohl für uns heute selbstverständlich, blickt die minimal-invasive Chirurgie auf eine langwierige und hindernisreiche Entwicklungsgeschichte zurück. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen kurzen Überblick über die Geschichte der Laparoskopie und der laparoskopischen Cholezystektomie sowie deren Auswirkung auf die Entwicklung der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie zu geben.

A 29-year-old man arrived in our emergency department after being shot on the face. Computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple facial bone fractures along the bullet trajectory. On day 10 of admission, CT angiogram of the neck revealed a partially thrombosed pseudoaneurysm in the parapharyngeal fat pad. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization. This report discusses diagnosis and treatment of a partially thrombosed internal maxillary artery pseudoaneurysm. Although digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard for pseudoaneurysm diagnosis, CT angiography may provide complimentary information, as seen in this case.
