Agnikarma or thermal cauterization is one among the Anushastras or para-surgical technique mentioned in all literatures of Ayurveda. Agnikarma as dened by Aacharya Sushruta is one of the treatment in which with the help of particular shalaka the Agni is transferred into the tissue. Agnikarma is stated as more important than ksara or other surgical management because of non-recurrence of diseases treated with Agni and its success in diseases incurable by drugs, instrument and Ksara. Agni having usna, Tikshna, Sukshma and Ashukari properties pacify vitiated vata and kapha dosha bringing them to their normal function. Sushruta says the pain aggravated by vata in twak , mamsa, sira, snayu, sandhi and asthi. Chronic wounds having some hard elevated tissue, Cystic lesions, haemorrhoids, tumour, stula, sinus lymphadenopathy, larial, skin tag, hernia, joints disorders, to stop bleeding from cut vessels. In current practises we are using Agnikarma for all the said purposes but most frequently for analgesic properties of Agnikarma.

SummaryAchilles mechanism rupture in four of five dogs was treated with tenorrhaphy using a modified surgical technique designed to optimise accurate apposition of tendon to bone. Two bone tunnels were drilled in the calcaneal tuber from a plantomedial - dorsolateral, and plantolateral – dorsomedial direction respectively. The distal ends of the tendons were sutured to the calcaneal tuber using a Krachow suture pattern. The remaining dog had a mid-tendon Achilles mechanism rupture. A resinous half cast was placed on the cranial aspect of the tarsocrural joint of all five dogs, for a minimum of six weeks, in order to provide limited post operative support. Du e to insufficient cast material two of the support splints failed and one of these cases also required a second surgical procedure. A varying amount of soft tissue irritation was noted in each case. All of the five Achilles mechanisms healed, and all of the dogs returned to normal function.Five dogs with surgical reconstruction of the Achilles mechanism were stabilised postoperatively with a resinous half cast placed on the cranial aspect of the tarsocrural joint for a minimum of six weeks. Two of these casts failed at the tarsocrural joint when six folds of casting material were used; all subsequent cases had eight folds applied. Variable soft tissue irration was observed under the cast in each case. A modified surgical technique using a Krachow suture pattern allowed good tendon-bone apposition. All five Achilles mechanisms healed, and all dogs returned to normal function. Bilateral lesions were identified in 3 of the 4 dogs examined.

We report the case of an adult patient with thumb polydactyly. The pre-axial thumb is in a non-functional flexion, while the 1st thumb maintains normal function. X-ray of the hand reveals a “T” shape 1st metacarpus bone, giving origin to the pre-axial polydactyly. Although this variation is not specifically described in the Wassel classification, we classify it as a type V of the Rotterdam´s classification. Patient is managed surgically, using a dynamic incision for polydactyly amputation. The polydactyly thumb has no identifiable muscle/tendon structures responsible of this unique deformation. The procedure results in good post-operative evolution with aesthetic scaring, and integral thumb function.

Extended Endoscopic Approach

Objectives Extended endoscopic approaches are useful for resection of selected craniopharyngiomas. Midline, extraventricular, and predominantly cystic lesions are good candidates for endoscopic resection. In this video, we demonstrate the endoscopic endonasal resection of a large suprasellar craniopharyngioma and discuss the nuances of the surgical technique. Design/Setting Surgical video of an extended endoscopic approach for resection of a suprasellar craniopharyngioma. Results We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with bitemporal hemianopsia and visual acuity deterioration secondary to a large suprasellar solid–cystic lesion. The patient underwent an extended endoscopic transtuberculum approach for resection of the lesion, which was diagnosed as a papillary craniopharyngioma. This video discusses the anatomy and surgical technique applied for endoscopic resection of such lesions. Conclusion Endoscopic endonasal surgery is a useful technique for management of craniopharyngiomas. It is associated with good clinical outcomes in selected cases. Complications, such as postoperative CSF leak, may occur and should be carefully managed.The link to the video can be found at: https://youtu.be/EneOCiQE7yo.

Involvement of the cervical spine is common in rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical presentation can be variable, and symptoms may be due to neck pain or compressive myeloradiculopathy. We discuss the pathology, grading systems, clinical presentation, indications for surgery and surgical management of cervical myelopathy related to rheumatoid arthritis in this paper. We describe our surgical technique and results. We recommend early consultation for surgical management when involvement of the cervical spine is suspected in rheumatoid arthritis. Even patients with advanced cervical myelopathy should be discussed for surgical treatment, since in our experience improvement in function after surgery is common.

Purpose. To describe our surgical technique in the management of pseudophakic malignant glaucoma refractory to conventional treatment.Methods. Two pseudophakic eyes with malignant glaucoma underwent peripheral iridectomy, lens capsulectomy, hyaloidectomy, and anterior vitrectomy through a clear corneal incision by using a vitreous cutter.Results. Prompt resolution of malignant glaucoma was achieved in both cases and no recurrence was observed during postoperative followup of five months.Conclusions. An anterior segment surgeon can treat pseudophakic malignant glaucoma successfully by using a vitreous cutter inserted through a corneal incision and performing peripheral iridectomy, capsulo-hyaloidectomy, and anterior vitrectomy.
