ABSTRACT Introduction National trends are showing statistically significant increase in the thyroid surgeries being performed by otorhinolaryngologist surgeons. There is a rising interest among the otorhinolaryngology surgeons subspecializing in head and neck surgeries to increase the horizons in the advancements in thyroid surgeries. Cervical epidural anesthesia (CEA) for thyroid surgeries is gaining popularity over general anesthesia (GA) for the various advantages it offers. Objective This prospective study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and ease of thyroidectomy under CEA as compared to GA. Materials and methods A prospective study of total of 30 patients undergoing thyroid surgery from two teaching hospitals. They were randomly allotted into CEA and GA groups of 15 members each. Results In the CEA group, postoperative comfort and economic feasibility were found to be better compared to GA group. The blood volume loss was lesser in the CEA group. The CEA group also offered the added advantage of vocal cord monitoring by voice contact during the surgery. Both the CEA and GA group maintained hemodynamic stability. There were no complications in both the groups. Conclusion Even though thyroid surgery is currently being performed mostly under GA, CEA must be considered for thyroid surgeries routinely. CEA offers a number of advantages of GA in selected cases. This study has proved that CEA has distinct advantages over GA in thyroidectomies. Considering the ease and effectiveness of CEA, it is as good as GA, if not better, even in routine thyroidectomies. How to cite this article Mohammed S, Santosh UP, Pereira N.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Uractiv Control as an alternative treatment with no side effects in Overactive Bladder (OAB). We performed a prospective study over a period of 15 months (May 2018- September 2019) in Department of Urology from Targu-Mureș. We included 165 patients diagnosed with OAB wet (129 patients) and dry form (36 patients) which were fully evaluated over a 3-month period of treatment. 48 patients were treated with placebo 1 month and were evaluated by the same parameters like Uractiv Control group. The frequency of micturition during the day and night after the treatment with Uractiv Control was improved compared to placebo group (p=0.0001) and also the loss of urine episodes (p=0.03). Patients did not report any significant side effects of the treatment. Uractiv Control represents a safe treatment option with no side effects and improvement of the storage in OAB.
