Breast reduction has been widely studied throughout the years, with different types of resection and breast reshaping techniques being described based on one or two pedicles. This chapter introduces the combination of parenchymal resection and liposuction to treat Gigantomastia, leaving a short scar. Liposuction improves breast remodeling, whereas breast glandular resection and repositioning enhances the upper pole fullness. The Power-Assisted Liposuction Mammaplasty (P.A.L.M.) technique is a safe and reliable procedure, insuring an optimal vascularization to the breast through the preservation of the central, superior and lateral pedicle, thus reducing the complication rate. In this chapiter we emphasize the importance of the preoperative markings, considered as essential for optimal results.

Background: Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty is the commonly done surgery for inguinal hernias. The present study is aimed to study the Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty and its postoperative complications for different types of inguinal hernia.Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, MVJ Medical College and Research Hospital, Hoskote, Bangalore Rural, Karnataka. A total of 90 patients were selected for this study. Subjects with the age of 21 to 75 years with inguinal hernia are included in the study. A pre-designed proforma was used to collect their details. All selected cases were studied up to discharge regarding the type of hernia and followed up in OPD for 1 year regarding post-operative complications.Results: Immediate post-op complications like seroma/hematoma was observed in 10 (11.1%), wound infection was in 5 (5.5%) and orchitis was in 2 (2.2%). Post-operative complications like stiffness in lower abdomen was observed in 21 (23.3%) patients. Long term complications like forein body sensation was experienced by 22 (24.4) patients post-operatively at 1 month follow up, 8 (8.8%) patients at 3 months follow up and 3 (3.3) patients at 1 year follow up.  Chronic pain was experienced by 17 (18.8%) patients at the end of 1 month follow up, at 3 month follow up, 13 (14.4%) patients and at the end of 1 year of follow up 4 (4.4%) patients at operated site. Recurrence was not observed in any of the patient.Conclusions: The study findings indicate that Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty was safe and reliable procedure for inguinal hernia repair.

This report describes a reliable and simple technique for securing external ventricular drains (EVDs) to the scalp and avoiding pullout complications. The operative technique consists of fixing the drain between 2 hydrocolloid dressings and securing it with staples. A 10-year retrospective analysis of EVD pullout complications was performed in a series of 435 consecutive patients who were treated at a single institution. The EVD pullout complication rate was 0.4%. No complications related to the fixation technique were found. The median operative time required to fix the drain was 60 seconds. The technique presented here is a simple and reliable procedure to fix the EVD to the scalp, preventing pullout complications and thus reducing the morbidity of EVD reimplantation.
