Objective En-bloc maxillectomy with removal of the nasal septum is a rare procedure; preservation of the nasal bones and integrity of the alveolar ridge is even rarer. These procedures traditionally required a combined transfacial-transoral approach based on lateral rhinotomy. We describe a combined endoscopic transnasal-transoral approach for treatment of nasal septal malignancies that involve the hard palate. Study Design Description and validation of a surgical technique. Methods Excision of malignant tumours arising from the nasal septum was achieved in 4 patients using a transnasal-transoral endoscopic approach. Using 4-mm optics angled at 0° and 30°, the septum was freed from the ethmoid and removed en-bloc with the hard palate, by pulling the septum down through the hard palate. Results Of the 4 patients, 2 underwent complete removal of septal chondrosarcomas, one removal of a sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma and one removal of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma. In two cases, the palatal mucosa was spared and repositioned to restore separation between the nose and oral cavity. The remaining two cases underwent complete resection of the hard palate; one palate was reconstructed using a pedicled temporalis muscle flap and the other by employing an obturator. No infection was encountered. Partial ethmoidectomy was performed in all four cases. The mean hospital stay was 5 days. All patients are free of disease after a mean follow-up of 4 years (range: 2–7 years). Conclusions Our new approach allows for minimally invasive resection of nasal septal malignancies that extend to the palate. Our maxillary pull-through technique is a valuable new surgical procedure for malignant pathologies of the nasal septum; the only drawback is that endoscopic surgery has a steep learning curve.

Introduction: Hirschsprung's disease is the most common cause of large intestinal obstructing in neonates. Hirschsprung's disease is a congenital anomaly caused by migratory failure of neural crest cells leading to abnormal innervations of the bowel .The defect begins in the internal and sphincter and extends proximally for a variable length of gut. Hirschprung's disease is a disorder of the gut caused due to congenital absence of ganglion cells in the sub-mucosal and myenteric plexus of intestine. This disease is also known as megacolon or congenital Aganglionic megacolon. Case presentation: A 2 years old male child, known case of Hirschprung’s disease, was brought to AVBRH for further management. As narrated by the mother, the child was not passing stool since birth. There was no history of abdominal distention, vomiting or fever. The child pass the stool with the help of enema which was given to the child in the morning and evening. Mast. Devansh has past history of NICU stay. In View of not passing stools, USG of abdomen and pelvis done. Endorectal pull through surgery was done on 4/02/2021 under general anesthesia. No any past surgical history. There is a past history of rectal biopsy done in 1 1/2 month of age. Conclusion:The patient was admitted in AVBRH for further management. Then the report mainly focused on surgical management and quality nursing care due to which patient was discharged without any further complication and satisfaction.

Introduction: The detailed expression pattern of calretinin immunohistochemistry in the transition zone (TZ) of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) has not yet been reported. This study aims to examine the value of calretinin immunohistochemistry for more accurately determining the distal and proximal border of the TZ in short segment HSCR. Methods: Specimens of pull-through surgery from 51 patients with short form of HSCR were analyzed on two longitudinal strips using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and calretinin immunohistochemistry. Results: In all but two patients, the first appearance of calretinin expression was seen on mucosal nerve fibers before the appearance of any ganglion cells, indicating the distal border of the TZ. The maximum distance between the distal border of the TZ and the proximal border of the TZ, defined by ganglion cells in a normal density on H&E stained sections, a strong calretinin expression on mucosal nerve fibers and in >80% of submucosal and myenteric ganglion cells, with no nerve hypertrophy and absence of ganglionitis was 60 mm. Conclusion: The distal border of the TZ is characterized by calretinin positive intramucosal neurites in nearly all of short form of HSCR and not by calretinin expression on ganglion cells.
