This video shows how to draw a blood sample which is medically known as venepuncture

Hysteroscopy adhesiolysis for treating Ashermann syndrome

Laparoscopic Vaginal Top Closure

Endometrial Ablation

Total laparoscopic hysterectomy using staples to secure major blood vessels. Vaginal colpotomy and mobilization of bladder performed initally with suture line at junction of vagina and cervix visualized laparoscopically.

Repair performed with the PROLIFT Pelvic Floor Repair System - the total implant. The objective of the PROLIFT procedure is to achieve a a complete anatomic repair of pelvic floor defects in a standardized way. The repair is achieved by the placement of the synthetic non-absorbable polyprolylen mesh... implant via a vaginal approach.

We noticed a blue-line in the endometrial cavity between the tubal ostiae after injection of methylene blue (to determine tubal patency). We have seen this “blue-line” even in cases with normal or unicornuate uterus and/or in cases with patent or occluded fallopian tubes(Picture 1). So the be...st explanation of this finding may be the high speed jet or turbulence of dye in the top or the deepest part of endometrial cavity. We simply postulated that the zone which holds the methylene blue is the zone where the flashing dye strikes vertically over there and the dye penatrates into the endometrial epithelium and glands. We used this line as a guide that shows midline during operative hysteroscopy ( especially in cases with septate uterus) and we don’t ecxatly know reason why it occurs. It is necessary to perform histologic, molecular or clinical studies on this subject. It may have a multifactorial aetiology. We performed a prospective case control study and will publish it soon after when we get the results.

The infection prevention and control training DVD is based on international guidelines from The World Health Organisation and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. It sets out best practice in international standard precautions for infection prevention and control. Email hmi@shrc.ie for details.

Motor cortex stimulation for Chronic pain

The essential steps of a translaminaterminalis approach for removal of craniopharyngiomas

Access to processes within the skull base with lateral extension to the pterygopalatine fossa are reached by combined subfrontal osteotomy and Le Fort I osteotomy

trigeminal neuralgia can be caused by a vessel loop nearby the entry zone of the trigeminal nerve at the brainstem. a vessel loop is mobilized and transposed and secured with a teflon paddy. the paddy is fixed with tissucol , a fibrin glue without evident neurotoxicity. the long term result of the jannetta procedure regarding pain control is excellent

Acoustic Neuroma

Extradural approach via Orbito-Zygomatic Craniotomy

Resection of a glioblastoma multiforme, a very malignant, aggressive brain tumor.

Thoracoscopic Discectomy

ANEURYSMS OF THE CEREBRAL VESSELS CAUSE SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE. MICRONEUROSURGICAL CLIPPING ELIMINATES DEFINITIVE THE RISK OF RERUPTURE, ENABLES TO TREAT VASOSPASMS AND ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR RE-ANGIOGRAPHIES. INTRAOPERATIVE PUNCTURE CHECKS IMMEDIATLY THE ELIMINATION OF THE ANEURYSM.

An older patient with stomach pain, and the typical heart burning. We did some biopsies for evaluation of dyplasia.

Endoscopic third ventriculostomy in a patient with obstructive hydrocephalus

lesions at the anterior skull base invading the paranasal area and the paracavernous area can be reached without brain retraction by the shown subfrontal approach. it enables to control the paranasal sinus, optic nerve, periorbital tissue, carotid artery and pituary gland. reconstruction is not easy... but cosmetically appealing. CSF leaks are rare with the use of fascia lata and tissucol ( fibrin glue). osseous reconstruction is done by microsrews and calciumpyrophosphate ( norian, synthes).
