A thin polymer film that seals surgical wounds could make sutures a relic of medical history.
Measuring just 50 microns, the film is placed on a surgical wound and exposed to an infrared laser, which heats the film just enough to meld it and the tissue, thus perfectly sealing the wound. Known as Surgilux, the device's raw material is extracted from crab shells and has Food and Drug Administration approval in the US

Surgery to treat men with prostate cancer is often followed by months of difficulty controlling urine flow, a condition known as urinary incontinence. But new research suggests that this problem may go away more quickly if the men perform certain exercises to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles.
Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, found that men who were taught how to perform pelvic floor exercises before and after surgery were more likely to have regained continence three months later.
Men Doing Pelvic Exercises Recover Earlier
In the current study, the researchers randomly assigned 38 men scheduled for radical prostatectomy to either a treatment group or a control group. The men in the treatment group were referred to a physical therapist. They were instructed how to do Pelvic Floor Exercises both before and after surgery, using biofeedback to ensure they were using the proper muscles. The control group did not receive any formal instruction. All of the men completed questionnaires regarding bladder function at regular intervals over the next year.
Overall, 82% of the patients had regained continence (defined as not needing to use any absorbent pads) by the end of the year, including about equal numbers in both groups. But on average the men who had been educated about Pelvic exercises regained continence about one month earlier than those in the control group (at 12 weeks vs. 16 weeks).
Most of the men who did not regain continence within a year were still using at least three absorbent pads a day, indicating continued severe incontinence. The study authors explained that these men probably had extensive damage to the bladder sphincter or severe dysfunction of the bladder after surgery, and the exercises alone were unable to compensate for this.
But the exercises seemed to be effective. Pelvic floor exercise and education initiated prior to surgery is an effective noninvasive intervention useful for improving early return of urinary continence, the authors concluded. It would certainly have a positive impact on our patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in an effort to improve quality of life after major urological surgery.
The results of the study were published in the Journal of Urology (Vol. 170, No. 1: 130-133)

http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com This video will take you through Donnaโs experience with Revision Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif. Follow Donna as she goes through the process before, during and after surgery. Listen to what Donna has to say about Dr. Paul Nassif and his staff in regards to the overall operation. Patients seeking revision rhinoplasty have a number of concerns. The foremost is a poor aesthetic and functional result. Second is often the loss of trust in their first surgeon, and the third: will surgery help improve them or just cause more deformity. Dr. Nassif and his staff are well trained in helping patients overcome these fears. They are sensitive to the reluctance patients have over considering more surgery. The staff will help you feel at ease from the beginning; recognizing your courage to address the need for revision surgery and consider improving upon what was your less than ideal surgical result. Together we can work towards achieving our mutual goals of looking and breathing better. By choosing the right specialist for surgery, the goal is to improve the functional and aesthetic results from prior treatment. Dr. Nassif often states that revision rhinoplasty follows the architectural theme "form follows function." Noses that look pinched typically don't work well and vice versa. Improving nasal airflow usually has the consequence of also enhancing the appearance of the nose. Revision surgery is about restoring structure and strength. Finally, I will use the computer image as a goal in surgery. Often times, patients will bring photos (models, movie stars, etc.) of what they feel their nose should look like. My goal is to take what you have and make a moderate, and sometimes, significant difference in the appearance and function of your nose, creating an aesthetically pleasing, natural nose. Following surgery, the majority of patients have minimal pain. I will ask you to clean your incisions and the inside of your nose approximately twice a day. You will be instructed to spray salt water (saline) into your nose with a spray bottle and a baby bulb syringe. Your cast and the stitches will be removed in one week (assuming that you are having an open revision rhinoplasty). For the second week, your nose will be taped. Following the second week, if needed, I will instruct you on how to tape your nose nightly to help reduce the swelling. The most important attribute that you, the patient, can possess following revision nasal surgery is PATIENCE. It may well take one year for the swelling to completely resolve. I can promise you that I will do the best job possible to improve the health of your nose and your spirit. http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.com 120 S.
