Who invented the first micro surgical staple gun?
Born in 1904, GEORGE KLEIN is sometimes referred to as the most productive Canadian inventor in the 20th century. It is thought that he was inspired by his father who owned a watch & jewelry store. Despite struggling through high school, Klein managed to get accepted into the University of Toronto and earn a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Science by 1928. In 1929, Klein joined a former university professor at the National Research Council and worked there for 40 years. During his time there he developed and invented many things such as aircraft skis, a tracked snowmobile called "The Weasel", the the motorized wheelchair, the Canadarm, and of course, the first microsurgical staple gun.
Why is swelling in the testes diagnosed as a hydrocele rather than a spermatocele or variocele in testicular torsions?
spermatocele (sperm-ă-toh-seel) n. a cystic swelling in the scrotum containing sperm. The cyst arises from the epididymis and can be felt as a lump above the testis. Treatment is by surgical removal.hydrocele (hy-droh-seel) n. the accumulation of watery liquid in a sac, usually the sac surrounding the testes. This condition is characterized by painless enlargement of the scrotum.varicocele (va-ri-koh-seel) n. a collection of dilated veins in the spermatic cord. It usually produces no symptoms apart from occasional aching discomfort. In some cases varicocele is associated with oligospermia, which can be improved by surgical correction or radiological embolization of the varicocele (varicocelectomy).Well here you see the differences. They are all different and hydrocele is the most common, not painful and least serious.

Replantation of digits - series?
Normal anatomyThe fingers and toes are supplied by vessels and nerves which run up the lateral aspects of each digit.IndicationsThe surgery is recommended in a case of amputated fingers or toes, with salvaged digits in a condition that would enable replantation. This usually requires a clean cut across the digit, with minimal damage to the digital vessels and nerve. Amputated digits should be brought to the hospital with the patient, wrapped in moist paper towels, in a plastic bag, and on ice. Ice should be placed in a second plastic bag, into which the first plastic bag containing the severed digit is placed, to prevent direct contact between the ice and the severed digit.Procedure, part 1While the patient is sleepy (sedated) or deep asleep and pain-free (regional anesthesia or general anesthesia),the bone ends are shortened to eliminate tension on the repaired vessels. The bone is stabilized with wires. Tendon repairs are done next.Procedure, part 2Digital nerves and vessels are repaired with microsurgical instruments. This part of the surgery is most critical to its success. The skin is then closed. A bulky dressing is applied. Young children may have a cast applied to protect the area from injury.AftercareThe function of the replanted digit varies depending on the type of injury, the quality of the repair, and the post-operative healing course. Physical therapy after surgery is required to optimize function.Reviewed ByReview Date: 07/28/2010Linda J.
