Background& Objective: Management of CSF rhinorrhea by an effective and less traumatic endoscopic tans-nasal approach in comparison with traditional open craniotomy one. Objective: To study cases of CSF rhinorrhea and to evaluate the results of Endoscopic trans-nasal repair and failure rates. Materials & Methods: Retrospective study of 34 cases (first main group) of meningeal nasal fistula admitted to Al Moassate university hospital between 5.2004 - 5.2009 in addition to three cases in which the fistula had occurred during an endoscopic sinus surgery (second secondary group). Results: In the first group the main presenting complain was persistent or intermittent clear watery rhinorrhea in 30 patients (88.23%), history of repeated Meningitis in 4 patients (11.76%) and rhinorrhea and one episode of meningitis in one patients (2.94%).A history of head trauma was detected in 20 patients (58.82%), nasal surgery in 4 patients (11.76%), where no history of head trauma or nasal surgery was found in 10 patients (29.41%). The fistula situated in the roof of the ethmoid sinus in 28 patients (79.41%), roof or lateral wall of sphenoid sinus in 4 patients(11.76%), and in the roof of both ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses in tow patients(5.88%). The fistula was closed by endoscopic trans-nasal approach with fascia latta in 31 patients (83.78%), fascia of rectus abdominalis in one patient and with the mucoperostium of contra-lateral inferior turbinate in 5 patients (13.51%). Follow-up was for 12-43 months. Recurrence has occurred in 10 patients (27.02%) in a form of recurrence of watery rhinorrhea or recurrence of meningitis or both of them. Second endoscopic trans-nasal intervention had done in 8 of them, second recurrence occurred in 3 patients. Thus the overall success rate was (91.42%). Conclusion: Endoscopic trans-nasal approach is an effective way to repair the meningeal nasal fistulas with low morbidity and mortality rate in comparison with the traditional open neurosurgery approach.

This study included (163) patients admitted to the department of Surgery in Al-Assad university hospital at Lattakia , between 1/1/2010 and 31/12/2013. They all had Laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to acute cholecystolithiasis. The male patients c omposed (24.5%), and the female patients composed (75.5%) and the ratio of females to males was (1:3.08). In our study the age of most patients (53.4 %) was between (21-40) years. The more frequent clinical features was pain (92.6%) , fever (74.8%) and (nausea + vomiting) (72.4%). Ultrasound abdomen was done in (100%). The most intra – operative complication was perforation of gall bladder and spilled stones (3.7%) and post – operative complication was spilled bile. The conversion rate from Laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open method was (7.4%). cholecystectomy was done in (50.9%) in the first 72 hours of hospitalization and was done in (49.1 %) after the 72 hours of hospitalization. The median operating time was (72) minutes . The mean stay being (1.7) days.

The aim of the study was to assesst the effect of cryosurgery by means of liquid Nitrogen LN to manage the aesthetic problem caused by gingival melanin Pigmentation (GMP). The study is composed of 20 patients who attended the department of oral me dicine at Tishreen University, Lattakia- Syria. Their chief complaint was GMP between November 1st 2013 and April 1st 2016. The clinical observation included caputuring photographs pre-procedure and 3 months, 6 months and a year post-procedure. Dummett Oral Pigmentation Index (DOPI) was used as a reference to indicate the colour of the pigmented areas degrees, and statistical analysis was performed by T-student test for paired samples. Ablation of hyperpigmented gingiva was accomplished with minimal discomfort and post-procedure healing was uneventful and with no post-pain. Such statistical study revealed a significant difference between pre- and post-procedure measurements of pigmented areas. In conclusion, the application of cryosurgery using LN appears to be an effective and safe method for elimination of GMP.
Nasal reconstruction is considered as one of the difficult reconstructive problems to solve. That is due to the importance of the cosmetic appearance of the nose, the several types of tissues forming the nose and the complexity of the anatomy of th e nose. Due to the small nostrils, delicate tissue and lack of surrounding tissues enough for reconstruction, this problem becomes more difficult to in the reconstruction of children’s noses, The aim of this research is to look at the cases of nasal reconstruction in children at Mouassat university hospital, and to suggest a new modification on the forehead flap, which leads to lengthening the flap by recruiting a piece of the Galea as a facial flap connected to the distal end of the forehead flap. This flap will be covered with a split thickness skin graft, then it will be folded to reconstruct the inner surface of the nose.
The reconstruction of the nasal ala requires the achievement of esthetic and functional results. Composite auricular grafts are extremely valuable here. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the surgical outcome after using composite grafts for al ar nasal reconstruction according to our experience. A retrospective study of our outcome of 10 performed alar nasal reconstruction cases. All these patients were operated using the proposed surgical technique between 2011 and 2015 in AL-ASSAD University Hospital in Lattakia, Syria. The cosmetic and functional results of this relatively simple technique of reconstruction are excellent. It provides an internal lining and support. The integration was total. We could fill the alar nasal defect using composite grafts. The defect has disappeared consequently. The form of the nose could be improved. The use of this technique efficiently enables a one-stage reconstruction of nasal defects. The morbidity rate within the donor areas was low. We believe that composite grafts have an important and under-utilized role as an adjunct to the flaps in nasal reconstruction.
