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 medicine 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.

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 Endos copic 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.
Human gingival pigmentation cause esthetic problems and embarrassment, especially in women and patients with a gummy smile. This study was performed to see the effect and the clinical influence of CO2 laser on pigmented gingiva. This new technique performed for the first time in Syria.
the aim of this study is to prove that laparoscopic approach in experienced hands is the treatment of choice for adrenal masses (up to 10 cm) the study was conducted in Al Asad University hospital between 2004-2006.By reviewing the files of 22 p atients with adrenal mass retrospectively and prospectively all of them were done laparoscopicaly except one case in which the operation was converted to open approach .the variables that considered in this study were the difficulty of the procsdure,time of surgery, the ratio of conversion to the classic approach (open adrenalectomy ^morbidity and mortality rates.
