Cosmetic surgery techniques can enhance thyroid surgery results

Cosmetic surgery techniques, such as having a patient sit or stand while incision sites are marked so they blend into natural lines of the body, can improve the aesthetic result of thyroid surgery as well, researchers say.

   10-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   In the era of laparoscopic surgery, intra-operative X-ray investigation of bile ducts to identify coexisting common bile duct stones has been replaced by new techniques, which, unfortunately, are either too expensive and not available to all patients, or invasive and may result in severe complications. A study recently reported in the Nov. 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology may offer a simple and available measure to solve this problem worldwide.

4. Surgeons say minimally invasive lung surgery should be standard care
   06-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Major US academic medical centers can successfully -- and safely -- integrate minimally invasive lung surgery into their training programs with a standardized, step-by-step plan, according to University of Cincinnati thoracic surgeons. It's estimated that only about 10 percent of all lung cancer operations nationwide are done with minimally invasive techniques, but more than half the patients who need the surgery would qualify for the less invasive procedure, which results in faster recovery time and less pain for patients.

5. Princeton engineers develop low-cost recipe for patterning microchips
   09-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Creating ultrasmall grooves on microchips -- a key part of many modern technologies -- is about to become as easy as making a sandwich, using a new process invented by Princeton engineers. The simple, low-cost technique results in the self-formation of periodic lines, or gratings, separated by as few as 60 nanometers -- less than one ten-thousandth of a millimeter -- on microchips.
