Coronary artery bypass surgery aims to prevent death from coronary artery disease and improve quality of life by relieving angina, the associated feeling of chest pain. [1] The decision to perform surgery is informed by studies of CABG's efficacy in different patient subgroups, based on the lesions' anatomy or how well the heart is functioning.
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) is a medical society for otolaryngologists (ENT) and plastic surgeons. It exists to promote high quality facial surgery, and runs courses, workshops, scientific presentations, and a training program. [1] The academy represents more than 2,700 facial surgeons throughout ...
Fluorescence guided surgery (FGS), also called fluorescence image-guided surgery, or in the specific case of tumor resection, fluorescence guided resection, is a medical imaging technique used to detect fluorescently labelled structures during surgery. [1]
