  2. Alveolar osteitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_osteitis

    The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.

  3. Vestibulectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibulectomy

    A vestibulectomy is a gynecological surgical procedure that can be used to treat vulvar pain, specifically in cases of provoked vestibulodynia. Vestibulodynia (vulvar vestibulitis) is a chronic pain syndrome that is a subtype of localized vulvodynia [1] where chronic pain and irritation is present in the vulval vestibule, which is near the entrance of the vagina. [2]

  4. Ventilator-associated lung injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilator-associated_lung...

    Overdistension of alveoli and cyclic atelectasis (atelectotrauma) are the primary causes for alveolar injury during positive pressure mechanical ventilation.Severe injury to alveoli causes swelling of the tissues (edema) in the lungs, bleeding of the alveoli, loss of surfactant (decrease in lung compliance) and complete alveoli collapse ().

  5. Perineoplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perineoplasty

    Perineoplasty (also perineorrhaphy) denotes the plastic surgery procedures used to correct clinical conditions (damage, defect, deformity) of the vagina and the anus. [1] [2] [3] Among the vagino-anal conditions resolved by perineoplasty are vaginal looseness, vaginal itching, damaged perineum, fecal incontinence, genital warts, dyspareunia, vaginal stenosis, vaginismus, vulvar vestibulitis ...

  6. Reproductive surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_surgery

    Reproductive surgery in women has largely been complementary to other ART methods such as medication, except for in tubal infertility, where surgery remains the main treatment. [11] Although reproductive surgery has been most relevant for severe symptoms, there has been a strong interest in greater analysis surrounding this topic of research. [10]

  7. Vulval vestibule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulval_vestibule

    Structures opening in the vulval vestibule are the urethra (urinary meatus), vagina, Bartholin's glands, and Skene's glands. [1]The external urethral orifice is placed about 25–30 millimetres (1–1.2 in) [2] behind the clitoris and immediately in front of that of the vagina; it usually assumes the form of a short, sagittal cleft with slightly raised margins.

  8. Female reproductive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_reproductive_system

    The human female reproductive system is made up of the internal and external sex organs that function in the reproduction of new offspring. The reproductive system is immature at birth and develops at puberty to be able to release matured ova from the ovaries , facilitate their fertilization , and create a protective environment for the ...

  9. Pulmonary contusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_contusion

    The membrane between alveoli and capillaries is torn; damage to this capillary–alveolar membrane and small blood vessels causes blood and fluids to leak into the alveoli and the interstitial space (the space surrounding cells) of the lung. [11] With more severe trauma, there is a greater amount of edema, bleeding, and tearing of the alveoli. [17]
