“…The treatment of epistaxis also requires a systematic and methodical approach and options vary according to the cause, location, and severity of the haemorrhage. [4][5][6][7][8][9] Very few data are available regarding aetiology and treatment protocols in different pediatric age group. We here, report our experience in a tertiary care hospital about the aetiology, management aspects of this issue.…”

Abstract: Abstract: Abstract:Epistaxis although is a common presentation that seldom require surgical intervention, it is still consider as an emergency. We report a case of 26 years old gentleman with atraumatic intractable anterior epistaxis after recent history of vaping. Purpose of this case report is to highlight the flow of management of anterior epistaxis. We provide a literature review for the sequence of actions for the management of anterior epistaxis and also a discussion on association between vaping habit and epistaxis.

“…11,12 The solid form of silver nitrate is used for chemical cauterization and antisepsis in the treatment of epistaxis and neonatal umbilical granulomas, whereas the solution form is widely used for prophylaxis of neonatal conjunctivitis. [13][14][15][16][17] The solution form of silver nitrate is also used for filarial chyluria in urology. 18,19 In addition, the solid form of silver nitrate has been found to be successful in the treatment of wart and nail granulomas and oral aphthous stomatitis.…”

Aim:The efficiency of a chemical cauterization technique in the treatment of high blind tracts, which are important causes of recurrence in anorectal fistula, were investigated. Materials and methods:Fifteen patients underwent surgery for low perianal fistula with high blind tracts. Partial fistulectomy and cutting seton technique was performed on all patients. The high blind tracts were cauterized by silver nitrate particles and the surgical area was left for secondary healing. The follow-up duration was 6 months to 1 year. The anal continence was evaluated according to the Wexner score.Results: Four of the 15 patients were female, whereas 11 were male. Ages ranged between 17 and 67 years. While 11 participants were primary cases, four were recurrent. Nine of the fistula tracts were intersphincteric and five were transsphincteric and one case had horseshoe fistula. The mean wound healing duration was 5.5 weeks. Mild anal incontinence (Wexner score = 3) was recorded in one case and recurrence was observed in another. Conclusion:Cauterization with silver nitrate is a new treatment method for high blind tract in anal fistulas. It is a safe and noninvasive method that reduces recurrences and surgical complications.
