    The most widely used method of scar revision next to scar removal is

    • A.

      Chemical peel

    • B.

      Sanding

    • C.

      Z-plasty

    • D.

      Planing

    Correct Answer
    C. Z-plasty
    Explanation
    Z-plasty is a widely used method of scar revision because it is effective in improving the appearance of scars. It involves creating small triangular flaps of skin on both sides of the scar and then rearranging them in a zigzag pattern. This technique helps to break up the scar tissue and redistribute tension, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing scar. Z-plasty also allows for better alignment of the scar with natural skin tension lines, making it less noticeable. Compared to scar removal or other methods like chemical peel or planing, Z-plasty offers a more comprehensive and long-lasting solution for scar revision.

    The use of distilled water during a highly invasive genitourinary procedure such as a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)  is prohibited for irrigation because of the potential for

    • A.

      Hemolysis of RBC

    • B.

      Electrolytic dissipation of current

    • C.

      Increase of blood pressure

    • D.

      Body fluid shift

    Correct Answer
    A. Hemolysis of RBC
    Explanation
    Distilled water is pure water with no minerals or ions. When used for irrigation during TURP, it can cause hemolysis of red blood cells (RBC). This is because the distilled water lacks the necessary electrolytes and minerals to maintain the osmotic balance of the RBCs. The sudden change in osmolarity can cause the RBCs to burst, leading to hemolysis. Therefore, the use of distilled water for irrigation in TURP is prohibited to prevent this potential complication.

    When the male penis is curved ventrally with the meatus and the glans in close proximity to each other it is called

    • A.

      Paraphimosis

    • B.

      Phimosis

    • C.

      Epispadias

    • D.

      Chordee

    Correct Answer
    D. Chordee
    Explanation
    Chordee is the correct answer because it refers to a condition where the male penis is curved ventrally, meaning it bends downward. This curvature causes the meatus (the opening of the urethra) and the glans (the head of the penis) to be in close proximity to each other. Paraphimosis refers to the retraction of the foreskin behind the glans and inability to pull it back to its original position. Phimosis refers to the tightness of the foreskin that prevents it from being pulled back. Epispadias is a condition where the urethra opens on the upper side of the penis.
