In extreme cases surgical intervention may attempt to restore the Eustachian tube tissues with fat, gel foam, or cartilage or scar it closed with cautery.

The cautery instrument is removed and replaced by the grasping instrument, which is used to pull the ovary out through the small abdominal incision ( port ).
23.
The concept of chest drainage was first advocated by Hippocrates when he described the treatment of empyema by means of incision, cautery, and insertion of metal tubes.
24.
This is higher if more destructive methods of tubal ligation ( tubal cautery, partial removal of the tubes ) have been used than less destructive methods ( tubal clipping ).
25.
If the bleeding is too copious, the chemical cautery may not be effective, as the flowing blood can wash away the chemical before it can react with the tissue.
26.
Albucasis ( Abu al-Qasim Khalaf ibn al-Abbas Al-Zahrawi ) used cautery for toothache, inserting a red-hot needle into the pulp of the tooth.
27.
Early experiments on eyespot morphogenesis used cautery on the butterfly wing eyespot foci to demonstrate that a long range signaling mechanism or morphogen gradient controlled eyespot formation in both space and time.
28.
A modified surgical technique, used on more than 50 lesions, is sharp-tipped cautery followed by expression of cyst contents and forceps-assisted removal of the cyst wall.
29.
Lesions involving the reticular dermis, may be out of the reach of pulsed-dye laser, cautery or shave excision and therefore have a recurrence rate of 43.5 %.
30.
Cautery was historically believed to prevent infection, but current research shows that cautery actually increases the risk for infection by causing more tissue damage and providing a more hospitable environment for bacterial growth.
