Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve is stretched, compressed or irritated where it crosses the elbow – a spot often referred to as the “funny bone.” 

Cystectomy is surgery to remove all or part of the bladder.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical option for patients with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and Tourette’s syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein. They are most common in the leg, but may develop in the arm or other part of the body.

 Depression—also called “clinical depression” or a “depressive disorder”—is a mood disorder that causes distressing symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working.

A dermoid cyst is a pocket or hole under the skin that contains tissue normally found in the outer layers of the skin, which might be hair follicles, oil, and sweat glands. Oil and sweat collect inside the cyst, causing it to get larger.

The septum is the wall of cartilage that separates the nostrils, dividing the nose into two separate chambers. A deviated septum is when this wall isn’t straight. 

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system, which normally fights infection, mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. As a result, the pancreas can no longer make insulin, a hormone essential for moving glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into cells for energy.  

Neuropathy and blood vessel disease resulting in poor circulation both increase the risk of foot wounds. Neuropathy causes loss of feeling in your feet, taking away your ability to feel pain and discomfort. When a patient with diabetes loses sensation in the feet, sores or injuries may go unnoticed until ulcers develop. Poor circulation in the feet reduces your ability to heal, making it hard for even a tiny cut to resist infection.

Detecting and diagnosing esophageal cancer as early as possible increases the chances of successful treatment.

Discectomy is surgery to remove all or part of a cushion that helps protects the spine.
