The primary objective of this pilot study was to identify which aspects of in-office rhinologic procedures (IORPs) warrant further attention and investigation in the future. The secondary objectives were to survey which IORPs are most common and to i...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most diagnosed cancer, but it is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite the likelihood of gastric cancer metastasizing to the peritoneum, optimal management strategies for this population remain un...

Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are a major concern in orthopedics, particularly affecting active individuals and often necessitating surgery. The incidence of ACL injuries is rising, especially in women, comprising half of kn...

(1) Background: Pediatric intracranial aneurysms (PIA) are rare and clinicopathologically distinct neurovascular entities. The aims of this study are to evaluate our institution’s experience and corroborate our results with updated literature....

Anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies are used to prevent life-threatening complications associated with thrombosis. While there are numerous clinical guidelines for antithrombotic medications, there is an incomplete understanding of whether these...

The Bosniak classification of renal cysts aims to provide a probabilistic risk assessment indicating the likelihood of malignancy from imaging findings. Originally designed to classify adult renal cysts based on computed tomography findings, the Bosn...

Bone healing occurs through three consecutive and interdependent phases. While the acute inflammatory response is vital to fracture healing, chronic and systemic inflammation negatively affect the healing process. The bone tissue relies heavily on th...

Peripheral developing odontoma is a rare odontogenic lesion that mostly occurs in children. Their clinical and radiological features generally provide clinical suspicion of a benign lesion but only a histological examination may lead to the final dia...

Background: Inflammation has long been a key tenet in the diagnosis and management of malignancies, likely contributing to cancer incidence, staging, and progression. Systemic inflammation, in particular, is often elevated prior to and during cancer...

This study explores the innovative use of CO2 laser technology in frenuloplasty, a significant shift from classic methods like scalpel surgery or electrocautery towards a minimally invasive approach. The research involved 15 patients aged 25 to 50, u...

Objective: This systematic review was carried out with the primary objective of verifying which suture (polyamide or silk) of two non-resorbable suture materials with different structures had better/greater tensile strength/resistance to tension, the...

Background: Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare benign tumors that arise from the chemoreceptor tissue located at the carotid bifurcation that require excision if symptomatic. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, the carotid artery may ne...

Antihypertensive agents are commonly prescribed to manage hypertension and are known to be beneficial for bone formation and remodeling. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the impact that antihypertensive agents have on dental implant st...

Chylothorax is a rare condition where the extravasated chyle accumulates into the pleural space. It is most commonly associated with malignancies, infective or inflammatory disorders and iatrogenic causes. Extremely rarely, it could occur spontaneous...

This comprehensive review assessed the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry, offering a transparent overview of developments across dental fields. Covering articles in prosthodontics, orthodontics, implantology, surge...

The aim of this study was to assess surgical treatment in metacarpal shaft fractures of the second to fifth ray to determine the functional outcomes and complications in open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) versus closed reduction and internal...

Opportunistic salpingectomy (OS) for the primary prevention of ovarian cancer is performed by gynecologists. Advocates have suggested expanding its use to other surgical specialties. General surgeons are the other group to routinely perform intraperi...

While anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) has been considered the gold standard for ACL tears, renewed interest in ACL repair has emerged. This review aims to examine the current knowledge regarding ACL repair. A comprehensive literatur...

Patients with end-stage osteoarthritis are recommended to engage in physical activity (PA) to reduce pain and improve function but may avoid PA due to joint pain. Our goal was to investigate patient-reported outcomes and objective mobility metrics (s...

Autologous fat grafting, or lipotransfer, is an important surgical approach to relocate adipose tissue within an individual to create volume. While used extensively in plastic and reconstructive surgery, significant drawbacks exist, including unpredi...

Females of reproductive age constitute one of the largest demographics of the hip arthroscopy population, but it is unclear as to how pregnancy planning affects decision-making regarding surgery or vice versa. The purpose of this study was to assess...

Atypical teratoid-rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare but one of the most aggressive embryonal tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), most often occurring in children under 3 years of age. AT/RT accounts for about 1–2% of all CNS neoplasms an...

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic condition that is typically caused by a blood vessel exerting pressure on the V cranial nerve at the root entry zone. The gold standard for TN treatment is microvascular decompression (MVD). This illustrative ca...

The uterine tourniquet is often not used to reduce intraoperative blood loss due to controversial opinions in the literature. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure in laparotomic myomectomy. This is a retrospective, monoce...

Laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation has been developed for many decades. Among various conventional laryngoscopes, videolaryngoscopes (VLs) have been applied in different patient populations, including difficult airways. The safety and effectiveness...

Spine and hip abnormalities frequently occur together in most of the orthopedic population; therefore, both of these abnormalities impact the outcomes of the modalities that are being used. Few studies have reported reduced dislocation and revision r...

We aimed to study the relationship between mortality following emergency laparotomy (EL) in elderly patients and admission to a hospital facility, hypothesizing that patients initially admitted to a general surgery service have a better outcome. A re...
