- This study assessed the effectiveness of a specific surgical approach, the preauricular retroparotid approach, for treating mandibular condyle fractures, examining the procedure's outcomes and related complications.
- The research included a review of 52 fractures in 42 patients, showing significant improvement in mouth opening and movement post-surgery, with 83% experiencing anterior open bite prior to treatment.
- While most patients had a good cosmetic result, indicated by a low Vancouver Scar Scale score, some complications were noted, including plate breakage in two cases.
Objective: Secondary lymphoedema (LE) is a chronic condition with limited surgical treatment options for restoring extremity form and function. This study aimed to establish a reproducible model of secondary LE and evaluate the preventive and corrective effects of fenestrated catheters (FC) and capillary tubes (CT).
Methods: Thirty-five rats underwent left hindlimb inguinal and popliteal lymph node dissection, followed by radiotherapy after two weeks.
Introduction: Peripheral nerve traumas are common injuries in young adult population. The myriad of techniques and medications have been defined to obtain better recovery but none of them was proved to have superior effect. This study aims to determine the anti-fibrotic effect of the decorin on sciatic nerve injury in order to enhance functional outcome.

- Reduction mammaplasty (RM) is a widely performed plastic surgery, and its popularity is rising despite the associated costs.
- A study analyzed the prevalence of breast lesions among 733 women who underwent RM in Turkey, finding that a significant portion had benign conditions, with fibrocystic changes being the most common.
- The research suggests that RM provides an opportunity to detect potentially serious issues like breast cancer, emphasizing the importance of pathological examination for all breast tissue removed during the procedure.
