A Scoping Review of Innervated Breast Reconstruction.

Background: After breast surgery, patients experience significant alterations to breast sensation, which can diminish quality of life. Nerve coaptation technique, introduced in the 1990s, has gained traction in recent years. We performed a scoping review of the literature to determine the available outcomes in sensate breast reconstruction.

Perioperative Management of Cleft Lip Repair: A Meta-Analysis and Clinical Practice Guideline.

Objective: Few studies have focused on perioperative management of cleft lip repair. We sought to evaluate the available data on this topic to create evidence-based clinical guidelines.

Design: Systematic review, meta-analysis.

Pediatric aortoiliac injury following blunt abdominal trauma: A case report.

Introduction: The most common mechanism of aortic injury involves motor vehicle collisions resulting in aortic disruptions, occurring almost exclusively in the chest. Injury to the abdominal aorta following blunt trauma is nearly twenty times less likely to occur than the thoracic aorta. Because of the low incidence, there are few reports regarding the presentation and repair of these particular injuries, especially in the pediatric population.

Trichobezoar presenting as a gastric outlet obstruction: A case report.

Introduction: Rapunzel syndrome is a rare intestinal condition that starts with the ingestion of a trichobezoar. The condition is predominately found in females and can be associated with trichotillomania, or the compulsive urge to pull one's own hair out. There are less than 40 cases described in the literature with the prevention of recurrence aimed at psychological treatment.

BioGlue for traumatic liver laceration.

Introduction: Advances in diagnostic imaging and monitoring have led to a shift towards primary non-operative management for most blunt liver injuries. Hemostatic biologic agents are a potential adjunct in the treatment of bile leak, especially in patients requiring surgery for drainage of a biloma.

Presentation Of Case: We present a 31year old woman who presented to the hospital after a motor vehicle accident.

Spontaneous collapse of bilateral bullae with conservative management.

We report a case of bilateral apical lung bullae that collapsed following an episode of community-acquired pneumonia with bilateral air fluid levels. With standard treatment for community-acquired pneumonia, management of a patient that may have qualified for bullectomy, (as in our case) showed complete resolution of all pathology without surgical intervention. Conservative management took precedence in alleviating pathology over surgical intervention.
