Article Synopsis
- This study examines the safety and effectiveness of minor hand surgeries performed in an office setting, focusing on concerns about sterility and resources for complications.
- A review of surgeries done from December 2020 to December 2021 revealed a low complication rate, with only a small percentage of patients experiencing minor post-operative issues.
- The findings suggest that with appropriate techniques like the WALANT method, in-office hand surgeries can be safe and successful for selected procedures, emphasizing the importance of patient selection.
Background: Peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are used in multiple surgical fields to provide a high level of regional pain relief with a favorable adverse effect profile. Peripheral nerve blocks aim to decrease overall perioperative pain and lower systemic analgesic requirements. Short-acting anesthetic agents are commonly given as single-injection PNBs for pain relief, typically lasting less than 24 hours.

This study investigates the degree of patient satisfaction, out-of-pocket costs, peri- and postoperative pain, convenience, and comfort experienced with in-office hand procedures compared to ambulatory surgery center (ASC) procedures. Methods A 10-question survey consisting of a 10-point Likert scale of agreement and numerical questions was administered to patients treated with minor hand operations in the office and ASC settings in Florida, USA.

Bull Hosp Jt Dis (2013)
June 2022
Background: Cubital tunnel syndrome and the resulting loss of hand dexterity and strength may necessitate surgical management. Studies have demonstrated no difference in outcome between surgical techniques. In an attempt to leave more ulnar nerves in situ while providing for stability within the cubital tunnel, we suggest a surgical treatment approach.

- Knee pain, especially medial knee pain, often stems from issues like a torn medial meniscus or inflammation of the medial plica, which can become symptomatic remnants from knee development.
- Diagnosis typically requires a physical exam and imaging, but definitive confirmation usually happens through arthroscopy, making medial plica syndrome frequently overlooked.
- Treatment options include physiotherapy, corticosteroid injections, or surgery, with many patients experiencing positive outcomes and returning to their normal activities after proper diagnosis and care.
The majority of anatomical textbooks offer very little information concerning the anatomy and distribution of the superior phrenic artery (SPA). However, in the last decade, a number of reports have appeared with reference to the transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of the collateral arterial supply of hepatic carcinoma (HC). Considering the potential role of the SPA as a source of collateral blood supply to HC, the aim of this study was to identify the origin and distribution of the SPA.
