Urinary Incontinence (UI) in Saudi Female Population: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Impact on Quality of Life.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent health concern among women globally. However, its prevalence, associated risk factors, and impact on quality of life among Saudi women remain underexplored.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of UI, identify its risk factors, and understand its impact on the quality of life among Saudi women.

Harvesting Costal Cartilage for Secondary Rhinoplasty: Techniques, Considerations, and Outcomes.

Secondary rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose after the unsatisfactory results of primary rhinoplasty, which usually requires a reliable source of cartilage for grafting. Septal cartilage is usually the first option for rhinoplasty, but in cases where it is insufficient, rib cartilage might be used, which is the focus of the current study. The article details the surgical techniques for rib cartilage harvesting, highlighting the preference for the seventh rib done under general anaesthesia.

Triad of temporomandibular joint ankylosis, micrognathia, and obstructive sleep apnoea: a systematic review of surgical management.

Complex functional issues arising from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis are associated with abnormal mandibular growth secondary to the condylar-glenoid fossa and its surrounding structures. These include severe limited mouth opening, micrognathia, mandibular asymmetry, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which necessitate effective treatment to allow optimum functional rehabilitation. This article aims to present a comprehensive systematic review of the surgical strategy for patients who present with a triad of TMJ ankylosis, micrognathia and OSA via a literature search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus following PRISMA guidelines.

A 3-Dimensional Morphometric Analysis of 4 Midsagittal Planes for CT Scan Reference Determination in Children with Syndromic Craniosynostosis.

Objective: To identify the suitable and practical midsagittal plane (MSP) reference for computed tomography (CT) scan skull analysis in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Tertiary referral hospital.

Skeletal expansion via craniofacial distraction osteogenesis technique in syndromic craniosynostosis: impact on ophthalmic parameters.

Background: This study aims to compare the changes in ophthalmic parameters among syndromic craniosynostosis patients who underwent craniofacial skeletal expansion procedures via distraction osteogenesis (DO).

Method: A retrospective study was conducted involving syndromic craniosynostosis patients who underwent surgical expansion via the DO technique from the year 2012 to March 2022. Changes in six parameters which consist of visual acuity, refractive error, optic disc health, intraocular pressure, degree of proptosis and orbital volume were measured objectively pre and post-surgery.
