Complications of Silicone Fillers in Gluteal Augmentation: An Unusual Case of Filler Migration and Granuloma Formation.

Silicone liquid (polydimethylsiloxane) is an inert material commonly used for cosmetic purposes. A combination of both systematic and local devastating complications can cause end-organ toxicity and multi-organ dysfunction. In this article, we examine the literature and present a case of a patient who presented with lower extremity filler migration and granuloma formation 11 years post gluteal silicone injection.

Incidence and Factors Associated with Uncontrolled Hypertension at 12 months after Kidney Transplantation in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Uncontrolled blood pressure (uBP) after kidney transplantation (KTx) is very common and is associated with significant morbidity. However, studies that assess its incidence and risk factors are limited and outdated in the Middle East.

Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study of KTx recipients (KTRs) in our center between January 2017 and May 2020 with a 12-month follow-up period.

Emotional Intelligence and Burnout Among Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Residents.

Background: Burnout syndrome is common among surgical residents, negatively affecting their mental health, physical wellbeing, and work performance. We investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and burnout among Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery residents.

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 51 residents across different Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery programs at various hospitals in Saudi Arabia using a survey conducted between January 2021 and March 2021.

Postoperative Assessment of Pedicle Screws and Management of Breaches: A Survey among Canadian Spine Surgeons and a New Scoring System.

Study Design: This study was designed as a survey amongst Canadian spine surgeon to determine a scoring system to standardize pedicle screw placement assessment.

Purpose: This study aimed to obtain and analyze the opinions of spine surgeons regarding the assessment of pedicle screw accuracy, with the goal of establishing clinical guidelines for interventions for malpositioned pedicle screws.

Overview Of Literature: Accurate placement of pedicle screws is challenging, and misalignment can lead to various complications.

The use of computer-assisted surgery as an educational tool for the training of orthopedic surgery residents in pedicle screw placement: a pilot study and survey among orthopedic residents.

Background: The training of orthopedic residents in adequate pedicle screw placement is very important. We sought to investigate orthopedic residents' perspectives on the use of computer-assisted surgery (CAS) in a training trial.

Methods: Orthopedic residents were randomly assigned to independently place a screw using the free-hand technique and the CAS technique on 1 of 3 cadavers (Cobb angles 5º, 15º and 67º) at randomly selected thoracolumbar vertebral levels.
