An Innovative Approach of Utilizing the Digastric Tendon for Lower Lip Soft Tissue Repair: A Case Report.

Lower lip reconstruction following oral and neck oncosurgery presents significant challenges in maintaining function and esthetics. This case report describes a novel application of the digastric tendon for repairing the soft tissue of the lower lip in a patient undergoing wide excision of a lesion, bilateral modified radical neck dissection, segmental mandibulectomy, and free fibula flap repair. This innovative approach aims to maintain oral competence, strengthen the flap, and enhance esthetics.

A Comprehensive Review on Comparative Analysis of Operative Efficiency and Postoperative Recovery in Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Hepatectomy.

Minimally invasive liver surgery, particularly hepatectomy, has evolved significantly with the advent of laparoscopic and robotic techniques. These approaches offer potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and improved cosmetic outcomes. This comprehensive review aims to compare the operative efficiency and postoperative recovery outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic hepatectomy.
