Asciminib Use Highlighting Underlying Moyamoya Disease: A Case Report.

We highlight here a case of Moyamoya disease (MMD) developed after treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Moyamoya, a term meaning "a hazy puff of smoke" in Japanese, denotes a chronic occlusive cerebrovascular condition involving bilateral stenosis or closure of the terminal part of the internal carotid arteries (ICAs) and the proximal sections of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) and middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) resulting in the development of abnormal vascular collaterals. A 40-year-old African-American female with a past medical history of CML presented to the oncology clinic with expressive aphasia.

The Role of Fish Skin Xenografts in Healing Complex Wounds: A Brief Case Report.

Non-healing wounds profoundly impact patient quality of life and present a significant financial burden. The Kerecis™ fish skin xenograft is a decellularized skin matrix that has been introduced to treat complicated wounds. The objective of this presentation is to highlight the use of fish skin xenograft in the treatment of a complex right flank wound with stool contamination, necrotizing soft tissue infection due to perforated colon cancer, and sepsis.

Robotic Single-Site Cholecystectomy: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Objective Our goal is to describe and report the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic single-site cholecystectomy at a single institution. Background Cholecystectomy is a common procedure performed to remove the gallbladder. Robotic single-site cholecystectomy (RSSC) is rapidly emerging as a safe and feasible alternative to conventional 4-port laparoscopic techniques.

Robotic Sigmoidectomy With Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction: A Single-Center Experience.

Background Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) involves the removal of specimens through a naturally occurring orifice, such as the anus, rather than trans-abdominal extraction. NOSE procedures have been shown to significantly reduce postoperative complications and improve healing.  Objective The purpose of this case series is to report the outcomes of 27 patients undergoing sigmoidectomies through natural orifice specimen extraction.
