Introduction: The performance of a prosthetic breast augmentation through the axilla always makes the surgeon fear the possibility of damage to the breast lymphatic network. Indocyanine green is a fluorescent marker allowing the analysis of the lymphatic system. This anatomical work aims at demonstrating, thanks to the use of indocyanine green, whether the realization of a prosthetic breast augmentation by axillary way leads to lesions of the breast lymphatic network and also seeks to show the feasibility of detecting the axillary sentinel node after axillary breast augmentation.

Introduction: The abductor pollicis longus (APL) presents two muscle bellies and multiple accessory tendons available for transfer, amongst these an accessory tendon inserting on the thenar aponeurosis (APLTh). Edgerton described an opponensplasty using the whole APL tendon, but its results were limited due to the short size of the donor tendon.

Hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of transferring the APLTh for thumb opposition.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined women's representation on editorial boards of surgical, anesthesia, and obstetric (SAO) journals in Latin America in 2021.
  • Despite analyzing 19 out of 25 journals, women only held 17% of editorial positions, with fewer in academic roles (14.3%) compared to senior (28.9%) and non-academic (38.4%) ones.
  • The findings indicate significant underrepresentation of women, particularly in surgical journals, and suggest the need for strategies to promote gender equity in SAO specialties.

Total scalp avulsion is a rare and severe injury that may be life threatening and can result in devastating disfigurement and psychological trauma. Microsurgical hair-bearing scalp replantation is considered the procedure of choice and should be performed by a skilled surgical team. Replantation of a multifragmented scalp is even rarer and shows random results.

We have examined the genetic variability of Mycoplasma bovis strains submitted to the Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostics Laboratory, University Park (PA-ADL), between December 2007 and December 2008. Of 4,868 total samples submitted for Mycoplasma testing, 302 were determined to be culture positive. Mycoplasma bovis (63.
