Background: Deloyers technique addresses challenges in restoring bowel continuity following extended left hemicolectomies. Despite being first described in 1958, the technique remains underutilized, with limited data on long-term outcomes.
Objective: To evaluate the indications, surgical and functional outcomes of Deloyers technique and review existing literature.
Medial meniscus root tears (MMRTs) are serious injuries that disrupt knee biomechanics, often accelerating cartilage degeneration and osteoarthritis when left untreated. These injuries are increasingly recognized as a major cause of knee pain and functional limitations, particularly among middle-aged and older adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the outcomes of conservative management compared to surgical intervention for MMRT, focusing on pain relief, functional recovery, and the progression of osteoarthritis.

Materials And Methods: Prospective, single-center cohort that included ten consecutive patients (Goligher classification was II in 70% and III in 30%.) who underwent SRA and MRA embolization using a combination of microspheres and metallic coils, who completed a follow-up period of 12 months.
Acute first-time traumatic patellar dislocation is a prevalent knee injury, particularly in adolescents, often managed conservatively with knee bracing. Recently, medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has gained popularity for its potential benefits in reducing redislocation rates and enhancing functional outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the outcomes of MPFL reconstruction versus knee bracing for managing acute first-time traumatic patellar dislocation.

In families with one or more affected offspring, occurrence of the same apparently variants can be an indicator of mosaicism in either parent. Panel-based deep sequencing has the capacity to detect low-level mosaic variants with coverage exceeding the typical limit of detection provided by current, readily available sequencing techniques.
