Enhancing Outcomes and Efficiency in Large Epidermal Cyst Management: Quality Improvement Approach in Primary Care.

Background: Epidermal cysts are common benign lesions encountered in primary care, especially in minor surgery clinics. The management of large epidermal cysts (>5 cm in diameter) poses significant challenges, including surgical intervention requirements, potential for complications, and impacts on patient care and clinic workflow. The prevalence of these cysts underlines the need for optimised management strategies that are essential for enhancing patient outcomes and clinic efficiency.

Computerized Versus Traditional Approaches for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Quantitative Analysis of Knee Society Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery for osteoarthritis, with increasing prevalence expected in the near future. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the effectiveness of computerized TKA versus traditional TKA, focusing on postoperative outcomes measured by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and the Knee Society score (KSS). A search on PubMed and Cochrane databases on November 14, 2023 for retrospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) yielded data on WOMAC and KSS.
