Following surgical treatment of a jaw cyst, bony cavities are formed. These cavities are prone to infection when they communicate with the oral environment. Hence, proper irrigation is a crucial aspect of postsurgical care, as it helps to reduce debris buildup and the risk of infection.

Statement Of Problem: The impact of free gingival graft (FGG) dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of keratinized tissue width (KTW) and surface area in posterior implant sites is unclear. Standardized assessments of how graft dimensions influence KTW and surface area shrinkage rates over a 6-month period after FGG are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective parallel cohort study was to examine the impact of the graft dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of KTW and surface area over a 6-month follow-up period after FGG in the posterior regions.

Introduction: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) represents a widely underdiagnosed and often poorly treated medical problem, affecting 10-50% of all surgical patients, exhibiting neuropathic features in 35-60%. It is hypothesised that surgery-induced tissue damage and the subsequent immune response cause sensory alterations in the early postoperative period, ultimately leading to a chronic neuropathic or nociplastic pain state. The 'Sensory Changes and Immunological parameters in Postsurgical pain' study (SCIP-Pain study) was designed to test this hypothesis and identify sensory alterations and changes in the immunological response that are related to the development of CPSP with neuropathic features.

Introduction: Perianal abscesses pose a considerable obstacle in the realm of postoperative wound treatment owing to their elevated susceptibility to infection and associated consequences. Polymyxin B Ointment, a compound renowned for its antibacterial qualities, has the potential to provide therapeutic advantages by promoting wound healing and mitigating postoperative problems.
Methods: Our institution conducted a thorough retrospective analysis spanning from December 2020 to December 2023 to assess the effectiveness of Compound Polymyxin B Ointment in the management of surgical wounds in patients diagnosed with perianal abscesses.

Objective: The most common medically resistant epilepsy (MRE) involves the temporal lobe (TLE), and children designated as temporal plus epilepsy (TLE+) have a five-times increased risk of postoperative surgical failure. This retrospective, blinded, cross-sectional study aimed to correlate visual and computational analyses of magnetoencephalography (MEG) virtual sensor waveforms with surgical outcome and epilepsy classification (TLE and TLE+).
Methods: Patients with MRE who underwent MEG and iEEG monitoring and had at least 1 year of postsurgical follow-up were included in this retrospective analysis.
