During the past decade, the evolution of surgical techniques and philosophy for revision surgery after stapedectomy has accelerated. Lasers, new surgical techniques, and new prostheses now permit the precise identification and reliable correction of the conductive problem, while reducing the risk of postoperative sensorineural hearing loss that plagued nonlaser revision techniques.

Age-Related Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate Characteristics for Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot Before Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Placement.
JACC Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Montreal Heart Institute, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate characteristics before transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) are unknown.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate substrates for sustained monomorphic VT before TPVR in rTOF.
Methods: Retrospective (2017 to 2021) and prospective (commencing 2021) rTOF patients with native right ventricular outflow tract referred for electrophysiology study (EPS) before TPVR were included.
The Evidence Alone Was Not Enough to Change Practice: A Mixed-methods Analysis Using a Standardized Framework to Understand Perceptions of Barriers and Compliance to ERAS Recommendations.
J Perianesth Nurs
January 2025
Division of Abdominal Transplantation, Carolinas Medical Center, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Atrium Health, Charlotte, NC.
Purpose: Understanding barriers to compliance can aid in mitigation strategies to address them. This study aims to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the relationship between barriers to ERAS recommendations and perceived ability to assure compliance among multidisciplinary team (MDT) members who deliver Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) care.
Design: Embedded mixed-methods survey analysis.
Penehyclidine Hydrochloride: A Promising Antimuscarinic Agent for PONV Prophylaxis in Diverse Surgical Procedures.
J Perianesth Nurs
January 2025
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Al Mouwasat University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Damascus University, Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic; Faculty of Medicine, Syrian Private University, Damascus, Syrian Arab Republic.
Purpose: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to measure the effectiveness of penehyclidine hydrochloride hydrate (PHC)-an antimuscarinic drug-in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) for different surgeries.
Design: Meta-analysis.
Methods: According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted an online literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases.
Adolescent Coronal Shear Fractures of the Distal Humerus: Surgical Approach and Outcomes.
J Hand Surg Am
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, MO. Electronic address:
Purpose: Isolated coronal shear fractures of the distal humerus in adolescents are rare injuries with unique surgical challenges. Respect for the posterior blood supply, open physes, and need for direct visualization to achieve anatomic reduction are critical considerations in surgical fixation. This study presents a case series and a surgical approach used in treating these patients.

J Hand Surg Am
January 2025
Division of Plastic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia; Division of Plastic, Reconstructive and Oral Surgery, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. Electronic address:
Purpose: Acute hand infections (AHIs) remain a challenge for hand surgeons and represent a condition for which clinical outcomes are considerably affected by social barriers. We previously described the looped Penrose drainage technique, where a drain is sutured to itself in a loop and the outflow tract of egress is maintained, thus obviating the need for large incisions, wound closure, or repeat packing, thereby reducing the follow-up burden. In the face of escalating numbers of socioeconomically vulnerable patients, especially in urban settings, we aimed to characterize the clinical features and outcomes of this technique in an urban population of patients with AHI.
