Background: Owing to reportedly superior prognosis, proximal gastrectomy (PG) is expected to be an alternative to total gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer. However, limited data are available regarding the optimal anti-reflux reconstruction method after PG. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic PG with single-tract jejunal interposition (LPG-STJI), double-tract reconstruction (LPG-DTR), and tube-like stomach reconstruction (LPG-TLR) on surgical outcomes in patients with upper-third gastric cancer.

Background: Severe skeletal class II malocclusion is the indication for combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment.

Case Summary: A woman with a chief complaint of a protruding chin and an inability to close her lips requested orthodontic camouflage. The treatment plan consisted of extracting the right upper third molar, right lower third molar, left lower second molar, and left upper third molar and moving the maxillary dentition distally using a convenient method involving microimplant nail anchors, push springs, long arm traction hooks, and elastic traction chains.

Background: Although short-term results are promising, there are limited data for long-term results of arthroscopic subscapularis (SSC) repair. The purpose of this study is to report minimum 10-year outcomes of primary arthroscopic repair of isolated partial or full-thickness tears of the upper third of the SSC tendon.

Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of isolated upper third SSC tears, Lafosse type I (>50% of tendon thickness) or type II were included.

Extensive defects in the head and neck area often require the use of advanced free flap reconstruction techniques. In this study, the thoracodorsal perforator-scapular free flap technique based on the angular artery (TDAP-Scap-aa flap) was postoperatively evaluated regarding the quality of life and the donor site morbidity using the standardized SF-36 and DASH questionnaires (short form health 36 and disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand scores). Over a five-year period (2016−2020), 20 selected cases (n = 20) requiring both soft and hard tissue reconstruction were assessed.

High median nerve (HMN) injuries are unusual clinical conditions, but they generate significant disability of the affected extremities to perform even basic activities of daily living. Even though they can display different degrees of dysfunction due to overlapping innervation and musculature compensation, an early assessment of the existing functional deficits and a timely surgical approach can optimize the long-term outcome. The use of distal nerve transfer procedures has gained popularity since they reduce the distance between the injured zone and the disrupted targets, accelerate the nerve regeneration and subsequently optimize the postoperative motor and sensory recovery.
