Objective: To explore the better management of the stoma in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.
Method: To review the 102 chronic dacryocystitis patients (109 eyes), who underwent the endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy surgery with silver clips used to maintain the stoma. They were given combined therapy after the surgery, and were followed up for a period range from 3-73 months.
Result: 99/109 eyes (91%) were cured, 5/109 eyes (4.5%) were improved, and the total effective rate reached to 104/109 (95.5%).
Conclusion: The application of silver clip in endoscopy dacryocystorhinostomy surgery and combined therapy after the surgery can effectively prevent the stoma stenosis or atresia.

Novel digital leakage notification system can promote better stoma management routines: a multicentre clinical trial.
Br J Nurs
January 2025
Principal Clinical Strategy Project Manager, Coloplast A/S, Holtedam 1, Humlebæk, Denmark.
Background: Most people with a stoma are anxious about stoma-related leakage.
Aims: To investigate the impact of a novel digital leakage notification system on worry related to stoma leakage, and to evaluate the effect on overall stoma care management.
Method: A 12-week interventional, single-arm, multicentre study was conducted in the UK to evaluate the novel digital leakage notification system, including a telemedicine-based support service (=test product), as part of routine stoma care in patients with a recent stoma formation (ClinicalTrials.
Stent stoma: Endoscopic stent insertion for refractory small intestine fistulas.
Scand J Surg
January 2025
Interdisciplinary Endoscopy Centre, Heidelberg University Hospital, Im Neuenheimer Feld 410, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany.
Background And Aims: The therapeutic management of fistulas presents significant challenges, often involving both conservative and surgical approaches. Despite these interventions, recurrence and postoperative mortality rates remain high. Endoscopic stent insertion into the fistula, along with the creation of a stent stoma, may offer a promising alternative for patients who fail surgical or conservative therapies.

J Pediatr Urol
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Surgery and Urology, Medical University of Silesia, ul. Medyków 16, 40-752, Katowice, Poland.
Introduction: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) can severely affect the urinary tract, leading to strictures and urine outflow obstruction, which pose significant risks to kidney function. Procedures involving the urinary mucosa often exacerbate these issues, making safe bladder emptying a major challenge. This study reviews surgical methods for managing urological complications in EB patients, with a focus on the Macedo procedure, which offers a promising alternative that avoids further bladder mucosa irritation and prevents disease exacerbation.

Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe), Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Australia.
Objective: To explore the perspectives and experiences of patients and carers living with the long-term consequences of pelvic exenteration.
Summary Background Data: Pelvic exenteration is accepted as the standard of care for selected patients with locally advanced or recurrent rectal cancer. With contemporary 5-year survival reported at 40-60%, the number of long-term survivors is expected to increase.
Surgical technique of minor revision of a transcutaneous osseointegration prosthetic system (TOPS) with implant retention.
Oper Orthop Traumatol
January 2025
AOFE Clinics Oosterbeek, Oosterbeek, The Netherlands.
Objective: Transcutaneous osseointegration prosthetic systems (TOPS) offer a stable skeletal attachment for artificial limbs post-extremity amputation, serving as an alternative to socket attachment. Press-fit osseointegration implants (OI) utilized in TOPS consistently enhance quality of life and mobility for amputees, particularly those experiencing socket-related issues. Despite notable benefits, late complications such as infection and implant loosening pose challenges unique to TOPS due to their percutaneous nature.
