Overall 553 patients aged 9 to 77 years with cicatrical stenoses of trachea were treated. The causes of stenoses were tracheostomy (345 patients), intubation of trachea (155), trauma (29), unknown (24). Surgical methods of treatment were used at 448 (81.0%) patients, endoscopic methods--at 105 (19.0%); overall 1184 operations have been performed. Transplantation of donor thyrotracheal complex has been performed at 1 patient with subtotal cicatrical stenosis of trachea. Combination of staged reconstructive and plastic operations with endoscopic procedures permits to achieve good functional results. Treatment of these patients should be performed at special medical centers which have all the necessary technologies.

The development of gallstones is linked to abnormal cholesterol and bilirubin metabolism, reduced gallbladder function, insulin resistance, biliary infections, and genetic factors. In addition to these factors, research has shown that mucins play a role in gallstone formation.

Lymphedema is characterized by persistent swelling due to impaired lymphatic function and presents significant challenges in both research and clinical settings. Traditional contact-based measurement techniques such as paw thickness and circumferential measurements using calipers or silk thread are useful but limited by observer variability and measurement accuracy. Non-contact methods, including various imaging techniques, offer improvements but often at higher cost and complexity.

Fractures involving the mandibular condyle are a significant subset of mandibular fractures, demanding specialized implant design considerations for effective surgical treatment. The core objective of this study was to assess the clinical and radiographic results in patients treated with a single rhombic-shaped implant according to the surgical approach used. This retrospective cohort investigation, spanning a ten-year recruitment window, included individuals with unilateral fractures who underwent surgical treatment with a rhombic-shaped implant.
