We present a rare clinical case of distal penile gangrene in a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus after the implantation of malleable penile prosthesis. Necrosis of the glans penis, urethral meatus, dorsal penile shaft, and corpora cavernosa was observed, and a distal penectomy was performed.

Insertion of inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is generally regarded as a safe procedure, with low rates of complications. However, when complications do arise, they can pose significant challenges to both patients and surgeons. Patient optimization and adherence to specific intraoperative protocols are crucial in mitigating the risk of surgical complications.

As dental pulp contains the stem cells necessary for regeneration, the tooth should hold the intrinsic capacity for self-repair. A triphasic hybrid dental biocomposite (3HB) composed of biocompatible biopolymers to provide strength, antibacterial properties and protein-based cell support could provide a conducive microenvironment for the regeneration of dental structures. 3HB was incorporated into Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (ProRoot MTA) to construct a malleable injectable implant.

Alveolar bone defects pose a significant challenge in oral clinical treatments, impacting procedures such as dental implants, orthodontics, and oral restoration. Despite their frequent occurrence due to various causes, the effective restoration and reconstruction of alveolar bone defects remain a significant clinical challenge in dentistry. Existing treatments often rely on intrinsic blood coagulation to stabilize bone grafts, but they present limitations such as gradual clotting and reduced effectiveness in patients with coagulation dysfunction.

There are several types of annuloplasty devices for mitral repair. We present a totally-thoracoscopic robotic mitral repair using a new semi-rigid ring with a nitinol core that makes it malleable so that it can be inserted through a trocar. This technique combines the advantages of semi-rigid rings and a totally-thoracoscopic approach, which may further expand this approach to other aetiologies.

Achieving satisfactory alignment during intramedullary nailing of periarticular fractures can be technically challenging due to a combination of deforming forces and the lack of cortical contact by the nail in the articular segment metaphysis allowing malreduction to persist during nail passage. Although blocking screws are described to facilitate reduction, they risk impeding subsequent implant fixation. This article introduces an innovative Temporary Reduction Assisting Corridor Constraint Wires (TRACC-wires) technique to safely correct multiplanar deformities without limiting fixation options.
