Background: Wound repair methods are commonly used in clinical practice, such as skin graft and flap repair, which can cause secondary injuries, and high costs. Many methods for skin stretching and repair have been reported domestically and internationally. However, their clinical use is limited owing to lack of equipment, complexity, and high costs.

Department of Gynecology, Shenyang Women's and Children's Hospital, No. 87 Renao Road, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 110011, China.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors related to the failure of initial combined local methotrexate (MTX) treatment and minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2023, involving patients with late CSP (≥ 8 weeks) who received local MTX injection combined with either hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Cesarean scar pregnancy was classified as type I, II, or III based on the direction of growth of the gestational sac and the residual myometrial thickness as assessed by ultrasound.
Aesthetic Unit Preservation in Emergency Facial Lacerations: A Prospective Evaluation of Landmark-Based Nerve Blocks.

Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Sanya, China.
Background: Facial trauma repair requires precise reconstruction while preserving aesthetic units. Traditional local anesthesia can distort tissue planes and compromise surgical precision.
Methods: This prospective study evaluated landmark-based nerve blocks versus local infiltration for complex facial laceration repair in emergency settings from January 2022 through February 2023.
Little influence of the abandoned sac on seroma formation following laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair of lateral inguinal hernia.
Surg Endosc

Department of Surgery 1, General (Endoscopic) Surgery, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, 1-20-1 Handayama Chuouku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, 431-3192, Japan.
Background: The impact of completely reducing or transecting a hernia sac on seroma formation in laparoscopic surgery for lateral inguinal hernias remains debated. To date, no studies have compared the incidence of seroma in hernia sacs left untouched versus other surgical approaches. Abandoning the hernia sac involves avoiding manipulation of the inguinal canal, unlike the manipulation required for transection or reduction of the hernia sac.

Jesselson Integrated Heart Centre, Shaare Zedek Medical Center, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel.
Aims: To evaluate the association between transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation (MR) following acute myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on the aetiology of acute post-MI MR in high-risk surgical patients.
Methods And Results: The International Registry of MitraClip in Acute Mitral Regurgitation following Acute Myocardial Infarction (IREMMI) includes 187 patients with severe MR post-MI managed with TEER. Of these, 176 were included in the analysis, 23 (13%) patients had acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) and 153 (87%) acute secondary MR.
