Implant dislocation following type 1 tyroplasty mostly results from the effects of triggering factors in the early postoperative period. A 42-year-old female patient who had had tyroplasty type 1 surgery with silastic implant, applied to our clinic with cough episodes, dyspnea and hoarseness following an upper airway infection 10 years after the surgery. In laryngeal endoscopic examination of the patient, white colored irregularity on anterior left vocal cord and left band ventricule fullness was seen. Regarding the patient's medical history, it was thought that the silastic prosthesis which had been implanted in the type 1 thyroplasty surgery might have displaced. The silastic prosthesis was removed by means of microsurgery technique through endolaryngeal way under general anesthesia. During the first month follow-up of the patient, dyspnea and hoarseness complaints were improved right away and she had no other problems. The causes and consequences of displacement of the prothesis which rarely occurs, after tyroplasty type 1 have been discussed along with the latest data in the literature.

The voluntary recall of textured breast implants due to their association with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has resulted in the loss of the primary advantage of the textured surface: positional stability. We have engineered a novel soft gel-filled smooth implant with a surface that promotes positional stability without texture, known as the positionally stable smooth implant (PSSI). Miniature anatomically shaped breast implant shells were fabricated from polydimethylsiloxane using 3D-printed molds.

Article Synopsis
- - Chronic ear diseases often lead to ossicular defects, requiring the use of ossicular reconstruction prostheses like TORP (total ossicular replacement prosthesis) and PORP (partial ossicular replacement prosthesis) to restore hearing continuity.
- - Research shows that using a malleus to footplate reconstruction yields better mechanical outcomes than malleus to stapes superstructure, but long-term effectiveness of TORP versus PORP remains unclear.
- - A study involving 60 patients with Austin type A defects found significant post-operative improvements in hearing for both TORP and PORP groups, with 90% of patients showing mild hearing loss after surgery compared to their pre-operative condition.

This study reports the development of the first copolymer material that (i) is resistant to fungal attachment and hence biofilm formation, (ii) operates via a nonkilling mechanism, i.e., avoids the use of antifungal actives and the emergence of fungal resistance, (iii) exhibits sufficient elasticity for use in flexible medical devices, and (iv) is suitable for 3D printing (3DP), enabling the production of safer, personalized medical devices.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is gathering increased attention due to its remarkable physico-chemical features. The high biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and mechanical and thermal stability endorse BC as a suitable candidate for biomedical applications. Nonetheless, exploiting BC for tissue regeneration demands three-dimensional, intricately shaped implants, a highly ambitious endeavor.

Endothelial cells are sensitive to mechanical force and can convert it into biochemical signals to trigger mechano-chemo-transduction. Although conventional techniques have been used to investigate the subsequent modifications of cellular expression after mechanical stimulation, the in situ and real-time acquiring the transient biochemical information during mechanotransduction process remains an enormous challenge. In this work, we develop a flexible and multi-functional three-dimensional conductive scaffold that integrates cell growth, mechanical stimulation, and electrochemical sensing by in situ growth of enokitake-like Au nanowires on a three-dimensional porous polydimethylsiloxane substrate.
