Background: Paucity exists in the literature on uvular repair while documenting palatoplasty techniques for children with cleft palate.
Solution: We propose a modified approach without losing any soft tissue structures, gaining better cosmetic outcome, and possibly having functional gains postoperatively.
What We Did That Is New: The proposed technique provides better cosmesis for the structures postoperatively and enhances the palatoglossal arch, which may prevent the spillage of saliva to the oropharyngeal region.

Introduction: Laparoscopic ventral hernia mesh repair (LVHR) is gaining popularity possibly due to reduced complications, reduced hospital stay, early return to work and better cosmesis. In intra-peritoneal onlay method (IPOM) a dual layer composite mesh with an absorbable barrier on the visceral surface is used for minimising bowel adhesions. Three most popular prosthetic mesh scaffolds are polypropylene (PP), polyester and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE).

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has demonstrated its efficacy in diminishing postoperative pain, accelerating early recovery, and facilitating a prompt return to daily activities. Notably, the periareolar incision has gained prominence owing to its superior cosmesis. This article elucidates the procedural details for implementing periareolar incision access in MICS and providing insights into its technique and applications.

Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in the distal colon and rectum, leading to functional obstruction and severe constipation. Over the past decades, the surgical management of HD has significantly evolved, with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques revolutionizing treatment approaches. This review explores recent innovations in MIS for HD, focusing on laparoscopic, transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT), and robotic-assisted techniques.

Background And Objective: Thymectomy as a management strategy for juvenile myasthenia gravis (JMG) has been increasingly adopted with the advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques. This review evaluates existing evidence regarding the surgical management of JMG, including the benefits of surgical compared to medical therapy, important considerations when evaluating surgical candidacy and determining optimal timing of intervention. In addition, we provide an overview of the open, thoracoscopic and robotic surgical approaches available for thymectomy and compare the existing data to characterize optimal surgical management.
