Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the survival rate, the bone loss and soft-tissue healing patterns of immediately loaded and immediately restored implants in cases of partial posterior mandibular edentulism.
Material And Methods: Fifty patients with partial posterior mandibular edentulism were randomly selected for two treatments: 25 were included in the immediate loading group (test) and 25 in the immediate restoration group (control). All implants were placed in healed sites with a torque of >25 N cm. The temporary prosthesis of the immediate restoration group was placed so as to avoid occlusal contact in centric and lateral excursions. Both groups received fully occluding final restorations 6 months after surgery. Mean marginal bone loss was assessed at 6-, 12-, 24- and 36-month follow-up examinations by a blinded examiner.
Results: A total of 100 implants were placed in the period between February 2004 and October 2006, of which 42 (42%) were for men and 58 (58%) for women. Five and 7 weeks after surgery, mobility of one implant was assessed in one (4%) patient in the test group and one (4%) patient in the control group, respectively. At the 36-month follow-up, the accumulated mean marginal bone loss was 0.987 mm (SD=0.375) for the immediate restoration group (n=48) and 0.947 mm (SD=0.323) for the immediate loading group (n=48). There was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) for the tested outcome measures between the two procedures.
Conclusions: This study was unable to detect any statistically significant difference in the survival rate, bone loss and soft tissue healing patterns between the immediately loaded and the immediately restored implants in cases of partial posterior mandibular edentulism. The immediate temporary rehabilitation of the partially edentulous posterior mandible is a predictable procedure using both procedures.

Transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy: a comparison of operative and oncological outcomes between posterior and anterolateral tumours.
Int Urol Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Zealand University Hospital, Roskilde, Denmark.
Objective: To compare operative and oncological outcomes, as well as the risk of postoperative complications in patients who underwent transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal tumours located either posteriorly or anterolaterally.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive study including 451 patients who underwent transperitoneal RAPN for non-metastatic, localised renal tumours from May 2016 to April 2023. Operative data included duration of the procedure, warm ischaemia time, and blood loss; oncological data included surgical margins and recurrence; and 90-day postoperative complications were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification.
Comparison of Partial Endoscopic vs Surgical Fundoplication after Hiatal Hernia Repair.
J Am Coll Surg
January 2025
Prisma Health Upstate Department of Surgery, Greenville, SC.
Background: The concomitant hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (c-TIF) is a novel anti-reflux procedure that addresses the hiatus and the gastro-esophageal flap valve for surgical candidates with GERD. We aim to compare the outcomes of a hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (TIF) vs surgical partial fundoplication (anterior and posterior) with regards to quality-of-life scores at 12 months after surgery.
Study Design: Following IRB approval, a prospectively maintained anti-reflux database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent a c-TIF procedure or a surgical hiatal hernia repair with partial fundoplication.
Transoral C2 osteotomy for treatment of severe irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation after odontoid fracture: about 3 cases.
Neurochirurgie

Department of Neurosurgery, Hôpital de la Timone, APHM. 264 rue Saint-Pierre, 13005, Marseille, France. Electronic address:
Objective: To report the outcomes of transoral C2 osteotomy (or partial odontoidectomy) and posterior fixation, regarding efficacy and safety, in patients with severe irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation (IAAD) following odontoid fracture.
Methods: Transoral C2 osteotomy, soft tissue resection, with or without facet joint release, followed by posterior fixation were performed on 3 patients (2012, 2016, 2023) who were suffering from severe IAAD after an odontoid fracture with spinal cord compression. The radiological and clinical outcomes were then assessed.
Biventricular Dysfunction Due to Chronic Mitral Valve Regurgitation Caused by Aberrant Mitral Arcade.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
A 53-year-old male individual with chronic severe mitral regurgitation presented with biventricular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography demonstrated a posterior leaflet prolapse with malcoaptation. Mitral valve repair and Maze procedure were performed, revealing absent chordae and direct connection from the anterolateral papillary muscle to the posterior leaflet, consistent with partial mitral arcade.

Among repairs for ventriculoarterial discordance, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, aortic root translocation (Nikaidoh operation) offers the most anatomic result. With a diminutive pulmonary annulus or hypoplastic left ventricular outflow tract, the distance gained posteriorly with aortic translocation is negligible. We developed the "hemi-Nikaidoh" procedure as an alternative.
