Introduction: Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) urethroplasty is the standard treatment for traumatic urethral strictures, but managing them remains challenging for urologists. Identifying factors leading to EPA urethroplasty failure benefits both patients and surgeons. This study aims to analyze risk factors for urethral stricture recurrence after one-year follow-up of EPA urethroplasty.

The study included 12 patients with a closed transverse femoral fracture (AO 32a3) treated with dynamization (all the screws distal of the nail were removed) because of delayed healing and followed up for at least 2 years. These patients were evaluated for the presence of bone union, cortex-like sclerosis (corticalization) distal to the nail, and the distance of the corticalization from the joint during follow- up after dynamization.

A retrospective study of all orthopaedic cases with a hip fracture from 2020 to 2022 at CHC Montlegia has been undertaken, the group is compared to patients with the same impairment from 2018-2020 admitted to Saint Joseph/Esperance CHC hospitals (before the merge and the existence of a DOTR). The delay between the arrival at the emergency department and transfer to the operating room, as well as the mortality are evaluated.

The management of complex burn injuries has evolved significantly, with various surgical techniques developed to improve outcomes. This review examines the evolution of these methods, focusing particularly on mesh grafting and the Meek technique. While mesh grafting is effective, it poses challenges such as limited graft coverage and a high demand for autologous skin.

Background: There has been a delayed, yet steady uptake of robotic-assisted surgery over the past decade within the field of plastic surgery. In an era of rapidly evolving scientific and technological development, there is a need for an update on the current literature for robotic-assisted plastic surgery procedures.
Methods: Searches were conducted across major databases, including MEDLINE, Embase, and Central for published literature from March 2023 to December 2024.
