We describe a new method of selective regional perfusion during arch reconstruction in the Norwood procedure. The strategy involves direct sequential perfusion of the coronary and splanchnic circulations coupled with continuous cerebral perfusion, while repairing the arch in a distal to proximal fashion. This technique provides the potential for decreased coronary and splanchnic ischemic times, which in combination with continuous selective cerebral perfusion may further allow for warmer operating temperatures and decreased overall bypass times.

The ultimate dental implant challenge is reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla, especially in patients with long-term edentulism or multiple previous failed attempts at dental implant placement and full-arch implant rehabilitation. Before implant dentistry, complete dentures, which are limited by poor retention and lack of support that the alveolar ridge offers in atrophic maxillae, were the only option for these patients. Pterygoid implants are now a valid and valuable resource for the rehabilitation of the posterior atrophic maxilla.

The liver segmentation method proposed by Couinaud is widely accepted by surgeons because of its convenience and practicality. However, this conventional eight-segment classification does not reflect realistic details of the liver and thus requires further adjustments to promote improvements in surgical strategies. This study aimed to explore the ramification patterns of the hepatic vasculature comprehensively.

Introduction: Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with preoperative anemia are at higher risk for transfusion. Blood-conserving interventions can reduce perioperative transfusions. This retrospective study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a patient blood management (PBM) protocol in elective primary THA patients with preoperative anemia.

Flail foot is a condition characterized by a significant weakness in ankle dorsiflexion, resulting in limited or no active mobility in the ankle. To address this issue, we described a novel approach called tenodesis, which has been developed for ankle joint stabilization. This technique utilizes the patient's tendons to minimize potential complications.
