Congenital ear surgery constitutes one of the most challenging reconstructive procedures in plastic surgery secondary to the complex architecture of the auricle and the multiple factors involved in the reconstructive techniques. The most common complications encountered during microtia repair and otoplasty are described. Emphasis is placed on preventing these complications.

Colorectal Division, Department of Surgical Oncology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India.
Background: The introduction of total mesorectal excision improved locoregional control for rectal adenocarcinoma significantly. Standardisation of the technique of LPLND is lacking in literature.
Methods: We describe the current practices of case selection and technical details of lateral lymph node dissection in rectal cancer.

Giant rhinoliths are uncommon, mineralized concretions that usually develop around an intranasal foreign substance in the nasal canal. These lesions frequently cause respiratory problems, foul-smelling discharge, and nasal blockage. Clinical examination, endoscopy, and radiological imaging are used to make the diagnosis, and surgical removal is the only effective therapy.

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is the third most common cause of acute cardiovascular disease, which can lead to high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Anatomical and electrophysiological variations and obesity may complicate timely diagnosis and delay required management. While computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) remains the most accurate diagnostic tool, initial assessments using electrocardiography (ECG) or echocardiography can be helpful in early suspicion.

Exit-site infections (ESIs) of peritoneal dialysis catheters can cause serious complications if not promptly treated. Uncommon pathogens like are infrequently associated with these infections. We report a 26-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease due to Alport syndrome, presenting with recurrent purulent discharge and erythema at the Tenckhoff catheter exit site.

January 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, India.
Aim: Consensus is lacking regarding the management of extramesorectal lymph nodes (EMLN) in rectal cancer. Using simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT), we targeted involved EMLN and reserved lateral pelvic lymph nodal dissection (LPLND) for nonresponders. The primary aim of this work was to determine the proportion of patients who avoided LPLND and to establish the pathological EMLN positivity rate.
