Objective: Evaluation of haptic-induced postoperative complications with single-piece intraocular lenses (IOLs) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Design: A retrospective case series.
Participants: We looked at 5 pseudophakic eyes with noninfectious postoperative complications, after undergoing phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intracapsular IOL placement.
Methods: A review of clinical findings as well as UBM measurements looking at the distance of the IOL from the posterior surface of the pupil on each side of the lens.
Results: In all cases, UBM revealed malposition of the IOL, confirming IOL tilting and haptic displacement outside of the capsular bag.
Conclusions: UBM is a useful tool for early diagnosis of uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome because it enables visualization of the exact position of the IOL in vivo. In such cases, localization of the lens and haptics are essential in devising treatment strategies, such as repositioning of the haptics, haptic amputation, or removal of the IOL.

Mitrofanoff complications: time-to-event analysis of split versus intact appendix and meta-analysis.
World J Urol

Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Objectives: To assess the complication rates associated with split versus intact appendix Mitrofanoff procedures using a single-center retrospective analysis and a systematic review with meta-analysis.
Subjects And Methods: The study comprised a retrospective cohort analysis at a single institution, analyzing patients who underwent a laparoscopic-assisted Mitrofanoff with or without splitting the appendix from 2005 to 2016. The focus was on complications related to both Mitrofanoff and ACE channels.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is a surgical procedure with varying degrees of difficulty depending on tumor status and surgical technique. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between surgical difficulty levels and outcomes of LLR, particularly portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: We performed LLRs in 214 patients between January 2009 and December 2022.
Does a gentamicin-coated intramedullary nail prevent postoperative infection in Gustilo type I and II tibial open fractures? A comparative study and retrospective analysis.

Dr C Lal Hospital, Ambala Cantt, Haryana, 133001, India.
Purpose: Tibial open shaft fractures are very common and susceptible to infection, which can lead to significant morbidity especially infection and non-union. Antibiotic coated nail is one option for fixing open shaft tibial fractures to minimise infection. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcome of Gentamicin-coated tibial nails versus regular unreamed interlocking tibial nails in the treatment of type I and II tibial open fractures.

Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic approach to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction in conditions such as ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The quality and viability of donor mitochondria are critical to MTx success, necessitating the optimization of isolation protocols. This study aimed to assess a rapid mitochondrial isolation method, examine the relationship between mitochondrial size and membrane potential, and evaluate the potential benefits of Poloxamer 188 (P-188) in improving mitochondrial quality during the isolation process.

Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been used in reconstructive microsurgery since the inception of the field. However, when compared to placebo groups, its efficacy is not confirmed. In our study, we hypothesize that the utility of ASA postoperatively in microvascular surgery is not associated with improved outcomes.
