Background: Marginal ulcers (MUs) are potential complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Our institution performs 3 different laparoscopic gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) techniques. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of MUs between 25-mm circular stapler (CS), linear stapler (LS), and hand-sewn (HS) GJA techniques using data collected over a 10-year period.

Aims: The aim of this study was to perform an incremental cost-utility analysis and assess the impact of differential costs and case volume on the cost-effectiveness of robotic arm-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (rUKA) compared to manual (mUKA).
Methods: Ten-year follow-up of patients who were randomized to rUKA (n = 64) or mUKA (n = 65) was performed. Patients completed the EuroQol five-dimension health questionnaire preoperatively, at three months, and one, two, five, and ten years postoperatively, which was used to calculate quality-adjusted life years (QALY) gained and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER).

Aims: The Exeter femoral stem has a cemented, polished taper-slip design, and an excellent track record. The current range includes short-length options for various offsets, but less is known about the performance of these stems. The aim of this study was to compare the survival of short-length stems with standard-length Exeter stems.

Background: Profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap following cancer surgery has emerged as a relevant alternative for breast reconstruction but is mainly used in cases where the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap cannot be performed. The aim of this study was to compare the PAP and DIEP flaps' surgical and aesthetics outcomes in breast reconstruction.
Methods: Women who underwent breast reconstruction by DIEP or PAP flap at the Plastic Surgery Department of Georges Pompidou European University Hospital, Paris, France, between January 2012 and December 2020 were included.
