Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in postoperative pain between single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SLA) and conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) for uncomplicated appendicitis in children.
Methods: In total, 30 patients underwent CLA, and 12 patients underwent SLA. Patients with perforated appendicitis or an abscess were excluded. We evaluated the length of hospital stay, the frequency of postoperative analgesic requirement, and the duration of postoperative pain.
Results: The mean length of hospital stay was 3.67 ± 0.75 days for the CLA group and 4.0 ± 0.70 days for the SLA group. The mean frequency of postoperative analgesic requirement was 1.93 ± 1.63 times for the CLA group and 2.00 ± 1.00 times for the SLA group. The mean duration of postoperative pain was 52.63 ± 20.82 hours for the CLA group and 55.91 ± 18.45 hours for the SLA group. These postoperative outcomes were similar between the two groups.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that SLA, which results in similar postoperative pain as CLA, is a feasible technique for uncomplicated appendicitis in children.

Department of Biological Science and Nursing, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, JPN.
Purpose: Postoperative thirst is common and distressing to patients, as is pain and nausea. The causes of postoperative thirst are complex and include factors like preoperative fasting, perioperative fluid loss, and certain anesthesia medications. Effective care for postoperative thirst has been shown in post-anesthesia care units (PACUs), but many Japanese hospitals lack PACUs or do not address thirst in their PACUs.

Introduction: Pain at the buccal mucosal graft (BMG) harvest site in the immediate postoperative period is common and delays resumption of oral intake. This study compares the time for resumption of pain-free solid and liquid diets and postoperative pain scores at harvest site following the administration of inferior-alveolar nerve-block plus buccal-nerve block (IANB + BNB) versus placebo. We hypothesize that the intervention could decrease pain and aid in early food intake.

Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a polyaxial locking plate utilizing locking-cap fixation for treatment of patients with displaced olecranon fractures.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all consecutive patients at two institutions with displaced olecranon fractures treated with a polyaxial locking plate. Patients were required to have at least 1-year follow up.
Objectives: More than 20% of patients experience chronic lateral ligamentous instability of the ankle (CLLIOTA) following the appropriate management of an ankle sprain. The modified Broström-Gould (MBG) procedure has become the standard treatment for the anatomic repair of symptomatic CLLIOTA.
Methods: This retrospective, single-group study included all patients with CLLIOTA who underwent surgery using the MBG technique in Shahid Kamyab Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, between July 2015 and August 2020.
