A 9 year-old male sustained multiple maxillofacial fractures after falling from a two-store building. Frontal sinuses suffered a bilateral non-displaced linear fractures extending into the anterior and posterior walls. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at this time showed a small encephalocele extending into the right frontal sinus. Operative repair was performed using an Endoscopic-Assisted Trephination approach.

We describe retrospectively the indications and outcomes of nine patients who present with varying degrees of deep posterior stromal scarring or endothelial failure following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). These patients underwent a surgical strategy coined Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (iFAD). This strategy can be used to address suboptimal visual outcomes following primary DALK.

From the Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

Fingertip injuries are among the most common injuries seen in the emergency department. Specific considerations in management include ensuring robust soft-tissue coverage over exposed bone or tendon, maximizing functional length, preserving nail function and appearance, and minimizing chronic pain. Bony injuries are generally managed non-operatively, although select operative indications exist-particularly for jersey finger injuries, unstable fractures, or those with significant translation.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional methods for accessing the human cochlear nerve are limited due to its location within the skull's bony structure.
  • This study introduces a minimally invasive technique for directly reaching the cochlear nerve to apply new regenerative treatments.
  • Using advanced imaging and anatomical studies, researchers identified a safe pathway to the nerve and successfully validated it on multiple human temporal bones.
