Objective: To describe the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of intrahepatic biliary cystic tumor (IBCT) and compare the difference betwwen male and female patients.

Methods: 11 male and 45 female patients with histological confirmed IBCT from January 2003 to April 2014 were envolved. clinical characteristics, laboratory examination, radiological features, treatment method and prognosis were analyzed.

Results: The mean age of male patients with IBCT was significantly older than that of female patients (54.9±10.1 years vs 46.2±12.9 years, P=0.041). There were no significant differences in radiological features between male and female patients except for mural nodules (10/11 vs 15/45, P=0.001). Intrahepatic biliary cystadenocarcinoma (IBC) was more common in male patients than female patients (8/11 vs 16/45, P=0.041). Male patients had worse prognosis than female patients (P=0.014). 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival of male patients was 90.9%,45.5%,30.3%, respectively. However, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival of female patients was 94.8%,82.7%,78.6%.

Conclusions: Male patients had low incidence of IBCT, and were more common for IBC. Even with complete resection, the long-term survival was still poor, close follow-up were recommended especially for male patients.

Objective: The surgical team in this study examined the efficacy of a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair in treating soft tissue defects of the ankle and foot caused by accidents.

Methods: This study enrolled 89 patients treated for soft tissue defects of the ankle or foot between January 2007 and December 2023. The patients were divided into two groups: 44 patients underwent a modified reverse sural neurocutaneous flap repair, while 45 received traditional treatment.

Histone mutations (H3 K27M, H3 G34R/V) are molecular features defining subtypes of paediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas (HGG) (diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3 K27-altered, diffuse hemispheric glioma (DHG), H3 G34-mutant). The WHO classification recognises in exceptional cases, these mutations co-occur. We report one such case of a 2-year-old female presenting with neurological symptoms; MRI imaging identified a brainstem lesion which was biopsied.

Background: There are no studies that compare the outcomes and complications of single-versus two-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) after primary ACLR failure. This purpose of this study is to examine clinical and functional outcomes and complications associated with single and two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure.

Methods: All patients who underwent single or two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure between 2012 and 2021 with a minimum of a 2 year follow-up were included.

Background: In low and middle-income countries like Ghana, out-of-pocket (OOP) payments remain a significant barrier to healthcare access, often leading to catastrophic health expenditures (CHE). This study evaluates the incidence of CHE among patients treated for long bone fractures at Ghana's major teaching hospitals, providing insight into the economic burdens faced by these patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 2,980 patients with long bone fractures treated at four major teaching hospitals in Ghana from July 2017 to July 2020.

Background: Patients with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD) are prone to progressive aortic dilation. However, there are relatively few reports of progressive development of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection in adult patients who missed early corrective surgery.

Presentation Of Cases: Case 1: A 38-year-old man with PA/VSD and a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), underwent VSD repair, aortic valve replacement, and PA correction at age 21.
