A Patient-Specific 3D Printed Lingual Nerve Protector in Third Molar Extraction.
J Craniofac Surg
November 2024
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Dankook University, Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do.
We present a novel, patient-specific 3D-printed lingual nerve protector designed to minimize the risk of nerve injury during mandibular third molar extraction, a common cause of lingual nerve damage. Lingual nerve injuries, often resulting from trauma, dental procedures, or maxillofacial surgeries, lead to significant functional impairments. Using computed tomography (CT) data, the custom protector is fabricated through 3D printing with a self-retaining structure to shield the lingual mucosa and nerve.

Study Design: Retrospective study.
Objective: To determine whether there are significant differences in postoperative dysphagia when using table-mounted versus self-retaining retractor tools.
Summary Of Background Data: Retraction of prevertebral structures during anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) is commonly associated with postoperative dysphagia or dysphonia.
Is There a Risk of Stroke During Anterior Cervical Discectomy? A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Turk Neurosurg
September 2024
Samsun Training and Research Hospital, Anesthesia Clinic, Samsun, Türkiye.
Aim: To examine the effects of different retractor techniques for anterior cervical discectomy on cerebral oxygen saturation.
Material And Methods: In this study, a prospective comparative design was employed to examine the effects of different retractor techniques on a cohort of 48 adult patients with ASA I-II classification who underwent anterior cervical discectomy under general anesthesia. The study was conducted under assessor-blinded conditions, and the patients were divided equally into two groups: the self-retaining retractor group and the hand-held retractor group.
TITAN CSR: a new self-retaining retractor for abdominal surgery.
Trauma Surg Acute Care Open
November 2023
Trauma and Emergency General Surgery, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Background: Self-retaining retractors provide hands-free exposure and allow surgeons to use their hands to perform surgery rather than manually retract tissues. Non-table-mounted retractors offer rapid assembly, but they have been traditionally limited in their ability to provide adequate exposure of the abdomen. Table-mounted retractors provide excellent exposure, but their cumbersome and time-intensive assembly often precludes their use in emergency settings.
