Absorbable suture clips used during partial nephrectomy may be recognized as small hyperdensities near the excision site at 5 months after implantation. They may be completely resorbed and no longer visible at 11 months after implantation.

Background: The periosteum consists of an outer fibrous layer and an inner cellular layer, where bone cells reside. Hence, it has been suggested that applying periosteum to a periodontal defect may help new bone formation. The purpose of this case study is to present the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a vestibular regenerative approach and the application of a connective tissue graft (CTG) with periosteum to improve the periodontal prognosis of a pathologically migrated hopeless tooth with an endo-periodontal lesion (EPL).

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a widely performed procedure, with securing the cystic duct being a critical step to prevent bile leakage. Traditional metal clips are commonly used, but alternative methods, such as non-absorbable polymer clips, absorbable clips, sutures, and ultrasonic shears, are also utilized. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the safety and efficacy of various cystic duct securing techniques.

Purpose: To describe a surgical method for correcting lower lid entropion, lateral canthal entropion, and macroblepharon.

Methods: Lid margins were incised at a 45° angle, and lateral lid margins and a rhomboid shaped piece of skin were resected based on the degree of macroblepharon. Subcutaneous tissue was sutured with absorbable sutures and anchored to the orbital ligament with a non-absorbable suture to maintain lateral canthal position.

Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is nowadays the standard to treat benign and malignant disease occurring in the uterus, but the number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the handling of sutures in a bi- and tri-dimensional plane, a new type of suture material has been developed, named barbed sutures, which are in use in different indications. In comparison to conventional suture materials, the barbs anchor the suture in the tissue, provide tissue approximation and prevent slippage without the need for knot tying.
