In the last eight year period, a series of 102 hypospadias reconstruction performed in our institution were reviewed. 50% presented with marked degree of chordee. Four types of repair where used: MAGPI (n degree 18), Mathieu (n degree 41), Duckett (n degree 28), two stage repair (Duplay) (n degree 12), other procedures (n degree 3). Overall complication rate was 18% and was related to major procedure and difficult technical situations. It never compromised the final outcome of the procedure. The relatively high complication rate mentioned in the literature and in our series emphasizes that hypospadias surgery has to be done by well trained surgeons in this field.

Hook plate fixation and tension band wiring in the treatment of Mayo type II olecranon fractures.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University, No. 31 Xinjiekou East Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100035, China.
Background: Olecranon fractures account for 8 ∼ 10% of all elbow fractures and usually require surgical intervention. Tension band wiring (TBW) is considered as the standard treatment while it is associated with high re-operation rates.
Objective: This study aims to compare the functional outcomes, complications and re-operations of hook plate fixation (HPF) versus TBW in treating Mayo Type II olecranon fractures.

Background: Thoracic aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch are a great challenge for vascular surgeons. Maintaining the patency of supra-aortic branches while excluding the aortic lesion remains difficult. Thoracic EndoVascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) with fenestrations provides a feasible and effective approach for this type of disease.

Background: Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been crucial in impeding virus spread and preventing fatal complications. Despite growing evidence of vaccine efficacy, data on its impact on hospitalized patients remain limited. We aimed to estimate the risk of mortality, ICU admission, and hospitalization length among hospitalized COVID-19 patients based on vaccination status.

Infectious Diseases Department, Suining Central Hospital, Suining, Sichuan, China.
Background: The diagnosis and treatment of chronic abdominal pain related to the appendix have always been challenging. In the past, an appendectomy was the main approach for suspected chronic abdominal pain related to the appendix, but there was an associated risk of negative appendectomy. In recent years, cholangioscope-assisted endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) has been used to view the appendiceal cavity directly for flushing, stone removal, biopsy, and other operations, thereby achieving precise treatment.

Background: Although complex anatomical liver resections are more often being performed laparoscopically, the short-term outcomes following laparoscopic anatomical liver resection (LALR), its optimal indications, and limitations remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the indications for and limitations of LALR by assessing the short-term outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study included 233 patients who underwent LALR.
