Tracheosephageal puncture is the one of the most favorable methods, and widely used by physicians for voice reconstruction after total laryngectomy. Intractable leakages from the tracheosephageal punctures are the most common complication, and management of these fistulas is still troublesome for the patients and physicians. Local surgical sutures, rotational flaps, injections are reported previously, but in this report the authors aimed to mention on a very simple method with silicone septal button. Insertion of a temporary silicone septal button may be well tolerated by patients and can help to manage this complication easily on exact indications. The authors discussed indications and long-term results of this method with different patients.

Measurement of Tip Load With a Pacemaker Lead Stylet and Guiding Catheter Using a Silicone Heart Model.

Cardiology, Akita Cerebrospinal and Cardiovascular Center, Akita, JPN.
Background Ventricular septal pacing has long been performed using a stylet during pacemaker implantation, but with the availability of guiding catheters, His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing have also been performed. However, it is not known to what extent the tip load of the ventricular lead differs when a guiding catheter is used compared with a stylet alone. In this study, the tip load was measured for different stylet stiffness and guiding catheter geometries at sites where His bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing were assumed.

Background: Nose picking is a common habit that rarely leads to mutilating self-injury. It is important to distinguish between rhinotillexomania (compulsive nose picking) as a disease and nose picking that results in or contributes to nasal septal perforation (NSP). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of rhinotillexomania and NSP repair on sinonasal symptoms and quality of life (QoL).

Article Synopsis
- Researchers introduce a new method for closing nasal septal perforations that involves prolonged isolation of the surgical site using silicone sheets.
- Traditional techniques focus on direct mucosal closure with flaps or grafts, but the new approach uses a temporalis fascia graft with the septum protected for 6 weeks, allowing for natural healing.
- In a study of 10 patients, there was a 90% success rate in closing defects with no serious complications, highlighting the method's simplicity and effectiveness.

Rhinoplasty aims to create a nose in harmony with an ideal face, help patients with specific aesthetic concerns, and improve the nose's function. So, learning all types of deformities and rhinoplasty procedures is essential to solving that particular problem. So, we aimed to point at a neglected nasal deformity to serve as a guide in short nose rhinoplasty.
