Mentor Corporation's ObTape has been associated with considerable morbidity. An unacceptably high exposure rate has been noted, and in some cases, multiple procedures may be necessary for complete mesh removal. We evaluated a patient who had prior ObTape placement complicated with persistent vaginal discharge and granulation tissue formation related to persistent mesh exposure (3Bc-T2-S2) followed by sinus tract formation (6Cd-T3-S3) according to the International Urogynecological Association Classification. We performed a three-incision approach (abdominal, vaginal, and groin) for the complete removal of the retained portion of the transobturator tape. This three-incision technique represents a viable option for removal of transobturator tape causing persistent clinical issues.

Single Versus 3-incision Triple Pelvic Osteotomy: Comparison of Clinical and Radiologic Results.
J Pediatr Orthop

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Hacettepe University.
Background: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is indicated when the anatomic and functional realignment of the hip joint is needed. Although the traditional approach for TPO involves a separate incision for ischial cut, there has been a trend for single-incision TPO in recent years. This study aims to compare the clinical and radiologic results of 2 different approaches.

Objective: We developed a novel method for thyroidectomy using a single-incision oral vestibular approach. To assess its advantages and disadvantages, we compared the perioperative parameters of this approach with those of transoral three-incision thyroidectomy and trans-areolar thyroidectomy.
Methods: In a study of 136 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients (2016-2018), precise thyroidectomy and neck dissection were conducted.
Postoperative narcotic utilization in single incision laparoscopic-assisted extracorporeal appendectomy (SILEA): a single-institution retrospective review.

Purpose: Laparoscopic appendectomy for pediatric acute appendicitis is commonly performed by pediatric surgeons. A single incision approach has been investigated, but the lack of technical uniformity has resulted in conflicting data. We hypothesized that an initial single incision laparoscopic-assisted extracorporeal appendectomy (SILEA) approach is associated with similar complication rates as compared to the standard three-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (TILA).

Purpose: The most popular surgical approach to manage Lisfranc fracture-dislocations is the double-incision approach, which frequently causes a variety of complications, such as skin necrosis, rotational malreduction of the first tarsometatarsal joint (TMTJ) and lateral column dorsoplantar malreduction of the TMTJ. We introduce a three-incision approach to treat Lisfranc fracture-dislocations with only minor postoperative complications and good foot function.
Methods: We prospectively selected 30 previously healthy patients, ranging from 18 to 60 years of age, but only 23 patients completed the follow-up and thus were finally included, with an average age of 38.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on developing a minimally invasive surgery technique for fixing specific arm fractures while analyzing the positions of important nerves near the surgery site.
- It involved using a 3.5 mm Locking Compression Plate (LCP) on 20 human upper extremities with careful nerve mapping and incision procedures.
- Results indicate that nerves are positioned safely with respect to the plate, suggesting the technique is effective for treating these types of fractures.
