Different techniques for artificial iris implantation with or without an intraocular lens, depending on lens status, are described in the literature. We describe a surgical technique for a custom-made artificial iris and toric-intraocular lens intrascleral flange fixation. We modified the "Backpack" artificial iris implantation surgical technique to facilitate an accurate alignment of the toric-intraocular lens in a patient with aphakia, aniridia, and high asymmetric astigmatism secondary to blunt trauma.

We aimed to evaluate the impact of fellowship training (FT) for thyroid specialists on the outcomes of patients with thyroid cancer. We reviewed surgeries performed for thyroid cancer before (non-FT group) and after (FT group) fellowship training and compared several variables, including length of stay of patients, tumor diameter, surgical method, lymph node dissection, parathyroid implantation, surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative complications. Compared with the non-FT group, the FT group had a shorter hospital stay, more adequate fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid, less intraoperative blood loss, higher rate of parathyroid implantation, higher lymph node dissection rate, and lower nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism rates.

Objective: Pediatric data regarding treatment via an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) remains sparse. The authors aimed to describe their experience at their institution and to delineate associated demographic data, audiometric outcomes, and surgical parameters.
Methods: An IRB-approved, retrospective chart review was conducted among the authors' pediatric patients who had undergone auditory brainstem implantation between 2012 and 2021.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a new "scarless" technique for implanting Totally Implantable Venous Access Ports (TIVAP) in breast cancer patients, aimed at preserving cosmetic results after surgery.
- A total of 125 patients underwent the procedure with a 100% success rate, a mean operation time of 46 minutes, and low blood loss, while also showing a significant decrease in operation time after the initial learning phase.
- Patient feedback indicated over 90% satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes and the overall surgical experience, suggesting that the scarless technique is a safe and effective alternative for those needing chemotherapy with minimal scarring.
