Introduction: It is not uncommon to encounter colorectal polyps which could not be removed easily by simple polypectomy. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been a well-established method for doing so. We compared the result between ESD and surgical removal of these difficult colorectal polyps.
Materials And Method: During the period between January 2013 and December 2016, patients who have failed endoscopic removal of colorectal polyp requiring second treatment, either by ESD or surgical removal, were matched into two groups and reviewed. Outcomes between two groups of patients, including complication rate, reintervention rate, length of stay, and readmission rate were studied.
Result: A statistically significant difference in mean length of stay was observed. The length of stay was 4.2 days for ESD group and 8.7 days for surgery group (P < .001). There was significantly less than 30-day readmission in ESD group as well (0% versus 7.6%, P = .001). A higher complication rate was observed in surgery group (0% versus 18.4%, P < .001).
Conclusion: ESD is a good method to remove colorectal polyps that are not suitable for endoscopic mucosal resection. When compared with traditional surgery, ESD had the benefit of shortening hospital stay and less postprocedure complication.

Objective: The production of 3-dimensional models and materials according to preoperative virtual surgical planning is a time-consuming process and causes high costs. We aimed to demonstrate the navigation mediated reconstruction of the patients who underwent the removal of a tumoral mass in midfacial region according to their preoperatively prepared surgical plannings.
Study Design: Patients who underwent the removal of tumoral mass and reconstruction in their midfacial region were included in the study.

Although silicone oil is used as an intraocular buffer in vitreoretinal surgical procedures, its use can cause complications, including glaucoma. This study highlights the importance of individualized approaches for the management of silicone oil-induced glaucoma. A 62-year-old man with a past medical history of retinal detachment and multiple ocular surgical procedurespresented with uncontrolled ocular pressure peaks after retinal detachment surgery using silicone oil as a buffer, which did not resolve after removal of the buffer.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.

We describe a novel technique for recurrent pterygium and assess the advantage of properties of extended tenonectomy, amniotic membrane transplantation, and limbal epithelial transplantation in terms of recurrence rate, postoperative symptoms, postoperative orthoptics, and other complications. A total of nine eyes with recurrent pterygium underwent PERMISLET, i.e.

Objectives: Virtual surgical planning (VSP) allows for optimal reconstruction of maxillary defects with fibula free flaps. Current data are limited regarding long-term complications of patient-specific plates (PSPs) in this setting. Our objective was to determine long-term complications of PSPs in maxillary reconstruction using fibula free flaps.
