Background: Various regional anesthesia techniques have been studied for blunt chest wall trauma over the past decades, but their impact on patient outcomes remains unclear. This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis aimed to identify the most effective regional anesthesia techniques for different outcomes in blunt thoracic trauma patients.
Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials comparing regional anesthesia techniques (thoracic epidural, erector spinae plane block, serratus anterior plane block, intercostal block, paravertebral block, intrapleural block, retrolaminar block) and standard intravenous analgesia.

Background: There is a relative paucity of studies examining how the superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) may alter the kinematics of the glenohumeral joint capsule itself, specifically with respect to rotation and translation in the anterior-posterior and superior-inferior planes. This then raises the possibility that the SCR may be having unintended consequences on glenohumeral kinematics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the glenohumeral joint kinematics following Fascia Lata SCR (FL-SCR).

Ludwig's angina (LA) is a rapidly progressive cellulitis-causing airway obstruction that can spread through fascial planes to the floor of the mouth and into the mediastinum. Early recognition and treatment are essential for preventing potentially fatal complications. Diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion and confirmed through CT and ultrasound (US).

In this article, our technique for deep inferior epigastric pedicle dissection utilizing a midline fascial incision is described. Approaching these vessels via a midline facial incision provides facile access to the retrorectus space bilaterally, utilizes a dissection plane that facilitates preservation of nerve and muscle fibers, and allows for both efficient and ergonomic pedicle dissection. This method is safe and easily reproducible and may reduce abdominal donor site morbidity in deep inferior epigastric perforator flap breast reconstruction.

Background: Application of helium-based plasma radiofrequency (RF; Renuvion, Apyx Medical, Clearwater, FL) in the subcutaneous plane results in tissue coagulation and contraction. Although, traditionally, the impact of thermal devices on skin laxity is assessed by measuring changes in skin surface area, this indirect measure does not permit intraoperative assessment or differentiation of effects from various treatments.
Objectives: To determine the amount of soft tissue contraction achieved by multiple passes of helium plasma RF energy to the subcutaneous connective tissues following power-assisted liposuction (PAL).
