Functional reconstruction of the jaw defect due to tumor resection poses a challenging problem in maxillofacial surgery. Large bone defects in the mandible due to ablation for tumors may generate a series of problems, as far as function and esthetics of the patient is concerned. The use of free bone flaps for mandibular reconstruction has the obvious advantage of being a well vascularized tissue that can withstand the hostile environment of the oral cavity. Fibular bone presents favorable conditions for implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation, due to its diameter and the good quality of its cortical bone. The outcome of current study supports the use of simultaneous placement of endosseous implants in free fibula flap for reconstruction of mandibular resection defects with better clinical, aesthetic, and functional outcomes.

Background: Navigation increases the precision and safety of pedicle screw placement and has been used to place interbody cages for lateral lumbar interbody fusion. Single-position surgery shortens its duration and that of anesthesia. The aim of this study was the feasibility of simultaneous cage and screw placement in a single prone position using intraoperative navigation without the need for additional fluoroscopy and a detailed technical description of this procedure.

Upper para-aortic lymph node dissection (PALND) is one of the most challenging gynecologic robotic procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the oncologic and operative outcomes of robotic staging surgery, including upper PALND, using low pelvic port placement (LP3) in 22 patients with high-risk endometrial cancer. High-risk was defined as patients who showed deep myometrial invasion with grade III, cervical involvement, or high-risk histology.

Understanding responses to multi-electrode epiretinal stimulation using a biophysical model.

Objective: Neural interfaces are designed to evoke specific patterns of electrical activity in populations of neurons by stimulating with many electrodes. However, currents passed simultaneously through multiple electrodes often combine nonlinearly to drive neural responses, making evoked responses difficult to predict and control. This response nonlinearity could arise from the interaction of many excitable sites in each cell, any of which can produce a spike.
