Importance: Timely access to care is a key metric for health care systems and is particularly important in conditions that acutely worsen with delays in care, including surgical emergencies. However, the association between travel time to emergency care and risk for complex presentation is poorly understood.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of travel time on disease complexity at presentation among people with emergency general surgery conditions and to evaluate whether travel time was associated with clinical outcomes and measures of increased health resource utilization.

Objectives: This experimental study compared the accuracy of implant insertion using the free-hand (FH) technique, static computer-aided surgery (S-CAIS), or dynamic computer-assisted surgery (D-CAIS) and to evaluate the correlation of learning curves between surgeons' experience and surgical time.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six models were randomly assigned to three groups (FH, n = 12; S-CAIS, n = 12; D-CAIS, n = 12). Each model was planned to receive four implants in the maxillary anterior and posterior regions.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females. Surgery is the gold standard therapy, with modified radical mastectomy (MRM) being the most commonly performed procedure for breast cancer. Management of postoperative pain after MRM poses a clinical challenge and hence receives utmost priority.

Introduction Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is a degenerative condition characterized by subluxation of one vertebral body anterior to the adjacent inferior vertebral body with an intact pars. Conservative treatment approaches, such as steroid injections and physical therapy, may work well at first, but in resistant situations, surgery is frequently necessary. Posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) has been widely used, but transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) offers theoretical advantages such as improved alignment and enhanced fusion rates.

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory spondyloarthropathy affecting the spine, progressively leads to increased spinal stiffness. This condition increases the risk of spine fractures in patients, even from trivial injuries. The process of slow bone formation within the ligaments of the spine and the fusion of the spinal diarthrosis contribute to the most prominent symptom of progressive stiffness of joints, predominantly affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints.
