Static facial sling procedures are one of many facial reanimation options to address long-standing and irreversible facial paralysis. The primary goals of static reanimation are to provide symmetry at rest and improve static function at repose. Choosing the best option depends on patient factors, such as age, comorbidities, and injury factors. Different materials are available for static sling surgery; we believe autologous tendon offers the most reliable and long-lasting results. Static suspension procedures provide immediate results, improved resting position, and can augment other techniques. This article discusses available options for static reanimations to address the eye complex, midface, and mouth.

Editorial Commentary: Anatomic Tibiofibular and Partially Anatomic-Based Fibular Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Techniques Are Biomechanically Superior to Nonanatomic Reconstruction Techniques: A Tibial Tunnel Is the Gold Standard for an Anatomic Reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
- The posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee was historically difficult to understand and treat, leading to high failure rates with non-anatomic reconstruction methods known as "fibular slings".
- Newer anatomic reconstruction techniques aim to restore all three main PLC stabilizers, with two primary approaches: tibiofibular-based (LaPrade and Engebretsen) and fibular-based (Levy/Marx, Arciero).
- The tibiofibular approach is considered superior as it better mimics the knee's natural structure and function, while certain conditions warrant the use of tibial tunnels instead of fibular-based reconstructions.

Reconstruction of through-and-through defects of cheek and commissure resulting from cancer resection are challenging. The specialized function of oral competence that the oral commissure and lip play is difficult to replicate with flap only reconstruction. Static slings play an important role in improving the functional and aesthetic outcome.

Background: This study analyzed the demographic characteristics of patients with facial palsy who were treated using either dynamic or static procedures. This study aimed to compare the frequency of procedure implementation and age distribution between the two groups.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients treated for facial palsy at a single institution from 2014 to 2022.
["Do uro-gynecology multidisciplinary team meeting modify therapeutic management?"].

Introduction: Since the banning of trans-vaginal meshes for pelvic organ prolapse treatment by the FDA in 2019, French authorities have been gradually regulating the use of prosthetic materials in urogynecology. The decision to fit a mid-urethral sling or a reinforcement implant for the cure of prolapse, as well as the management of complex genital prolapse and serious post-implant complications, must be the subject of multidisciplinary consultation and a shared medical decision. To comply with these regulations, multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) have been set up.
