Objective: In this study, we report the results of patients who underwent ulnar nerve submuscular anterior transposition surgery due to cubital tunnel syndrome.
Methods: Data of 46 patients who underwent anterior submuscular transposition surgery due to cubital tunnel syndrome between January 2010 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-seven patients with preoperative and postoperative complete medical records available and who had completed at least 24 months follow-up were included in the study.
Results: According to preoperative McGovan staging system, 1 patient was classified as stage 1, 8 were stage 2A, 3 were stage 2B, and 15 were stage 3. The mean follow-up time was 61.4 (35-88) months. The mean DASH score of the patients was calculated as 19 (0-81.81). Mayo elbow performance score was excellent in 13 patients, good in 7, fair in 6, and poor in 1.
Conclusion: Anterior submuscular transposition of ulnar nerve had resolved symptoms 89% of our patients. The technique is a successful method with a low recurrence and complication rate.

Importance of visualizing the anatomical location of the latissimus dorsi muscle using computed tomography for a robust reimplantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

Department of Cardiology, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Unlabelled: The intermuscular technique for subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) implantations is a technique for implanting the device between the anterior serratus muscle and latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. A 70-year-old hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient underwent a surgical repositioning of an S-ICD due to a moved device with skin thinning from mechanical stress. The patient had an S-ICD implantation 4 years prior to the reimplantation and the intermuscular technique was not expected to be achieved.

Article Synopsis
- A novel surgical technique for treating cubital tunnel syndrome uses the epitrochleo-olecranon ligament to create a neocubital tunnel, potentially offering better stabilization for the ulnar nerve compared to traditional methods.
- A study involving nine patients showed that all experienced subjective and functional improvements post-surgery, with no reported complications.
- Most patients improved significantly on the McGowan scale after surgery, with 78% achieving full recovery, and overall outcomes were rated as excellent or good for the majority.
Advancements in ectopic reservoir placement for inflatable penile prostheses.
Sex Med Rev

Scott Department of Urology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, United States.
Introduction: Traditional reservoir placement (RP) into the space of Retzius during three-piece inflatable penile prosthesis implantation has been associated with serious bladder, iliac vessel, and bowel complications, encouraging the development of "ectopic" RP methods.
Objectives: In this study we sought to document an up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of ectopic RP techniques regarding both patient satisfaction and clinical complications.
Methods: A PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library literature search of English language articles from 1966 to 2023 with keywords "inflatable," "penile prosthesis," "reservoir," and "placement" gave 179 publications, 70 of which were included in a comprehensive chronology and investigation after review.
New Applications of the Anterior Intercostal Artery Perforator Flap for Prosthetic Breast Reconstruction in the Setting of Postoperative Radiotherapy.
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
July 2024
From the Department of Surgery, Plastic Surgery Unit, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy.
Background: Several studies have reported preliminary experiences with the anterior intercostal artery perforator (AICAP) flap for treating partial breast defects or breast implant exposure following reconstruction. As radiotherapy is commonly administered for breast cancer, some patients may present with heavily damaged skin flaps and chronic radiodermatitis. We describe new applications of a de-epithelialized AICAP flap, used in combination with an implant, for breast reconstruction when other treatment options are unavailable.

Background: Ultrasound-guided regional field blocks are not widely used in outpatient plastic surgeries. The efficacy of truncal blocks (PEC1 + SAP) has not been established in plastic surgery. The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of these newer anesthetic techniques compared with traditional blind local anesthetic infiltration in patients undergoing breast augmentation.
