Lipomas, although ubiquitous, are extremely uncommon in digital nerves. We present a 68-year-old male patient with right ring finger radial digital nerve intraneural lipoma. The tumor was enucleated preserving all the nerve fascicles. We present this case to highlight the rare occurrence of lipomas within a digital nerve.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the postoperative nerve function following coronal incisions for facial fractures.

Materials And Methods: The present study included 30 patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma treated using the bi-temporal/coronal or hemicoronal approach. A preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan of the face with 3D reconstruction was done for all the patients to determine the exact extent of the fractures.

This study measured the strain response to intraocular pressure (IOP) change in the sclera, choroid, and retina of glaucoma patients whose optic nerve head region was imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) prior to and after IOP-lowering by laser suturelysis following trabeculectomy surgery. The strain response was calculated from digital volume correlation of the prior and after images. The strain response of the sclera, choroid, and retina were compared to those previously published for the anterior lamina cribrosa (ALC).

Facial nerve injury can lead to significant functional impairment, emotional impacts, and difficulties in social and economic activities. Although peripheral nerves have the potential for recovery, incomplete regeneration can pose challenges. Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog (SMAD) proteins are crucial in the nerve-regeneration process.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a high incidence of perineural invasion (PNI), a pathological feature of the cancer invasion of nerves. PNI is associated with a poor prognosis, local recurrence and cancer pain. It has been suggested that interactions between nerves and the tumor microenvironment (TME) play a role in PDAC tumorigenesis.

From the Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT (Kammien and Yu), theDivision of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT (Zhao and Colen), and Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT (Grauer).

Background: Single-institution studies demonstrate reduced cost and similar outcomes for wide-awake fasciectomy compared with those with standard anesthesia. This retrospective cohort study examines these findings on a national level, comparing adverse events and cost for partial fasciectomies performed wide-awake and with standard anesthesia.

Methods: Partial fasciectomies were identified in the 2010-2022 PearlDiver database.
