We report the results, scar appearance, and patient satisfaction of a direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty performed through an oblique inguinal incision. Patients were separated into direct anterior THA (n = 29) or an oblique inguinal incision anterior approach (n = 41). Clinical and radiographic data was compared, scar appearance was assessed by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and satisfaction was assessed by a simple questionnaire. Harris Hip Scores significantly improved in each group (1.8×10) and improved similarly between groups (p ≥ 0.35). The VSS score was lower in the inguinal incision versus the standard incision group (0.68 [range 0-3] vs. 1.56 [range 0-4], p = 0.015). Scar satisfaction was higher in the inguinal incision group with 87% compared to only 32% in the standard approach. The inguinal incision approach was safe, offered similar postoperative results, and resulted in improved patient scar satisfaction compared to the standard anterior approach by using an incision that more closely resembled normal anatomy.

BACKGROUND Terminal ileum (TI) anastomoses present challenges due to anatomical features and pressure from the ileocecal valve (ICV). The use of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used to treat chronic skin ulcers. Its use for temporary abdominal closure following anastomosis is controversial but has shown promise in patients with inflammatory or vascular disease.

Background: Although rare, melanoma confined to the dermis or subcutaneous tissue without evidence of a primary cutaneous site should provoke consideration of melanoma of unknown primary. This diagnosis carries a favorable prognosis when compared with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Several hypotheses have been proposed for how melanoma of unknown primary develops, two of which were considered in our patient case: (1) spontaneous regression of the primary tumor following metastasis or (2) the traumatic implantation of ectopic melanocytic cells in other tissues, such as the subcutaneous tissue.

Background: To analyze the safety and efficacy of microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy(MSV) performed with and without preservation of all testicular arteries and lymphatic system.
Methods: All of the 98 patients with varicocele who underwent MSV were included in the analysis. Fifty-eight male patients surgically underwent MSV with preservation of all testicular arteries and lymphatic system(Group 1).
