Background: Proper retraction of soft and hard tissues is essential to a successful surgery.
The Technique: The authors wish to report the use of a self-retaining photography cheek retractor during a Le Fort 1 surgery and an alveolar bone graft surgery which proved beneficial by achieving very good retraction.
Conclusion: This is an eye opener to modify the traditional photography retractor to maximise its benefits as a retractor in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery.

Background: The primary aim of this prospective, randomized, clinical, 2-armed trial was to evaluate the risk for recurrence using 2 different operative techniques for repair of abdominal rectus diastasis. Secondary aims were comparison of pain, abdominal muscle strength, and quality of life and to compare those outcomes to a control group receiving physical training only.
Methods: Eighty-six patients were enrolled.

Purpose: To design and investigate a novel technique of percutaneous posterior transdiscal oblique screw fixation with lateral interbody fusion.
Methods: CT scans of 45 patients were collected and imported into Mimics software for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction. Cylinders were drawn to simulate the trajectory of the oblique screw.

This study attempted to explore suitable anesthetic methods used for removal of tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) via self-retaining laryngoscopy and Hopkins telescopy in children. 92 cases had undergone FB removal via self-retaining laryngoscopy and Hopkins telescopy or rigid bronchoscopy in our hospital since 2006, of which 56 cases were under intravenous anesthesia and endotracheal intubation with muscle relaxation (IAEI with MR), and the other 36 cases were under intravenous anesthesia with spontaneous breathing (IASB). Operative parameters and intraoperative vital signs were analyzed.
