Objectives: To develop a reproducible experimental animal model for sulcus vergeture in rabbits.
Study Design: Experimental animal study.
Material Method: We evaluated three methods of inducing sulcus in twelve New Zealand white rabbits to produce a sulcus model. Experimental groups comprised: group 1 (n = 4) underwent submucosal injury following endolaryngeal epithelial incision; group 2 (n = 4) received submucosal injury via thyrotomy; group 3 (n = 4) received submucosal injury via thyrotomy, followed with horizontal mucosal lateralization suture. Right vocal folds of the rabbits underwent surgery to produce sulcus vocalis and left vocal folds were used for the comparison. In the sixth week after the procedure, the rabbits were sacrificed and the larynxes were harvested and analyzed histopathologically.
Results: No animals in group 1 or 2 developed sulcus vocalis. Sulcus formation was observed in all rabbits in group 3, under endoscopic examination and microscopic sulcus formation was demonstrated for the first, second, and third rabbits. An epithelial depression area was seen at the glandular ductal opening zone for the fourth rabbit, but it could also be accepted as a sulcus formation.
Conclusion: We successfully developed a reproducible survival model for sulcus using a submucosal injury via thyrotomy, followed with a horizontal mucosal lateralization suture. This model provides the groundwork for future research into the applicability of new approaches for sulcus management.

In the part I, we have already reported the rationale, efficacy, complication, and limitation of using transcervical resection of myoma (TCRM) in the management of women with symptomatic uterine fibroids, particularly for those belonging to the International Federation of Gynaecology & Obstetrics (FIGO) myoma classification system as FIGO types 0-2. The current review as part II, the discussion will focus on the techniques, tips and complication prevention or management when TCRM is applied in the management of women with symptomatic submucosal myoma. With better understanding for TCRM-related basic knowledge, such as rationale, efficacy, complication, technique review, tips and prevention or management of complications, plus the well-training and carefully performing TCRM through preceding accurate diagnosis, and good and careful preparation and intensive monitoring during operation and using effective strategy to preventing short-term and long-term complications, TCRM can become one of most powerful strategies in offering the less traumatic injury to the uterus, and an effective and safe surgical approach in dealing with women with symptomatic submucosal myoma.

Uterine fibroids occur frequently in women during the reproductive age, and they are rarely associated with clinical meaning because of their benign characteristics and asymptomatic clinical presentation. Sometimes, uterine fibroids are symptomatic and associated with compression syndrome, infertility, chronic pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. All need further intervention and treatment.

Fever is a complication after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The objective of this study was to explore the incidence and risk factors of fever after colorectal ESD and establish a predictive nomogram model. This retrospective analysis encompassed patients with colorectal lesions who underwent ESD between June 2008 and December 2021 in our center.

Background: Nasal packing (NP), trans-septal suturing (TSS), and submucosal trans-septal suturing (STSS) are common techniques to avoid dead space after the deviated septum is corrected. However, there is rare data about surgical complications and discomfort of these techniques after septal extension grafts (SEG) with autogenous costicartilage.
Objective: To compare the complications and discomfort of NP, TSS, and STSS techniques after SEG with autogenous costicartilage.
