Authors comment on the paper "Aesthetic, Quality of Life, and Clinical Outcomes after Inferior Pedicle Oncoplastic Reduction Mammoplasty" written by Thomas Y Xia et al. Although the authors present excellent results on Inferior Pedicle Oncoplastic Reduction Mammoplasty, we express some considerations about the proposed follow-up and hope in new research on this topic by Xia et al using his interesting data.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Retrospective comparison of cortical bone trajectory and pedicle screw in lumbar fusion for patients over 80, including sagittal balance: a single-center study.
BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50, Yonsei-Ro, Seodaemun-Gu, Seoul, 03722, Republic of Korea.
Background: Comparative studies of posterior lumbar interbody fusion with cortical bone trajectory and pedicle screw in older patients, particularly in those aged ≥ 80 years, are rare. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the clinical and surgical outcomes following posterior lumbar interbody fusion with pedicle screw fixation compared to cortical bone trajectory in patients aged ≥ 80 years with degenerative lumbar spine disease.
Methods: We included 68 patients aged ≥ 80 years who underwent degenerative lumbar spinal surgery at our spine center between January 2011 and December 2020.
Reshaping Our Understanding of Sensation and Pain Following Breast Reduction Surgery.

Background: This study evaluated the sensory and breast pain outcomes in inferior versus superomedial pedicle breast reduction.
Methods: Twenty patients undergoing the inferior pedicle technique were matched to 20 patients undergoing the superomedial pedicle technique based on age, BMI, and resection weight. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Evaluation of Pedicle Screw Position on Computerized Tomography Using Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Software.

: Recent advances in intraoperative navigation systems have improved the accuracy of pedicle screw placement in spine surgery. However, many hospitals have limited access to these advanced technologies due to resource constraints. In such settings, postoperative computed tomography (CT) evaluation remains crucial for assessing screw placement and related potential complications.

Open abdomen treatment (OAT) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In cases where primary or delayed fascial closure cannot be achieved, vacuum-assisted wound closure and mesh-mediated fascial traction are indicated, which often result in a planned ventral hernia. If secondary skin closure is not feasible, common treatment of granulated abdominal defects involves split-thickness skin-grafting or healing by secondary intention leading to significant scarring and sometimes mutilating defects.

Background: The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is currently the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction. In cases where the DIEP is contraindicated, the profunda artery perforator (PAP) flap is now the preferred second-line option in our institution. The PAP flap poses unique challenges to the reconstructive surgeon, especially in Asian women with low body mass index (BMI).
