Obturator hernias are rare with an incidence of less than 1% of all hernias and are most common in frail, elderly females. They are difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to repair. They often present with a small bowel obstruction from the incarcerated bowel. We report a case of a recurrent obturator hernia after a laparoscopic repair using a patch of omentum. The recurrence was repaired laparoscopically with a trans-abdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP) with mesh. Given the rarity of the disease, there is scarce literature on the ideal method of repair, especially in patients with recurrence. However, with recent trends toward minimally invasive preperitoneal mesh hernia repairs for inguinal and ventral hernias, this type of repair should be strongly considered for patients with obturator hernias as well.

Oral cancer commonly affects various parts of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, gums, palate, and inner cheeks. Oral rehabilitation involves multiple approaches aimed at restoring and improving oral function, esthetics, and overall well-being. This study assessed the functional outcomes and quality of life in patients who underwent rehabilitation following an oral cancer diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Primary extracranial sinonasal meningiomas are extremely rare tumors in the head and neck area, with limited cases documented, particularly involving the palato-antral region.
- - A 45-year-old male experienced nasal issues like frequent bleeding and blockage for 8 months, leading to a diagnosis of a meningioma that affected his palate; he underwent successful surgery using both intraoral and endoscopic methods.
- - Post-surgery, the patient healed well and has shown no signs of recurrence for over two years; however, accurate diagnosis requires specific immunohistochemistry tests, and complete surgical removal is essential to prevent any recurrence or complications.
A Misplaced S2 Alar-Iliac Screw Causing L5 Spinal Nerve Injury: A Report of a Rare Case.

Although neurovascular structures, including the superior gluteal artery, sciatic nerve, obturator nerve, internal iliac vein and artery, and lumbosacral plexus, are at risk when S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) screws are used, no cases of nerve injuries have been reported. An 84-year-old man was referred to our institute with persistent left sciatica for seven months after undergoing salvage surgery using S2AI screws for deep surgical site infection from a previous posterior interbody fusion surgery at L5-S1. Based on the radiographic and diagnostic selective nerve root block findings, a diagnosis of left L5 radiculopathy was suspected due to the left S2AI screw being caudally misplaced and severely protruding into the pelvic cavity.

Background: Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) can decrease local recurrence to lateral compartments in middle-low rectal cancer, but pathological evidence for optimal surgical indications, especially after neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy (nCRT), is lacking. This study aimed to identify the predictive factors and oncological outcomes for different LLN locations associated with pathological metastasis.
Method: In this multicenter study, patients from 19 centers who underwent total mesorectal excision (TME) with LLND for locally advanced mid-/low rectal cancer from January 2012 to December 2021 were included.

Mid urethral sling (MUS) surgery is a widely accepted and safe procedure performed for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with excellent cure rate besides its minimal complications. There are various types of MUS which can be offered. In this review we collated published data on MUS surgery performed among Taiwanese women with SUI in search for the best techniques and its outcome.
