Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate whether surgery with a 10 mm approach for volar locking plate fixation provides equivalent early post-operative outcomes to conventional incision surgery for distal radius fractures.
Materials And Methods: The subjects were divided into a conventional incision group (mean age: 59.1 years, 8 males and 23 females) and a 10 mm approach group (mean age: 59.9 years of age, 6 males and 20 females). The wrist range of motion; grip strength; visual analog scale (VAS); quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (Q-DASH) score; and modified Mayo score were assessed at 3 months after surgery. In addition, radial inclination, ulnar variance, and volar tilt were evaluated on post-operative radiography.
Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in the wrist range of motion, grip strength, VAS, Q-DASH score, modified Mayo wrist score, and three parameters of post-operative radiography. All patients in both groups had no complications during the perioperative period.
Conclusion: We found that a 10 mm approach obtained early post-operative outcomes and alignment comparable to conventional incision surgery for patients with dorsal displaced distal radius fractures.

Objectives: Laparoscopic surgery is widely performed for acute appendicitis. We started conventional 3-port laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) in 1995 and introduced single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) in 2009. This study compared perioperative outcomes between SILA and CLA to evaluate the usefulness of SILA.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that often necessitates extensive surgery when medical treatment fails, particularly in advanced stages. Traditional surgical approaches, including flaps and skin grafts, are effective for tissue coverage but can lead to vascular complications and recurrence of HS. This study introduces a novel technique, the apple-peeling procedure, combined with negative pressure wound therapy at -50 mm Hg for 5 days postoperatively.

Percutaneous biopsy is the standard of care for breast lesions, except nipple lesions which are primarily biopsied by excision due to perceived risks of pain and bleeding. However, excisional biopsy of nipple lesion inevitably leads to disfigurement and possible loss of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC), highlighting the need for minimally invasive biopsy techniques. We present our experience of seven patients who underwent ultrasound-guided core biopsy or vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) for sampling of clinically occult nipple lesions.

To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of a novel approach to managing the incisions used to treat tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) with soft tissue swelling. We retrospectively enrolled 64 patients with TPFs who underwent surgery at the Second Hospital of Shandong University. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (n = 32) underwent early surgery with the novel incision management technique, and Group B (n = 32) underwent conventional surgery after swelling reduction.

Background: Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is a non-infectious neutrophilic dermatosis most commonly seen in the context of ostomies in inflammatory bowel disease. The lack of established treatment guidelines and high-quality evidence in the form of randomized controlled trials present a major challenge in PPG management, owing to the rarity of the condition. Treatment can be further complicated by difficulties in maintaining the stoma pouch seal with conventional topical corticosteroids.
