Article Abstract
Introduction: 3D biomodels represent a cutting-edge advancement in medical imaging technology. The incorporation of 3D technologies in dermatology through the acquisition of onychological images, 3D reconstruction, and development of customized equipment to assist in surgeries demonstrated reduction in operating times and improved surgical outcomes. Additionally, the use of 3D printing in surgical simulation provided a safe environment for training and education. This article explores the application of 3D biomodels in dermatology, focusing on three clinical cases involving nail tumors.
Case Presentation: In case 1, a glomus tumor was visualized in 3D, guiding the creation of a personalized surgical device. The minimally invasive surgery, facilitated by the biomodel, resulted in successful tumor removal. Case 2, featuring a subungual keratoacanthoma, utilized 3D biomodels for conservative surgery planning, anatomical comprehension, and patient communication. Case 3 involved a longitudinal groove, where biomodels aided in precise lesion localization and surgical planning.
Conclusion: The integration of virtual and physical anatomical biomodels proves valuable in surgical dermatology, contributing to enhanced treatment quality, patient safety, and medical education.

Introduction: This paper examines the use of local antibiotic therapy in one-stage septic revision surgery for late periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). This case study suggests that morselized bone allografts impregnated with antibiotics in powder form are a preferable alternative to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) because they can generate higher local antibiotic concentrations. Current research also recommends using vancomycin and aminoglycosides as the preferred choice of antibiotics, as they may have low diffusion in tissues when administered intravenously, but are effective when administered locally.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis is one of the most pathogenic zoonoses caused by the larval forms of . It is endemic in central Europe, but from 2001 to 2018, eight European countries reported their first cases of alveolar echinococcosis. These numbers testify to unprecedented spread of the infection.

Introduction: This project aimed to decrease surgical site wound infections (SSIs) to less than 1 per 100 cases in pediatric patients after cardiothoracic surgery.
Methods: A multidisciplinary workgroup was established to identify perioperative risk factors, and educational gaps and create a bedside quality improvement (QI) rounding group to monitor wounds. SSIs were defined according to the Centers for Disease Control National Healthcare Safety Network guidelines.
