This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the visual outcomes and foveal restoration in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and macular hole (MH) following surgery using the inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique. We collected data on eyes with coexisting RRD and MH that underwent surgery using the inverted ILM flap technique between January 2016 and December 2018. The primary outcome measures were visual acuity (VA) and optical coherence tomography findings. Of 308 eyes with MH originating from various causes, 8 (2.6%) eyes diagnosed with coexisting RRD and MH treated using the inverted ILM flap technique were included. The average patient age and axial length were 65.00 ± 12.01 years and 23.66 ± 0.77 mm, respectively. The mean preoperative best-corrected VA (BCVA) was 1.84 (spherical equivalent [SE], counting finger) ± 0.32 logMAR and the mean final BCVA had improved significantly to 1.05 (SE, 20/223) ± 0.67 logMAR (P = .017). The primary retinal reattachment, MH closure, and secondary retinal attachment rates were 75% (6/8), 87.5% (7/8), and 100% (7/7), respectively. The inverted ILM flap technique led to significant improvements in anatomical and visual outcomes in patients with coexisting RRD and MH.

Management of pilonidal sinus and recurrences in 2025.

J Visc Surg

January 2025

Department of Digestive Surgery, Clinique de La Sauvegarde, avenue Ben-Gourion, 69009 Lyon, France.

Pilonidal sinus is a common pathology of the intergluteal cleft that can develop into abscess or suppuration. This lesion corresponds histologically to a granuloma that organizes around foreign bodies, most often hairs, and fistulizes to the skin through partially epithelialized orifices. If suppuration and abscess develop, treatment is based either on medical treatment combining analgesics, local antiseptics and sometimes antibiotics, or on emergency incision and drainage in the operating room.

Unleashing the potency of multi-segmental DCIA flap in mandibular reconstruction with the aid of virtual surgery- A retrospective cohort study.

Electronic address:

Although the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap is a mainstay in mandibular reconstruction, its multi-segmental utilization is infrequently reported, primarily due to concerns regarding the variable cutaneous component and potentially inadequate vascular supply to multi-block segments. This retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of 86 patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction with multi-segmental DCIA flaps, compared to 167 patients who received conventional single-segmental flaps. The survival rate for multi-segmental flaps was comparable to that of single-segmental flaps (100% vs.

Background:  Free flap reconstruction in the setting of lower extremity trauma continues to be a challenging clinical problem fraught with a high risk of complications including flap compromise. Although studies have described certain risk factors that predispose these patients to poor outcomes, there remains a paucity of literature detailing frailty as a risk factor. As such, the aim of our study was to examine the application of the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) in trauma patients undergoing lower extremity free flap reconstruction.

Background: One-stage direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction is increasingly popular with the use of prepectoral reconstruction leading to increased demand for structural scaffolds. It is vital to determine if differences in safety profiles exist among scaffolds.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients in our breast cancer center undergoing DTI reconstruction.
