Airway stenosis and malignant tumors are the 2 main reasons to perform a surgical resection of part of the trachea. Tracheal lesions with a length shorter than 5 cm can be resected and primary reconstruction can be safely effected. Excessive anastomotic tension should be avoided because it may lead to restenosis or dehiscence at the anastomosis. Reconstruction of a longer defect may be attempted with a tracheal allotransplant or with autologous tissue.

Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of pedicled supraclavicular flaps in hypopharyngectomy reconstruction, with a focus on preserving laryngeal function.
Methods: From August 2019 to June 2022, 14 patients with primary hypopharyngeal carcinoma who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and underwent the repair of hypopharyngeal defects using pedicled supraclavicular flaps were included retrospectively. Relevant clinical evaluation indicators include patient characteristics, defect sizes, flap sizes, flap harvesting time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, recurrence, and survival outcomes.

Comparison of target concentration of propofol during three phases of live donor liver transplant surgery using a target-controlled infusion of propofol total intravenous anaesthesia - A prospective, observational pilot study.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores how the pharmacokinetics of propofol—specifically its required concentrations—varies in different phases (dissection, anhepatic, and neohepatic) during liver transplantation.
- It involved 20 patients with chronic liver disease, and used a target-controlled infusion method to adjust propofol levels based on the bispectral index (BIS), which measures consciousness levels.
- Results showed that the mean target concentration of propofol was highest during the dissection phase, significantly decreasing during the anhepatic and neohepatic phases, indicating a need for lower propofol dosages in those latter stages.

Vascularized composite allografts (VCA) encompass the face, upper limb, trachea, penis, abdominal wall, and, more recently, uterus transplants. They offer unique reconstructive possibilities to overcome the limitations of traditional reconstructive techniques. Unlike solid organ transplants (heart, liver, kidney, lung, etc.
