During surgical repair of congenital heart defects, surgeons often come across anomalies that might not have been adequately illustrated in preoperative imaging. In this case image, we describe the absence of pericardium which was discovered during surgical repair of a sinus venosus defect in a small child.

Oral vs Intravenous Antibiotics for Fracture-Related Infections: The POvIV Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
Importance: Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication following fracture fixation surgery. Current treatment of FRIs entails debridement and 6 weeks of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Lab data and retrospective clinical studies support use of oral antibiotics, which are less expensive and may have fewer complications than IV antibiotics.

Spine Deform
January 2025
Great North Children's Hospital, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of scoliosis in patients who have undergone surgical repair of CDH and attempt to assess the aetiology of scoliosis in affected cases.
Methods: A prospectively collected database of patients with CDH treated in a single centre between 1997 and 2023 was reviewed. Cases with adequate records who continued to reside locally having survived beyond age 2 and > 2 years following CDH repair were included.
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed custom-made titanium ribs for chest wall reconstruction post-desmoid fibromatosis resection.
Comput Assist Surg (Abingdon)
December 2025
Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First People's Hospital of Changzhou, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Changzhou, China.
Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare low-grade benign myofibroblastic neoplasm that originates from fascia and muscle striae. For giant chest wall DF, surgical resection offer a radical form of treatment and the causing defects usually need repair and reconstruction, which can restore the structural integrity and rigidity of the thoracic cage. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of various prosthetic material in thoracic surgery.

Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi
February 2025
Dept. of Implantology, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University & Shandong Key Laboratory of Oral Tissue Regeneration & Shandong Engineering Research Center of Dental Materials and Oral Tissue Regeneration & Shandong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, Jinan 250012, China.
Objectives: To study the clinical effect of the L-shape technique combined with concentrated growth factor on the horizontal bone defects of maxillary anterior teeth.
Methods: Twenty-five implants from 25 patients who underwent single maxillary anterior tooth implantation with simultaneous bone grafting were selected as the study subjects. Based on the bone grafting techniques, the patients were divided into a test group (L-shaped technique with guided bone regeneration combined with concentrated growth factor, 11 cases) and a control group (traditional guided bone regeneration combined with concentrated growth factor, 14 cases).
Surgical Repair of Double Outlet Right Ventricle Infants Guided by Three Dimensional-Computed Tomography Cardiac Modeling and Printing.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
January 2025
Cardiothoracic Surgery, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a challenging congenital cardiac lesion to surgically master. We utilize computed tomography-guided-three-dimensional (3D) modeling/printing and novel in-house software to delineate anatomical relationships providing operative insight into the surgical approach. Our intent is to highlight this and showcase our technology.
