Objective: To assess the outcomes of three surgical techniques in the management of simple gastroschisis.
Materials And Methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective, longitudinal study was carried out. Medical records of patients diagnosed with simple gastroschisis and treated with different surgical techniques -Simil-Exit, primary closure, and deferred closure- were reviewed.
Results: 38 gastroschisis patients undergoing either the Simil-Exit (n= 10), the primary closure (n= 11), or the deferred closure (n= 17) techniques were analyzed. The Simil-Exit technique involved a shorter operating time than primary closure and deferred closure. Both Simil-Exit and primary closure patients required a shorter mechanical ventilation time, fewer days of parenteral nutrition, shorter time to oral feeding initiation, and a shorter hospital stay than deferred closure patients. The deferred closure technique had more frequent complications, such as sepsis.
Conclusions: The Simil-Exit and the primary closure techniques demonstrated favorable outcomes in patients with simple gastroschisis. In addition, the former involved shorter operating times, it required less exposure of the small bowel loops to the environment, it was easily reproducible, and it provided a better cosmetic result.

Novel triangle papilla access approach for interdental bone defect regeneration: A case study.

Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Successful periodontal regeneration depends on primary wound closure and interdental papilla preservation. In this case study, we introduce a novel triangle papilla access approach (T-PAA) performed under a surgical microscope for treating interdental bone defects. In this novel approach, buccal incisions were used to access root surfaces and bone defects, avoiding interdental papilla incisions and preventing papillary collapse and necrosis.

Background: The purpose of the present case study is to describe the application of a modification of the Biologically-oriented Alveolar Ridge Preservation (BARP) principles in cases of peri-implant bone dehiscence (PIBD) due to a compromised alveolus at immediate implant placement (IIP).
Methods: The technique is based on the stratification of three layers: a deep layer with a collagen sponge (CS) in the apical part of the alveolus (where the buccal bone plate was still present) to support the blood clot; a graft layer to correct the PIBD; and a superficial collagen layer to cover the graft thus providing space and enhancing clot/graft stability. Healing was obtained by primary closure.
The Efficacy of Prophylactic Vancomycin in Decreasing Surgical Site Infections in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients: A Large Multicenter Cohort Study.

Background: The use of vancomycin powder in spine surgery has been supported in adult populations, however, its efficacy in preventing postoperative surgical site infections in AIS patients is yet to be determined.
Methods: A multi-center review was conducted from June 2010 to February 2019, using ICD and CPT codes to identify AIS patients who underwent primary PSF. The patients were divided into two groups: the vancomycin cohort (receiving local vancomycin powder prior to wound closure) and the non-vancomycin cohort.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of repeated subgingival instrumentation combined with 980 nm diode laser decontamination in the non-surgical treatment of deep periodontal pockets. A total of 40 otherwise healthy patients with generalized periodontitis, encompassing 1,168 sites with deep pockets, were included and baseline PPD, bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival recession (REC), clinical attachment level (CAL), and plaque index (PI) were recorded. Each patient underwent non-surgical laser-assisted periodontal therapy and was enrolled in a maintenance program with three-month recall visits during the first year of follow-up.
