Purpose: To determine the clinical effects of urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis on complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture and describe the technical aspects of this procedure.
Materials And Methods: The clinical data for 24 patients who underwent urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis for complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture between March 2021 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical procedure comprises the following four steps: creation of an inverted Y-shaped incision in the perineum; mobilization of the urethra up to the penile-scrotal junction followed by dissection and separation of the septum of the corpus cavernosum; separation of the inferior pubic symphysis, excising a portion of the inferior pubic symphysis bone tissue and thoroughly clearing the scar tissue surrounding the proximal urethra; and suturing and suspension of the proximal urethra and surrounding tissues at the 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions, ensuring complete exposure of the proximal urethral mucosa and tension-free anastomosis between the proximal and distal urethra.

Objectives: To evaluate the surgical and patient-reported outcomes of YV-plasty in patients with refractory bladder neck stenosis (BNS) following transurethral prostate surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed five patients who underwent YV-plasty for BNS between January 2021 and October 2023. The surgical procedure involved a midline lower abdominal incision to expose the bladder neck.

Aim: Due to the diversity and complexity of tissues involved in secondary nasal deformities following unilateral cleft lip, secondary nasal deformity correction surgeries are challenging and often yield unsatisfactory results, posing a difficult problem for plastic surgeons. Autologous cartilage, with its low sculpting difficulty, minimal absorption, and stable tissue compatibility, is considered the optimal material for reconstructing the columella, nasal tip, and alar. This study analyzed the clinical outcomes of using autologous cartilage to create a Y-shaped columella to correct secondary nasal deformities after cleft lip surgery.

Methods: Using a Fisher-to-Lewis rat kidney transplantation model, the renal artery anastomosis was performed using the interrupted (I) suture technique, Y-shaped continuous (Y) suture technique, and anterior-interrupted and posterior-continuous (I-C) suture technique. The rats were then divided into three groups: I group, Y group, and I-C group.

The eye lens contains convexly curved fiber cells that align in concentric layers around the lens anterior-posterior pole axis. For lens fiber differentiation at the equator, cells elongate with their apical and basal tips migrating towards the anterior and posterior poles, respectively. At each pole, the fiber tips meet opposing tips of other fiber cells, to form a suture.
