Background/aims: When conducting a randomised controlled trial in surgery, it is important to consider surgical learning, where surgeons' familiarity with one, or both, of the interventions increases during the trial. If present, learning may compromise trial validity. We demonstrate a statistical investigation into surgical learning within a trial of cleft palate repair.

Introduction Cosmetic surgery has advanced significantly, with wound closure techniques crucial for determining aesthetic and healing outcomes. Recently, cyanoacrylate glue and subcuticular sutures have gained attention for their unique benefits in cosmetic procedures. Cyanoacrylate glue, a non-invasive tissue adhesive, facilitates faster wound closure with minimal trauma, while subcuticular sutures offer durable, concealed closures, particularly suited for areas under mechanical stress.

Background: A strategy combining tear-oriented initial surgical procedure and subsequent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) can be adopted for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study investigated this strategy's outcomes and the role of the aortic hiatus (AH).
Methods: Overall, 192 consecutive patients with ATAAD who underwent initial surgery between 2012 and 2021 were assessed in this observational retrospective study.

Late presentation of an anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) syndrome is uncommon because of the low survival rates past infancy. Different operative procedures have been described, often combined with coronary bypass grafting. However, none of these approaches address the difficulty in dissecting out the aortic root and infundibulum because of collateral circulation, often dense in the elderly.
