January 2025
Unit of Maxillofacial Surgery, IRCCS San Martino, Genoa.
Introduction: In facial cosmetic surgery, injectable liquid silicone has been used to augment the cheek and the lips and to camouflage facial wrinkles. However, complications started to arise in 1964 as postoperative silicone granuloma formation. The purpose of this study is to introduce our experience in facial reconstruction after injectable silicon oil with a sequential 3-step approach: transoral surgical excision, full-face fat grafting, and hyaluronic acid filler.

Background Toothbrush manufacturers commonly use bristle materials such as nylon, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, boar hair, bamboo, carbon fiber, silicone, polylactic acid, or their modifications such as Curen. Nylon filaments have long been demonstrated to be durable and are widely used, but not much is known regarding the performance of Curen filaments compared to nylon filaments. This in vitro study compared the stiffness, abrasion potential, abrasion resistance, and bristle surface changes of Curen and nylon filaments.

Background: Penile implant surgery is the standard surgical treatment for end-stage erectile dysfunction. However, the growing complexity of modern high-tech penile prostheses has increased the demand for more practical training opportunities. The most advanced contemporary training methods involve simulation training using cadavers, with costs exceeding $5,000 per cadaver, inclusive of biohazard fees.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. Electronic address:
Objectives: Surgery is the only treatment for congenital choanal atresia (CCA). It is crucial to avoid postoperative restenosis or re-occlusion of the neo-choana. This study investigated the efficacy of a navigation-assisted endoscopic endonasal U-flap technique and a bioabsorbable steroid-eluting stent for CCA repair.

Ann Surg Oncol
December 2024
Abdominal Surgery and Transplantation Department, Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: The Resection and Partial Liver Transplantation with Delayed Total Hepatectomy (RAPID) procedure for unresectable colorectal liver metastases (uCRLM) has renewed interest by increasing, in selected cases, patients' long-term survival. Initially described using deceased donor graft, this technique evolved to living donors, tackling organ-shortage issues, allowing better scheduling, and reducing liver failure risk.
Methods: A 50-year-old patient presented 18 months earlier with a colic adenocarcinoma with synchronous uCRLM.
