AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
An expanded polytef (polytetrafluoroethylene [ePTFE]) soft-tissue patch was used in nine patients to reconstruct postparotidectomy defects and prevent Frey's syndrome. All nine cases were constructed primarily using either a 1- or 2-mm-thick patch depending on the depth of the defect. All nine patients achieved excellent, nearly normal contour that approximates the uninvolved side. None complained of Frey's syndrome. Average follow-up to date is 12 months.

Reversal of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Multi-Centric Analysis of Indications, Techniques, and Surgical Outcomes.
Obes Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery and Transplantation, University Hospital of Zurich, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may present long-term complications that require revisional surgery or even reversal to normal anatomy. Data on the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of RYGB reversal remain scarce.
Methods: We identified 48 cases of RYGB reversals with complete 90-day follow-up within a multi-centric international retrospective database of elective secondary bariatric surgery.
Evaluation of three diagnostic algorithms to reduce normal scan rates, radiation exposure and costs in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome referred for 82Rb-Positron Emission Tomography (Rb-PET).
Open Heart
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, radiation exposure and costs. However, the efficacy and safety of these approaches remain unclear.

Niger J Clin Pract
November 2024
Department of Pathology, Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey.
Background: Deep-lobe tumors have been shown to possess a significantly thicker capsule with less tumor penetration compared to superficial tumors. Thus, more conservative surgical approaches, rather than aggressive methods, have been proposed for treating benign deep-lobe tumors of the parotid gland.
Aim: To evaluate the surgical outcomes and oncological safety of selective deep-lobe parotidectomy (SDLP) in patients with benign lesions located in the deep lobe of the parotid gland.

Background: This is an observational cohort study on patients affected by malignant parotid tumors treated with total parotidectomy. The aim of our work is to analyze and compare the effects and complications after parotidectomy, using or not SurgiMend ®.
Methods: 40 patients were retrospectively enrolled between September 2014 and June 2020.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of free dermal fat graft (FDFG) reconstruction after parotidectomy by analyzing clinical complications and patient satisfaction.
- - Researchers conducted a systematic review of 20 studies involving 922 reconstructions and found low rates of complications like hematoma and infection, with most donor site issues being under 1%.
- - Results show that FDFG is a safe and effective method for correcting facial contour deformities, with high patient satisfaction and low incidence of complications such as Frey's syndrome.
