Secondary repair is a common necessity after blepharoplasty. The need stems from faulty methodology in primary aesthetic periorbital repair. Rethinking initial procedures with careful attention to diagnosis, planning, and execution in the light of contemporary knowledge should eliminate the need for most secondary repair. The procedures that have been traditional over the last 50 years are obsolete today, as we have come to a better understanding of blepharoplasty. It is appropriate that conceptualization and technique change to eliminate the massive and growing volume of secondary deformity. Redirecting the focus in secondary repair, both in the upper and lower orbital regions, gives reoperation a greater chance of success, while avoiding ill conceived solutions that accentuate deformity.

The Effect of Postoperative Tranexamic Acid and Dexamethasone on Quality of Recovery After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: a Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Pain Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, 200233, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) commonly results in significant postoperative pain. Adjuncts like dexamethasone (DEX) and tranexamic acid (TXA) are used to enhance postoperative recovery. This study aimed to determine whether the combined application of TXA and DEX could improve postoperative recovery during the first 24 hours in ARCR patients.

Department of Neurology, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.
Background: Ataxia-telangiectasia (Louis-Bar syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive ataxia, ocular telangiectasias, immunodeficiency and increased cancer risk due to impaired DNA repair.
Phenomenology Shown: Thorough clinical and subsequently radiological examination in a 19-year-old woman with a history of previously undiagnosed, progressive gait ataxia since early childhood, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and severe combined immunodeficiency revealed the eponymous features of the disease, ocular telangiectasias and cerebellar atrophy, enabling targeted genetic testing.
Educational Value: Ocular telangiectasias represent an important clue for a diagnosis of ataxia-telangiectasia in young patients with progressive ataxia, implicating awareness of increased malignancy risk and treatment of immunodeficiency.
Secondary Subtalar Arthrodesis: Surgical Outcome and Predictors of Functional Outcome and Quality of Life After Bone Block Distraction vs In Situ Technique.
Foot Ankle Orthop
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: The outcome of a secondary subtalar arthrodesis after prior calcaneal fracture has been widely described. However, the surgical treatment has evolved significantly over the past decade, paralleling the shifts observed in primary repair strategies. Therefore, we describe the outcome following a secondary arthrodesis after an intra-articular calcaneal fracture, comparing the in situ (ISA) and bone block distraction arthrodesis (BBDA) techniques.

Background: Interventricular septal dissection is a critical disease characterized by the separation of the intraventricular septum into two layers, forming an intermediate layer with a cystic cavity that communicates with the root of the aorta or ventricle. It has low morbidity and high mortality rates.
Case Presentation: Case 1: A 58-year-old male with a history of hypertension and smoking presented to a local hospital due to chest tightness and pain for 4 days.
Incidence and comparison of postoperative explained and unexplained fever in open aortic repair.
Ann Vasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Vascular Surgery, Regional and University Hospital of Reims, France.
Objective: Fever is a classic symptom in postoperative period, but to our knowledge no study shows exclusively the occurrence of fever after open aortic repair (OAR) and explores the difference between explained and unexplained fever.
Methods: Patients who underwent an OAR between March 2018 to April 2023 in Reims University Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The primary endpoint was the rate of fever after OAR, which was classed in explained fever group (eFG) or unexplained fever group (uFG).
