Introduction: Burn injuries are a global health challenge, causing significant pain, tissue damage and complex wound management issues. Traditional treatments like surgical debridement, while effective, pose challenges such as blood loss, grafting requirements, and prolonged hospital stays. Enzymatic debridement, such as the Nexobrid procedure, effectively removes necrotic tissue but can be painful for patients.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the most feared complications of abdominoplasty, and multiple studies in the plastic surgery literature have sought to prevent these complications. General inhalational anesthesia can increase the risk of VTE via a variety of mechanisms. This study evaluates whether performing abdominoplasties under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) instead of general inhalational anesthesia can reduce the risk of VTE.

Background: The common techniques used in nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) are hydrodissection (tumescent dissection) and electrocautery. We hypothesized that bipolar scissors (diathermy scissors) would improve surgical outcomes in mastectomy.
Methods: We prospectively compared 50 patients undergoing NSM using the bipolar scissor technique to retrospective data from patients who had previously undergone NSM with hydrodissection (n = 50) or electrocautery (n = 50).

Objective: Aim: To compare the effectiveness of tumescent anesthesia and regional anesthesia under ultrasound guidance in terms of their impact on nociceptive and stress systems, as well as systemic hemodynamics, in patients with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, undergoing surgical treatment.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Fifty patients (average age 48 ±15 years; 19 [38 %] males and 31 [62 %] females) with chronic venous disease of the lower extremities, who underwent surgical treatment (endovenous laser ablation and miniphlebectomy on one limb), were examined. Twenty-five patients (main group) underwent surgery under femoral nerve block with 150 mg of lidocaine and sciatic nerve block (popliteal fossa) with 150 mg of lidocaine under ultrasound guidance.
