Creation of a Tibia Extension Model With a Perforated Ilizarov Ring System: An Experimental Study in Rats.

Distraction osteogenesis is a valuable clinical technique used to address length discrepancies in long bone deformities. This procedure involves performing an osteotomy at an appropriate site in the bone and correcting the deformity through an extension system. This research aims to investigate the efficacy of a newly developed device for use in rat tibias and to provide an alternative to existing devices used in animal experiments.

Predictive value of hematologic parameters and HALP score for testicular viability in adults with testicular torsion: A multicentric study.

Objectives: To evaluate the predictivity of haematologic parameters and HALP score on testicular viability in adults with testicular torsion.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 139 men ≥18 years of age who underwent testicular detorsion with fixation (n = 90) or orchiectomy (n = 49) due to testicular torsion in five different tertiary centers between May 2019 and August 2023. Demographic, pre-, peri- and postoperative data were analyzed.

Can near-infrared imaging distinguish a gelatin-based matrix granuloma from a malignancy in a kidney?

Differentiating granulomas from cancerous tissue poses a significant challenge in upper urinary tract surgery. We present the case of a 62-year-old male with a gelatin-based matrix (Surgiflo) granuloma in the kidney following renal cyst decortication eight years earlier. Contrast-enhanced abdominal tomography revealed a Bosniak type-4 cyst at the previous operation site.
