Article Abstract
Cases of self-inserted foreign bodies in the male urethra and urinary bladder are unusual. In most cases, the type of foreign body can be identified by taking a history or from radiological findings; sometimes, however, it is difficult to identify the foreign body because of decreased mental capacity of the patient or unknown radiological characteristics of the foreign body. We experienced a chronic alcoholic patient with septicemia and penile necrosis in whom a fragment of mirror glass had passed through the urethra into the bladder. The glass, 2 cm in length and 0.7 cm in diameter, was detected by cystoscopy and was removed by using a resectosope.

Center for Perioperative Optimization, Department of Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital - Herlev and Gentofte, Borgmester Ib Juuls Vej 1, Herlev, DK-2730, Denmark.
Purpose: Primary ventral hernia repair is a common elective procedure; however, mesh placement practices vary widely, and there is limited evidence to guide optimal placement. This international study examined surgeons' preferences and considerations regarding mesh placement in elective primary ventral hernia repair.
Methods: We conducted an international cross-sectional survey targeting surgeons experienced in primary ventral hernia repair.

In-the-Bag Behavior of a New Aspheric Hydrophobic Acrylic Toric Intraocular Lens.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
Purpose: To evaluate tilt, decentration, and axial stability of the Clareon toric intraocular lens (TIOL) (CNW0T3-9; Alcon Laboratories, Inc) over a 6-month follow-up period.
Methods: A single-center, prospective, interventional clinical trial was conducted with a study population of 130 eyes from 82 patients who received a Clareon TIOL. Tilt, decentration, and the aqueous depth were determined preoperatively and at 1 week and 6 months postoperatively using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (Casia 2; Tomey Corporation).

Removal of a Central Venous Catheter Impacted in the Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Using a Balloon Catheter.
Interv Radiol (Higashimatsuyama)
August 2025
Department of Radiology, Mie University Hospital, Japan.
Disruption of the central venous port catheter was identified on the chest radiograph of a 36-year-old woman who had undergone chemotherapy following resection of her colon cancer. Computed tomography revealed that the catheter was impacted in the peripheral pulmonary artery. Instead of using a snare wire, a balloon catheter was inserted into the lumen of the disrupted catheter due to its tight lodging in the pulmonary artery.
