Article Abstract
Tonsillectomy is one of the most common ear, nose and throat surgical procedure, carried out worldwide. Amongst the various method of tonsillectomy (diathermy, laser, harmonic scalpel, radiofrequency cautery cryosurgery and coblation), dissection and snare method is commonest procedure done by otorhinolaryngologist. To compare the post operative complications associated with coblation versus conventional cold-dissection steel tonsillectomy. We carried out the prospective study of complications associated with coblation versus conventional cold steel tonsillectomy in postoperative pain, anesthesia, hemorrhage, fever, pharyngitis, injury of adjacent structure & cautery burn. Average blood loss on Coblation side was 18.74 ml while on conventional side it was 44.2 ml. Post operative pain score, injury to adjacent structure and cautery burn were found to be significantly decreased in coblation. No such difference was observed in pharyngitis and fever in both methods. The use of coblator reduces the post-operative pain, peri or post-operative blood loss, injury to adjacent structure & cautery burn too.

Endoscopic Spring Mediated Cranioplasty for Management of Coronal Craniosynostosis.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2025
Division of Plastic Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford.
Background: Spring-mediated cranioplasty (SMC) is a safe and effective treatment for craniosynostosis. The authors describe the largest cohort of endoscopic SMC for coronal craniosynostosis to date, highlighting the evolution of their technique.
Methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent endoscopic coronal suturectomy and SMC between 2017 and 2023.
A Novel Classification and Surgical Treatment Strategies for Congenital Accessory Auricle With Tragus Malformation.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2025
Department of Auricular Reconstruction, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Background: Congenital accessory auricle is a common aurcile malformation, often associated with tragus malformation, impacting the appearance and psychology of patients. To optimize surgical treatments for congenital accessory auricle with tragus malformation, this article proposes a novel classification and explores surgical strategies.
Methods: This retrospective study included 120 patients with congenital accessory auricle and tragus malformation who underwent surgery between December 2019 and June 2024.
Associations of Chronic Insomnia, Longitudinal Cognitive Outcomes, Amyloid-PET, and White Matter Changes in Cognitively Normal Older Adults.
Neurology
October 2025
Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Background And Objectives: The relationship between insomnia and cognitive decline is poorly understood. We investigated associations between chronic insomnia, longitudinal cognitive outcomes, and brain health in older adults.
Methods: From the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified cognitively unimpaired older adults with or without a diagnosis of chronic insomnia who underwent annual neuropsychological assessments (z-scored global cognitive scores and cognitive status) and had quantified serial imaging outcomes (amyloid-PET burden [centiloid] and white matter hyperintensities from MRI [WMH, % of intracranial volume]).
Fibrin Sealant-Assisted Fixation of an Autologous Iliac Bone Graft in Orbital Floor Reconstruction.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2025
Division of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Sadik Eratik Eye Institute, Haydarpasa Numune Education and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences.
Orbital floor fractures can lead to enophthalmos and diplopia, often requiring surgical intervention to restore orbital volume. Autologous iliac bone grafts are commonly used due to their biocompatibility and mechanical stability, but achieving adequate fixation remains a challenge. Traditional fixation methods, such as plates and screws, may introduce risks of foreign body reactions, graft displacement, and surgical morbidity.

Ann Surg
September 2025
Division of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Liver Transplantation, Department of Surgery, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Objective: To determine the incidence, clinical outcomes, and anatomical risk factors of portal vein (PV)-related complications after right lobe donor hepatectomy (RLDH).
Summary Background Data: With the increase in living donor liver transplantation, large-scale studies on donor morbidity have been conducted to ensure donor safety. However, reports evaluating PV-related complications following right hepatectomy in living donors are lacking.
