Introduction: Complex soft tissue injuries in the facial area can arise from various causes. Surgeons face significant challenges when reconstructing these injuries, as they must select appropriate materials based on texture and color, while also considering their composition and properties. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has emerged as a versatile option in clinical reconstructive surgery, offering many advantages over other free flaps.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve associated with the VELYS™ robot in five surgeons from the same centre with different annual arthroplasty volumes using navigated assistance with personalised alignment. The primary aim was to assess the learning curve for each surgeon.

Periorbital defects resulting from oncologic resections, trauma, or congenital malformations pose a complex reconstructive challenge, due to the need to simultaneously restore eyelid function and facial esthetics. We present the case of a male patient in his seventh decade of life with a right orbitomalar squamous cell carcinoma, who underwent a wide oncologic resection involving the upper and lower eyelids, as well as the malar and infraorbital regions. Reconstruction was performed using a radial free forearm flap from the left arm, including the palmaris longus tendon, which was strategically anchored to the medial canthus and orbital rim to provide dynamic eyelid support.

This article explores the evolving landscape of surgical practice and the potential need for unionization among surgeons. Historically, surgeons were too consumed by their demanding workloads to consider collective bargaining. However, shifts in health care employment structures-where hospitals and health systems increasingly govern surgeons' work conditions-have led to discussions about unionization.
