Article Abstract
Decompressive craniectomy is one of the most common procedures for managing severe traumatic brain injury. Cranioplasty plays a vital role in restoring the integrity of the skull and preventing complications that may arise after a decompressive craniectomy. This case report presents a 24-year-old woman who underwent cranioplasty with a cryopreserved autologous bone flap. Initially successful, the procedure was later complicated by a delayed surgical site infection and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis, ultimately resulting in complete resorption of the bone flap. The report discusses the consequences of autologous bone flap resorption and surgical site infection, highlighting the critical need for effective sterilization and proper bone storage techniques. This case emphasizes the necessity of exploring alternative strategies to improve cranioplasty outcomes and minimize the risk of infection.

Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) offers an effective alternative for the treatment of anastomotic leakage. Current treatment options for leakage include conservative treatment, stent placement, or reoperation. However, conservative treatment often results in slow recovery and is frequently ineffective in severe cases.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Aging may place patients at greater risk for adverse perioperative outcomes. We hypothesized that women undergoing minimally invasive (MIS) sacrocolpopexy aged ≥ 70 years are more likely to experience adverse events (AE) within 8 weeks of surgery.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of a retrospective study on perioperative adverse events in women ≥ 61 years old undergoing prolapse surgery at a single academic center from January 2016 to May 2023.

Surgical resection remains the frontline intervention for cancer; however, postoperative tumor recurrence and wound infection remain critical unmet challenge in surgical oncology. Herein, an all-in-one nanowired hydrogel (V-Hydrogel) is developed through a facile one-step assembly employing enzyme-mimetic VO nanowires and bactericidal crosslinker THPS. The V-Hydrogel reserves the glutathione peroxidase-, peroxidase-, catalase-, and oxidase-mimetic enzymatic activities derived from vanadium oxide nanowires, thereby exhibiting efficient tumor-specific catalytic therapy.

Objective: To compare postoperative outcomes of flap maturation (FMT) and conventional tracheotomy techniques in pediatric patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed using data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric database (2020-2021). Pediatric patients ≤ 18 years who underwent FMT (CPT 31610) or conventional tracheotomy (CPT 31600, 31,601) were included.

Background: Mucormycosis is a rare, rapidly progressive fungal infection with a high mortality rate. However, clinical data of mucormycosis patients, especially those related to adverse outcomes in China, remain limited.
Objective: To enhance understanding of the clinical characteristics of different infection site mucormycosis and identify the factors associated with adverse outcomes.
