Article Abstract
Background: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) is commonly performed in patients with bile duct cancer (BDC). However, data regarding the timing of pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) after PBD are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the optimal timing for surgically and oncologically safe PD after PBD.
Methods: Data of patients who underwent PD for BDC between 2018 and 2020 were reviewed. Risk factor analysis was performed to determine clinical associations of PBD with surgical and survival outcomes. Dose-response curves were plotted to indicate the effect of the time interval between PBD and PD on each outcome.
Results: A total of 109 patients underwent PBD before surgery. In multivariable analysis, PD after 20 days of PBD was significantly associated with improved survival after adjusting for other risk factors (hazard ratio 0.119, 95% confidence interval 0.028-0.5000; P = 0.004). Dose-response graphs showed that rates of postoperative complications and survival were lower when PD was performed around 20 days after PBD.
Conclusion: In BDC patients, the rate of postoperative complications was lower with fair survival outcomes when PD was performed around 20 days after PBD. A large-scale, prospective study is needed to investigate surgical and oncological effects of PBD in BDC patients.

Purpose: The timing of elective surgery for asymptomatic congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) at birth remains controversial. We aimed to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent surgery for CPAM.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients aged < 18 years who were hospitalized for CPAM during the neonatal period and underwent surgery between July 2010 and March 2022 using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database in Japan.
Aim: This study aims to assess the incidence of retethering in patients who underwent surgery for tethered cord in our clinic.
Material And Methods: We included patients who underwent surgical intervention for tethered cord in our clinic between 2010 and 2020 and were subsequently diagnosed with retethering during follow-up. Only those with available postoperative clinical follow-up data were included.

Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

We report the case of a 3-month-old infant with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) necrotizing fasciitis of the neck and chest complicated by bacteremia, pneumonia, and mediastinitis, which required multiple surgical debridements, including median sternotomy. The case is unsual given the patient's age and causative pathogen, and underscores the importance of early diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, and multidisciplinary collaboration to ensure survival.

Rationale: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide, caused by persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) types. While HPV infections usually resolve spontaneously, persistent infections with high-risk HPV types can progress to premalignant glandular or - mostly - squamous intraepithelial lesions, usually classified in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Women with CIN 2 and CIN 3 (i.
