Article Abstract

Pediatric nasal surgery has been controversial due to concerns about facial growth during adolescence. There is limited data on patient outcomes and no clear guidelines on the optimal age for surgery.To evaluate the safety, complication, and revision rates of nasal surgery in children.Systematic review and meta-analysis of septoplasty, rhinoplasty, and septorhinoplasty studies from 1994 to 2024, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guidelines.Studies on primary nasal septal surgery in children (ages: 0-18) were included. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and chi-squared testing.Twenty-three studies with 27,840 patients were included. Septoplasty had the highest age at surgery and low complication and revision rates. Septorhinoplasty had the youngest age at surgery, and high complication and revision rates. Rhinoplasty had high complications but low revision rates.Pediatric septoplasty has low complication and revision rates. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal age for each procedure.

Radical esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal cancer, but is frequently complicated by postoperative events, most notably anastomotic leakage. Anastomotic leakage, occurring in up to 30% of cases, is multifactorial in origin and significantly increases morbidity and mortality. This review aims to summarize current management strategies, highlight emerging therapies, and identify persistent clinical challenges related to this complication.

Drugs Withdrawn from the Canadian Market for Safety and Effectiveness Reasons, 1990-2024: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Drug Saf

September 2025

School of Health Policy and Management, York University, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, ON, M3J 1P3, Canada.

Introduction: At times it is necessary to withdraw drugs after they have been approved because of lack of effectiveness or safety concerns. Health Canada does not keep a list of withdrawn drugs.

Objective: The aim of this study was to generate a list of all drugs approved since 1990 and subsequently withdrawn from the Canadian market for safety or effectiveness reasons until the end of 2024.

Background And Objective: With obese individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) at early stages of life, hip resurfacing (HR) has emerged as an alternative to arthroplasty. The purpose is to conduct a short-term analysis on patients with obesity who underwent primary HR for OA compared to a benchmark control group of non-obese patients.

Materials And Methods: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent HR from 2010 to 2021 were eligible for inclusion.

Background: Craniosynostosis repair is traditionally performed at high-volume academic centers with multidisciplinary teams. Access barriers in rural or suburban regions raise the question of whether comparable outcomes can be achieved and if this surgery can be performed safely in community settings.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of cranial vault reconstruction for craniosynostosis performed at a community-based children's hospital and compare these outcomes to those reported at academic institutions.
