Article Abstract

Triangular resection is an effective repair technique for isolated segmental posterior leaflet prolapse in mitral valves at low risk for systolic anterior motion. It is applicable in the majority of such cases, is low risk, and has excellent long-term durability. Its simplicity and efficacy make it an essential part of every mitral surgeon's armamentarium. Herein we present our robotic approach to triangular resection, highlighting subtle adaptations from the open technique.

Deceleration can cause liver ruptures via ligament traction, with a specific, little-known transverse rupture in segment II of the left lobe being a concern. This study aimed to provide a detailed morphological characterization of these segment II ruptures, analyse their formation mechanisms using autopsy material, and propose a systematic intraoperative assessment method to improve their detection. This study analysed the autopsy cases of 132 victims of sudden, violent deceleration (falls from height, traffic accidents) performed between 2011 and 2014.

Introduction: Dorsal cartilage preservation techniques have gained significant popularity among rhinoplasty surgeons recently, as they present natural dorsal aesthetic lines, and avoid dorsal reconstruction procedures for the cartilage dorsum. With correct patient selection criteria, cartilage preservation techniques give good results, while on the wrong patients, this may not always be possible. Also, blending these dorsal preservation techniques with different approaches in other subunits of the nose (tip complex and alar cartilages) may offer a variety of options in today's rhinoplasty world.

Objective: Prolapse of the P2 cusp of the mitral valve is a common valvular lesion that is amenable to surgical repair. Both resective and nonresective leaflet repair procedures are used, yielding good acute correction of the valve lesion, but with variable resulting valve kinematics and mechanics. In this study, we used a patient-specific computational model of isolated P2 prolapse without excess tissue to assess the mechanical and anatomical benefits of different surgical techniques.

Background: Reconstruction using a megaprosthesis is the primary method for treating long segmental bone tumors in the extremities following resection. However, conventional stem (CS) prostheses fail to provide stable fixation in the metaphysis. To improve prosthetic fixation in the proximal femoral metaphysis, in a previous study, we proposed a novel triangular fixation stem (TFS) design.
