Article Abstract
Syndactyly is a common congenital malformation of the hand, characterized by fusion of adjacent digits. Early surgical correction is recommended to prevent functional limitations and esthetic concerns. We report the case of a three-year-old girl with congenital simple complete cutaneous syndactyly between the third and fourth fingers of the left hand. The fusion was limited to soft tissues, with fully formed and separate fingernails. Surgical separation was performed using interdigital dorsal and palmar Z-plasty incisions, followed by full-thickness skin grafting harvested from the groin donor site. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. At follow-up, the patient demonstrated a normal range of motion, satisfactory esthetic results, and no evidence of web creep or joint stiffness. This case supports the effectiveness and safety of Z-plasty combined with full-thickness skin grafting for the correction of simple syndactyly in early childhood.

Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is common in patients with heart failure (HF). Although randomized clinical trials have been focused on the treatment of severe SMR, the prognostic role and potential for treatment of moderate SMR cannot be overlooked. The randomized RESHAPE-HF2 trial included patients with moderate and severe SMR with consistent findings in both groups, raising the hypothesis that transcatheter correction of moderate SMR could have beneficial effects, although this needs further investigation.

Department of Auricular Reconstruction, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Background: Congenital accessory auricle is a common aurcile malformation, often associated with tragus malformation, impacting the appearance and psychology of patients. To optimize surgical treatments for congenital accessory auricle with tragus malformation, this article proposes a novel classification and explores surgical strategies.
Methods: This retrospective study included 120 patients with congenital accessory auricle and tragus malformation who underwent surgery between December 2019 and June 2024.
The efficacy, safety and predictability of transepithelial versus mechanical or alcohol-assisted photorefractive keratectomy - a meta-analysis.

Department of Ophthalmology, Saarland University Medical Center, Homburg/Saar, Germany.
Topic: The aim of this study was to assess the meta-analysis of the studies comparing transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TransPRK) to classical photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) (mechanical or alcohol-assisted).
Clinical Relevance: While PRK is a well-established procedure, TransPRK, a newer, minimally invasive technique may reduce surgery time and improve patient outcomes. Comparing these techniques helps optimize surgical choices.
Surgical options for correcting refractive surprise following lens and cataract surgery: a review and meta-analysis.
J Cataract Refract Surg

Helsinki Retina Research Group, University of Helsinki, Finland.
Topic: To compare the outcomes of surgical approaches to correct ametropia following cataract and lens surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Despite advancements in the field of biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas, complete elimination of refractive surprises following cataract and lens surgery is impossible. Preferred Practice Patterns acknowledges the possibility of refractive surprise following cataract surgery; however, no recommendations regarding the preferred treatment have been given.
