The primary aim of our retrospective chart review is to compare open surgical (OS) tracheostomies performed by specialist and supervised resident surgeons, focusing on surgical time and post-surgical complications. The secondary objective was to compare these data based on the years of surgical experience for both specialists and residents.

Myopericytoma (MPC) is a rare tumour characterized by a perivascular proliferation of pericytic cells with myoid differentiation and a typical spindle shape. Except for the rare malignant cases, MPC mostly shows a benign course. Symptoms are often non-specific, and the diagnosis could be accidental. Simple biopsies are often non-diagnostic and do not provide any information about the benign or malignant course of the disease. General agreement for its management is lacking.

The aim of this study is to investigate if and how decompression alters histopathologic diagnoses of cystic jaw lesions.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colonic neoplasms is a technically intricate procedure. Internal traction using a single clip has emerged as a promising supportive technique for colonic ESD. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ESD with and without the aid of single-clip traction.

Spontaneous regression (SR) is a tumor's partial or complete disappearance without any treatment. In the literature, it has been documented that SR is uncommon in breast cancer (BC) and other types of cancer. Multiple mechanisms are believed to contribute to the development of SR. However, its mechanism still needs to be clearly demonstrated. Although two SR patients were presented in our study, the evidence needed to be more sufficient to determine the mechanism. However, due to Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) negativity in both patients, the hypothesis in the literature that PD-L1 has strong antitumoral activity was not supported. In addition, it was determined that the patient in case 2 was the first Cerb B2 positive case reported in the literature and had the earliest SR period. Due to this, it has been disclosed that the SR mechanism of BC will be concluded within 21 days at the earliest. This situation suggests that breast surgeons, in particular, should conduct a thorough physical examination and, if necessary, re-radiological examination before surgery on patients for whom surgery is decided after diagnosis. Being careful in this regard may increase the number of SR in BC cases and allow molecular investigations on living tissue samples to reveal the underlying mechanism.

Paraduodenal Hernia (PDH) is an extremely rare cause of bowel obstruction. The true incidence of pediatric PDH is unknown since there are very few published cases of this phenomenon. PDH carries a high morbidity and mortality rate if unidentified. Proper diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are extremely important. Our case is of a healthy 3-year-old male who presented with six days of generalized abdominal pain associated with constipation, anorexia, insomnia, and non-bloody, non-bilious emesis. Abdominal ultrasound (US) was negative for intussusception and failed to visualize the appendix. Abdominal x-ray (AXR) showed nonspecific distention of several loops of bowel with air-fluid levels. Computerized tomography (CT) scan was concerning for an internal hernia versus possible transverse colonic volvulus. The patient's abdominal pain and distension worsened after nasogastric (NG) tube placement. With the combination of physical and imaging findings, the patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy. Intraoperatively, severely dilated bowel was encountered, which was decompressed via the appendix. After which, we discovered a PDH on the left side of the ligament of Treitz which was successfully reduced. The patient had no complications and continues tolerating a regular diet with return of normal bowel function. Our case describes successful laparoscopic surgical reduction of a pediatric left paraduodenal hernia.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgical procedure for the removal of the gallbladder. Effective anesthesia is crucial for ensuring patient comfort and safety during LC. Dexmedetomidine, a selective α2-adrenergic agonist, is widely used as an adjunct to anesthesia due to its sedative and analgesic properties. Nalbuphine, a synthetic opioid analgesic, is also employed for pain management during various surgical procedures. This study aimed to determine the anesthesia effects of dexmedetomidine combined with nalbuphine on patients undergoing LC and its impact on their nutritional status.

This study assesses the effectiveness of combining transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Chronic dacryocystitis often leads to a poor prognosis due to factors like chronic inflammation resulting in lacrimal duct obstruction and recurrent infections. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with chronic dacryocystitis treated by endoscopic nasal dacryocystostomy and to establish a risk prediction model.

In the pediatric surgical population, Emergence Delirium (ED) poses a significant challenge. This study aims to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models to identify key features associated with ED and predict its occurrence in children undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy.

Interlocking intramedullary nailing and percutaneous plate implantation are commonly used techniques in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. This study aimed to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment strategy between interlocking intramedullary nails and percutaneous plate implantation by analyzing and summarizing the available evidence.

Surgical intervention is crucial in radical resection of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Different surgical procedures have different oncologic outcomes and safety in patients with RCC. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the oncologic outcomes and safety of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) versus open partial nephrectomy (OPN) in treating patients with localized RCC.

This study aimed to explore potential risk factors associated with chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to establish the risk prediction model of chronic postoperative pain (CPSP).

This study aims to identify meaningful clusters based on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in curatively-treated esophageal cancer patients at three months post-discharge.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and long-term prognosis of all-inside and outside-in suturing methods for meniscus repair under knee arthroscopy.

Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, in addition to causing progressive renal function loss, can lead to the formation of retained stones. Management planning for concomitant stones and UPJ obstruction is a topic of debate in the literature. We performed laparoscopic pyeloplasty and extracted all 144 stones from the renal pelvis and calyces of a 37-year-old male with UPJ stricture, using wireless flexible cystoscopic guidance. No complications occurred during the perioperative and postoperative periods. In challenging cases of UPJ obstruction with stones in multiple calyceal locations, simultaneous flexible cystoscopy offers clinicians a significant advantage.
