Dressing choice following lower-extremity total joint arthroplasty has substantial ramifications for postoperative outcomes and should be carefully made to prevent complications such as periprosthetic joint infection.

Patient risk factors are essential components in the selection of wound dressings in total joint arthroplasty.

Traditional dressings are inexpensive per unit; nevertheless, the associated higher complication profile in patients at a high risk for poor wound healing and sequelae-associated costs may outweigh the up-front savings.

Modern dressings have the potential to yield better safety outcomes and increased patient satisfaction; however, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the ideal interactive dressing.

Active dressings, such as silver-ion dressings and closed-incisional negative-pressure wound therapy, have shown promising results to reduce surgical site and periprosthetic joint infection, especially in patients at a high risk for poor wound healing following hip and knee total joint arthroplasty.

In advanced pharyngoesophageal cancer patients, a critical event is represented by the failure of primary reconstruction with exposure of the carotid artery and partial or total defect of the cervical esophagus. For these high-risk patients, a partitioned pectoralis major musculocutaneous (PMMC) flap can prevent carotid blowout and provide skin for simultaneous esophageal reconstruction.

Twenty-six patients needing pharyngoesophageal reconstruction together with coverage of carotid artery exposure were included in this retrospective case series. The patients were treated with a partitioned PMMC flap, based on the branching pattern of the pectoral branch of the thoracoacromial artery and the perforators of the pectoralis major muscle, to simultaneously reconstruct the defect and provide coverage for the carotid artery.

In 25 patients, the partitioned PMMC flap reconstructions resulted in complete wound healing without occurrence of carotid blowout syndrome or fistula formation. Minor complications as partial flap necrosis (7.7%) and strictures formation (7.7%) were recorded but did not compromise reconstruction. Nexturastat A Twenty-two patients were able to adopt a semisolid diet, and 4 had recurrence of cancer.

The partitioned PMMC flap reconstruction represents a useful salvage solution to simultaneously restore the continuity of the alimentary tract and provide reliable coverage for the exposed carotid artery.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a known complication of burns. The incidence of this complication is low. The etiology is unclear, but experiment conducted about HO can be significant. Currently, there are still no targeted, effective preventive and therapeutic measures against it. In this study, the relevant literature is summarized to demonstrate the potential pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment measures of HO in burn patients. Early diagnosis and treatment can be effective in improving the prognosis of patients.

Live streaming surgery is a developing communication platform in medicine. To maximize the technological advances that allow for the live streaming of surgery, it is crucial to have an understanding of the various video-capturing devices that are available and their pros and cons of implementation. Possible barriers to the widespread use of live streaming surgery include cost, concerns about patient safety and privacy, and limited understanding of the current available resources. In this article, we present the results of our literature review of techniques for live streaming of surgery as a means to inform readers and promote their implementation.

We conducted a literature review of the literature to identify previous articles indexed in PubMed and Ovid. We used the following search terms [Surgery AND Streaming], which generated 32 articles for initial review. References were reviewed within each document to find similar articles that were not captured by the initial search. The article selection criteriibility has advanced over the past 2 decades with the availability of handheld mobile devices. However, little has been done to allow for live streaming of surgery to trainees in a manner compliant with the Health Portability Insurance and Accountability Act.

We present a case report of a 48-year-old woman with a late-onset seroma of her left breast, 6 years after removal of her textured breast implants. At that time, she also had a late-onset seroma of her left breast, and capsulectomy was performed along with removal of the implants. The current late seroma presentation, which followed 6 years of uneventful healing, was treated with en bloc excision of the encapsulated seroma. Pathology results were concordant with locally invasive anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Review of her previous seroma cytology from 6 years ago was performed given the current updated guideline standards on breast implant-associated ALCL (BIA-ALCL). Evidence of BIA-ALCL confirmed the patient had the diagnosis 6 years ago. The disease persisted and remained indolent for 6 years and manifested clinically as a late seroma of the left breast. This case report emphasizes the high degree of suspicion that is required in late seroma cases involving textured breast implants or a history of textured breast implants, along with the need for en bloc capsulectomy as a primary treatment for diagnosed BIA-ALCL to avoid incomplete capsulectomy and recurrence of the disease.
