[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] This review summarizes recent advances in the use of botulinum toxin (BoNT) for laryngeal disorders. It highlights the growing therapeutic relevance of BoNT across both motor and sensory conditions, focusing on novel ind…

[INTRODUCTION] Due to the paucity of data, the only recommendation that can be given in the European Hernia Society guidelines is that, to characterize the patient cohort with rectus abdominis diastasis (RAD), a recognized classification sy…

[OBJECTIVE] Nasal septal perforation (NSP) is characterized by defects in the mucosal, cartilaginous, and bony structures of the septum, most commonly resulting from septoplasty. Spontaneous healing of NSPs is rare, necessitating surgical i…

[INTRODUCTION] Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (rNETs) are subepithelial lesions with potential of malignancy. Despite the guidelines recommending that rNETs measuring 10-20 mm should be removed either endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or…

[BACKGROUND] Advancements in transanal management of rectal tumours have improved outcomes in appropriately selected patients. However, variation exists regarding optimal perioperative investigational and surgical strategy. This survey capt…

[BACKGROUND] Early-stage rectal cancer can be managed with transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) as a minimally invasive alternative to radical surgery. However, a major limitation of TEM is the potential for occult metastases in mesorect…

[IMPORTANCE] Stage I squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the glottic larynx carries a favorable prognosis after treatment with endoscopic surgery or radiation therapy (RT). In addition to tumor control, goals of therapy include preservation of…

Early rectal tumors can be effectively managed using transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This study aimed to compare ESD and TEM in the resection of early rectal tumors concerning resection r…

[PURPOSE OF REVIEW] This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the pathophysiology and treatment of middle ear myoclonus (MEM), a rare and under-recognized cause of objective and subjective tinnitus. [RECENT FINDINGS] MEM is i…

[PURPOSE] Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) failure in fecal incontinence (FI) management represents a therapeutic challenge, often leading to more invasive, less accepted alternatives with inconsistent efficacy. In this context, intramural rect…

[BACKGROUND] The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate a new surgical browlift technique with functional results and minimal visible scarring. [METHODS] The authors retrospectively reviewed all charts of patients who underwent the…

The treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has evolved significantly over the past century, driven by a deeper understanding of tumor biology, technological advancements, and multidisciplinary approaches. This article reviews th…

[BACKGROUND] Topical tranexamic acid (TXA), often combined with epinephrine, is used to reduce perioperative bleeding. This systematic review evaluates the safety and effectiveness of this combination across surgical procedures. [METHODS] …

[BACKGROUND] Traditional facelift techniques, although effective in addressing facial aging, are often associated with visible scarring and stigmas. These factors contribute to patient hesitation and a growing preference for nonsurgical alt…

[INTRODUCTION] In cases where laryngoscopy is difficult, part or all of the vocal cords may not be visualized with conventional laryngoscopy, making laryngeal microsurgery challenging or even impossible. It is therefore necessary to develop…

[BACKGROUND] Gastroparesis is a chronic gastric motility disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Patients often experience nausea, vomiting, bloating, and early satiety. Several treatment…

[INTRODUCTION] Esophagus reconstruction could be complicated by leakage, stenosis or graft loss. Salvage surgery may be needed in case of failure of endoscopic treatment or large esophagus defect. Although free jejunal flap is admitted for …
