Determining which postsurgical scar assessment instruments, if any, cover important eyelid outcome measures can either attest to the strength of one or more instruments or reveal the need for a more comprehensive scale.

To systematically review validated outcome measures after eyelid surgery and postsurgical scar assessment tools to see whether any individual or combination of 2 assessment tools encompass all relevant, validated eyelid outcome measures.

Systematic reviews of validated eyelid outcome measures and postsurgical scar assessment tools were conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE and Ovid. Outcome measure papers that met inclusion criteria were sorted into 8 categories Patient Subjective, Visual Function, Mechanical Function, Daily Activities, Adverse Effects, Aesthetic Quantitative Clinical Measurements, Aesthetic Qualitative Global, and Aesthetic Qualitative Specific. Outcome measure papers were categorized into tiers of evidence support, and assessment tools were evaluated based on which outcome measures each covered.

No one or combination of 2 assessment tools covered all selected eyelid outcome measures. Although measures related to the subjective patient experience were included in several of the assessment scales, none covered measures of visual function or eyelid-specific clinical measurements.

There is currently no existing postsurgical scar assessment instrument that covers all important eyelid-specific outcome measures.

Minimally invasive procedures that prevent and delay the aging process can be an alternative to more invasive surgical procedures.

To assess the efficacy and safety of L-Lift technique to improve skin firmness, facial global aesthetics, and the patient and investigator satisfaction.

Prospective, open, single-center study. Thirty participants underwent 3 treatment sessions 1 month apart and were assessed 8, 16, and 24 weeks after first injections. Assessments included the Facial Laxity Rating Scale (FLRS), Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), objective measurement of skin elasticity, and the Skin Distension Test.

At Week 24, 60% of the patients had at least 1-class improvement in the FLRS for the middle face and 33% for the lower face. At Week 24, investigators considered that 90.0% of the patients improved according to the GAIS and 90.0% of the subjects considered they have improved. Skin elasticity (at Week 8 and at Week 16) and Skin Distension Test (at Week 24) assessments indicated improvement in skin firmness. Both patients and investigators were satisfied with the treatment at the study end.

The technique is safe and efficacious. It may be particularly suitable for patients presenting initial signs of facial skin laxity.

One of the most important prognostic factors for mortality in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the development of nodal metastasis. There is no consensus regarding which patient with cSCC should be offered sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB).

This study aimed to establish the rate of positive SLNBs among patients with high-risk cSCCs and to identify which high-risk features are associated with a positive SLNB.

Five-year retrospective case series in an academic tertiary care center reviewing 93 SLNBs.

Of the 93 SLNBs performed, 5 (5.4%) were positive. Selpercatinib cell line Three patients (3/5) had neck dissection and one (1/5) had radiation therapy, with no recurrence at the time of last follow-up. A tumor diameter ≥2 cm, a tumor depth >6 mm or below subcutaneous fat, perineural invasion of nerves with a diameter ≥0.1 mm, moderate or poor histological differentiation, lymphovascular invasion, and immunosuppression were associated with a positive SLNB. All tumors with a positive SLNB were classified as T2b according to the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) tumor staging.

Retrospective study and absence of a control group.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy can be considered for BWH T2b and T3 tumors. However, more randomized controlled studies are needed.

Recently, the interest in minimally invasive techniques in the management of the pilonidal sinus has been rising. The main goal is to avoid the prolonged recovery period associated with traditional surgeries.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a radial diode laser probe in the destruction of the pilonidal sinus.

Twenty-seven patients with pilonidal sinus were treated with a radial 1,470-nm diode laser between July 2018 and August 2020 and were examined retrospectively. Charts were reviewed and patients were questioned by telephone about their postlaser recovery period.

Twenty-five patients were included. The overall success rate was 84%. Recurrence rate was 9.5%, after a mean follow-up of 8.3 months. The mean duration of analgesia intake was 2.5 days, and the mean period required to return to daily activities was 5.8 days. Sixteen percent of the patients developed a small postoperative hemorrhage as a complication.

This study demonstrated that radial diode laser is safe, effective, and associated with a low recurrence rate in the treatment of mild pilonidal sinus disease. Dermatologists can perform it easily in the outpatient clinic, with minimal postoperative pain and a fast return to the patients' daily activities.

Spherical periacetabular osteotomy (SPO) is a novel osteotomy involving splitting the teardrop, using patient-specific preoperative planning, and requiring only a 7-cm skin incision. We report preoperative planning methods and short-term results of SPO.

In preoperative planning, computed tomography (CT) images were imported into 3-dimensional templating software. The radius of the curved chisel was mapped to pass through the teardrop, the infracotyloid groove of the ischium, and the area between the anterior superior iliac spine and the anterior inferior iliac spine. The osteotomy height and the predicted depth of osteotome insertion were measured, and those values were reproduced during surgery. We performed a retrospective analysis of data on 52 consecutive patients (55 hips) with hip dysplasia who underwent SPO and were followed for at least 2 years 27 hips had Tönnis grade 0, 21 had grade 1, and 7 had grade 2. The mean age at surgery was 38 years (range, 17 to 56 years). The rotated bone fragment and iliac crest were fixed with absorbable screws.
