Flap Choice in Gender Affirming Phalloplasty Affects Postoperative Complication Rates. [PDF]

open access: yesMicrosurgery
ABSTRACT Background Phalloplasty plays an important role in female‐to‐male (FTM) gender affirmation surgery to create a neophallus that prioritizes aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patients have a variety of flap choices for phalloplasty, but they can often come with complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of flap choice on the rate of

Plasma and cavitation dynamics during pulsed laser microsurgery in vivo

open access: yes, 2007
We compare the plasma and cavitation dynamics underlying pulsed laser microsurgery in water and in fruit fly embryos (in vivo) - specifically for nanosecond pulses at 355 and 532 nm. We find two key differences. First, the plasma-formation thresholds are

Recent Advances in Collective Behaviors of Micro/Nanomotor Swarms

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review describes the driving forces behind collective motion, explores the self‐organization of micro/nano swarms across zero‐dimensional (0D), one‐dimensional (1D), two‐dimensional (2D), and three‐dimensional (3D) spaces, and highlights their potential in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and smart devices.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify
