Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...

Optimal Site of the Reference Electrode for Recording the Compound Muscle Action Potential of the Deltoid Muscle

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims For recording the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the deltoid muscle, the reference electrode over the acromion (Ac) has been used to avoid contamination of responses from other arm muscles to the distal tendon (DT). A recent article recommended the sternum (St) as the reference electrode.

Selective Pectoralis Muscle Denervation Reduces Capsular Contracture in Sub‐Pectoral Breast Reconstruction. Long‐Term Retrospective Case‐ Control Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implant‐based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the most common method of breast reconstruction globally. Although the traditional approach places implants in a retropectoral position, pre‐pectoral reconstruction has recently gained popularity due to its improved aesthetic outcomes and lower capsular contracture (CC) rates.
