Animal models of benign airway stenosis: Advances in construction techniques, evaluation systems, and perspectives

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Currently, the animals commonly used to establish animal models of benign airway stenosis (BAS) include mice, rats, pigs, dogs, rabbits, and ferrets. The establishment methods involve one or a combination of two methods such as mechanical injury, tracheal cautery, cuff overpressure intubation, laser injury, and endoscopic silver nitrate cauterization ...

Beyond a Conduit: The Evolution of Functional Biliary Stents From Active Intervention to Enabling Platforms

open access: yesiNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of functional biliary stents, outlining the paradigm shift from “active intervention” strategies that target stent failure to next‐generation “enabling platforms.” These platforms leverage biodegradable materials, 3D/4D printing, and smart sensors to achieve personalized, regenerative, and theranostic solutions ...

Post-urethroplasty complications in hypospadias repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing polydioxanone and polyglactin sutures

open access: yesWorld Journal of Pediatric Surgery
Background Polyglactin (PG) and polydioxanone (PDS) sutures are extensively used based on the surgeon’s preference. The development of post-reconstruction urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF) is variably attributed to the choice of suture material for ...

Patients with preoperative bone marrow oedema benefit more substantially from medial meniscus posterior root repair

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To analyze the clinical outcomes of the surgical repair of medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMRT) in patients with preoperative bone marrow oedema (BME). Methods Patients who underwent arthroscopic pull‐out repair for MMRT between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, and those with a minimum of two years of follow‐up were ...

Stability of Hairline Lowering Using Small Footprint Soft Tissue Anchoring Devices

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Facial aesthetics and balanced proportions are influenced by “facial thirds,” and hairline recession/large foreheads can alter this natural harmony. Hairline lowering with bioabsorbable fixation devices, such as the Endotine Forehead‐mini, aims to restore facial balance through stable advancement of the hairline. In this 2011–2024 single‐surgeon series
