Flap Choice in Gender Affirming Phalloplasty Affects Postoperative Complication Rates
Microsurgery, Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2026.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

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The saphenous vein (SV) remains one of the most widely used grafts in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and the integrity of the endothelium—a complex structure susceptible to deleterious effects from proinflammatory comorbidities—is a critical factor for graft patency. A 75‐year‐old patient with hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin‐dependent Type

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Misplacement of pacemakers lead into the left ventricle (LV) is a rare but clinically important complication, often facilitated by unrecognized intracardiac shunts such as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Early recognition is essential to avoid systemic embolization and ensure safe device function.
