Biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma is a rare and aggressive disease that primarily occurs in the sinonasal tract. Diagnosing this type of sarcoma can be challenging due to the need to evaluate both the pathological and immunophenotypic characteristics of the tumor. Furthermore, when it occurs in an unusual location outside the sinonasal tract, it can be confusing for surgeons and result in mismanagement. This article describes a case of biphenotypic sarcoma located in the left parapharyngeal space, which has never been described in English literature before. The authors emphasize the challenges associated with diagnosing and managing this type of tumor.

The authors describe a 41-year-old man who suffered retraction-related complications that may have been missed or delayed. The present case illustrates the potential dangers associated with tympanic retraction pockets, despite the fact that their bottoms are clear and clean. The article discusses the reasons for the lack of consensus among otologists regarding the appropriate way to treat tympanic membrane retractions. There is further discussion regarding the challenges associated with early surgical intervention.

A significant increase in peripheral nerve surgery has occurred in recent years due to improvements in surgical techniques. In most reconstructive procedures, sensory restoration is frequently neglected in preference to restoring motor function. Along with increasing the risk of developing injuries to the body, patients who lose protective sensations are more likely to develop neuropathic pain and depression, which adversely affect their quality of life. As regaining sensory function is important, the study examines a variety of techniques that may be useful for restoring sensory function across various body parts.

An examination of plastic surgery residents' experiences with microsurgery in Latin American countries was conducted in a cross-sectional study with 129 microsurgeons. The project also identifies ways to increase the number of trained microsurgeons in the region. The authors claim that there are few resident plastic surgeons in Latin America who are capable of attaining the level of experience necessary to function as independent microsurgeons. It is believed that international microsurgical fellowships would be an effective strategy for improving the situation.

The incidence of high-grade sinonasal adenocarcinomas of non-intestinal origin is extremely rare. In this case report, the authors present a very rare case of high-grade non-intestinal sinonasal adenocarcinoma presenting with a challenging diagnosis. Because of its significantly different prognosis, this study provides a detailed explanation of how the authors differentiate it from other sinonasal tumors. In addition, they describe how a radical endoscopic resection was applied in order to achieve a total excision.

The article describes the case of a 27-year-old man who suffered from scarring at the penopubic junction as a result of penis lengthening surgery. The authors explain how they repaired the penopubic junction by using a pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap. The authors also propose a safe and effective hybrid technique for harvesting superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flaps. According to the authors, the pedicled superficial circumflex iliac artery perforator flap is an effective method for reconstructing the penopubic scar.

Smartphones and cellular technology have revolutionized flap monitoring. Smartphones provide low-cost thermal imaging alternatives to flap monitoring. It remains unclear, however, whether this method is accurate or reliable. It may be challenging to use smartphone thermal imaging when clinicians fail to communicate clinically relevant events. The authors demonstrate three instances in which the thermal imaging information on smartphones was misleading. Each case is analyzed to determine how clinical decisions should be made.

The loupe plays a critical role in the microsurgeon's arsenal, helping to provide intricate details. In the absence of adequate subcutaneous fat, the prismatic lens of the spectacle model may exert enormous pressure on the delicate skin of the nasal bone. By developing a soft nasal support, the author has incorporated the principle of offloading into an elegant, simple yet brilliant innovation. A simple procedure such as this could prove invaluable for microsurgeons who suffer from nasal discoloration or pain as a result of prolonged use of prismatic loupes. With this technique, 42% of the pressure applied to the nose is reduced.

In a cost-effective and portable way, a novel method was developed to assist trainees in spinal surgery to gain and develop microsurgery skills, which will increase self-confidence. Residents at a spine surgery center were assessed before and after training on the effectiveness of a simulation training model. The participants who used the training model completed the exercise in less than 22 minutes, but none could do it in less than 30 minutes previously. The research team created a comprehensive model to train junior surgeons advanced spine microsurgery skills. The article contains valuable information for readers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential damage to the cochlea caused by plugging a dehiscent superior semicircular canal with different plugging materials in a histological animal study (gerbils). The authors assessed the extent of damage to the cochlea by measuring the number, size, and density of spiral ganglion neurons as well as the size of Rosenthal
