Revision lumbar spine surgeries are technically challenging with inconstant outcome results. Successful intervention requires a detailed history and physical examination carefully chosen diagnostic tests. Preoperative planning is paramount in these cases. The decision-making process should address the timing of surgery, surgical approach, level inter body fusion required, correction sagittal im...

Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital defect which may be characterized by a variety of anomalies each with a huge variability of degree. Its multimalformative aspect represents a challenging condition for the surgeon. Multidisciplinary team is often required. Surgical timing for correcting each defect should be planned from the beginning in order to avoid functional problems and to reduce th...

Introduction The QUEST trials are the first surgical trials comparing different types (A) and timing (B) of Latissimus dorsi (LD) reconstruction with a primary outcome of quality of life (QoL) in an attempt to improve clinical evidence. Surgical trials are challenging, necessitating a feasibility study, and the QUEST Perspectives Study (QPS), to assess the acceptability of randomisation from th...

Interrupted aortic arch with an aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital entity that is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in premature low-birth-weight infants, and the proper timing of surgical correction remains a matter of debate. We present the case of a premature infant weighing 1.6 kg who successfully underwent one stage surgical repair to treat interrupted aortic...

Like the biological clock in the body, replication of each cell type (even different cells of the same organism) follows a timing program. Abnormal function of this timer could be an alarm for a disease like cancer. DNA replication starts from a specific point on the chromosome that is called the origin of replication. In contrast to prokaryotes in which DNA replication starts from a single ...

Ocular penetrating injury with Intraocular Foreign Body (IOFB) is a common form of ocular injury. Several techniques to remove IOFB have been reported by different authors. The aim of this publication is to review different timing and surgical techniques related to the extraction of IOFB. Material and Methods. A PubMed search on "Extraction of Intraocular Foreign Body," "Timing for Surgery Intr...
