Delve into the latest findings from the November issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the ASPS, exploring the nuanced relationship between previous bariatric surgery, body contouring and long-term weight regain. The findings shed light on the importance of understanding long-term outcomes rather than focusing on maximum weight loss. Curious to learn more?

GelPort Research Extracts part 3 “HALS was used preferentially for complex colectomies. HALS effectively bridges the complexity divide between minimal access and open procedures.” Cima et al., 2008 “We report the largest meta-analysis of HALS renal surgery to date. When compared with open surgery, HALS allows for a significant decrease in EBL [estimated blood loss] and LOS [length of stay]. Compared with laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, HALS resulted in a significant decrease in blood loss, OR time, and WIT [warm ischemia time]."

Minimally invasive spine surgery requires extensive training and experience to master the use of the tools, but there is a tremendous benefit for the patient. “The incision is shorter, which means you aren’t cutting through as much muscle and tissue to get access to the damaged area of the spine,” explains Dr. James Lynch. While approximately 80% of adults will suffer from back or neck pain in their lifetime, most will not need spine surgery. If non-surgical treatments fail to provide lasting relief, choosing a spine surgeon experienced in the latest surgical techniques and technologies is essential. https://lnkd.in/gi4d_mxQ #spinesurgeon #spinesurgery #spineneurosurgery #spineneurosurgeon #reno #carsoncity #nevada #backpain #neckpain #outpatientspinesurgery #minimallyinvasivespinesurgery #spinalstenosis

Endoscopic spine surgery results in much smaller incisions, less muscle damage and scar tissue, and shorter hospital stays and recovery times.

Corrective eye surgery patients should be at least 18 years old AND have had a stable prescription for 1-2 years. To ensure optimal results, and that the patient is not required to have more corrective eye surgery procedures than necessary, it's important to wait for the eyeball to be fully developed and for their prescription to no longer be evolving.
