50% added improvement - WOW! CDT is the gold standard for lymphedema management and this study just confirmed that adding LYMPHA PRESS, U.S.A. therapy can make this treatment more effective. CDT is comprised of: 1- manual lymphatic drainage massage 2- compression wrapping / garments 3- skin care 4- exercise program and 5- self management program A number of studies and decades of anecdotal experience suggests that Intermittent pneumatic compression therapy (pumps) is an important tool that should be added to a successful home management program. https://lnkd.in/eFQaM_2r

I'm thrilled to share my latest case report, titled "Navigating the Challenges: A Case of Iatrogenic Cervical Esophageal Perforation Following Thyroid Surgery", now published in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports. This report discusses a rare but serious complication following thyroid surgery—iatrogenic cervical esophageal perforation (ICEP). It explores the successful management of this condition using surgical repair techniques, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for better outcomes.

Empowering Patient Care with Resourceful Solutions. The nasolabial flap is a versatile and cost-effective option, has shown remarkable success in various reconstructive scenarios. It emphasizes the principle that effective treatment doesn't always require the most expensive tools but rather innovative thinking and skilled execution. This flap's robust vascular supply and anatomical proximity make it an excellent choice for repairing defects after cancer surgery. These techniques highlight the importance of adaptability and resourcefulness in surgery. By optimizing available resources, we can achieve excellent outcomes and improve patient lives, regardless of the constraints we face. #ReconstructiveSurgery #NasolabialFlap #PoorMansFlap #PatientCare #SurgicalTechniques

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐍𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐂  Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are important treatments for patients with non-metastatic (stage I–III) NSCLC, especially for those eligible for surgery. Let’s take a quick look at key highlights of new treatment advances from the ESMO 2024 congress. #MIMS #nonmetastaticNSCLC #ESMO2024 #MIMSOncology #medicalcongress #HCPs

People with a form of lung cancer could be set to benefit after NICE recommended a treatment which can be taken with chemotherapy before surgery and on its own after surgery. Find out more about Durvalumab: https://lnkd.in/ez3wHfCd

Hip Replacement Surgery Hip replacement can address hip pain and stiffness for people with arthritis, avascular necrosis or other forms of hip joint damage. During a hip replacement surgery, an orthopaedic surgeon replaces both ends or one end of the damaged hip joint with artificial parts. There are various surgical approaches to hip replacement surgery, including minimally invasive options that may be appropriate for some patients. Recovery and rehabilitation help you restore mobility and return to activities with less pain.

Cancer therapy has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade. Promising survival data are shared almost daily, but another perspective and question would be on the survivors' quality of life. Living longer should also be better and not just merely surviving, no? #ncds #cancertherapy #targetedtherapy #immunotherapy #nsclc

A message from our sponsor, Lympha Press. A study published in Lymphology, https://lnkd.in/d3giTEFt, New Clinical Insights: Improving Outcomes Before Lymphatic Surgery with Decongestive Therapy and Pneumatic Compression, evaluated the impact of adding intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) to complete decongestive therapy (CDT) for reducing limb volume in lower extremity lymphedema patients before lymphatic surgery.

Recurrence Patterns of Advanced Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck DOI: 10.1002/ohn.851 http://otojournal.org Patients who underwent surgery for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck staged T2b and T3 from 2003 to 2023 - 183 patients - 56(30.6%) experienced recurrence - Local recurrence in 21 (11.5%) - Regional in 21 (13.3%) - Distant in 11 (6%) - The majority of regional and distant recurrences occurred within 1 year of surgery - The majority of disease recurrence occurs in the first 1 to 2 years following surgical excision of advanced-stage cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Bariatric surgery before TKA is beneficial in terms of a lower risk of VTE, stroke, and periprosthetic fracture. Surgeons consider discussing bariatric surgery before TKA in obese patients, especially those who are at risk of VTE and stroke. https://lnkd.in/gkY8FbF3
