Microsurgical Lymphatic Reconstruction for Refractory Chylous Ascites in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Case Report and Literature Review

Ravikiran Naalla, MCh*; Srikant Aruna Samantaray, MCh; Sanjeev Patil, MS, DNB; Guduru Venkat Rao, MS, M**S, FRCS; Duvvur Nageshwar Reddy, MD, DM, DSc, FRCP

This article presents the first comprehensive review of refractory chylous ascites associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, analyzing 19 cases to propose an evidence-based therapeutic framework. It introduces lymphatic bypass surgery as an effective option for this rare complication, overcoming the limitations of conventional treatment. By integrating mechanical drainage, immunomodulation, and lymphangiogenesis, this approach achieves rapid and sustained resolution of ascites. The findings offer a novel surgical strategy for autoimmune lymphatic disorders and prompt a re-evaluation of their complex pathophysiology. This study demonstrates how surgical innovation can succeed where traditional therapies fail, offering new hope in managing refractory autoimmune disease.

NSD3::NUTM1 Fusion in Primary Parotid NUT Carcinoma: First Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

Dumindu Weerakkody, MD; Catherine Mitchell, MBBS, FRCPA; Marsali Newman, MBBS, FRCPA; Christopher McEvoy, PhD; Tian Gan, MD; Min Zhang, MD; Sally Ng, MBBS (Hons), FRACS*

This report presents the first documented case of parotid NUT carcinoma with an NSD3::NUTM1 fusion, characterized by rapid metastasis and patient death five weeks post-surgery. This outcome challenges prior reports suggesting favorable survival for non-thoracic NSD3::NUTM1 tumors, indicating potential parotid-specific aggression. By integrating 13 previously published cases with the current case, the article provides a comprehensive clinicopathological reference for this rare malignancy. While further validation is required, the findings advocate for targeted NUT immunohistochemistry and molecular profiling in undifferentiated parotid tumors. BET inhibitors show therapeutic potential, underscoring the need for early recognition and precision-based care.

Drainless Versus Drain-Based DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Postoperative Complications

Steven Christian*; Richard Christian Suteja; Giovanca Verentzia Purnama; Rafael Kurnia Pratama Tokan; Eduardo Kenjiro; Jerry Chen; Albert Salim; Gede Wara Samsarga

This systematic review and meta-analysis provide a pragmatic evaluation of drain-free versus drain-based DIEP flap techniques for breast reconstruction, challenging the traditional reliance on drainage. By analyzing postoperative outcomes, the study highlights the potential for refining surgical strategies to enhance patient comfort and recovery without compromising safety. The findings offer a neutral perspective, suggesting that clinical practice may not necessarily depend on the use of drains. This revelation prompts medical professionals to reassess existing surgical approaches and may catalyze a paradigm shift in postoperative care. Presented with clear narrative and rigorous data analysis, the article encourages readers to consider the broader implications of surgical innovations on patient care protocols.

Optimizing Dysphagia Management in Head and Neck Cancer Radiotherapy: Advanced Imaging, Precision Dosimetry, and Rehabilitation

Sayan Kundu*; Bitan Pramanik; Chandrani Mallik; Koustav Majumder; Amitabh Ray

This narrative review advances the management of radiation-induced dysphagia in head and neck cancer treatment by integrating advanced imaging, precision dosimetry, and structured rehabilitation. Beyond focusing solely on dysphagia-optimized intensity-modulated radiotherapy, it explores a variety of approaches: MRI and CT provide detailed anatomical insights, while proton therapy offers a less toxic alternative, and early rehabilitation preserves swallowing function. This holistic model prioritizes patient quality of life, detailing how techniques like Do-IMRT reduce radiation to critical structures like the pharyngeal constrictors and larynx, maintaining effectiveness. The review advocates a multidisciplinary approach, encouraging collaboration among oncologists, radiologists, and therapists to enhance long-term patient well-being and promoting further research to elevate care standards.

An ENT Physician’s Unexpected Encounter: Insights into Academic Stress Through a Clinical Case

Chin-Lung Kuo, MD, PhD

This editorial analyzes the extensive social and familial effects of rigorous educational demands in Taiwan, illustrated by a case study of a 45-year-old female music teacher with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Forced to skip her medical appointments due to her child's demanding academic schedule, the incident highlights the profound impact of intense educational routines on family life. It critiques the prioritization of academic achievement over well-being, which places undue stress on both children and parents, advocating for a reevaluation of the emphasis on scholastic success versus holistic development. The piece calls for educational reforms towards nurturing, developmentally appropriate strategies that support natural growth and foster a lifelong love for learning. It promotes innovative teaching approaches, early intervention, and strategic use of educational technology to enhance learning outcomes, urging systemic changes to better prepare students for today's complex world. Overall, this is a commendable editorial that offers valuable insights into the need for educational reform.

Hsin-Ying Lee, MD; Sung-Chuan Chao, MD, PhD*

This article presents an advanced surgical approach for treating malignant giant cell tumor of bone, emphasizing precision and ethical considerations. It leverages innovative pedicled flap technologies, as opposed to free flaps, enhancing limb functionality and patient quality of life. This technique equips surgeons with evidence that tailored surgical strategies can significantly improve outcomes in complex cases. The paper discusses technical challenges and highlights the application of supercharging and superdrainage techniques in limb reconstructions, methods well-established in microsurgery but infrequently used in oncological contexts. These techniques are crucial for optimizing flap viability and ensuring surgical success. Additionally, the manuscript underscores the profound impact of these advancements on patient lives, offering hope and showcasing tangible benefits. This narrative, blending scientific analysis with patient stories, enriches the understanding of limb reconstruction innovations in oncological surgery, making it invaluable for surgeons.

Impaired Wound Healing Associated With Fremanezumab Use Following Free Flap Breast Reconstruction: Case Report and Perioperative Management Implications

Stephanie E. Honig, MD; Sean S. Li, MD; Robyn B. Broach, PhD; Joseph M. Serletti, MD

This article presents a crucial case report on potential wound healing complications linked to fremanezumab, a calcitonin gene-related peptide-targeting antibody for migraine prevention. It documents the first known instance of delayed wound healing following a free flap breast reconstruction, underscoring the need for heightened clinical vigilance and individualized patient assessment in perioperative settings. Highlighting significant safety data gaps, the report advocates for comprehensive research and rigorous post-marketing surveillance. The findings emphasize the importance of balancing the risks of delayed wound healing with the need for effective disease control, especially when using biologic agents for chronic conditions. This article is essential for medical professionals managing patients on biologic therapies, offering critical insights and advocating for a personalized approach to optimize patient outcomes. By presenting novel observations and calling for further investigation, it serves as a vital resource for enhancing patient care and safety standards in the context of biologic treatments and surgical interventions.
