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.
