Single-incision transumbilical laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is safe, technically feasible, and reproducible.

In this preliminary study, the use of a lidocaine patch in the management of postoperative pain following laparoscopic ventral herniorraphy is a safe and promising modality to consider in the management of postoperative pain control.

The authors' scroll technique for laparoscopic repair is simple, feasible, and reproducible, with a short learning curve and a low recurrence rate.

Caudal resection of the ULC has a measurable effect on the upward rotation of the nasal tip. A 20% resection correlates with an average change in the NLA of 2.6 degrees. Because caudal resection of the ULC is a powerful tool in the armamentarium of the rhinoplasty surgeon that can cause narrowing of the internal nasal valve and hallowing of the lower nasal sidewalls, it should be used with caution in a selected group of patients when attempting to elevate the "droopy" tip.
