The top 30 most popular videos, by number of views, were identified and scored on the 6-point scale by three experienced consultants. After watching a training module on CVS rationale and criteria, 10 trainees, blinded to the consultants' assessment, were instructed to view the videos, score each criterion and answer the binary question \"Would you divide the cystic structures?\" by \"yes\" or \"no.\" <b>Results</b> An inadequate CVS was found in 30% of the included videos.

Inter-observer agreement between consultants and trainees ranged from minimal to moderate ( <i>k</i> = 0.07-0.60).

Even though medical management is the primary modality of treatment, 15% of the cases are refractory and require intervention for drainage. Pigtail catheterization is inefficient and results in a long duration of hospital stay. So, we conducted a prospective observational study to determine the efficacy and safety of drainage of large ALA using a wide bore 24 French (Fr) drain compared with a conventionally used 10 Fr pigtail catheter. <b>Materials and Methods</b> A single center prospective observational study was conducted over a period of 5 years and data of 122 patients was collected. After starting empirical medical therapy, patients underwent drainage of ALA with either a 10 French pigtail or a 24 Fr drain. The primary outcome variables were resolution of clinical symptoms such as fever and pain in abdomen, length of hospital stay, and resolution of abscess on imaging at day 3. Secondary outcome was complications related to the procedures. <b>Results</b> Data of 122 patients was collected. Males constituted a vast majority (96%) of the study population and the fifth decade was the most common age group involved. Alcoholics had a higher chance of developing a large ALA. Sixty-eight patients underwent drainage of the ALA using a 24 Fr drain which resulted in faster resolution of symptoms (2.4 vs. 5.1 days, <i>p</i> -value 0.033), a shorter duration of catheter in situ (6.4 vs. 13.2, <i>p</i> -value 0.011), and a faster drainage of ALA (residual volume at day 3; 177 vs. 212 mL, <i>p</i> -value 0.021). Twenty-eight patients had a biliary communication of which 26 required therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. <b>Conclusion</b> In patients with a large ALA, placement of a wide bore 24 Fr catheter hastens recovery of the patients when compared with drainage with a standard 10 Fr pigtail catheter.

Upper GI endoscopy showed a mass projecting into the lumen and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) confirmed a well-defined mass close to the lesser curvature on the posterior wall. An endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration suggested a diagnosis of GIST. After optimization, the patient was taken up for a laparoscopic transgastric resection of the GIST. The resected specimen measured 9.5 × 8.5 × 7.5 cm. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and was discharged by the fifth postoperative day. <b>Discussion</b> While traditionally, open surgery has been advocated for GISTs, for fear of spillage and peritoneal seeding, the role of minimal access surgery has been growing in recent years. The use of a transgastric approach avoids the potential complication of luminal stenosis following a wedge resection of a tumor close to the cardia. Because lymphadenectomies are rarely required and local invasion is uncommon, a wide local resection is usually curative.

However, it is limited by its long operative and recovery times, the need for a second surgical site, and its outcomes that can sometimes show midfacial bulk and oral commissure malposition. Facial reanimation with lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM)-Labbé technique- carries the advantage of having a shorter surgical time, a faster recovery, and being a less invasive surgery. Almost all patients included in studies of LTM were evaluated by subjective methods, and very little quantifiable data was available. A 64-year-old woman presented with long-standing incomplete right facial palsy secondary to acoustic neuroma surgery. Since she was overweight (body mass index [BMI]: 43.9) and had several cardiovascular comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia), she was not a good candidate for gracilis free muscle transfer. She was submitted to facial reanimation with LTM. Fourteen months after surgery, she presented excellent facial symmetry, both at rest and in contraction, while smiling. She was evaluated with the Facegram-3D, a technology that we have developed for dynamic evaluation of facial muscle contraction. The analysis showed symmetry at rest and contraction, according to Terzis and Noah. Regarding vertical and horizontal displacement, the postoperative movement was synchronized and with less fluctuations when compared with the preoperative period. Notably, the anatomical pair's trajectories were smoother. Similar velocity profiles were found between anatomical pairs, with less abrupt changes in velocity values, further supporting improved movement control. Comparing the symmetry index, which takes a theoretical maximum of 1.0 for perfect 3D symmetry, its value was 0.56 for the commissures and 0.5 for the midpoints in the preoperative period, having improved to 0.91 and 0.82, respectively, 3 months postoperatively. Good aesthetic and functional results were achieved using the Labbè technique. LTM is a good option in cases of long-standing facial paralysis, if the patient desires a single-stage procedure with almost immediate dynamic function.
