Three-year experience in the Emergency Department: the approach to patients with spinal trauma and their prognosis.
Spinal cord injuries result in critical pecuniary and/or non-pecuniary losses due to the developing neurological problems. The objective of this study was to evaluate spinal injuries in terms of clinical severity and prognosis. Spinal injuries lead to serious clinical results due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality; however, there is a lack of reliable information on spinal injuries in our country. ⋯ Spinal cord injuries generally result in unfavorable clinical results. Therefore, an appropriate approach (early diagnosis and true treatment) in emergency services has great significance.

The synergy between endoscopic assistance and extraoral approach in subcondylar fracture repair: a report of 13 cases.
We aimed to present the primary experience of one surgeon with a new surgical technique performed on the first 13 cases and to evaluate outcomes following an extraoral endoscopic approach to subcondylar fractures. ⋯ An extraoral endoscopic approach for subcondylar fractures is feasible and can be carried out with decreased morbidity. This approach is recommended for those with limited experience in endoscopy to treat low laterally displaced subcondylar fractures as their initial cases.
