Abstract Introduction The present systematic review compared arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) and latissimus dorsi transfer (ALDT) for the management of massive irreparable rotator cuff lesions. Sources of data We performed a systematic review searching the literature on Medline, Cochrane and Scopus databases, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Areas of agreement We included a total of 20 articles, 10 on ASCR and 10 on ALDT (12 retrospective and 8 prospective studies), all published between 2013 and 2019. Areas of controversy ASCR and ALDT are technical demanding procedures. When compared to each other, they do not produce significantly different improvements in clinical outcome. Growing points Both ASCR and ALDT are valid options for surgical management of MIRCLs. Although ALDT has shown a greater complication rate and a less improvement in acromion-humeral distance, its clinical outcomes overlap those obtained with ASCR. Areas timely for developing research Further comparative prospective and retrospective studies with longer follow-up could confirm which surgical procedure can lead to better outcomes with a lower complication rate.

Background: Interposition grafting (IG), also called bridging grafting, and superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) are the most commonly used joint-preserving surgical methods for irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs). Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of IG versus SCR to treat patients with irreparable RCTs. Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A literature search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus. Included in this review were clinical studies evaluating the effect of IG or SCR in patients with irreparable RCTs with a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Various clinical results from the studies were extracted and compared between IG and SCR, and among them, the results of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, graft retear rate, and complication rate were included in the meta-analysis. Results: Of 1638 identified articles, 17 (10 studies of IG involving 321 patients and 7 studies of SCR involving 357 patients) were selected. Both surgical methods showed significantly improved clinical outcomes in all but 1 study; however, the IG group had lower pain visual analog scale score, higher Constant score, and bigger active forward flexion and internal rotation compared with the SCR group (all P < .001). The meta-analysis showed no difference in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score between groups ( P = .44), but showed a significantly lower complication rate in the IG group compared with the SCR group (1.12% vs 8.37%, respectively; P < .001). The graft retear rate was not significantly different between groups (IG = 10.64% vs SCR = 12.67%; P = .79). The meta-analysis of graft type indicated no difference between groups in retear rate (autograft: 95% CI, 0.045-0.601; I2 = 93.28 [IG], 91.27 [SCR]; P = .22; allograft: 95% CI, 0.041-0.216; I2 = 80.39 [IG], 69.12 [SCR]; P = .64) or complication rate (autograft: 95% CI, 0.009-0.150; I2 = 0 [IG], 65.89 [SCR]; P = .25; allograft: 95% CI, 0.012-0.081; I2 = 0 [IG], 30.62 [SCR]; P = .09). Conclusion: Both IG and SCR techniques resulted in improvement in patients with irreparable RCTs. Meta-analysis showed a lower complication rate in the IG group; however, the lack of randomized studies limited our conclusions.


Conventional surgery with a lower complication rate is recommended in cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Conventional retinal detachment surgery is still an appropriate technique for the treatment of most of the cases with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment even today. The main steps of the conventional retinal detachment surgeries are cryopexy, scleral buckling, encircling, and removal of subretinal fluid. Successful results have been reported in this surgical method in uncomplicated cases. This review mentions about the conventional detachment surgery in the main aspects.

Objectives: To provide a standardised report of complications after retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (rLRN) in a high-volume centre using Clavien-Dindo classification. Materials and methods: We analysed records maintained in a prospective database of 330 consecutive patients that underwent rLRN between March 1995 and September 2016. All complications were graded according to the modified Clavien-Dindo classification. Three generations of surgeons were defined and the learning curve in rLRN was evaluated by comparing the first 100 cases (Group A) performed by firstgeneration surgeons with the last 100 cases (Group B) by thirdgeneration surgeons. Results: The mean age of our cohort was 66 ± 11.9 years. The overall complication rate was 19.7%. The majority of complications (12.7%) were Clavien 1 (5.1%) and Clavien 2 (7.6%) and did not require any interventions; blood transfusion was the most frequently encountered intervention (4.8%). Half of which were because of major intraoperative bleeding. Mortality rate was 0.9%. We found a trend towards lower complication rate in group B (19%) compared to group A (23%); this was mainly because of the reduction in the incidence of Clavien 1 and 2 complications. The pathological stage varied significantly in the two groups while the rate of negative surgical margins was comparable. Conclusions: rLRN is a safe procedure with an acceptable rate of complications. The learning curve was shorter for the thirdgeneration surgeons (group B); although these surgeons operated on a significantly higher number of patients with more advanced diseases. The Clavien-Dindo classification is suitable for assessing rLRN complications. Adopting this standardised system can help in the evaluation and comparison of surgical quality of LRN series.
