AbstractIn the study two human skulls recovered from archaeological excavations at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Wrocław, dating from the 13-14th centuries were assessed. Direct measurements of each skull were recorded, and X-ray images in P-A, lateral and basal projections were taken. The skulls represented adult males. Large, bony, lobular tumours were found on the palatine bones of both skulls. X-ray examination identified these tumours as osteoid osteomas, which are benign bone tumours that may originate in the periosteum or may be located inside the bone, distorting the maxilla or mandible. However, osteoid osteoma of the palatine is very rare. This study extends our knowledge regarding the health and diseases of historical populations.

Introduction: The gold standard treatment for high risk upper tract urothelial cancers is radical nephroureterectomy. Little evidence exists specifically directed for octogenarians with this disease, therefore we highlight our centre’s outcomes and compare to current literature. Methods: Demographic, operative and postoperative data were collected on all octogenarian patients who underwent minimally invasive radical nephroureterectomy between 2010 and 2018 in a single centre. Outcomes including intraoperative and postoperative complications, disease recurrence rates and survival data were analysed. A literature search was performed, with six included articles of cases series and retrospective cohort studies after screening of full manuscripts. Results: Twenty-three patients of average age 82.6 years (range 80–85) were included. Length of stay was median 10 days (range 5–53). Six patients (25%) had postoperative complications ranging from Clavien–Dindo classification 2–3. Eight patients were found to have recurrence, with median time to recurrence of 18 months. Of the 13 patients who died during a follow-up of median 38.4 months, five patients (22%) died of disease related to their original diagnosis (median survival 20 months). Conclusions: From this single centre case series results combined with a review of current literature, radical nephroureterectomy is safe for octogenarian patients for upper tract urothelial cancers when appropriately selected. Further work will need to be carried out to assess the role of lymphadenectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy in the older patient cohort. Level of evidence Level 4

Percutaneous cordotomy using CT guidance has been shown to be a safe and effective means of reducing pain in adults with cancer in 2 large case series. Its effectiveness in pediatric patients, however, has not been reported. Here, the authors present a case of CT-guided percutaneous cordotomy being used effectively for the treatment of unilateral limb pain in a 9-year-old boy suffering from metastatic medulloblastoma. The efficacy and minimally invasive nature of this procedure support its use in selected pediatric cases.

Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteogenic tumor affecting adolescents and young adults. It is managed using different treatment options. The lesions located around the lesser trochanter is rare and the management of these lesions is troublesome. Here, we report a case of an osteoid osteoma in the lesser trochanteric region, managed with a minimally invasive surgical excision of the lesion. Case Report: In a 14-year-old girl patient with nocturnal left thigh pain from 2 years before, conservative treatment with administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was not effective, and symptoms were refractory to medication. The day after surgery the patient was pain-free. Conclusion: The surgical management of osteoid osteoma in the region of the lesser trochanter is troublesome. The minimally invasive surgical excision of the lesion using CT-guided percutaneous drilling and resection of the osteoid osteoma is a safe, simple, cost-benefit, and effective technique.

Gummy smile is a characteristic in which the patient exposes more than 2 mm of keratinized gingiva in forced smile. With a multifactorial cause, its correct planning depends directly on the correct diagnosis. Usually, the procedures that involve manipulation and the enlargement of the aesthetical crown lengthening are surgical. The objective of this case series was to show the advantages of surgical crown augmentation surgery in aesthetic areas with minimally invasive techniques. Three cases of gummy smile were presented, with different treatment plans and techniques for execution. In the 3 cases, bone removal was performed with piezoelectric ultrasound, which made the postoperative more comfortable for patients. These cases illustrate the use of technology to reduce morbidity in patients who need to undergo bone removal to treat gingival smile.
