Pectus excavatum (PE) is a malformation in which the cartilage does not develop properly and therefore causes subsidence and is more predominant in men. Therefore, they are of congenital origin associated with the consequences of the development of the thoracic cage belonging to type one, these being cartilaginous (1-4). Likewise, the diagnostic method used is magnetic resonance, which through an image allows visualizing the anatomy in detail (5). Thus, the first surgical procedure was published by Dr. Mark Mitchell Ravich in 1994 (6) and later a minimally invasive procedure was created in 1998 by Dr. Donald Nuss (7). Aim. Know the current situation of surgical procedures for pectus excavatum Materials and methods. The databases that were used were: Researchgate, Refseek, Scielo, Pubmed, Secipe, Springer Link, Oxford Academic, Science Direct, Electronic Base of Medical Portals, Electronic Health Research Base, and the Google Scholar Reservoir Result: Surgery de Nuss has been the fundamental basis for carrying out different modifications due to the flexibility of the ribcage or, on the contrary, the creation of innovative surgical techniques and lighter and more resistant sternal materials that provide the patient with other treatment options. Conclusion: Recent surgical procedures to repair the anomaly are good options that provide aesthetic, functional, and functional aesthetic results that generate confidence and safety in the patientItem Análisis comparativo del tratamiento percutáneo vs cirugía convencional de la insuficiencia mitral: Estado del arte(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Castillo Marmolejo, Nicole Andrea; Leyton Erazo, Maryi Tatiana; López López, María NelaIntroduction: The most common valvular disorders affecting the structure of the heart is mitral insufficiency (MI), which is defined by backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during ventricular contraction caused by damage to the valve leaflets. For this reason, two major groups can be described according to their etiology: primary mitral valve disease (PMV) and secondary mitral valve disease (SMV). Objective. To compare percutaneous MitraClip® vs surgical treatment of MI (1). Materials and Methods. A state of the art review was performed using databases: SAGE JOURNALS, ScienceDirect and Taylor&Francis Online, articles published between 2017 and 2022. Results. The benefits of MV repair by conventional technique allow greater success if the intervention is early, and percutaneous repair is safe, effective and feasible in patients considered inoperable, providing improved long-term quality of life. However, these treatments are not free of complications, the most frequent in conventional surgery being postoperative pain and prolonged hospitalization times, and the MitraClip® device, despite being a minimally invasive procedure, presents detachment of the clip and stroke. Conclusions. Currently, MI has proven to be the most common valvular heart disease in the aging population, due to the comorbidities that are present. This valvulopathy is attracting increasing interest in the medical community, based on current evidence percutaneous and conventional MV repair techniques offer a treatment alternative depending on anatomical criteriaItem Eficacia de las técnicas con láser verde y holmium para la hiperplasia benignaprostática.

Una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) López Ronderos, Laura Camila; Loaiza Gaviria, Natalia; Zúñiga Benavides, Laura Marcela; Lamprea Garcia,Angelica VivianaIntroduction: Phalloplasty is a reconstructive surgery that constructs a phallus (penis) for patients with gender dysphoria. Phalloplasty seeks to create a phallus that reaches three objectives: standing up to urinate, tactile properties, and erogenous properties. However, the deficit of this surgery creates challenges in patient decision-making (1). Objective: To analyze phalloplasty as a surgical treatment option for patients with gender identity dysphoria. Materials and methods: A search for updated articles was carried out, these are scientific and endorsed documents, published in the following databases: Google Scholar (n=5), Pubmed (n=20), Scielo (n=2), ScienceDirect (n=28), Springer (n=15), obtaining a total of 70 studies. Of which 50 articles were included for the bibliographic review. Results: Phalloplasty is a surgery highlighted by the increase in cases of patients with gender dysphoria. This surgery has not been categorized as standard in terms of creating an aesthetic phallus, due to its high complexity. Specialists frequently use the free forearm flap (RFFF) for its tissue formation capacity and its reliable neurovascular anatomy. However, its disadvantage is the visibility of the donor site. Therefore, the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is often used, which is easy to hide the donor site. Of course, There are complications such as bleeding, graft infections, urological problems such as urethral strictures, fistulas. Conclusions: Gender incongruity is an affectation that every day produces alarm due to its psychological, social, and physiological repercussions. For this reason, it is important to continue searching for a surgical technique for gender dysphoria and achieve an aesthetic, functional phallus with fewer intraoperative and postoperative complicationsItem Laparoscopia con sistema óptico 3d un enfoque innovador para cirugía urológica: Una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Ibáñez Benítez, Danna Valentina; Miranda Labrada, María Camila; Muñoz Imbachi, Ángela PaolaIntroduction: The innovation in surgery has brought benefits to both surgeons and patients.
