Telerobotic Versus Standard Ultrasound in the Assessment of the Abdomen and Pelvis: A Real-World Prospective Study.

Telerobotic ultrasound has emerged as a promising technology in medicine, especially in settings with limited medical access or a lack of specialized personnel. However, there are very few studies evaluating its usefulness in real-world clinical practice. This study evaluates the usefulness of abdominopelvic telerobotic ultrasound in a real-world practice setting.

Primary staging of rectal cancer on MRI: an updated pictorial review with focus on common pitfalls and current controversies.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in primary staging of rectal cancer, enabling the determination of appropriate management strategies and prediction of patient outcomes. However, inconsistencies and pitfalls exist in various aspects, including rectal anatomy, MRI protocols and strategies for artifact resolution, as well as in T- and N-staging, all of which limit the diagnostic value of MRI. This narrative and pictorial review offers a comprehensive overview of factors influencing primary staging of rectal cancer and the role of MRI in assessing them.

Botulinum toxin A (IncobotulinumtoxinA) and pneumoperitoneum image-guided for hernia repair with loss of dominance.

Post-incisional ventral hernia is estimated at 5-30%, when the content of the abdominal cavity migrates to the hernial sac (HSV), with a HSV/abdominal cavity volume ratio > 25%, conditioning systemic changes defined as "loss of domain". A 27-year-old male presented with ventral hernia with loss of domain that required pre-operative preparation techniques, using application of botulinum toxin A (IncobotulinumtoxinA) and pneumoperitoneum, both guided by image. A ventral plasty was performed with adequate return of the viscera to the abdominal cavity.
