Background: Tissue handling is one of the pivotal parts of surgical procedures. We aimed to elucidate the characteristics of experts' left-hand during laparoscopic tissue dissection.

Methods: Participants performed tissue dissection around the porcine aorta.

Background: Morphine is effective in palliative care for patients with end-stage heart failure; however, its use is avoided in patients with impaired renal function because it tends to induce adverse effects. Although oxycodone has been reported to be a useful alternative, the evidence is insufficient. Therefore, we investigated the safety and efficacy of oxycodone in eight patients with end-stage heart failure complicated by chronic kidney disease.

Purpose: Our aim was to develop practical training for laparoscopic surgery using Thielembalmed cadavers. Furthermore, in order to verbalize experts' motion characteristics and provide objective feedback to trainees, we initiated motion capture analyses of multiple surgical instruments simultaneously during the cadaveric trainings. In the present study, we report our preliminary results.

Article Synopsis
  • Lifebuoy cataract is an uncommon congenital condition that leads to lens thinning, and this study aims to address the limited knowledge and treatment options available through detailed case reports and surgical techniques.
  • A 14-year-old boy with a history of untreated congenital cataract experienced worsening vision, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by various examinations, including slit-lamp microscopy and optical coherence tomography.
  • The surgical intervention involved a careful cataract surgery, highlighting techniques to handle complications like central calcification and residual opacification, although posterior capsulotomy was avoided due to risk of vitreous prolapse.

We compared the posterior capsule opacification incidences at 5 years postoperatively and the neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet capsulotomy rates at 10 years postoperatively for two types of intraocular lenses with different optical properties and shapes. This randomized, controlled, prospective, single-blinded study with intra-individual comparisons was conducted between July 21, 2009, and August 31, 2011, at the Dokkyo Medical University Hospital, Tochigi, Japan. Thirty patients (60 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery and received a XY1 intraocular lens in one eye and a FY-60AD intraocular lens in the other.
