Carbon fiber composites (CFRPs) are prone to impact loads during their production, transportation, and service life. These impacts can induce microscopic damage that is always undetectable to the naked eye, thereby posing a significant safety risk to the structural integrity of CFRP structures. In this study, we developed an impact localization system for CFRP structures using extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) sensors.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 35 obese patients who underwent vNOTES for benign ovarian tumor resection and 41 obese patients who underwent multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) during the same period from January 2021 to June 2024 at Qinghai Red Cross Hospital. Key parameters such as operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative complications, hospitalization duration, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score, and SF-36 score were analyzed.
