Modified technical protocol for single-port laparoscopic appendectomy using needle-type grasping forceps for acute simple appendicitis: A case report.

Background: Because of the mild inflammatory status in acute uncomplicated appendicitis, our team developed a novel technical protocol for single-port laparoscopic appendectomy using needle-type grasping forceps (SLAN) and achieved positive clinical outcomes. However, the intraoperative procedure lacked stability and fluency due to a series of problems highlighted by the small incision design of the protocol (only 1 cm long). Therefore, there is a growing clinical demand to further optimize the SLAN protocol.

Nomogram for predicting prolonged postoperative ileus in colorectal cancer based on age and inflammatory markers.

To explore the relationship between inflammatory markers and prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI), and to establish a nomogram for predicting PPOI. The data of 229 patients were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors affecting the occurrence of PPOI.
