Background: Quadrilateral space syndrome is a painful disorder of the shoulder caused by static or dynamic entrapment of the axillary nerve and the posterior humeral circumflex artery. It was first described in 1983; however, it is an uncommon syndrome that initially presents with nonspecific shoulder pain or selective deltoid atrophy, and diagnosis is often delayed owing to its rarity. Young athletes of overhead sports are more commonly affected by this syndrome.

Background: Type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis is characterized by multiple or segmental strictures of the main pancreatic duct without upstream dilatation. We encountered a case of mass-forming type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis with upstream main pancreatic duct dilatation that was difficult to diagnose preoperatively using endoscopic ultrasound sonography-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology.
Case Presentation: A 58-year-old Japanese man presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis secondary to a 10-mm pancreatic head tumor.

Objective: To compare the perioperative analgesic effect and safety of ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal (EOI) block versus oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane (OSTAP) block in patients receiving laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on sixty patients who underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2022 to September 2022. Patients were divided into the EOI block group and the OSTAP block group according to the random number table, with 30 patients in each group.

Fibroadenomas are benign breast tumors, typically affecting middle-aged women, with rapid growth in some cases leading to compression of surrounding structures and presenting a clinical challenge. This case illustrates the successful use of thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) for excising a large fibroadenoma with characteristics suggestive of a phyllodes tumor, a procedure traditionally conducted under general anesthesia (GA).

Introduction: The simultaneous bilateral release of carpal tunnels still remains a non-unanimous practice. We prospectively studied the contribution of ultrasound-guided surgery coupled with Walant anaesthesia in the simultaneous release of both carpal tunnels.
Materials And Methods: Patients who presented bilateral clinical involvement confirmed by electromyogram were operated on in the operating room under Walant anaesthesia by minimally invasive knife section under ultrasound guidance.
