Neuroendocrine tumors (NENs) originate from neuroendocrine cells and predominantly occur in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and pancreas. Although the liver is commonly involved in NEN metastasis, primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are rare. Herein, we report a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with slowly enlarging, cystic, multiple PHNETs.

The spindle cell tumor is a variant of sarcomatoid carcinoma that mostly affects the oral cavity. Bone involvement in this tumor leads to a wide excision, which sometimes requires resection of both the maxilla and mandible. The maxilla and mandible are important bones that function to form the 3-dimensional dimensions of the facial bones.

Adult spinal deformity (ASD) with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) often requires vertebral body resection and replacement. However, postoperative mechanical complications (MC) have been unsolved issues. This study retrospectively investigated the risk of MC following anterior-posterior spinal fusion (APF) with vertebral body resection and replacement for OVF with ASD.

In glioma surgery, maximizing the extent of resection while preserving cognitive functions requires an understanding of the unique architecture of the white matter (WM) pathways of the single patient and of their spatial relationship with the tumor. Tractography enables the reconstruction of WM pathways, and bundle segmentation allows the identification of critical connections for functional preservation. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a streamline-based approach for bundle segmentation on a clinical dataset as compared to the traditional ROI-based approach.

Objective: Uniportal full-endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (FE-TLIF) carries a unique risk of nerve traction and abrasion injury during cage insertion. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the GUARD technique and delayed ligamentum flavectomy in reducing postoperative radicular pain and neurapraxia in patients undergoing uniportal FE-TLIF.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 45 patients with an average age of 53.
