Numerous foreign bodies, such as surgical gauze, pads and instruments, and other items, have been left behind in the abdominal cavity during open surgeries. These have been traditionally removed at redo open surgeries. Here we describe a case of an artery forceps left behind at a previous surgery (open cholecystectomy and appendicectomy) performed 5 years earlier that was removed by laparoscopy.

Although many institutions increasingly perform endovascular coiling instead of microsurgical clipping as the primary treatment for ruptured aneurysms, there remains ongoing debate regarding the optimal treatment strategy for ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Therefore, we compared the outcomes of clipping and coiling for treating ruptured MCA aneurysms. A total of 155 ruptured MCA aneurysms that were deemed eligible for both clipping and coiling were retrospectively reviewed.

Background: The Focused Sylvian Approach (FSA) is a refined, minimally invasive technique for clipping small to medium-sized middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms, prioritizing safety and aesthetics.
Method: The craniotomy remains confined to the superior temporal line, with the incision concealed within the temporal muscle. The Sylvian fissure is carefully dissected to preserve venous structures.

Robot-assisted surgery represents a significant innovation in reconstructive microsurgery, providing enhanced precision and reduced surgeon fatigue. This study examines the integration of robotic assistance in a series of 85 consecutive robot-assisted microsurgical (RAMS) operations. It aims to evaluate changes in the integration of RAMS during the implementation phase in a single institution.

Here we presented the initial experience of clipping aneurysms using fully endoscopic techniques and aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of fully endoscopic techniques for aneurysms. This was a retrospective single-center study in which patients were scheduled to undergo aneurysm clipping using fully endoscopic techniques. We collected patients' records, radiological neuroimaging, aneurysm-related variables and surgical procedures in detail, as well as postoperative outcomes.

Background And Aims: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is recommended for refractory peptic ulcer bleeding. There are 46% of patients showed no detectable contrast extravasation during TAE. Endoscopic clip in bleeding lesion is visible and could be used as a marker in TAE.
