Virtual 3D models, augmented reality systems and virtual laparoscopic simulations in complicated pancreatic surgeries: state of art, future perspectives, and challenges.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Virgen del Rocio University Hospital, Seville, Spain.
Pancreatic surgery is considered one of the most challenging interventions by many surgeons, mainly due to retroperitoneal location and proximity to key and delicate vascular structures. These factors make pancreatic resection a demanding procedure, with successful rates far from optimal and frequent postoperative complications. Surgical planning is essential to improve patient outcomes, and in this regard, many technological advances made in the last few years have proven to be extremely useful in medical fields.

Vascular Assessment and Management Service, Department of Anaesthesia and Pain, Queensland Children's Hospital, Children's Health Queensland Hospital and Health Service, Queensland, Australia.
Importance: Pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion can be difficult and time-consuming, frequently requiring multiple insertion attempts and often resulting in increased anxiety, distress, and treatment avoidance among children and their families. Ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion is a superior alternative to standard technique (palpation and visualization) in high-risk patients.
Objective: To compare first-time insertion success of PIVCs inserted with ultrasound guidance compared with standard technique (palpation and visualization) across all risk categories in the general pediatric hospital population.
The Potential of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Treating Spinal Cord Injury.
Curr Pain Headache Rep
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, Chicago, IL, 60657, USA.
Purpose Of The Review: In the United States, spinal cord injuries affect approximately 18,000 individuals annually, most commonly resulting from mechanical trauma. The consequent paraplegia severely impairs motor functions, creating an urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies that extend beyond traditional rehabilitation and pharmacotherapy. This review assesses the effectiveness of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in improving motor function in patients with spinal cord injuries, with a particular focus on paraplegia.

Endocrine surgery in multimorbid, frail and geriatric patients is increasing, is often urgent and characterized by special risk constellations. Successful parathyroid gland surgery nearly always results in a marked improvement, irrespective of the specific risk profile of the patient. Except for critical intubation and mediastinal interventions in the risk profile, surgery of the thyroid glands is predominantly beneficial and justifiable even in frail patients.

Purpose: To compare the erectile and urinary functions of ventral and dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty in the management of proximal bulbar urethral strictures (PBUS) in sexually active men.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively included patients with primary non-traumatic PBUS who were treated with (BMG) urethroplasty at our department between March 2019 and March 2023 either ventral or dorsal approaches. Patients were assessed at 3- and 12-months postoperatively for urinary and erectile functions.
