Herniation of the anterior lens capsule is a rare abnormality in which the capsule bulges forward in the pupillary area. This herniation can be mistaken for an anterior lenticonus where both the capsule and the cortex bulge forward. The exact pathology behind this finding is still unclear. We report the clinical, ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and histopathological findings of a case of herniation of the anterior lens capsule. UBM helped to differentiate this entity from anterior lenticonus. Light microscopy revealed capsular splitting suggestive of capsular delamination and collection of fluid (aqueous) in the area of herniation giving it a characteristic appearance.

Internal hernia following colorectal surgery is an uncommon but serious complication. Most reported cases have involved hernias resulting from mesenteric defects after left-sided colon resection. We herein report a case of laparoscopic repair of an internal hernia at the pelvic floor following low anterior resection.

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neurological disorder characterized by degenerative changes in the spinal cord and compression of the spinal cord and its adjacent structures due to various reasons, such as intervertebral disc herniation. The Japan Orthopaedic Association score is a disease-specific outcome tool that provides quantitative measurements for CSM patients. At present, no scholars have developed a model that can directly predict the prognosis of CSM patients.

The application value of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute large-vessel occlusion cerebral infarction has been confirmed, but considering the poor prognosis of large-core infarction (LCI), the current guidelines and practices are based on anterior circulation small-core infarction. Reducing the perioperative complications of thrombectomy in LCIs is the key to saving more patients previously considered unsuitable for thrombectomy. Patients with acute anterior circulation cerebral infarction who were admitted to Suining Central Hospital of Sichuan Province from January 2022 to December 2023 and whose Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score value was 3-5 (the score range was 0-10, and the lower the score was, the larger the infarct area) or whose infarct core volume was ≥70 mL and who received MT were enrolled consecutively.

Objective: To explore feasibility, clinical and imaging outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) for single level large lumbar disc herniation(LDH).
Methods: From October 2018 to March 2023, 31 patients with single level LDH treated with PEID were retrospectively analyzed. Among patients, including 18 males and 13 females, aged from 15 to 40 years old with an average of (28.
Anterior Gastropexy for Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Cleveland Clinic Center for Abdominal Core Health, Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease and Surgery Institute, The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio.
Importance: Paraesophageal hernias can cause severe limitations in quality of life and life-threatening complications. Even though minimally invasive paraesophageal hernia repair (MIS-PEHR) is safe and effective, anatomic recurrence rates remain notoriously high. Retrospective data suggest that suturing the stomach to the anterior abdominal wall after repair-an anterior gastropexy-may reduce recurrence, but this adjunct is currently not the standard of care.
