Objective: To investigate the feasibility of endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation in order to minimize the bleeding and tissue injury.
Methods: Since 2005, 27 patients underwent endoscope assisted transaxillary subglandular breast augmentation. Intraoperative bleeding and dissection injury were markedly decreased.
Results: There was no hematoma, seroma and infection except for one case with partial poor incision healing. 16 cases were followed-up for six months to one year. Only one case developed fibrous capsular contracture (Baker II). Good results achieved in all the other cases.
Conclusions: Endoscope assisted breast augmentation can reduce the pain, bleeding and tissue injury. It can also help to put implants to right position.

Background: Breast morphology is the primary objective indicator for evaluating the outcome of augmentation surgery. Studies have indicated that breast morphology undergoes certain changes during the early postoperative period, which may result in a discrepancy between postoperative outcomes and preoperative design. This study utilized three-dimensional scanning technology and statistical methods to analyze the influencing factors of breast morphology changes, aiming to provide reference for implant selection and preoperative surgical planning.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a rare condition resulting from the compression of the brachial plexus and/or the subclavian vessels in the thoracic outlet (TO). Neurogenic TOS (NTOS) is the most common form in up to 95% of the cases, while venous TOS (VTOS) occurs in 3-5% and arterial TOS (ATOS) in 1-2% of the cases. Patients may suffer from the pathologic coexistence of arterio-venous compression in the TO called arterio-venous TOS (AVTOS) with an overlap of clinical symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) involves compression of nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet and can be treated by first rib resection, particularly using a minimally invasive technique called video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
- A study analyzed 29 patients who underwent VATS first rib resection for vascular TOS, tracking factors like hospital stay, complications, and symptom improvement.
- Results showed that the procedure had a mean recovery time of 2.7 days, a low rate of complications, and no symptom recurrence during an average follow-up of about 18 months, making VATS a safe and effective option for treating vascular TOS.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis of nTOS is complex because its symptoms overlap with other conditions, and while provocative tests are common, they can yield high false-positive rates; electrodiagnostic studies and imaging, such as MRI, are helpful for accurate diagnosis.
- * Treatment options for nTOS include lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medication, and possibly surgery; minimally invasive surgical techniques are gaining popularity for better recovery outcomes, and future research
