Purpose: To examine the feasibility of an automated 2-dimensional (2D) to 3- dimensional (3D) image registration system to simplify the navigational challenges faced in complex endovascular aortic procedures.
Methods: An automated 2D-3D image registration system was used to overlay pre-acquired 3D computed tomography images onto fluoroscopy images taken during endovascular aneurysm repair. Errors between the 3D overlay and digital subtraction angiograms were measured and correlated with aortic neck angulation. A mean discrepancy < or =3 mm was considered clinically acceptable.
Results: There was a strong correlation between maximum neck angulation and maximum registration error (Pearson's r = 0.75). Aortas with a maximum neck angulation < or =30 degrees had a mean error of 2.5+/-1.2 mm, whereas aortas with neck angulation >30 degrees had a mean error of 6.2+/-2.5 mm (p<0.0001).
Conclusion: The major source of registration errors is aortic deformation caused by the presence of the introducer and endovascular graft. Further work is required if this technology is to be routinely applied to severely angulated aortic anatomy.

Introduction: Numerous orthopaedic procedures including dynamic hip screw plating and various osteotomies require placement of a reference guide pin or K wire to direct bone cuts or for drilling screw holes. Appropriate positioning of these wires is a critical component of surgery. Irrespective of whether one is a seasoned surgeon or an apprentice, these wires often need repositioning and readjustment.

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the technical feasibility, ergonomics, and educational value of the 3D exoscope in comparison with traditional and prism loupes in cleft surgery. A variety of cleft and pharyngeal operations were performed with the VITOM 3D exoscope (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany), traditional/prism loupes, and microscope. The cervical neck angulation of the operating surgeon was recorded in real-time with an inertia measurement unit system (Mbient, San Francisco, USA) and experiences of the surgeon and assistant were prospectively evaluated with 5-point Likert scales.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the risk factors for developing type I endoleak in patients undergoing elective endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
- A total of 105 patients were analyzed, dividing them into those who experienced endoleak (23) and those who did not (82), comparing demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups.
- High hostile neck index (HNI) was identified as a significant independent predictor of type I endoleak, with a specific cut-off value determined for predicting endoleak risk.
