Evaluating the Use of a 3D Exoscope to Improve Ergonomics in Cleft Surgery.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J
January 2025
Birmingham Childrens Hospital, Birmingham, UK.
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.

Background: This study was designed to compare the effectiveness of manual therapy alone and a combination of it and TECAR (Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapies on the conditions of pain, disability, and neck range of motion (ROM) in patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (NCNP).
Methods: In this Randomized controlled study, 30 women with non-specific chronic neck pain were randomly divided into two groups: Manual therapy along with TECAR therapy (intervention group) and single manual therapy (control group). The participants were homogenized in terms of age, height, and weight.
The effect of unilateral endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy on swallowing in cases of bilateral vocal fold palsy.
Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
February 2025
Objective: Endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy (EAAL) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the immediate management of bilateral vocal fold palsy (BVFP). Specifically, it achieves a stable and adequate airway by lateralizing the arytenoid cartilage without resecting laryngeal structures. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of EAAL on swallowing in cases of BVFP.

This study involved 88 participants completing 1860 sets of experiments under three conditions: sitting still, turning the head, and moving, providing subjective evaluations of wearing HMDs. A static torque testing device was used to simulate neck torque under flexion states.

Neurospine
December 2024
Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Objective: To analyze the predictive factors for neck pain and cervical spine function after laminoplasty for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) using K-means for longitudinal data (KML).
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we collected clinical and radiographic data from patients with DCM who underwent cervical laminoplasty. A novel index of surgical outcome, "neck function," which comprises neck pain and cervical spine function according to the Japanese Orthopedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire, was proposed.
