A 63-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of dysphagia. Endoscopy showed the patient had a mass in the cervical esophagus. Multiple biopsy specimens were taken, which were inconclusive for a diagnosis. A positron-emission tomography scan showed a hypermetabolic lesion. A transoral endoscopic approach was used to resect the tumor. Final histologic examination revealed a completely resected low-grade liposarcoma.

A Novel Technique for Nasopharyngeal Stenosis Repair: Combined Transoral Robotic and Endonasal Approaches for Enhanced Visualization and Surgical Precision.
J Neurol Surg Rep
January 2025
Intent Medical Group, Department of Neurosciences, Northwest Community Hospital, Part of Endeavor Health, Arlington Heights, Illinois, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Nasopharyngeal stenosis involves a narrowed area that causes issues like nasal congestion and breathing difficulties.
- A new surgical method using the Da Vinci Xi robot and a 70-degree nasal endoscope shows improved visualization and precision for treating type II stenosis.
- The technique also incorporates mitomycin C to reduce the chance of the condition returning, potentially leading to advancements in robotic procedures for related areas.
Anatomical limits of the parapharyngeal space using a transoral endoscopic approach - Radioanatomical study in cadaver.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Otorhinolaryngology Department, Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid, Valladolid, Spain.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to obtain the anatomical limits of the parapharyngeal space by transoral surgical approach, in order to objectively determine the types of lesions according to location, where this type of approach is more indicated.
Methods: A prospective, experimental, radio-anatomical study was performed on 10 cryopreserved human heads(20 sides). A transoral approach of the parapharyngeal space was performed determining its anatomical limits by CT navigation.
Therapeutic Management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)-Is There Something Between PPI and Fundoplication? An Overview.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Clinic Donaustadt, SMZ-Ost, Langobardenstrasse 122, A-1220 Vienna, Austria.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects millions globally, with traditional treatments like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and surgical fundoplication presenting challenges such as long-term medication dependency and disturbing long term side effects following surgery. This review explores emerging, alternative therapies that offer less invasive, personalized alternatives for GERD management. Endoscopic approaches, including Stretta therapy, transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), and endoscopic full-thickness plication (EFTP), demonstrate promising but also controversial outcomes in symptom relief and reduced acid exposure.

This review aims to explore the evolution, techniques, and outcomes of minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) within the field of neurosurgery. We sought to address the increasing burden of spine degeneration in a rapidly aging population and the need for optimizing surgical management. This review explores various techniques in MISS, drawing upon evidence from retrospective studies, case series, systematic reviews, and technological advancements in neurosurgical spine treatment.

Objective: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a minimally invasive technique. This study aimed to compare the safety of TOETVA with fibrin sealant (Tisseel) and TOETVA with drainage.
Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent TOETVA between January 2018 and December 2021 were divided into drainage ( = 20) and Tisseel ( = 30) groups.
