Objective: To study our experiences on deep lobe tumor parotidectomy with preservation of the superficial lobe of the parotid gland.
Method: Eleven cases of benign tumor in the deep lobe of the parotid gland were analyzed restrospectively. Tumour recurrence, Frey's syndrome, paralysis of facial nerve, salivary fistula, dry mouth and feeling around the auricular lobule were evaluated.
Result: Numbness around the auricular lobule appeared in 2 cases and salivary fistula appeared in 1 case, transient facial paralysis in 1 case. There were no patients appeared Frey's syndrome, dry mouth, permanent facial paralysis and recurrence in the 1-3 years followed up time.
Conclusion: Deep lobe tumor parotidectomy with preservation of the superficial lobe improves the cosmetics and the feeling around the auricular lobule, reduces the incidence rate of Frey's syndrome, facial paralysis and dry mouth.

: Resection of the caudate lobe of the liver is considered a highly challenging surgical procedure due to the deep anatomic location of this segment and the relationships with major vessels. There is no clear evidence about the safety and effectiveness of robotic resection of the caudate lobe. The aim of this systematic review was to report data about the safety, technical feasibility, and postoperative outcomes of robotic caudate lobectomy.

As the leading cause of dementia worldwide, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has prompted significant interest in developing Deep Learning (DL) approaches for its classification. However, it currently remains unclear whether these models rely on established biological indicators. This work compares a novel DL model using structural connectivity (namely, BC-GCN-SE adapted from functional connectivity tasks) with an established model using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (namely, ResNet18).

Background: The technical challenges associated with the removal of small nodules in challenging locations rather than peripheral locations remain unaddressed. We sought to illustrate the parenchymal-sparing surgical approach employed for deep interlobar lung cancer with fused fissures (DILCFFs).
Methods: A retrospective review of 43 patients with cT1N0M0 DILCFFs from January 2013 through December 2022 was performed.
