Introduction: Preoperative identification of the site of rectal cancer surgery is crucial for ensuring accurate tumor localization and resection. Commonly employed methods include contrast-enhanced enterography and endoscopic marking techniques, such as clipping and India ink tattooing. However, India ink tattooing poses challenges, including obstruction of the surgical field, ink leakage into the abdominal cavity, and potential complications such as peritonitis and adhesive bowel obstruction.

Accurate tumor localization is crucial for the success of minimally invasive surgery, as it minimizes the resection of normal tissues surrounding tumors. Traditional methods for marking gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, such as ink tattooing, intraoperative gastroscopy or colonoscopy, and placement of metal clips, have major drawbacks in their application in laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, the development of safe and easy-to-operate marking methods for accurate and real-time detection of GI tumors during laparoscopic surgery remains an ongoing challenge.

Introduction: Despite the establishment of a national strategy and plan to eliminate all harmful traditional practices, traditional uvulectomy remains widely practiced in Ethiopia, and there is a lack of comprehensive summary of national data on uvulectomy complications and associated malpractices. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled complications of uvulectomy and concurrent occurrences of traditional malpractices in Ethiopia.
Methods: The following databases were used to retrieve studies: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Google Scholar, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and Google Search.

In recent years, alternative methods to dark ink tattoos for patient positioning in radiotherapy have been explored. This review aims to analyse the evidence for alternative strategies to traditional dark tattoos. An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences and SCOPUS.

Endoscopic tattooing plays a pivotal role in modern endoscopic localization of gastrointestinal lesions, facilitating further surgical intervention and aiding in the postoperative identification and repositioning of lesions. However, traditional endoscopic tattoo dyes often suffer from drawbacks such as side effects, short tattoo duration, and high overall costs. In this study, we developed polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-modified polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles by oxidizing pyrrole in a PVP aqueous solution to create a PPy/PVP nanoparticle solution.
