The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma is growing rapidly. Especially in young patients, the patients have high demand for better cosmetic effect and less psychological trauma. The application of laparoscope technique in papillary thyroid carcinoma surgery should meet the needs of patients. The development of needle assisted technique make it easy to access the neck potential fascial spaces, and provide the basic instrument for laparoscope modified neck dissection. The application of needle assisted techniques mainly include suture suspension and V type needle retractor, MiniLap, 3 mm laparoscopic apparatus. Indications of this procedure is very important, and it is necessary to make full use of the "critical points" , "mark lines" and "fascia layers" to precise positioning in the operation. Furthermore, the levels of dissection must be determined based on the pattern of cervical lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid carcinoma, that will make the surgical procedures more safety.

Traction-assisted endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy using the clip-with-thread method for small gastric subepithelial lesions: Randomized controlled trial (with video).

Objectives: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) is the gold standard for diagnosing gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs), but diagnosing lesions smaller than 20 mm remains challenging. We developed traction-assisted EUS-FNB (TA-EUS-FNB) using the clip-with-thread method to enhance diagnostic accuracy by stabilizing the lesion and providing counter-traction for easier needle access. This study evaluates the effectiveness of TA-EUS-FNB in diagnosing small gastric SELs.

Background: Robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery makes it easier for the surgeons to perform precise and dexterous manipulations required in vitreoretinal procedures.
Methods: We systematically evaluated manual surgery, conventional two-hand teleoperation, a novel one-hand teleoperation, and automation in a needle positioning task using a realistic surgical eye model, measuring the expert surgeon's performances and the novice's learning curves.
Results: The proposed one-hand teleoperation improved the positioning accuracy of expert surgeons , enabled novices to achieve a consistent accuracy more quickly , decreased the novice's workload more quickly , and made it easier for novices to learn to conduct the task quickly .
Therapeutic Potential of Microneedle Assisted Drug Delivery for Wound Healing: Current State of the Art, Challenges, and Future Perspective.

Microneedles (MNs) appear as a transformative and minimally invasive platform for transdermal drug delivery, representing a highly promising strategy in wound healing therapeutics. This technology, entailing the fabrication of micron-scale needle arrays, enables the targeted and efficient delivery of bioactive agents into the epidermal and dermal layers without inducing significant pain or discomfort. The precise penetration of MNs facilitates localized and sustained drug release, which significantly enhances tissue regeneration and accelerates wound closure.

Robotic-assisted surgery offers several advantages over traditional methods, such as reduced blood loss and fewer complications. Establishing pneumoperitoneum is a critical step, with two primary techniques: the Veress needle (closed) and the Hasson (open) technique. Despite extensive studies in laparoscopic surgery, limited data exist regarding their use in robotic surgery.

The epidural injection is a medical intervention to inject therapeutics directly into the vicinity of the spinal cord for pain management. Because of its proximity to the spinal cord, imprecise insertion of the needle may result in irreversible damage to the nerves or spinal cord. This study explores enhancing procedural accuracy by integrating a telerobotic system and augmented reality (AR) assistance.
