Objective: To discuss the significance and the short-term effect of bone puncture technique in transiliac approach to intervertebral endoscopic discectomy for the treatment of L5/S1 intervertebral disc herniation.
Methods: Nineteen patients were diagnosed as L5/S1 disc herniation and treated using transiliac approach to endoscopic discectomy (group I), and 20 patients were diagnosed as L5/S1 disc herniation and underwent conventional approach (group R) [corrected]. Leg pain was evaluated by VAS. MacNab ratings of the last follow-up were recorded to evaluate early clinical efficacy, and postoperative complications were recorded to evaluate surgical safety. The imaging changes of the patients 3 months after surgery were observed.
Results: One patient in group I, who felt abnormal in nerve roots, underwent symptomatic treatments, such as rehydration and hormone, and the abnormalities disappeared 3 days after treatment. There were no significant significances in operative time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times between groups I and R (p > 0.05), but there was a higher tendency in group I. The VAS scores of post-operation were significantly lower than that of pre-operation in the two groups (p < 0.05), but there were no significant differences between the two groups (p > 0.05). The MacNab score of the last follow-up showed excellent rate (95%) and good rate (90%) in groups I and R, respectively.
Conclusions: Bone puncture-combined transiliac approach to intervertebral endoscopic surgery could locate iliac puncture point individually, and establish a good iliac channel, which is safe, effective, and minimally invasive.

Importance: In veterinary orthopedics, addressing foramen stenosis in the L7-S1 region in dogs presents significant challenges due to limited access and visualization with conventional surgical techniques.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate endoscopic foraminotomy through the iliac window, using three-dimensionally (3D) printing guide based on the preoperative plan, in cadaveric dogs.
Methods: Trans-iliac foraminotomies were performed on each side of five canine cadavers using and individualized 3D printing guide.
Combined Endovascular and Endoscopic Management of a Secondary Aortoesophageal Fistula after Open Surgical Aortic Repair in a Giant Descending Thoracic Aortic Pseudoaneurysm: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Secondary aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is defined as a communication between the aorta and the esophagus, occurring after aortic disease treatment or esophageal procedures, associating very high mortality rates with treatment and being fatal without it. Several treatment strategies have been described in the literature, combining open surgery or endovascular aortic repair with surgical or endoscopic management of the esophageal lesion. We present the case of a 53-year-old patient with a history of open aortic surgery for a giant descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm complicated with secondary AEF, successfully managed using emergency transiliac TEVAR (thoracic endovascular aortic repair), extensive antibiotic therapy associated with nutritional replenishment, and rehabilitation therapy.

Introduction: Minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion has become the mainstay treatment for chronic refractory sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Multiple procedures are now available including transfixing procedures with implants placed in the lateral or posterolateral transiliac trajectories, and intra-articular procedures with devices and/or allograft placed via a dorsal approach. To date, the published literature on the lateral approach has been primarily by surgeons.

Epidemiological evidence suggests existing comorbidity between postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but identification of possible shared genes is lacking. The skeletal global transcriptomes were analyzed in trans-iliac bone biopsies (n = 84) from clinically well-characterized postmenopausal women (50 to 86 years) without clinical CVD using microchips and RNA sequencing. One thousand transcripts highly correlated with areal bone mineral density (aBMD) were further analyzed using bioinformatics, and common genes overlapping with CVD and associated biological mechanisms, pathways and functions were identified.

Article Synopsis
- Pelvic ring fractures are increasingly common in older adults, with high mortality rates of 10% to 16%, necessitating effective stabilization methods through internal fixation due to the complexity of these injuries.!* -
- A study used a 3D finite element model to simulate a unilateral pelvic ring fracture and tested five fixation techniques, measuring their biomechanical performance, including range of motion and stress levels at various locations.!* -
- Results showed that trans-iliac-trans-sacral screw fixation provided the best stabilization against displacement, while different fixation techniques varied in effectiveness for stabilizing specific fracture sites and managing range of motion in the lumbar spine and pelvis.!*
