Three-dimensional (3D) stereolithographic models provide tactile and anatomic information that offers advantages over digital 3D reconstructions alone. This technology has the potential to alter preoperative surgical planning and significantly enhance successful performance of complex nephron-sparing surgery.

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery and Pediatric Surgery, Gifu University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Yanagido, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, 501-1194, Japan.
Background: Complex surgery during initial cancer treatment can limit surgical options when planning management of a secondary malignancy. Subtotal esophagectomy and pancreatoduodenectomy are the most invasive and difficult procedures in gastroenterological surgery. Surgical cases in which subtotal esophagectomy was performed after pancreatoduodenectomy with pancreaticogastrostomy are extremely rare and challenging procedures due to the resulting complicated anatomical changes.

Novel Use of Objective Sensor Technology: Creation of Individualized Education Plans to Develop Operative Mastery.
J Am Coll Surg
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, CA.
Background: Motion-tracking has been shown to correlate with expert and novice performance but has not been used for skill development. For skill development, performance goals must be defined. We hypothesize that using wearable sensor technology, motion tracking outcomes can be identified in those deemed practice-ready and used as benchmarks for precision learning.

Preoperative radiological evaluations, including assessments of joint space narrowing, osteophytes, varus/valgus deformities, and subchondral sclerosis, are essential for planning the surgery and predicting postoperative outcomes. Although extensive research has been conducted internationally, data focusing on populations in Saudi Arabia remain limited.

J Dent Sci

Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is a field that straddles knowledge and clinical experience from both medical and dental specialties. In the small island nation of Singapore, the rapidly and constantly changing needs of its diverse and aging population, as well as changes in the mindsets of both students and educators have led to many developments in the local OMS program. Tied to the only dental school in the country, the curriculum of the training program has kept up with the changes in the demographics and attitudes of the local patient pool, which comprises a multicultural population with both traditional and modern mindsets.
