Background: Atrial septal aneurysms (ASAs) are uncommon but are associated with significant embolic morbidity when an interatrial communication is present. Although surgical reconstruction has traditionally been approached through a median sternotomy, minimally invasive techniques may be employed to reduce pain and recovery time.
Methods: We present a video-assisted technique via right inframammary minithoracotomy utilizing peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass. Included is a discussion of surgical tips, potential pitfalls and a description of unique technical aspects that differentiate atrial septal repair from other minimally invasive cardiac operations.
Results: A complete repair of the defect was confirmed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The patient made an uncomplicated recovery and was discharged home within 48 hours of surgery.
Conclusions: Minimally invasive repair of an ASA utilizing peripheral cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass and a right inframammary incision can be accomplished with satisfactory technical success and recovery time.

A rare, asymptomatic case of an extrahepatic portocaval shunt between the posterior aspect of the portal vein and the inferior vena cava.

Department of Radiology, International University of Health and Welfare Narita Hospital, 852 Hatakeda, Narita, 286-8520, Chiba, Japan.
Purpose: We present the case of a rare extrahepatic portocaval shunt that resulted in communication of the portal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC) at the level between two right renal veins that was incidentally diagnosed with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in an asymptomatic patient.
Methods: A woman in her sixties with abdominal pain and diarrhea of unclear origin underwent exploratory abdominal CECT.
Results: The CECT incidentally revealed an extrahepatic portocaval shunt, whereby a vessel arising from the portal vein superior to the confluence of the superior mesenteric and splenic veins drained into the posterior aspect of the IVC between two right renal veins.
Purpose: This brief report aims to summarize and discuss the methodologies of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and their potential applications in surgery.
Methods: We briefly introduce explainability methods, including global and individual explanatory features, methods for imaging data and time series, as well as similarity classification, and unraveled rules and laws.
Results: Given the increasing interest in artificial intelligence within the surgical field, we emphasize the critical importance of transparency and interpretability in the outputs of applied models.
Robotic Anatomical Segment VIII Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using the Scissor Hepatectomy Technique.

Department of General and Visceral Surgery, Ulm University Hospital, Ulm, Germany.
Background: Robotic hepatectomy has been increasingly adopted for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the ideal technique of parenchymal transection in robotic hepatectomy has been a matter of ongoing debate in literature.
Patients And Methods: In this video, we demonstrate the technique of robotic anatomical segment VIII resection using the scissor hepatectomy technique for parenchymal transection on a 75-year-old male patient with a solitary HCC lesion.

Introduction: This study presents an innovative arthroscopy-assisted total wrist arthrodesis technique utilising three hollow screws, aimed at improving clinical outcomes for patients with severe wrist arthritis.
Materials And Methods: The technique involved the placement of three hollow screws to facilitate wrist bone fusion. Between August 2019 and August 2023, four patients diagnosed with severe wrist arthritis underwent the arthroscopy-assisted procedure.
Gut microbiota modulation via fecal microbiota transplantation mitigates hyperoxaluria and calcium oxalate crystal depositions induced by high oxalate diet.

Hyperoxaluria, including primary and secondary hyperoxaluria, is a disorder characterized by increased urinary oxalate excretion and could lead to recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis and eventually end stage renal disease. For secondary hyperoxaluria, high dietary oxalate (HDOx) or its precursors intake is a key reason. Recently, accumulated studies highlight the important role of gut microbiota in the regulation of oxalate homeostasis.
