To explore the possibility of endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy technique applied in transoral laryngopharyngeal minimally invasive surgery and evaluate the advantages of this technique. Eight patients with huge benign lesions in larynx and pharynx undergoing transoral microsurgery at Peking University Third Hospital between February 2016 and February 2017 were enrolled in this study.The diagnosis included cyst at the base of tongue in two patients, cysts in the epiglottis in two patients, hemangioma in two patients, multiple masses of the hypopharynx and amyloidosis in supraglottic area in one patient each.The time and exposure during surgery, occurrence rate of complication and conditions of following-up were recorded. The mean time of surgery was 20 min, the exposure was satisfying.There was no obvious complication after surgery.No residual or recurrent lesion was observed after 1 to 12 months follow-up(mean time 4.5 months). The endoscope assisted curved laryngoscopy technique has advantages in shortening the time of surgery, improving exposure and reducing the rate of complication and recurrence.

Objective: This systematic literature review of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in surgical practice through hand and instrument tracking provides an overview of recent advancements and analyzes current literature on the intersection of surgery with AI. Distinct AI algorithms and specific applications in surgical practice are also examined.
Methods: An advanced search using medical subject heading terms was conducted in Medline (via PubMed), SCOPUS, and Embase databases for articles published in English.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the short- and long-term outcomes of rectal cancer patients undergoing robotic versus laparoscopic surgery after receiving neo-adjuvant therapy. There is a lack of clarity on this topic, necessitating a comprehensive comparison.
Method: Between January 2017 and December 2021, consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic and robotic rectal resection at a major public medical center were enrolled.

Background: The treatment of calcaneal fractures is not uniform. This study aimed to compare the functional and imaging results of subtalar joint arthroscopic reduction combined with cannulated screw fixation (SJACF) and the extended lateral approach (ELA) for the treatment of Sanders type II and III displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACFs).
Methods: From January 2020 to January 2023, 60 patients with calcaneal fractures were treated with SJACF or ELA for foot and ankle surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.

Objective: Surgical site infections (SSIs) were recognized to be the most common complication of neurological surgery, with substantial life quality threats to patients and additional cost burdens to healthcare facilities. This study sought to expound the infection characteristics of class I incision and provide clinical indication for the prevention and treatment of SSIs.
Methods: A 2-year retrospective analysis was conducted according to patients who performed neurological surgery with class I incision in a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Shaanxi Province, China.

Background: Pain caused by chest tube placed after uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) is often neglected. Ropivacaine can be used to alleviate pain related to the chest tube, but the current lowest effective concentration of ropivacaine remains unclear.
Methods: To investigate the analgesic effect of administering two different concentrations of ropivacaine into the pleural cavity via pleural drainage tube bypass after UVATS.
