To evaluate the value of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) combined with neuronavigation for the resection of insular gliomas.
 Methods: From August 2014 to October 2017 in the First Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University, clinical data of 41 patients with insular glioma, who underwent the surgery assisted with 3.0T iMRI and neuronavigation, were analyzed retrospectively, and the resection extent, complications and prognosis were evaluated.
 Results: Subtotal tumor resection was achieved in 21 patients and partial resection was done in 20 after iMRI scanning. After further resection, total tumor resection was achieved in 16 patients, subtotal resection in 18 and partial resection in 7. There was a statistical significant difference in tumor resection between pre-iMRI and post-iMRI according to the Fisher test (P<0.05). In the follow-up from 3 months to 3 years, the symptoms of the 41 patients had improved.
 Conclusion: iMRI corrected the shift of brain. Neuronavigation can accurately and timely assess the degree of resecting tumor. The combination of neuronavigation with surgery can maximally and safely resect insular glioma.

Background: The incidence of rectal cancer has decreased overall, but the incidence of early-onset rectal cancer (eoRC) has increased. Early-onset rectal cancer and late-onset rectal cancer (loRC) differ due to phenotypical, genetic characteristics, and higher stage presentations in eoRC. Thus, eoRC patients undergo more aggressive neoadjuvant treatments.

Introduction: Children and young adults diagnosed with sarcoma often present with pulmonary metastases requiring wedge resection. It is important to balance the risk of pulmonary recurrence against the desire to limit resection of benign parenchyma. This study aims to determine the impact of resection margins on survival and recurrence among pediatric and young adult sarcoma patients.

We assessed the diagnostic performance of the Narrow-Band Imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic Classification (NICE) and the Japan NBI Expert Team classification (JNET) in predicting histological outcomes of advanced colorectal lesions. Additionally, we evaluated the sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the JNET and NICE classifications individually for high-grade lesions (including HGD adenomas, intramucosal carcinomas, and T1 carcinomas). This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, involving 211 patients (130 men, mean age 60 years) who underwent colonoscopy with endoscopic resection of advanced colorectal neoplasia (lesions ≥ 10 mm).

Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Purpose: This study aims to show the impact of multimodal intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IOM) in glioma surgery in preventing severe neurologic injury and increasing tumor removal by comparing the historical cases where IOM was not used.

Methods: Fifty-nine patients with glial tumors located nearby the eloquent area, operated by the same surgeon, were included in the study. Between 2008 and 2012, 21 patients were operated on without IOM (non-IOM); between 2018 and 2021, 38 patients were operated on with IOM.
