Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to verify if the experience on 4 years in using minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of CE could match regarding the indications and results with the major studies on topic.
Method: During 03.2014 - 03. 2018 period, 38 PAIR, 28 MoCaT procedures and 7 percutaneous drainages have been performed at 51 patients from 76 cases of hydatid hepatic cysts (67,1%). There were 26 men and 25 women, and the age ranged from 19 to 78. 7 patients have had 2 hydatid hepatic cysts or more and 2 procedures were performed at 3 of those patients; other 11 patients needed the second procedure during the surveillance. The evolution of the patients was favorable, and the surveillance was 2 years postintervention at least. There were no major surgical adverse effects. We defined as an expected result obtaining a scar lesion or a small cavity with calcified walls (hyperechoic). Only 2 (3,9%) patients needed conversion to open surgery. The complications we have faced were represented by the cystic-biliary fistula in 15 cases (29,4%) and the re-opening of the cyst's cavity in 11 cases (21,67%). The percutaneous treatment of CE is safe and effective, following the correct assignation according with the cysts type. The percutaneous treatment of CE is an easier alternative to the open surgery and has lower rate of complications and relapses, and a shorter hospitalisation. Now routine, it becomes slighty the first option for invasive treatment of CE. The role of open surgery is restricted to CE with severe complications.

Thin flap sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty in patellar instability yields good functional outcomes without progressive cartilage deterioration in the short-term follow-up-A retrospective single-surgeon cohort study.

Sporthopaedicum, Berlin, Germany.
Purpose: Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty (TP) effectively treats patellofemoral (PF) instability (PFI) caused by high-grade trochlear dysplasia (TD), but current evidence is based on small case series. We hypothesised, that TP would result in significant functional improvements and a low re-dislocation rate but would not accelerate the progression of PF cartilage deterioration.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all TP cases performed by a single surgeon between 2015 and 2021.
Effect of Time to Surgery on Surgical Site Infection in Open Distal Radius Fractures: A Review of the ACS Trauma Quality Improvement Program Database.

Introduction: Managing open distal radius fractures (DRFs) poses challenges. While preventing surgical site infection (SSI) involves prompt antibiotic administration and thorough irrigation and debridement, the impact of urgent intervention on reducing postoperative infection rates is debated. We hypothesize that timing of surgery does not significantly affect the incidence of SSI in open DRF treated within or after 24 hours from time of injury.

Introduction: Trauma and orthopedics departments have traditionally used face-to-face (FTF) fracture clinics for non-operative fractures. Developed in 2011, the virtual fracture clinic (VFC) was fully implemented at an institution during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce in-person interactions.
Aims: First, the study aims to measure the percentage of non-operative patients triaged through the VFC when this was optional and re-audit after implementing a COVID-19-related policy change mandating VFC triage.
This study investigates the reconstruction of hyperspectral signatures from RGB data to enhance surgical imaging, utilizing the publicly available HeiPorSPECTRAL dataset from porcine surgery and an in-house neurosurgery dataset. Various architectures based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer models are evaluated using comprehensive metrics. Transformer models exhibit superior performance in terms of RMSE, SAM, PSNR and SSIM by effectively integrating spatial information to predict accurate spectral profiles, encompassing both visible and extended spectral ranges.

Background: The absolute overall survival (OS) improvement with preoperative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is controversial and unsatisfactory. We designed this trial to explore the efficacy and safety of perioperative sintilimab plus platinum-based chemotherapy for potentially resectable stage IIIB NSCLC to facilitate further optimization of this therapeutic strategy.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with stage IIIB NSCLC through invasive staging approaches and/or PET/CT scans and evaluated as having a high probability of radical resection of the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes with clear pathological margins by a multidisciplinary team were enrolled in this open-label, single-arm, phase II trial at a single centre in China.
