Introduction: This study aims to compare the clinical effects of an incision skin tissue retractor for mini-incision open appendectomy and laparoscopic surgery for pediatric appendicitis.
Methods: From January 2014 to July 2017, a total of 248 patients were included in the present study. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed for 108 cases (LA group), and mini-incision open appendectomy with an incision skin tissue retractor was performed for 140 cases (MOA-ISTR group). Then, medical history, age, gender, operative duration, amount of bleeding during the operation, the determination of whether or not the appendix was perforated during the operation, hospitalization days, total cost of hospitalization, and complications after the operation (incision infection or intestinal obstruction) were compared. The SPSS 20.0 software package was used for the statistical analysis.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in history, age, gender, perioperative perforation of the appendix, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications (incisional infection or intestinal obstruction, P > 0.05). However, the values for duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss and total hospitalization expense were smaller, when compared with the LA group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Mini-incision open appendectomy with an incision skin tissue retractor has similar efficacy and incision appearance when compared with laparoscopic appendectomy. Furthermore, this approach leads to shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss and less hospitalization time, and is more convenient, especially for perforated appendicitis. Moreover, it can be widely used for pediatric appendicitis, and is more suitable for doctors who are not skilled in basic hospitals and laparoscopy.

Objective: Potential disadvantages of open technique for talocalcaneal coalition (TCC) include a risk of wound infection, opioid drug dependence, and prolonged hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic resection of the TCC.
Methods: A retrospective study from June 2019 to February 2023was conducted on 16 consecutively admitted patients who were diagnosed by imaging to have TCC for whom conservative treatment had failed and who undergone arthroscopic resection.

Sural nerve is the most common nerve used as a source for nerve grafting. Open harvest with longitudinal incisions produces unsightly scars, and this have led to development of less invasive techniques using endoscopes, nerve stripper, and mini-incisions. Several anatomical classifications have also been proposed due to the variations in the anatomy of the sural nerve.

Objectives: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition seen in daily clinical practice. Multiple minimally invasive techniques have emerged in the last decades for median nerve decompression. However, many research are needed to study the outcome on the patients and their safety profile.
