Introduction: This is the first report on near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) clip-guided gastrectomy. The NIRF clip, ZEOCLIP FS, emits NIRF signals when excited. We hypothesized that preoperative placement of the ZEOCLIP FS near a gastric lesion would allow fluorescence laparoscopic localization of the clip, and hence, the lesion, during surgery. We report this technique in two cases.
Case Presentation: Case 1: An 81-year-old female was diagnosed with early gastric cancer and a pedunculated 4 cm large hyperplastic polyp that had prolapsed into the duodenum, and was scheduled for laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy, due to the potential risk of dissection of the polyp with the duodenal wall. On the day before surgery, ZEOCLIP FS clips were endoscopically placed at the cancer site and the polyp. The locations of the fluorescent clips were confirmed intraoperatively using a full-color fluorescence laparoscope.
Case 2: An 81-year-old male was scheduled for laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy for gastric cancer under fluorescent clip-guidance. Clip locations could not be confirmed during initial intraoperative observation. However, when the stomach wall was raised using forceps during a second observation attempt, the fluorescent clip locations were confirmed.
Discussion: In case 1, it was easy to confirm clip location, facilitating complete resection of early gastric cancer without dissecting the polyp. In case 2, the fluorescent clip was located by raising the stomach and adjusting the angle between the stomach wall and the fluorescence laparoscope.
Conclusion: The positive results of these two cases warrant conducting feasibility studies for use of this method.

Aorta-related infections are life threatening. Aggressive replacement surgery using artificial aortic grafts should be performed using well-vascularized tissue wrapping to avoid reinfection. An omental flap is the first choice; however, a history of abdominal surgery necessitates other methods.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition for which effective neuroregenerative and neuroreparative strategies are lacking. The post-traumatic disruption of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) as part of the neurovascular unit (NVU) is one major factor in the complex pathophysiology of SCI, which is associated with edema, inflammation, and cell death in the penumbra regions of the spinal cord adjacent to the lesion epicenter. Thus, the preservation of an intact NVU and vascular integrity to facilitate the regenerative capacity following SCI is a desirable therapeutic target.

The major human pathogen forms biofilms comprising of a fibrin network that increases attachment to surfaces and shields bacteria from the immune system. It secretes two coagulases, Coagulase (Coa) and von Willebrand factor binding protein (vWbp), which hijack the host coagulation cascade and trigger the formation of this fibrin clot. However, it is unclear how Coa and vWbp contribute differently to the localisation and dynamics of clot assembly in growing biofilms.

Introduction And Importance: The importance of preoperative tumor site marking has increased over the years, as the method of intraoperative primary lesion identification and determination of resection margins is one factor determining whether oncological safety and function-preserving gastrectomy are possible during surgery. We hypothesize that preoperative placement of the near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) clip, ZEOCLIP FS, near the oral incision line of the gastric tumor will allow for Firefly recognition of the NIRF clip on da Vinci during surgery and easy determination of the tumor location and incision line. Hence, we report on two cases in which the procedure was performed.

Accurate tumor localization is crucial for the success of minimally invasive surgery, as it minimizes the resection of normal tissues surrounding tumors. Traditional methods for marking gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, such as ink tattooing, intraoperative gastroscopy or colonoscopy, and placement of metal clips, have major drawbacks in their application in laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, the development of safe and easy-to-operate marking methods for accurate and real-time detection of GI tumors during laparoscopic surgery remains an ongoing challenge.
