Robot-assisted minimally invasive oesophagectomy (RAMIE) can overcome the limitations of thoracoscopic surgery, particularly in the thoracic part of the operation. Thanks to more degrees of freedom of movement, anastomosis is simpler in the robotic procedure. In this work, we present our established full RAMIE-technique on the da Vinci Xi system. Our technique is characterized by the incomplete formation of the gastric tube abdominally and an end-to-side anastomosis with a circular stapler.

Purpose: Thread release of the carpal tunnel is the most recent of several minimally invasive ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release techniques. The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide for minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided thread release of the carpal tunnel focused on transecting the transverse carpal ligament with minimal damage to the palmar aponeurosis on anatomical specimens.
Methods: Fifteen ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel thread releases were performed on the wrists of soft-embalmed anatomical specimens, which were dissected immediately after the intervention.
Efficacy and safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy versus radiofrequency ablation and stereotactic radiosurgery in the treatment of intractable mesial temporal lobe epilepsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Epilepsy is a common neurological disease that is treated with medications; however, patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, commonly intractable temporal lobe epilepsy, tend to have better control with surgical treatment. While the mainstay of surgical treatment is anterior temporal lobectomy, it carries risk of potential adverse effects hence minimally invasive techniques are now being used as an alternative to open surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis compare the efficacy and safety of three of the most used techniques: laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT), radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Endovascular interventions excel in treating cardiovascular diseases in a minimally invasive manner, showing improved outcomes over open techniques. However, challenges related to precise navigation - still relying on 2D fluoroscopy - persist. This review examines the role of robotics, highlighting commercial and research platforms, while exploring emerging trends like MRI compatibility, enhanced navigation, and autonomy.
