Chronic patellar tendinopathy remains a challenging problem. The first line of treatment is conservative; when this fails, surgical treatment is indicated. Several open and arthroscopic techniques have been described. We describe an alternative technique using ultrasound-guided electrocoagulation of neovessels that leaves the patellar tendon intact.

Background: Ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is a reliable diagnostic procedure for prostate cancer diagnosis with minimal procedure-related trauma. However, complications, such as massive rectal bleeding may occur after the puncture. We hypothesized that using a transrectal resectoscope could help treat massive rectal bleeding after transrectal prostate punctures.

Background and objective Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a debilitating disorder characterized by acute episodic attacks of pain that significantly impair patients' quality of life and overall functioning. Initial therapeutic strategies to treat this condition include pharmacological options, particularly carbamazepine. In cases with resistance to dose escalation and polypharmacy, interventional procedures may be warranted.

Article Synopsis
- Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) were studied against plastic stents for treating infected walled-off necrosis (WON), focusing on their safety and efficacy.
- The study included 46 patients, finding no significant difference in the total number of endoscopic necrosectomy procedures required between the two groups, but LAMS showed a higher clinical success rate at 8 weeks.
- LAMS treatment led to no adverse events, while one patient with a plastic stent experienced significant bleeding.

This study retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) using novel electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis (AC). Between January 1, 2021, and November 30, 2022, 58 high-risk surgical patients with AC underwent EUS-GBD with the novel electrocautery-enhanced LAMS. The technical success rate was 94.

Objective: Ultrasound-guided tibial nerve pulsed radiofrequency (US-guided TN PRF) and fluoroscopy-guided intralesional radiofrequency thermocoagulation (FL-guided intralesional RFT) adjacent to the painful calcaneal spur are two interventions for pain management in painful calcaneal spur and plantar fasciitis. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the two procedures.
Design: A prospective, randomized, single-blind study.
