Purposes: Pre-, peri-, and postoperative intravenous lidocaine are reported effective in the management of postoperative pain in laparoscopic colorectal surgery but until the time, that of ropivacaine is not tested for the same. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-, peri-, and postoperative intravenous ropivacaine against that of lidocaine on the postoperative pain, bowel function recoveries, and hospital stays in patients who underwent surgery of left colon cancer.
Materials And Methods: Data regarding total doses of fentanyl required, bowel function recoveries, surgical-related complications, and hospital stays of 367 patients who underwent hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery of left colon cancer were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Patients received pre-, peri-, and postoperative intravenous normal saline (NS cohort, = 104), or that of lidocaine (LC cohort, = 145), or that of ropivacaine (RC cohort, = 118).
Results: Fewer dose of fentanyl was required in patients of RC cohort than those of NS (9 doses/patient . 11 doses/patient, < .0001, = 27.445) and LC (9 doses/patient . 10 doses/patient, < .0001, = 9.911) cohorts. Patients of the RC cohort had less time to first drink, first bowel movement, full diet, and hospital stay than those of NS and LC cohorts ( < .05 and > 3.329 for all).
Conclusions: Pre-, peri-, and postoperative intravenous ropivacaine are safe and effective than that of normal saline or lidocaine in hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery of left colon cancer.

Purpose: Understanding real-world treatment patterns and their effectiveness in HR + HER2- advanced breast cancer (aBC) in Canadian patients.
Patient And Methods: This was a multi-center, observational, prospective cohort study including men and pre-/peri-/postmenopausal women with HR + HER2- aBC receiving endocrine therapy (ET) or ET + targeted therapy (ET + TT). The primary objective was duration of treatment (DOT) with ET and ET + TT.

The digitization of aircraft cockpits places high demands on the colour vision of pilots. The present study investigates colour vision changes upon acute exposure to hypobaric hypoxia. The digital Waggoner Computerized Color Vision Test and the Waggoner D-15 were performed by 54 healthy volunteers in a decompression chamber.

Objective: Hysteroscopic myomectomy is widely regarded as safe and feasible, although achieving single-session results for larger myomas often requires alternative methods. This study introduces a novel approach: ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation using ring forceps combined with hysteroscopy.
Methods: This retrospective, single-center study includes patients who underwent ultrasound-guided myoma extirpation between 2016 and 2024.

Introduction: Dry eye disease (DED) can impact the accuracy of biometry measurements prior to cataract surgery (CS), influence visual performance post-CS, and can be exacerbated by CS. We performed a survey to evaluate the DED practice of clinicians directly caring for CS patients.
Design: Prospective face-to-face survey.
