Unlabelled: Tarsal coalition has an incidence between 2-5% of the general population, and calcaneonavicular is the most frequent (53%). When conservative treatment fails, surgical resection must be indicated. Endoscopic resection is a less invasive technique and can be considered an alternative with better functional recovery.
Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of the patients with calcaneonavicular coalition operated in our hospital between 2015 and 2018. We performed an endoscopic resection. We used AOFAS scale score for the results.
Results: We reviewed seven cases for a minimum of 12 months. AOFAS score improved from 42 before surgery to 92. There were no major complications from surgery. We had a patient with dysesthesias in the forefoot that improved at 3 months and a case of local swelling that solved with ice and rest.
Conclusions: Endoscopic resection has advantages over open surgery. Offers a great vision and good control of the coalition resection, provides an early rehabilitation, decrease hospital stay, improves cosmetic results and the probability of neuroma is minimum with an adequate control of the technique.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, China.
Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is exceptionally rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient with a large abdominal cystic mass detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, initially suspected to be pseudomyxoma peritonei. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a 30 x 30 cm multilocular cystic tumour originating from the retroperitoneum.

This article reports a rare case of esophageal submucosal gland duct adenoma (ESGDA). The patient was found to have this tumor after undergoing endoscopy in an outpatient clinic due to occasional tingling while eating. White light endoscopy revealed the tumor as a dumbbell-shaped bulge, and ultrasound endoscopy revealed it as a hypoechoic mass located in the submucosal layer.

We sought to establish factors associated with outcome predictors in a national cohort of patients.
Methods And Analysis: Data for all patients referred with a diagnosis of skull base chordoma or chondrosarcoma from April 2017 to December 2022 were obtained.

Purpose: To evaluate the staging performance of positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for confirmed esophageal cancer based on the TNM classification system as well as compare it to other alternative modalities (e.g., endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT), MRI, and PET/CT) in a full head-to-head manner.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of congenital lung malformations (CLMs) in patients from infancy to adulthood, and to determine the optimal timing for thoracoscopic surgery.
Methods: All patients with CLMs who underwent thoracoscopic surgery between 2017 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into five age groups: 1-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-4 years, 4-16 years, and >16 years.
