AI Article Synopsis
- The harpoon technique has been used since April 1983 for targeted removal of small abnormalities found in mammograms.
- This method involves inserting a harpoon-shaped metallic thread to guide surgeons during the operation.
- Out of 155 procedures performed, 38 cancers were detected, which aligns with existing data on this technique's effectiveness.
Article Abstract
Since April 1983, harpoon technique was used for limited excision of subclinical mammography-observed anomalies. The procedure involves the insertion of a harpoon-shaped metallic thread, after detection by mammography, to obtain guidance of surgical procedures. The results of 155 procedures in 149 patients included detection of 38 cancers (26%), confirming documented data in this field.

Investigating the Factors Influencing Postoperative Dynamic Intestinal Obstruction Following Laparoscopic Colorectal Radical Surgery.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 830000 Urumqi, Xinjiang, China.
Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) primarily arises from a combination of genetic, environmental, and dietary factors. Compared to traditional open surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages in managing CRC. This study investigates the factors influencing dynamic intestinal obstruction following laparoscopic colorectal radical surgery.

Background: Surgery is the preferred treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy is only feasible with accurate preoperative localisation. Virtual 3D anatomical models can be constructed from patient-specific CT scans using segmentation software.

Senior Department of Urology, The Third Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Targeted and systematic transperineal biopsy of lesions guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) fusion technique may optimize the biopsy procedure and enhance the detection of prostate cancer. We described the transperineal biopsy guided by an automatic MRI-TRUS fusion technique, and evaluated the accuracy and feasibility of this method in a prospective single-center study.
Methods: The proposed method focuses on automating the delineation of prostate contours in both the MRI and TRUS images, the registration and fusion of MRI and TRUS images, the generation and visualiztion of the systematic biopsy cores in their corresponding locations within the 2D and the 3D views, as well as the computation and visualiztion of needle trajectories from preoperative planning to intraoperative navigation.
Papillary Renal Neoplasm With Reverse Polarity: CT and MR Imaging Characteristics in 26 Patients.

Department of Radiology, the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital, 28 Fuxing Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100853, China (X.W., H.K., X.B., X.N., C.L., S.Y., H.W.). Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: To improve the diagnostic recognition of papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) through comprehensive analysis of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective multi-center study was conducted on patients with pathologically confirmed PRNRPs from 2019 to 2024, encompassing six institutions. Clinical and pathological data were meticulously documented.
Safe Laparoscopic Treatment of a Giant Hepatic Cyst That Compressed the Inferior Vena Cava With Severe Kyphosis.
Asian J Endosc Surg

Department of Surgery and Science, Faculty of Medicine, Academic Assembly, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan.
We report a case in which a giant hepatic cyst located at the hepatic hilum and compressing the inferior vena cava was safely treated laparoscopically with careful attention to hemodynamics in a difficult fenestrated resection in a patient with severe kyphosis. The anatomic location of the cyst was evaluated preoperatively via 3D reconstruction of computed tomography images to identify a site where safe fenestrated resection could be performed. This was challenging because the surgical field was narrow due to the presence of severe kyphosis, and there was a risk of damage to surrounding organs during fenestrated resection.
