Blind-end stenosis (Myer-Cotton IV) is an extreme response to airway injury, resulting in phonatory ablation and dependence on a tracheostomy. A minimally invasive airway desobstruction and stenting can be beneficial in such cases. We present 2 cases of Myer-Cotton IV stenosis that were treated with a minimally invasive desobstruction using a hybrid (endoscopic-surgical) approach followed by the placement of a silicone T-tube.

Microneedle patches (MNs) hold enormous potential to facilitate the minimally-invasive delivery of drugs and vaccines transdermally. However, the micro-mechanics of skin deformation significantly influence the permeation of therapeutics through the skin. Previous studies often fail to appreciate the complexities in microneedle-skin mechanical interactions.

Background: Biliary leakage is a serious complication of hepato-pancreato-biliary operations, increasing morbidity and mortality, and challenging clinicians.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of bilioenteric anastomotic leakage, treatment options, and their outcomes at a high-volume tertiary referral center.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the outcomes of patients who underwent biliary anastomosis formation between 2016 and 2021.

To evaluate the impact of open surgical care (OSC) compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) on the occurrence of wound infection (WI) and overall postoperative aggregate complications (POACs) in female cervical cancer (CC) patients, we conducted this meta-analysis study. A thorough examination of the literature up to March 2024 was conducted, and 1849 related studies were examined. The 44 studies that were selected included 11,631 females who had CC.

Postoperative chylothorax is a serious complication after oesophagectomy. Real-time identification of the thoracic duct (TD) could prevent injury or facilitate prompt management when it occurs. Intraoperative TD lymphography with indocyanine green (ICG) is a novel technique that may help prevent chyle leaks following thoracic surgery.

When chronic constipation develops to the stage of intractable constipation, the symptoms of constipation in patients are severe and persistent, and drug treatment is often ineffective, so surgical treatment is often considered. The clinical manifestations of patients with intractable constipation are variable, and the underlying pathophysiological changes involve various abnormal and dysfunctional anatomical structure of colorectal and pelvic floor, which are different. For the surgical treatment of intractable constipation, accurate preoperative classification diagnosis is very important, and it is necessary to formulate an exact and effective surgical plan to avoid untargeted empirical treatment.
