Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is a surgical technique that is becoming increasingly common because radiographic images and implant technologies advance in capabilities. It is imperative for surgeons to enhance their understanding of the surgical anatomy related to new approaches for fracture fixation. While performing minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis, there is a danger of injuring structures in the common percutaneous and submuscular pathways. We describe the critical anatomical structures in these pathways and tips for injury avoidance when operating on the clavicle, scapula, humerus, and wrist.

Department of Chemical Science & Engineering, School of Materials and Chemical Technology, Institute of Science Tokyo, 2-12-1 Ookayama, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, 152-8552, Japan.

Purpose: We aimed to develop a novel fluorescent surgical gauze dyed with indocyanine green (ICG) to guide surgeons to the target anatomical destination during surgery for real-time navigation and to prevent gauze remnants after surgery.

Methods: Surgical gauze was dyed with an aqueous solution of ICG (5.0 × 10 mol L for Steraze, 1.

Purpose: To assess the success rate of confirmation of ultrasound-guided intranodal needle positioning by saline injection for dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography (DCMRL) in pediatric patients.

Material And Methods: Data from children undergoing nodal DCMRL after ultrasound-guided needle positioning into inguinal lymph nodes and validation of the needle position by injection of plain saline solution between 05/2020 and 12/2022 were reviewed. On injection of saline solution, adequate needle position was confirmed by lymph node distension without leakage.

Introduction: Pain control following Nuss thoracoplasty remains a challenge. Cryoanalgesia of the intercostal nerves has been demonstrated to reduce postoperative pain in these patients. The objective of this study was to understand how and how widely cryoanalgesia is used in pediatric patients undergoing funnel chest surgery in Spain.

Background And Objective: A safe working trajectory is mandatory for spinal pathologies, especially in the midline, anterior to the spinal cord. For thoracic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, we developed a minimally invasive keyhole fenestration. This study investigates the necessary bone removal for sufficient exposure of different leak types particularly regarding weight-bearing structures.
