Adnexal masses are relatively common, contributing to gynecologist office volume and surgical case load. The development of minimally invasive techniques and a greater focus on fertility preservation have led to the favoring of a laparoscopic approach with ovarian cystectomy, when possible. We report the case of a young woman presenting with two simultaneous, distinct ovarian masses who was successfully treated by laparoscopy with preservation of both gonads. A minimally invasive surgical approach by laparoscopy with preservation of both ovaries is feasible and crucial, even in rare and difficult cases such as the case presented.

Objective: Awake, endoscopic spinal fusion has been utilized as an ultra-minimally invasive surgery technique to accomplish the goals of spinal fixation, fusion, and disc height restoration. While many techniques exist for this approach, this series represents a single institution's experience with a large cohort and the evolution of this method.

Methods: The medical records of a consecutive series of 400 patients treated over a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: Tumor consistency, or fibrosity, affects the ability to optimally resect meningiomas, especially with recent trends evolving toward minimally invasive approaches. The authors' team previously validated a practical 5-point scale for intraoperative grading of meningioma consistency. The impact of meningioma consistency on surgical management and outcomes, however, has yet to be explored.

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the impact of using a lower thoracic (LT) versus upper lumbar (UL) level as the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) on clinical and radiographic outcomes following minimally invasive surgery for adult spinal deformity.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study design was used. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, and one of the following: coronal Cobb angle > 20°, sagittal vertical axis > 50 mm, pelvic tilt > 20°, pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis mismatch > 10°.

Objective: To compare the 3-year outcomes of the modified minimally invasive Ponto surgery (m-MIPS) to both the original MIPS (o-MIPS) and linear incision technique with soft tissue preservation (LIT-TP) for inserting bone-anchored hearing implants (BAHIs).

Study Design: Prospective study with three patient groups: m-MIPS, o-MIPS, and LIT-TP.

Setting: Tertiary referral center.
