Aim: This study aims to compare the efficacy of modified single-incision surgery with that of traditional modified Ravitch surgery for the repair of pectus excavatum in pediatric patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we included patients who underwent surgical correction for sternal depression from January 2015 to December 2020 across four major medical centers. Patients were categorized into two specific groups on the basis of the surgical technique employed: the modified single-incision surgery group, which comprised patients treated using the novel single-incision approach, and the traditional modified Ravitch surgery group, which included patients who received the conventional Ravitch surgery with multiple incisions.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of a cost-effective prototype of a laser-based respiratory motion detection system utilizing a Leuze LDS for breath monitoring through calibration and volunteer tests.
Methods: This study was performed using the Anzai AZ-773 V and computerized imaging reference systems (CIRS) motion phantoms for calibration tests. The calibration of the laser-based respiratory motion detection system involved spatial accuracy testing, amplitude calibration, and temporal accuracy.

Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is increasingly favored over autologous reconstruction due to its procedural simplicity and recovery benefits. Conducting this reconstruction using either the subpectoral or prepectoral planes has varied aesthetic outcomes. This study utilizes VECTRA XT 3D imaging to objectively assess breast symmetry differences between these surgical techniques.
