The aim of this manuscript is to describe and discuss the advantages and obstacles of using a guided implant system adapted for endodontic microsurgery in the execution of a case with indication of multiple endodontic microsurgery intervention in a single appointment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were aligned and processed with the planning software, complementing the Straumann® guided instruments. The drill handles of the system employed directed milling cutters and guided drills based on the sleeve-in-sleeve concept used in the osteotomy and apical resection of teeth #13, #14, #23 and #24. The root-ends were retro-prepared and sealed with putty bioceramic sealer. The patient was completely asymptomatic at the 12 months follow up visit and CBCT revealed complete tissue healing of the involved teeth. The protocol demonstrated to be reliable and reproducible. Its applicability can be extended to other anatomical complex scenarios. The reproducibility of the technique would encourage the maintenance of teeth in patients with indication to multiple endodontic surgery and permitted the conclusion of this case with precision and comfort to both patient and operator.

Standard microscopic posterior decompression(MD) for lumbar disc herniation has been well established and is a familiar procedure to virtually all spinal neurosurgeons. Traditional surgical treatments are often associated with severe postoperative pain, disability, and dysfunction. This study aimed to describe the microendoscopic discectomy(MED) technique for lumbar disc herniation and report its surgical indications.

Lumbar foraminal stenosis is a common problem; however, correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment are difficult. This article describes the author's techniques for imaging diagnosis using thin-slice magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and the microsurgical technique of foraminal decompression through the intermuscular approach. Thin-slice MRI consists of 1-mm thickness continuous images of the lumbar spine using a T2-weighted-image-based sequence.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the surgical and oncological outcomes of robotic mastectomy (RM) and conventional mastectomy (CM) for breast cancer.
Methods: Our institutional registry of women with breast cancer who received RM between 2018 and 2023 and CM between 2016 and 2023 were reviewed. Propensity score matching of clinicopathological variables was used to match 123 RM patients with 123 CM patients.

Full endoscopic spine surgery is a technique to perform hernia extraction using a single-hole-type endoscope with a coaxial operation system of a sheath, endoscope, and surgical instrument in reflux water. In the lumbar region, the ventral side of the dura mater can be directly approached via the lateral route. Not only is the skin incision small, but damage to muscle tissue is also minimal, which is why it is a minimally invasive surgery.

Pineal gland lesions pose a significant surgical challenge due to the deep-seated nature of the pineal gland, as well as the limited field of view, and the complex vascular anatomy. The mainstay of surgical treatment, when necessary, is always histopathological clarity and gross total resection (GTR). We evaluate the surgical outcomes for pineal gland lesions, shedding light on functional outcomes, histological findings, and surgical complications.
