Objective: Postoperative recurrence of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar disc increases the physical damage and financial burden on patients and negatively affects physicians' treatment decisions. We conducted this meta-analysis to explore the risk factors for postoperative recurrence of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar disc for lumbar disc herniation.

Methods: We conducted article search in the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. PRISMA guidelines were followed in this review. The data are statistically analyzed by the Roundup Manager (version 3.6.1). The results of the meta-analysis are presented in the form of forest-like plots.

Results: We included 13 articles and identified 7524 cases. Patients with older age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18-1.40), higher body mass index (OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.05-1.28), smoker (OR = 1.73, 95% CI: 0.95-3.15), degenerative grades ≥3 (OR = 6.07, 95% CI: 2.81-13.11), and postoperative sagittal motion ≥10° (OR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.63-3.58) have a higher recurrence rate.

Conclusions: A thorough preoperative evaluation is essential to prevent postoperative recurrence of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy. The study addresses several factors of preoperative evaluation, which is hopeful to provide a reference for neurosurgeons.

Introduction: Up to one-third of pediatric patients with acute appendicitis present with radiological evidence of appendicoliths. However, whether appendicolith presence influences prognosis under conservative management compared to non-appendicolith appendicitis remains uncertain.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases for studies comparing pediatric appendicolith and non-appendicolith appendicitis managed conservatively with antibiotics, fluids, and percutaneous drainage.

: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD), complete revascularization (CR) is recommended over culprit-only PCI to reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the optimal strategy for CR, whether angiography (Angio)-guided or physiology-guided, remains uncertain. : This network meta-analysis included 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 11,568 patients to compare the efficacy of angio-guided CR, physiology-guided CR, and culprit-only PCI in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all-cause mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular (CV) death, and unplanned revascularization.

Objective: Unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy (UBE) is an emerging and minimally invasive surgeryfor lumbar spinal degenerative disease. However, the efficacy, safety and the radiological changes of dural sac and paraspinal muscle of UBE compared with the conventional percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) remains to be determined. The purpose of the study was to comprehensively compare the clinical efficacy between UBE and PTED in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal degenerative disease.

Objective: Percutaneous vegetation debulking has been reported to treat tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE), but data on feasibility compared with conventional surgical strategies are limited. We aimed to compare short-term outcomes of suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass to conventional open surgery in this population.

Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study that included all patients with isolated TVIE who underwent suction debulking with partial venovenous bypass or tricuspid valve surgery between January 2010 and December 2022.
