Purpose: During breast cancer surgery, the use of dyes such as indigo carmine, methylene blue, or indocyanine green (ICG) for targeting axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) under ultrasound guidance can result in rapid diffusion, complicated tissue differentiation, and disruption of staining. LuminoMark™, a novel ICG-hyaluronic acid mixture, can provide real-time visualization and minimize dye spread, thereby ensuring a clear surgical field. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of LuminoMark™ for targeting ALNs in patients with breast cancer.

Electrophysiological (EP) signals are key biomarkers for monitoring mental fatigue (MF) and general health, but state-of-the-art wearable EP-based MF monitoring systems are bulky and require user-specific, labeled data. Ultrathin epidermal electrodes with high performance are ideal for constructing imperceptive EP sensing systems; however, the lack of a simple and scalable fabrication delays their application in MF recognition. Here, we report a facile, scalable printing-welding-transferring strategy (PWT) for printing μm-thickness micropatterned silver nanowires (AgNWs)/sticky polydimethylsiloxane, welding the AgNWs via plasmonic effect, and transferring the electrode to skin as tattoos.

Introduction: In robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC) for patients with cystocele, accurate identification of the vaginal point Aa from the serosal side is crucial for surgical mesh placement in the appropriate position. We developed a novel Pharus method for exactly locating the point Aa for RSC.
Methods: In the Pharus method, the tip of a rigid endoscope was placed directly on the vaginal point Aa.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness and safety of methylene blue ink and commercially available surgical marker pens in pre-operative skin marking for joint replacement procedures. The objective was to evaluate the visibility of the surgical instruments during the operation and their influence on the occurrence of infections after the surgery, providing valuable information on the practical use and cost-effectiveness.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective randomized study involved 150 total cases, which included knee replacements, total hip replacements, and hip hemiarthroplasty performed between 2020 and 2023.

Background: Studies indicate that physical appearance changes affect a significant proportion of breast cancer survivors, often leading to post-surgical distress. Both reconstructive surgery and medical tattoos are associated with patient-reported satisfaction, yet further research is necessary to understand their combined impact on aesthetic outcomes from the patient perspective. This study examined how breast cancer survivors evaluated the cosmetic and decision satisfaction of other patients who made various cosmetic intervention choices post-mastectomy.
