Progress towards the development and adoption of minimally invasive techniques in cardiac surgery has been slower than that seen in other surgical specialties. Congenital heart disease (CHD) patients represent an important population within cardiac disease, of which atrial septal defect (ASD) is one of the most common diagnoses. Management of ASD encompasses a range of minimal-access and minimally invasive approaches, including transcatheter device closure, mini-sternotomy, thoracotomy, video-assisted, endoscopic, and robotic approaches. In this article, we will discuss the pathophysiology of ASD, along with diagnosis, management, and indications for intervention. We will review the current evidence supporting minimally invasive and minimal-access surgical ASD closure in the adult and paediatric patient, highlighting peri-operative considerations and areas for further research.

Risk Analysis of Neurological Deterioration Associated With Fluid Insufflation in Uniportal Spine Endoscopy: A Case Series and Literature Review.
Int J Spine Surg
March 2025
NeuroSpine Surgery Research Group (NSURG), Randwick, Australia.
Background: Uniportal spine endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique gaining widespread popularity, but fluid insufflation during the procedure poses risks of neurological deterioration. The present study examines these risks through a case series and literature review.
Methods: A review of the literature was conducted to identify reported complications related to fluid insufflation.

Traditional mRNA vaccine formulation loaded by lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) has several shortcomings in clinical application, including the need for cryopreservation, discomfort associated with intramuscular injections, and the risk of liver aggregation. Dissolvable microneedles (DMNs), as a novel transdermal drug delivery platform, can overcome the skin barrier to deliver drugs directly into the skin in a minimally invasive manner. However, mRNA-LNP is unstable and easily degraded during the solidification of DMN.

To investigate the correlation between different prenatal imaging techniques in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and their prognostic value.209 fetuses with CDH were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. The prenatal ultrasound-based and MRI-based (MRI: magnetic resonance imaging) observed-to-expected lung-to-head ratio (o/e-LHR) and MRI-based relative fetal lung volume (rFLV) were evaluated and compared.

Robotic gastrectomy is a safe and minimally invasive approach that may reduce the risk of complications in patients with severely impaired pulmonary function. Here, we report the successful treatment of an 80-year-old patient with gastric cancer and myasthenia gravis(MG)using perioperative respiratory rehabilitation and robotic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Patients with gastric cancer and severe pulmonary dysfunction are at a risk of postoperative respiratory disorders, including severe pneumonia.
