Background: Balloon trocar devices have been utilized in several surgical cases to reach a difficult-to-access location, achieve hemostasis, and obtain safe, efficient surgery.
Objective: Highlight the balloon trocar dissection device in a novel technique of scalp flap elevation for tissue expander placement.
Methods: The pocket for the tissue expander was determined at the scalp. A 2 cm vertical incision was made. A 12 mm balloon trocar is then introduced and insufflated. Through the trocar, endoscopic light is then inserted. Scalp flap elevation was performed with the device. The exact location of the pocket was seen with the lumination of endoscopic light.
Results: The balloon trocar dissection device provides easy scalp flap elevation and bleeding control. With the help of endoscopic light, the pocket for the expander was created precisely.
Conclusion: The balloon trocar device is simple, effective, low-cost equipment for tissue expander placement in the scalp.

Minimally invasive balloon-reduction of acute Hill-Sachs-lesions and impression fractures after shoulder dislocation - an experimental approach.

Background: The shoulder is the joint most often affected by dislocations. It is known that bony defects of the glenoid and/or humerus can lead to recurrent dislocations even after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization. To prevent recurrent instability, it appears reasonable to reduce fresh and larger Hill-Sachs lesions (off-track lesions).

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Technical report on intra-operative trigeminal root mapping in percutaneous lesioning for trigeminal neuralgias.
Acta Neurochir (Wien)
November 2024
University of Timisoara, Timisoara, Romania.
Purpose: Percutaneous lesioning-techniques for treating refractory Trigeminal Neuralgias not amenable to Micro-Vascular Decompression remain useful in neurosurgical practice. Success, avoidance of complications and reduction of side-effects depend on the accurate location of the lesion-maker especially for Radio-Frequency-Thermo-Rhizotomy (RF-Th-Rh). Added to X-ray-guidance, Intra-Operative Neurophysiology can be of significant help to achieve optimal accuracy of the surgery.

Aim: Technology improvement and a better understanding of sinus anatomy and wound healing in the past decade have allowed the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques. This systematic review focused on identifying and describing these techniques for vertical and lateral sinus augmentation (VSA and LSA).
Materials And Methods: Electronic and hand search were conducted to screen the literature published from January 2003 to May 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of two methods for cervical preparation prior to labor induction: digital insertion vs. speculum-based insertion of catheter balloons.
- It utilized various medical databases to find randomized controlled trials that met specific criteria, focusing on viable singleton pregnancies and excluding studies that didn't involve cervical balloons.
- The results indicated that while digital insertion was generally less painful and had comparable maternal satisfaction, overall outcomes showed no significant difference between the two methods, despite some concerns over study biases.
