Not every Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) is confined within the sella between the posterior and anterior lobes of the pituitary gland. Intracranial ectopic RCCs are extremely rare, with only seven cases reported in the literature. In this study, the authors presented a rare case of a symptomatic ectopic retrosellar RCC posterior to the pituitary gland, causing extensive clival erosion. The surgical nuances of the wide marsupialization of the cyst through intraoperative ultrasound-assisted endoscopic endonasal transclival approach are described, and a systematic literature review of intracranial ectopic RCCs is conducted.

Ultrasound guidance in the surgical removal of internal fixators after complete healing of limb fractures.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Ultrasound, The Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, #628 Zhenyuan Road, Shenzhen, Guangdong, 518100, China.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether ultrasound guidance can reduce the duration, blood loss volume and invasiveness of surgery for internal fixator removal.
Methods: The clinical data from 35 adults patients who underwent ultrasound-guided surgical removal of internal fixators after complete healing of limb fractures between June 2019 and April 2023 were retrospectively analysed and compared with those from 34 controls who underwent the procedure without ultrasound guidance. Data concerning the patients' demographic and clinical characteristics and surgical sites were collected.

Minimally invasive ultrasound-assisted evacuation of Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral hemorrhages: Retrospective observational single-cohort study.
J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
October 2023
Department of Neurosurgery, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Sassari.
Objective: To assess safety and efficacy of minimally invasive evacuation of Spontaneous Supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage (SSICH) by means of tailored minicraniotomies and intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) assistance.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 55 patients who underwent microsurgical evacuation of SSICH using minicraniotomy and iUS assistance, between January 2015 and January 2022. Surgical complications, mortality rate, recurrent bleeding, percentage of hematoma evacuation and reliability of iUS were collected and investigated.
Comparison of two different suction curettage methods in cesarean scar pregnancy treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is increasingly common and can have serious health risks; this study aimed to assess two different methods of ultrasound-assisted suction curettage for treating CSP.
- The study compared outcomes of 34 patients treated with traditional suction curettage and 32 patients treated with a modified version after a certain date, focusing on demographic information, clinical findings, and postoperative recovery.
- Results showed that the modified suction curettage led to less decrease in hemoglobin levels and a lower treatment failure rate, suggesting this method may enhance the effectiveness of the procedure in CSP cases.
Comparison of ultrasound assisted and intraoperative diameter measurement in acute appendicitis.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University Health Application and Research Center, Zonguldak, Turkey.
Detailed anamnesis and systematic physical examination are often relevant in the diagnostic routine of acute appendicitis. However, physicians are increasingly motivated to obtain radiological approval. Inherent limitations due to radiologists' experience and the presenting anatomy may result in contradictory outcomes between the described and intraoperative findings.
