Objective: To evaluate an endoscopic approach in the management of glomus tumor, and also to investigate and evaluate its appropriateness and feasibility.
Methods: Glomus tumors, also known as paragangliomas, are benign primary tumors of the middle ear. The advent of endoscopic ear surgery has provided new dimensions to the management of this highly vascular tumor. Retrospective analysis of six patients of glomus tympanicum, operated between July 2014 and June 2019, with modified Fisch classification Type A and B1, who were managed by a retroauricular transcanal endoscopic approach. Preoperative and postoperative analysis was done for these patients.
Results: The chief complaint was pulsatile tinnitus, which disappeared in five cases and reduced in severity in one of them. Hearing was improved with reduction in air-bone gap in all the cases. No major complications or recurrence were observed in any of the patients after 12 months of follow-up.
Conclusion: This endoscopic approach serves as a safe and reliable technique for tumor removal. It thus provides postoperative comfort for most of the patients.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chung Shan Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.
Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.
Role of endoscopic sequestrectomy in the treatment of therapy-resistant radiculopathy in patients with extreme obesity: technical note and case report.
J Spine Surg
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital Bamberg, Bamberg, Germany.
Background: Surgical treatment of therapy-resistant radiculopathy associated with lumbar herniated discs in patients with extreme obesity is a challenge for neurosurgeons. In addition to technical problems in surgery due to the abundant subcutaneous adipose tissue and perioperative risks, there are significant anesthetic risks when anesthesia is performed with a patient in the prone position. A surgical procedure should preferably be minimally traumatic and quick with minimal risks of complications.

Operating Room, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, 430071 Wuhan, Hubei, China.
Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies, which is commonly treated with curative surgical resection, often leading to intraoperative hypothermia. Therefore, this study aimed to compare and analyze the risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia associated with laparoscopic and open CRC resections under general anesthesia.
Methods: This study included 120 CRC patients admitted between January 2023 and January 2024.
Multistage deep learning for classification of Helicobacter pylori infection status using endoscopic images.

Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.
Background: The automated classification of Helicobacter pylori infection status is gaining attention, distinguishing among uninfected (no history of H. pylori infection), current infection, and post-eradication. However, this classification has relatively low performance, primarily due to the intricate nature of the task.
