Significance: Multispectral imaging (MSI) is an approach for real-time, quantitative, and non-invasive tissue perfusion measurements. Current laparoscopic systems based on mosaic sensors or filter wheels lack high spatial resolution or acceptable frame rates.
Aim: To develop a laparoscopic system for MSI-based color video and tissue perfusion imaging during gastrointestinal surgery without compromising spatial or temporal resolution.
Approach: The system was built with 14 switchable light-emitting diodes in the visible and near-infrared spectral range, a 4K image sensor, and a 10 mm laparoscope. Illumination patterns were created for tissue oxygenation and hemoglobin content monitoring. The system was calibrated to a clinically approved laparoscopic hyperspectral system using linear regression models and evaluated in an occlusion study with 36 volunteers.
Results: The root mean squared errors between the MSI and reference system were 0.073 for hemoglobin content, 0.039 for oxygenation in deeper tissue layers, and 0.093 for superficial oxygenation. The spatial resolution at a working distance of 45 mm was . The effective frame rate was 20 fps.
Conclusions: High-resolution perfusion monitoring was successfully achieved. Hardware optimizations will increase the frame rate. Parameter optimizations through alternative illumination patterns, regression, or assumed tissue models are planned. Intraoperative measurements must confirm the suitability during surgery.

Objective: Recently, the pig liver model perfused ex vivo using a normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has been proposed as a suitable model to study xenobiotic metabolism and biliary excretion. The aim of our study is to describe the metabolism of NPS such as cathinones (with a focus on 4-Cl-PVP and eutylone) in blood and bile, using a normothermic perfused pig liver model.
Methods: Livers (n = 4) from male large white pigs, 3-4 months of age and weighing approximately 75-80 kg, were harvested and reperfused onto an NMP (LiverAssist®, XVIVO) using autologous whole blood at 38 °C.

'Organ-on-a-chip' technology is a promising and rapidly evolving model in biological research. This innovative microfluidic cell culture device was created using a microchip with continuously perfused chambers, populated by living cells arranged to replicate physiological processes at the tissue and organ levels. By consolidating multicellular structures, tissue-tissue interfaces, and physicochemical microenvironments, these microchips can replicate key organ functions.

Background: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare malignancies requiring extensive surgical resection, often leading to significant soft tissue defects. Flap reconstruction is crucial for restoring function and appearance. Recent reconstructive microsurgery advancements, including high-resolution indocyanine green (ICG) imaging and ultra-high-frequency ultrasonography (UHFU), have revolutionized preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance.

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of continuous perfusion of underwater bone grinding combined with a -shaped incision versus a microscopic posterior ear incision in the treatment of attic cholesteatoma. Clinical trials were prospective studies from the Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital. Adult patients with middle ear cholesteatoma requiring ear surgery agreed to participate between September 2019 and September 2023 (age > 18).

Background: Ischemic stroke is a common cause of death worldwide and a main cause of morbidity. Presently, laser speckle contrast imaging, x-ray computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are the mainstay for stroke diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in preclinical studies. These modalities are often limited in terms of their ability to map brain perfusion with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, thus calling for development of new brain perfusion techniques featuring rapid imaging speed, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.
