Background: We aim to compare early surgical results between groups who underwent minimally invasive surgery (MIS) vs open first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) arthrodesis to treat end-stage hallux rigidus.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort review of 65 patients who underwent a first MTP fusion procedure at an academic medical center between 2015 and 2023. Success of fusion was determined radiographically. Postoperative complications were identified through medical record review.
Results: Sixty-seven first MTP fusion surgeries (41 open and 26 MIS) were performed on 65 patients with a primary diagnosis of hallux rigidus. Open surgery and MIS groups had similarly high fusion rates: 95% (39/41) and 96% (25/26), respectively ( = .84). We identified no difference in overall complication rates: 20% for open surgery and 23% for MIS ( = .73).
Conclusion: This retrospective analysis of 67 first MTP arthrodesis procedures showed no significant differences in fusion success or complications in the short term when comparing MIS to open surgery. Further studies are needed to elucidate potential differences between MIS vs open surgery.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Background: Adult-type granulosa cell tumors are a rare form of ovarian cancer, 30% of which will recur. Cytoreductive surgery is often performed at the time of a first recurrence, but little is known about the impact of open versus minimally invasive surgical approaches on survival outcomes.
Objective: To examine associations between surgical approach, clinical variables, and survival outcomes among patients with adult-type granulosa cell tumors who underwent cytoreductive surgery at the time of first recurrence.

Study Design: Meta-Analysis.
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to pool the available data comparing MIS to open surgery for thoracolumbar fractures and provide a more comprehensive assessment on this topic.
Background: There remains a debate over whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or open fixation provides superior outcomes for patients with thoracolumbar fractures.

Introduction: Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) have been diagnosed increasingly often but still represent rare pancreatic neoplasms. Surgery is a potentially curative approach for patients with NF-PNETs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied more frequently for surgical resection of NF-PNETs.

Background Context: Lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) is a common surgical intervention for treating lumbar degenerative disorders. Increasing demand has contributed to ever-increasing healthcare expenditure and economic burden. To address this, cost-utility analyses (CUAs) compare value in the context of patient outcomes.

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing utilization of minimally invasive (MI) techniques, which provide the potential advantages of minimizing surgical stress, post-operative pain, and hospitalization duration. Nevertheless, the existing body of literature primarily comprises of studies conducted at a single medical site, which are of low quality and lack a comprehensive analysis of treatment techniques exclusively focused on spondylolisthesis. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to compare minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open surgery (OS) spinal fusion outcomes for the treatment of spondylolisthesis.
