Patient positioning interacts with a number of body systems and can impact clinically important perioperative outcomes. In this educational review, we present the available evidence on the impact that patient positioning can have in the pediatric perioperative setting. A literature search was conducted using search terms that focused on pediatric perioperative outcomes prioritized by contemporary research in this area. Several key themes were identified: the effects of positioning on respiratory outcomes, cardiovascular outcomes, enteral function, patient and carer-centered outcomes, and soft issue injuries. We encountered considerable heterogeneity in research in this area. There may be a role for lateral positioning to reduce respiratory adverse outcomes, head elevation for intubation and improved oxygenation, and upright positioning to reduce peri-procedural anxiety.

Simplified segmental scleral buckling without localization and cryopexy: A retrospective comparison with conventional segmental scleral buckling.

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Yunlin Branch, Yunlin, Taiwan.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to propose a simplified segmental scleral buckling (SSSB) technique that does not require break localization for less-experienced vitreoretinal surgeons.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study compared the clinical results of 46 conventional and 23 SSSB (conventional segmental SB [CSSB] and SSSB, respectively) procedures in a tertiary referral retinal center in Taiwan between 2008 and 2019. In the CSSB group, breaks were localized during surgery.
A Quasi-experimental Study of Optimized Retractor Management on the Incidence of Femoral Nerve Injury Following Gynecological Surgery.
Cureus

Anesthesiology, Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, JPN.
Background Femoral neuropathy is a significant postoperative complication in gynecological surgery that can severely impact patient mobility and quality of life. Among various mechanisms of nerve injury, retractor-induced compression against the pelvic sidewall has been identified as a particularly crucial causative factor. Despite this well-recognized mechanism and its clinical importance, few studies have investigated specific preventive strategies for this iatrogenic complication.

This technical note explores the novel use of an imageless robotic surgical system for simultaneous unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Knee osteoarthritis (OA) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency are common conditions that traditionally require separate management. The integration of robotic assistance offers enhanced precision in surgical procedures, addressing both medial compartment OA and ACL insufficiency in a single operation.
