Background: This research discusses colloid cyst surgical concerns, with an emphasis on the value of a novel surgical classification based on anatomical sites. In the study, 59 patients who underwent surgical intervention between 2009 and 2022 and were diagnosed with colloid cysts via computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging participated.
Methods: There were more male cases than female ones (57.6%). The majority of patients presented with headache (79%), followed by abnormal gait (12%), visual blurring (5%), and seizures (4%).
Results: In this study, we present a new surgical classification based on anatomical locations, distinguishing 4 types: open Monro type (50.84%), closed Monro type (23.72%), retroforaminal type (13.55%), and interforniceal type (11.86%).
Conclusions: In summary, the surgical classification that has been suggested provides significant insights into the varied anatomical sites where colloid cysts might be found. Microneurosurgeons significantly need to be oriented about the possible sites of colloid cysts through this classification to achieve complete and curative resection and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

The dengue virus (DENV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus endemic to many tropical and subtropical regions. Over the past few decades, the global incidence of dengue has risen dramatically, with the virus now present in over 100 countries, putting nearly half of the world's population at risk. This increase is attributed to several factors, including urbanization, climate change, and global travel, which facilitate the spread of both the virus and its mosquito vectors.

: Postoperative pneumonia and complications significantly impact outcomes in thoracic surgery, particularly for patients undergoing lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study evaluates whether preoperative premedication influences the risk of postoperative pneumonia and overall complications. : This retrospective study included 346 patients who underwent lobectomy for NSCLC at the University Hospital Ostrava between 2015 and 2021.

: This study aims to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of the da Vinci Xi and hinotori™ SRS robot-assisted surgical systems for gynecologic disorders. : We conducted a retrospective study of 401 cases (43 benign uterine tumors; 88 pelvic organ prolapses; 270 low-risk endometrial cancers) of robot-assisted surgery performed at Kagoshima University Hospital between January 2017 and October 2024. Surgical factors such as the operative time, blood loss, and complication rates were analyzed and compared between the da Vinci Xi (332 cases) and hinotori™ SRS (69 cases) systems.

: Orthognathic surgery is used to restore a correct anatomical and functional relationship between the jaws, with postoperative nasal septal deviation (NSD) being a common complication of Le Fort I osteotomy (LF-IO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of NSD after LF-IO and to identify possible risk factors. : Pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 2018 to 2023 of 102 patients after LF-IO were analyzed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the preoperative clinical and hematologic variables, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), that can be used to predict malignancy in patients with atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) thyroid nodules; we further aimed to develop a machine learning-based prediction model. We enrolled 280 patients who underwent surgery for AUS nodules at the Wonju Severance Christian Hospital between 2018 and 2022. A logistic regression-based model was trained and tested using cross-validation, with the performance evaluated using metrics such as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
