Article Abstract

Background: Numerous surgical techniques are currently available for minimally invasive left hepatic resection, each offering its own advantages and disadvantages.

Patients And Methods: This multimedia manuscript delves into the primary approaches for minimally invasive left hepatectomy, with a focus on particular topics such as left hepatic vein approach, transection and middle hepatic vein exposure, and Glissonean approach. We examine key factors that surgeons should consider when choosing among these methods and provide practical recommendations.

Results: To enhance understanding, our article includes video footage from multiple centres, showcasing expertly executed surgeries for each approach along with their main considerations.

Conclusions: This multimedia resource will serve as a valuable guide for surgeons, aiding in the selection of the most suitable strategy for minimally invasive left hepatectomies, tailored to the specific needs of the patient and the characteristics of the lesion.

Simultaneous gastroepiploic artery to right coronary artery bypass and trans-catheter aortic valve implantation: case series.

Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases

Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) often receive TAVI alone. However, in cases of severe coronary lesions or anticipated difficulty in coronary access post-TAVI, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting may be necessary. We performed simultaneous gastroepiploic artery to posterior descending artery bypass and TAVI in two patients with severe calcification of the right coronary artery ostium which is unsuitable for percutaneous intervention.

Background: Microwave ablation is a new, minimally invasive technique for the treatment of thyroid nodules. Hyperthyroidism due to destructive thyroiditis is a known risk of microwave ablation, though it occurs in only a minority of cases. We report a rare case of a patient diagnosed with Graves' disease nearly six months after undergoing microwave ablation of a thyroid nodule.

Objective: The efficacy and safety of transcervical inflatable mediastinoscopic esophagectomy (TIME) in the treatment of esophageal cancer are unclear. The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TIME treatment for esophageal cancer and to compare it with thoracoscopic assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (TAMIE) for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Methods: A literature search was performed using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve articles published up to January 2024 to comparatively assess studies of TIME and TAMIE.

Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) is superior to open surgery when considering decreased blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospital stay, and similar or improved oncologic outcomes. However, operative limitations in laparoscopic hepatectomy have curved its applicability and momentum of complex minimally invasive liver surgery. Transitioning to robotic hepatectomy may bridge this complexity gap.

Background: Spinal epidural arachnoid cysts (SEACs) are rare, non-neoplastic pathologies that can cause compressive myelopathy. Preoperative identification of the exact fistula location is crucial for minimally invasive management.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 27 patients with SEACs who underwent "double-needle puncture myelography" to precisely localize the fistula before minimally invasive surgery.
