Objective: To investigate the effects of the minimally invasive blepharoplasty in recreation of double eyelid for the patients of single eyelid or failed buried-suture-blepharoplasty.
Method: From September 2012 to January 2022, 392 female patients were involved in the study. They had primarily single eyelid or failed buried-suture-blepharoplasty. For the patients whose double eyelid partially or totally disappeared due to breakdown of the buried sutures, the minimally invasive blepharoplasty was performed to recreate double eyelid more than 6 months after primary operation. During the surgical procedure, four minimal incisions were made on the upper eyelid. After excision of some oculli muscles and orbital fat, the incisions were technically sutured to form double eyelid. The primarily buried sutures were also extracted through the minimal incisions in the failed buried-suture-blepharoplasty. The results were evaluated by the patients. The adverse effects were analyzed.
Results: The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 48 months. The newly created creases were consistent and natural. The scarring was inconspicuous after recovery. 93 % of the patients were satisfied with the results. The most common complication was swelling within first week and it subsided spontaneously after 1 month. Bleeding was found and treated by immediate pressing in a few patients. Asymmetry occurred in a few patients and was corrected after 6 months. No other severe complication was found.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive blepharoplasty is reliable for the young people who have single-eyelid or failed buried-suture-blepharoplasty. The newly created crease is natural-looking and long-lasting.

The Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery Tokyo Japan.
Background: The advantages of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RA-MIE) over conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-MIE) are unknown. This nationwide large-scale study aimed to compare surgical outcomes between RA-MIE and C-MIE using rigorous propensity score methods, including detailed covariates and relevant outcomes.
Methods: This Japanese nationwide retrospective cohort study included RA-MIE or C-MIE for esophageal malignant tumors performed between October 2018 and December 2019 and registered in the Japanese National Clinical Database.

Aim: To compare minimally invasive and open surgery for older patients with gastric cancer.
Methods: This study included 464 consecutive patients with gastric cancer aged ≥75 years who underwent open or laparoscopic gastrectomy at our institution from January 2004 to December 2018. We performed propensity score-matching and compared short- and long-term outcomes between the two groups.
A miR-activated hydrogel for the delivery of a pro-chondrogenic microRNA-221 inhibitor as a minimally invasive therapeutic approach for articular cartilage repair.

Articular cartilage has limited capacity for repair (or for regeneration) under pathological conditions, given its non-vascularized connective tissue structure and low cellular density. Our group has successfully developed an injectable hydrogel for cartilage repair, composed of collagen type I (Col I), collagen type II (Col II), and methacrylated-hyaluronic acid (MeHA), capable of supporting chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) towards articular cartilage-like phenotypes. Recent studies have demonstrated that silencing may be an effective approach in promoting improved MSC chondrogenesis.

Persistent anterolateral ankle pain is a debilitating condition often associated with soft tissue impingement following inversion injuries. It can lead to significant limitations in daily activities and overall quality of life, particularly in individuals with chronic ankle instability. This systematic review examines the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive arthroscopic decompression techniques in managing anterolateral ankle impingement syndrome.

Magnetic ureteric stents offer a novel approach for simplifying stent removal, minimizing patient discomfort, and reducing procedural burdens. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized evidence from 12 studies involving 1,297 patients to evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnetic stent removal compared to conventional methods. Key outcomes included reductions in procedural pain scores, shorter removal times, and high patient satisfaction.
