Useful techniques have been previously described for the planning of safe transsacral-transiliac screws, but to our knowledge, no straightforward technique has been described for anterior pelvic percutaneous fixation. As this method of anterior ring fixation has demonstrated biomechanical and clinical benefits, we propose a preoperative planning technique for determining the corridor characteristics of the patient's superior pubic ramus/anterior column for fracture fixation with percutaneous intramedullary screws. This technique helps the surgeon assess what diameter of solid or cannulated screw the corridor allows and predict the length of screw needed.

Objectives: Although there has been rapid development in the field of three-dimensional morphological analyses of congenital heart disease, with the three-dimensional volume-rendered images providing visualization of the external vascular anatomy, the precise reproduction of "Swiss-cheese" ventricular septum is not well established. We created three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics based on multi-slice computed tomography of patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects for surgical decision planning of this difficult cardiac defect.

Methods: Seven patients with complex multiple ventricular septal defects were evaluated preoperatively using three-dimensional printed models and computer graphics to plan therapeutic interventions.

The heterogeneity in prognostic survival and treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) limits the accurate assessment of HCC-specific mortality. This study aimed to identify potential HCC subtypes through latent class analysis (LCA) to improve HCC-specific mortality prediction and optimize treatment recommendations. We analyzed data from 7746 HCC patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) databases, incorporating demographic and clinicopathological information and applying LCA to identify HCC subtypes.

Cholesteatoma is a progressive and destructive middle ear disease that can lead to severe complications such as hearing loss, bone erosion, and even intracranial infections if left untreated. Accurate preoperative evaluation is crucial for the successful surgical management of this condition. High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) has become the gold standard in evaluation of extent of cholesteatoma due to its ability to reveal anatomical details of the middle ear.

Difficult airway management in oromaxillofacial tumor surgery poses significant challenges for anesthesiologists. We present two case reports of patients with mandibular malignant tumors and maxillary osteosarcoma who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Preoperative assessment revealed a mass involving the right mandible, completely covering the inside of the mouth and invading the floor of the mouth in the first case, and a mass in the left maxilla extending to the zygomatic arch and orbital floor in the second case.
