Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.
Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.

Introduction: Numerous orthopaedic procedures including dynamic hip screw plating and various osteotomies require placement of a reference guide pin or K wire to direct bone cuts or for drilling screw holes. Appropriate positioning of these wires is a critical component of surgery. Irrespective of whether one is a seasoned surgeon or an apprentice, these wires often need repositioning and readjustment.

Background: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) results in less tissue damage than in other surgeries, but immediate postoperative pain occurs. Notably, facet joint widening occurs in the vertebral body after OLIF. We hypothesized that the application of a facet joint block to the area of widening would relieve facet joint pain.

Background And Aims: Several studies have hypothesized that sparing the oblique/sling fibers during posterior peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) may reduce the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and reflux esophagitis without compromising the established safety and efficacy of the procedure. This study compares perioperative, postoperative motility-related, and postoperative GERD-related outcomes between posterior oblique/sling fibers-sparing POEM (OFS-POEM) and conventional posterior POEM through a pairwise meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines to identify articles directly comparing posterior OFS-POEM with conventional posterior POEM.

Introduction: Different vessel diameters may challenge the completion of a high-quality anastomosis in microsurgery. In clinical practice, discrepancies in vessel size are commonly encountered. These variations can range from small to moderate, and microsurgeons typically employ established techniques, such as dilating the smaller vessel or creating an oblique cut in its wall, to address these differences.
