Optimizing skull base defect repair: leveraging the reused nasoseptal flap as a reliable material.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: The escalating number of endoscopic skull base procedures necessitates exploring additional materials to reduce postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks in revision or staged surgeries. This study evaluates the effectiveness of reused nasoseptal flaps (NSFs) in such clinical scenarios.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who previously underwent surgery involving NSFs and later had revision or secondary skull base surgeries via endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) at a tertiary medical center.
Comparing the therapeutic efficacy of endoscopic minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery for early-stage breast cancer: A meta-analysis.
Open Med (Wars)
January 2025
Department of Breast and Nail Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital to Changchun University of Chinese Medicine, Changchun 130021, Jilin, China.
Background: Early-stage breast cancer requires effective surgical interventions. This meta-analysis compares the therapeutic efficacy of endoscopic minimally invasive surgery (EMIS) with traditional surgery, such as modified radical mastectomy.
Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and the Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome model, we systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library until July 19, 2023.
The learning curve for laparoscopic-assisted single-port mediastinoscopic esophagectomy: an analysis of proficiency.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, No.52 East Meihua Road, Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, 519000, China.
Background: Laparoscopic-assisted single-port mediastinoscopic esophagectomy is a safe and effective emerging minimally invasive esophagectomy, but little has been reported about the learning curve for this technology. The goal of the study was to determine the number of procedures to achieve different levels of proficiency on the learning curve.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from consecutive surgeries performed by the same surgeon at the same center from 2016 to 2021.
Evaluation of the efficacy of natural orifice specimen extraction surgery versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Department of Faculty Surgery No. 2, I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University), Moscow, Russia.
Aim: Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has gained significant importance in treating cancers. The current study is a meta-analysis that aimed to assess the short-term efficacy and long-term prognostic impact of NOSES and conventional laparoscopic (CL) surgery in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Method: Published reports in several medical databases up to February 2024 were searched and information pertinent to outcomes of NOSES and CL in retrospective and randomized studies to treat CRC was collected.
Endoscopic vein harvest is associated with worse but improving outcomes in infrainguinal bypass.
J Vasc Surg
December 2024
Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI. Electronic address:
Objective: The impact of great saphenous vein harvest technique on infrainguinal bypass outcomes remains a matter of debate, with no robust evidence favoring a specific technique over the other. This study aims to compare the outcomes of open vein harvest (OVH) with endoscopic vein harvest (EVH) in patients undergoing infrainguinal bypass surgery.
Methods: Patients who underwent an infrainguinal bypass from a femoral origin using a single-segment great saphenous vein between 2011 and 2023 were identified in the Vascular Quality Initiative infrainguinal bypass module.
