Inside to outside puncture following endoscopic localization-A novel technique to insert ports and create retromuscular space in eTEP for ventral hernias.

Purpose: Enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal plasty (eTEP) has been used worldwide to repair ventral hernias. This study aimed to describe a novel technique to insert ports and create retromuscular space in more detail.

Methods: From 2020 to 2022, 23 consecutive ventral hernia repairs were performed using the eTEP technique.

Psychosocial characteristics and HIV-related sexual behaviors among cisgender, transgender, and gender non-conforming MSM in China.

Background: While a growing number of studies focus on men who have sex with men (MSM), they typically ignore the heterogeneity of gender minorities within the MSM population. The recognition of new sub-groups among gender minorities (i.e.

Clock dial integrated positioning combined with single utility port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a new localization method for lung tumors.

Background: Preoperative localization of lung tumor mainly consisted of two methods: CT-guided percutaneous localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization. However, these invasive methods could result in serious complications. In order to avoid the adverse effects of preoperative invasive localization, we propose a method of intraoperative noninvasive localization for lung tumors: clock dial integrated positioning (CDIP).
