ABSTRACT
@#Along with the popularity of low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening, an increasing number of early-stage lung cancers are detected. Radical lobectomy with systematic nodal dissection (SND) remains the standard-of-care for operable lung cancer patients. However, whether SND should be performed on non-metastatic lymph nodes remains controversy. Unnecessary lymph node dissection can increase the difficulty of surgery while also causing additional surgical damage. In addition, non-metastatic lymph nodes have been recently reported to play a key role in immunotherapy. How to reduce the surgical damage of mediastinal lymph node dissection for early-stage lung cancer patients is pivotal for modern concept of "minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer 3.0". The selective mediastinal lymph node dissection strategy aims to dissect lymph nodes with tumor metastasis while preserving normal mediastinal lymph nodes. Previous studies have shown that combination of specific tumor segment site, radiology and intraoperative frozen pathology characteristics can accurately predict the pattern of mediastinal lymph node metastasis. The personalized selective mediastinal lymph node dissection strategy formed from this has been successfully validated in a recent prospective clinical trial, providing an important basis for early-stage lung cancer patients to receive more personalized selective lymph node dissection with "precision surgery" strategies.
ABSTRACT
The diagnosis and treatment of complex biliary and pancreatic diseases is still one of the major problems and challenges faced by modern medicine. The concept of "precision surgery" proposed by academician Jiahong Dong provides a new way to solve this problem. With the rapid development of biliary and pancreatic endoscopy, it has become an important vehicle for the diagnosis and treatment of complex biliary and pancreatic diseases. In recent years, the authors have combined accurate endoscopy with precision surgery in the treatment of clinical complex biliary and pancreatic diseases, achieving good effects.
ABSTRACT
Benign biliary strictures (BBSs) is a kind of difficult clinical problem in biliary surgery. Surgery and endoscopic treatment are common diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The rapid development of endoscopic technology challenges the traditional surgery. How to integrate surgery and endoscopic technology in an orderly manner and develop strengths and circumvent weaknesses requires a breakthrough in guiding ideas. The precision surgery, with the characteristics of certainty, predictability, controllability, standardization, individualization and systematization, has become an ideal choice for integrating surgery and endoscopic technology. Based on clinical practice, the authors discuss the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment strategy of BBSs from the perspective of precision surgery by implementing the core elements of precision surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze and summarize the application and significance of the computer-assisted surgery system in precision surgery of mediastinal tumors in children.Methods:The clinical data of 54 children that underwent mediastinal tumor resection surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2008 to November 2021 were collected.According to whether the Hisense CAS computer-assisted surgery system was used before the operation, the patients were divided into three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction group (29 cases, 53.70%) and two-dimensional (2D) CT group (25 cases, 46.30%). The surgical indicators, postoperative hospital stay, and the incidence of surgical complications were compared between the two groups.The t-test, Mann- Whitney U test, χ2 test or Fisher′ s exact test were carried out for statistical analysis.Simulated surgery and actual surgery were compared for both 3D reconstruction and 2D CT groups. Results:There were no significant differences in gender, age, height, weight, maximum tumor diameter and tumor location between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group (all P>0.05). The operation time of the 3D reconstruction group was [(125.14±41.37) min] was shorter than that of the 2D CT group [(149.24±44.53) min] ( P=0.044). The intraoperative blood loss in the 3D reconstruction group [15.00(13.50, 25.00) mL] was less than that in the 2D CT group [36.00(30.00, 75.00) mL] ( P<0.001). In addition, the indwelling time the closed thoracic drainage tube [4.00 (3.00, 5.50) d] and postoperative hospitalization days [(8.83±3.39) d] in the 3D reconstruction group were shorter than those in the 2D CT group [7.00(5.00, 11.50) d, (11.00±4.10) d] ( P=0.001, 0.038). No significant difference in postoperative complication rates was found between the 3D reconstruction group and 2D CT group ( P>0.05). The simulated operation was consistent with the actual operation in the 3D reconstruction group. Conclusions:3D reconstruction by the computer-assisted surgery system can truly reveal the anatomical relationship between tumors and surrounding organs and blood vessels, and improve the accuracy and safety of surgical resection of mediastinal tumors in children.
ABSTRACT
The concept of precision medicine has brought revolutionary changes to human health and medical treatment. In a broad sense, precision medicine is the application of advanced technologies such as gene sequencing, digital medicine, artificial intelligence, navigation technology, and biomedical engineering to clinical, basic, and public health medical research and practice. The purpose is to promote the continuous development of medical standards. The concept of precision surgery was first proposed by academician Dong Jiahong, who has played an exemplary role in the field of liver surgery for the oncology and other professional fields of surgery. The development and application of computer-assisted surgery systems have promoted the development of precision liver surgery. The digital liver three-dimensional reconstruction provides a new basis for liver vascular anatomy and liver segmentation, assists in the realization of individualized surgical planning, and the measurement of residual liver volume guarantees the safety of operation. The great progress of adult precision liver surgery has provided important help and guidance for the development of pediatric liver surgery. Compared with adults, pediatric liver tumors have their particularities. Pediatric liver tumors are often huge, complex in location, fast growing, and highly malignant. Most children do not have liver cirrhosis and are sensitive to chemotherapy. The liver volume changes greatly with age and weight. These differences determine that the treatment of liver tumors in children needs to adopt different models, and the diagnosis and treatment standards need to be improved. The authors elaborate on the topic of "from adult to child-the development and prospect of precision liver surgery" to promote precision surgery and comprehensive treatment of liver tumors.

ABSTRACT
Esophageal variceal hemorrhage is a severe complication of portal hypertension.Non selective-blockers and endoscopic variceal ligation have been utilized to prevent variceal hemorrhage as the first line therapeutic measures.The role of surgical approaches in the treatment of portal hypertension is still controversy.The selective shunt operation,devascularization operation,transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and liver transplantation have their own indications and limitations.Based on the precision surgical therapy,individualized selection of suitable surgical management on portal hypertension should be advocated to minimize invasiveness and cost-effect ration,maximize organ saving and outcome.For patients with extrahepatic portal hypertension,Meso-Rex bypass operation could be the preventive treatment method,surgical treatment could be applied to patients with regional portal hypertension.
