OBJECTIVE@#To compare the accuracy and effectiveness of orthopaedic robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery versus open surgery for limb osteoid osteoma.@*METHODS@#A clinical data of 36 patients with limb osteoid osteomas admitted between June 2016 and June 2023 was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 16 patients underwent orthopaedic robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted surgery group), and 20 patients underwent tumor resection after lotcated by C-arm X-ray fluoroscopy (open surgery group). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the gender, age, lesion site, tumor nidus diameter, and preoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores ( P>0.05). The operation time, lesion resection time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, lesion resection accuracy, and postoperative analgesic use frequency were recorded and compared between the two groups. The VAS scores for pain severity were compared preoperatively and at 3 days and 3 months postoperatively.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the open surgery group, the robot-assisted surgery group had a longer operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less fluoroscopy frequency, less postoperative analgesic use frequency, and higher lesion resection accuracy ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in lesion resection time ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up after surgery, with a follow-up period of 3-24 months (median, 12 months) in the two groups. No postoperative complication such as wound infection or fracture occurred in either group during follow-up. No tumor recurrence was observed during follow-up. The VAS scores significantly improved in both groups at 3 days and 3 months after surgery when compared with preoperative value ( P<0.05). The VAS score at 3 days after surgery was significantly lower in robot-assisted surgery group than that in open surgery group ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in VAS scores at 3 months between the two groups ( P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Compared with open surgery, robot-assisted resection of limb osteoid osteomas has longer operation time, but the accuracy of lesion resection improve, intraoperative blood loss reduce, and early postoperative pain is lighter. It has the advantages of precision and minimally invasive surgery.

Recognition of the caudate lobe and reflections on related issues / 中华消化外科杂志

The hepatic caudate lobe is located in the deep back area of the liver. Due to the unique anatomical position of hepatic caudate lobe, surgical treatment for tumor of hepatic caudate lobe is particularly difficult. Non-surgical treatment, such as ablation, transarterial embolization, etc, is also challenging for tumor of hepatic caudate lobe, and the therapeutic effect is inferior to that of surgery. Therefore, surgical resection is the only treatment for tumor of hepatic caudate lobe. The authors discuss the research history of hepatic caudate lobe, the problems of laparoscopic technique in hepatic caudate lobe resection, etc, in order to provide a theoretical basis for improving the concept of accuracy of laparoscopic caudate lobectomy.

Progress of research and technical in minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer / 中华消化外科杂志

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence and mortality are among the top of malignant tumors in China. Since Kitano et al com-plete the first laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in the world in 1992, the laparos-copic technology has developed rapidly. After more than 30 years of exploration and practice, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer in China has also made considerable progress. A large number of clinical studies at home and abroad have confirmed that laparoscopic radical gas-trectomy is no less effective than traditional open surgery in the short and long term. Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy has the characteristics of less trauma, faster recovery of gastrointestinal func-tion, less postoperative pain, and shorter average hospital stay. It has gradually replaced open surgery as the mainstream surgical method for gastric cancer. As the concept of surgical treatment for gastric cancer continues to update, emerging minimally invasive technologies continue to emerge, including robotic surgery systems and indocyanine green tracing technology, which are increasingly used in gastric cancer surgery, making gastric cancer surgery more minimally invasive and accurate, the quality of perigastric lymph node dissection and the domestic gastric cancer surgery technology further improving. Based on the relevant research at home and abroad, the authors review and summarize the latest progress in recent years with the topic of minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer, aiming to systematically describe the current situation and future prospects of gastric cancer surgery. It is believed that in the future, the clinical diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer in China will be more standardized, minimally invasive and accurate, more high-quality multicenter clinical research will be carry out and the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer will be further improved in China.

A case report of nasopharyngeal inflammatory myofibroblastoma in infant / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor （IMT） is a rare mesenchymal soft tissue tumor characterized by borderline or low-grade malignancy. It is rare childhood tumor with an average age of onset of 10 years old. It is even rarer in infants and toddlers, and the etiology and pathogenesis of this tumor are still unclear. The clinical presentation of IMT is non-specific and are related to the location of the tumor. When the tumor compresses adjacent organs, it can cause pain and functional impairment. According to the current literature, IMT is most commonly found in the digestive and respiratory systems, but also occasionally occur in the genitourinary system, head and neck, and limbs. At present, there have been no reports of nasopharyngeal IMT involving nasal cavity of infants and toddlers at home and abroad.This article reports a case of a massive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor involving the nasal cavity and nasopharynx in an infant. Plasma-assisted minimally invasive surgery was performed through multiple surgical approaches and achieved satisfactory therapeutic results. This case report may provide valuable reference for the treatment of similar diseases.

Research Progress in the Application of Ultrasound-Guided Robot in Minimally Invasive Surgery / 中国医学科学院学报

With the continuous advances in modern medical technology and equipment,minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is widely applied in clinical practice.Ultrasound (US) as a real-time,portable,and radiation-free medical imaging method can be used for the intraoperative guidance in MIS to ensure safe and effective surgery.However,the physical characteristics of conventional US fail to display some tissue structures of the human body due to the existence of gas and bone.US-based navigation can make up for the deficiencies by advanced imaging technologies including spatial orientation,image reconstruction,and multi-modality image fusion,being real-time,accurate,and radiation-free.Therefore,US-guided robots can achieve safe,effective,and minimally invasive operation in MIS.This paper reviews the studies of US-guided robots in MIS and prospects the development of this field.

The scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), 1 h pad test, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QoL) were recorded and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were observed. 【Results】 The scores of ICIQ-SF, IPSS and I-QoL and 1 h pad test significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (P0.05), but after treatment, the scores of ICIQ-SF,IPSS,I-QoL and 1 h pad test were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions were observed. 【Conclusion】 Pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with Kegel exercise training is safe and effective for SUI after minimally invasive surgery for BPH.

Incidence rate and protection strategy of sexual dysfunction after minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia / 现代泌尿外科杂志

In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has been rapidly developed and has become the first choice for the treatment of moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although it can significantly improve the lower urinary tract symptoms, reduce complications, and enhance security, postoperative sexual dysfunction(SD) is still common, which affects the patients’ quality of life. In this paper, we discuss the incidence rate of SD after BPH surgery, the protection strategy of sexual function, and how to choose reasonable treatment from the perspective of sexual function protection.
