Patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of transsphincteric fistula and complete data were included in the study. Patients with fistulas of non-cryptoglandular origin, incontinence, multiple fistula tracts, inflammatory bowel disease, or malignancy were excluded. The study involved 255 patients, divided into: MSLOFT (n = 31) and hybrid seton (n = 224) groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance age, gender, and body mass index between the groups, resulting in 30 patients per group.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the MSLOFT and hybrid seton groups regarding Wexner scores, incontinence rates, recurrence, or reoperation rates, in the overall cohort and after PSM. However, in the overall cohort and after PSM analysis, the operation time (P = 0.047) and follow-up time (P < 0.001) of the MSLOFT group were significantly longer. Recurrence was noted in 3 MSLOFT patients and 2 hybrid seton patients after PSM.ConclusionMSLOFT is a feasible and effective sphincter-preserving technique for transsphincteric anal fistulas, providing low recurrence and incontinence rates similar to the hybrid seton technique.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"201-210"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of these 2 types of surgeries.MethodsColectomies for acute diverticulitis with a HALS or LCOS surgery were selected from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2022 Targeted Colectomy Database. After confirming a difference in propensity scores between the cohorts, they were matched using propensity score matching (PSM) based on preoperative factors. RStudio was utilized for filtering and performing the PSM, while Minitab was used for statistical analysis.ResultsWe identified 804 HALS colectomies and 284 LCOS colectomies. After PSM, both cohorts contained 284 patients. Absolute standardized mean errors for all matched factors were less than 0.1, confirming well-balanced cohorts. Following PSM, preoperative and perioperative factors were similar between both colectomy groups. Postoperatively, HALS surgeries had a shorter average length of stay (7.67 ± 0.38 vs 10.57 ± 0.41, P < 0.001) as well as lower rates of ileus (13.73% vs 22.54%, P = 0.007) and superficial surgical site infection (2.11% vs 5.28%, P = 0.045).ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first national database study comparing HALS and LCOS colectomies. After accounting for confounding variables, our PSM analysis showed the benefits of HALS colectomies for acute diverticulitis. Future studies may use single-center data containing risk adjustment profiles to create an even more uniform comparison.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"222-228"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This prospective comparative study evaluated the efficacy and relationship between laparoscopic origami crane training (LOCT) and the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) score using 3D vs 2D laparoscopy.Methods. From 2020 to 2023, fourth-year medical students at Asahikawa Medical University created 20 origami cranes (1 per day) in a laparoscopic dry box. FLS scores were assessed 5 times, corresponding to every fifth crane. Primary outcomes included LOCT production time, quality, and FLS scores, analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and repeated-measures ANOVA.Results. Eighteen participants were divided into 2 groups: 8 in the 3D laparoscopy (3D) group and ten in the 2D laparoscopy (2D) group. At the end of the study, the 3D group (16.5 min) produced cranes significantly faster than the 2D group (27 min, P = 0.02). Repeated-measures ANOVA showed that the production time, origami crane score, and FLS score improved over time. The 3D group had a significantly shorter production time (F (1, 16) = 8, P = 0.01). The origami crane score was not significantly different between the groups (F (1, 7) = 3, P = 0.13) but tended to be higher in the 3D group. No significant differences were found in the FLS scores between the groups for any task. A significant negative correlation between LOCT production time and FLS score in both groups confirmed that shorter production time correlated with higher FLS scores.Conclusions. LOCT is effective for extraclinical laparoscopic training and correlates with FLS scores. 3D laparoscopy may help beginners develop depth perception, improve bimanual and hand-eye coordination, and enhance LOCT effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"262-269"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143543572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that, with greater experience, the surgeon's judgement will improve, and the benefit of ICG will diminish.MethodsThis is a phase 2 single-arm trial of patients undergoing robotic-assisted segmentectomy for NSCLC tumours less than 3 cm. After isolating the diseased segment(s), the predicted intersegmental plane (Dp) was identified by the thoracic surgeon. After intravenous ICG injection, the true intersegmental plane (Dt) was revealed using NIF. The primary outcome was the average distance between Dt and Dp (Dt-Dp). Comparisons were performed across 3 temporal tertiles: tertile 1 (t1) comprised of the first 30 participants, and the remaining participants were divided equally for tertiles 2 (t2) and 3 (t3).

Virtual colonoscopy (VC) is a minimally invasive, safe and well-tolerated alternative procedure to traditional colonoscopy. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the findings of VC particularly in supine and prone positions as well as to contribute to the practical challenges of procedure.MethodsTotal number of 20 patients who underwent VC were included in this retrospective study. After proper bowel cleansing was achieved, intestinal dilatation was performed by injecting air into the rectum. Two different shots were performed in the supine and prone positions. Additionally, intestinal diameters were measured from the cecum to the rectum at their widest point via 2-dimensional coronal reformat.ResultsPolyps were detected in 3 patients which were confirmed by optical colonoscopy. The mean cecum diameter was detected as the largest diameter in the supine and prone examinations. In both supine and prone examinations, the distal descending colon was the most challenging site. Additionally, the mean descending colon diameter calculated in the prone position (40.9 ± 6.4 mm) was found to be statistically larger than descending colon diameter calculated in the supine position (36.1 ± 5.3 mm) (P = 0.001).ConclusionsOur findings clearly demonstrated that combination of prone and supine scanning provides clear field of vision on narrow parts of the colon which improves accurate estimation for polyp detection. Furthermore, VC appears to be more comfortable, safe, fast, and cost-efffective procedure for CRC screening with advantages of low radiation exposure, extracolonic findings and lack of sedation requirements.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"242-248"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143543574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
