Each rabbit underwent suturing in both eyes, divided into four groups based on suturing techniques. The novel intrastromal suturing technique involved burying the entire suture material within the corneal stroma. Corneal neovascularisation (CoNV) areas were evaluated by image analysis and immune cell densities by in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM).ResultsThe intrastromal suturing group demonstrated significantly smaller CoNV areas at both 1 week and 1 month post-suturing compared to other interventional groups, indicating effective mitigation of CoNV development and progression. Moreover, this group exhibited lower immune cell densities in the superficial stromal layer and endothelial layer, suggesting a reduced inflammatory response. Both the loose suture and the knot exposure groups exhibited significant levels of CoNV and heightened immune cell densities.ConclusionThis experimental study demonstrated effectiveness of intrastromal suturing technique in limiting CoNV and immune cell infiltration, common contributors to graft rejection and complications. Furthermore, the study revealed that loose sutures and those with exposed knots are likely to cause more severe CoNV and inflammation, compared to the traditional interrupted suturing technique and intrastromal suturing.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"15533506251328456"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143812448","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}

Surgical intervention is often necessary, utilizing various techniques to reduce glandular and fatty tissue. This paper introduces an innovative surgical method combining power-assisted liposuction with the stab-flatten technique to enhance precision and cosmetic results. We present our clinical experience and evaluate its effectiveness in gynecomastia treatment.MethodsFrom June 2021 to January 2023, 128 gynecomastia patients underwent power-assisted liposuction and the stab-flatten method via a single axillary incision. We collected demographic and clinical data, including surgery duration, complications, and patient satisfaction regarding physical appearance, mental state, and social interactions. The BODY-Q questionnaire was used preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively for assessment.ResultsThe study included 128 male patients, treating 252 breasts, with an average age of 35 years and a mean BMI of 27.7 kg/m2. Most procedures were bilateral (96.9%), with an average fat removal of 224.5 mL and a surgery duration of 147 minutes. The complication rate was low at 2.0%, with bruises in 5 breasts. The average hospital stay was 2 days. Significant improvements were noted in BODY-Q scores for appearance satisfaction and health-related quality of life, with increased appearance satisfaction and reduced appearance-related distress.ConclusionSince June 2021, the combined use of power-assisted liposuction and the stab-flatten technique has been effective in managing gynecomastia. This synergistic approach not only achieves aesthetically pleasing outcomes but also minimizes the surgical risks associated with traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"118-126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142801597","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}

However, reaching above the diaphragma sella, especially for posterosuperior and retrocavernous orientation, still poses some challenges. We designed and developed a steerable tip suction cannula (STSC) that has distinct leverage for endoscopic resection of such pathologies.MethodsThe entire suction cannula is made of stainless steel. The instrument consists of a handle, vacuum tube, suction tip bed, suction tip, finger knuckle, wire path, countersunk headpin, and isolated steel wire. The working principle of the product is to enable the surgeon to move the aspiration tip in the desired direction by steering the finger knuckle. Five cadaveric specimens fixed with the saturated salt solution were used to evaluate the instrument and obtain measurements.ResultsIn the straight position, the STSC aspirated 2.67% slower than the control aspirator tip and 13.24% faster than that at 30° angulation. Based on the CT measurements, the mean angulation of the instrument from the frontobasal axis was 38.3°. The mean distance from the frontobasal axis was 1.3 cm. The average angulation of the tip of the instrument in the cranium was 25.5°.ConclusionThe designed STSC might effectively resect large to giant pituitary adenomas, especially those with supradiaphragmatic extension. Its suction capability is comparable to that of conventional suction tubes.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"149-154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955583","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}

However, this procedure is associated with loss of beta cells after intrahepatic transplantation. Islet delivery devices (IDDs) implanted at extrahepatic sites may support engraftment and improve survival of pancreatic islets. We assessed the surgical feasibility, tolerability and safety of implantation of open microwell devices at subcutaneous sites with varying friction in pigs.MethodsOpen, non-immunoisolating microwell islet delivery devices were made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). Empty (n = 26) and islet-seeded devices (n = 8) were implanted subcutaneously in 6 immunocompetent pigs in low-friction sites (abdomen and lateral hip) and high-friction sites (anterior neck) for 3 months. Retrieved grafts were analyzed histologically with haematoxylin and eosin, and Masson's Trichrome staining.ResultsIslet-seeding and transportation of IDDs was free from complications with minimal islet spillage. IDDs were implanted subcutaneously using standard surgical equipment, without complications during the surgeries. IDDs implanted in the neck and IDDs co-transplanted with human islets were expelled and retrieved after 10 days. Empty IDDs were removed after 3 months. The abdominal site showed reduced signs of inflammation as compared to the neck region, while similar tissue ingrowth and vascularization of devices were found in the two locations.ConclusionsOpen microwell IDDs can safely be implanted with standard surgical equipment and successful islet-loading can be performed.

However, physicians use CT-scan, X-rays, or MRI images to recognize bone cancer, but still require techniques to increase precision and reduce human labor. These methods face challenges such as high costs, time consumption, and the risk of misdiagnosis due to the complexity of bone tumor appearances. Therefore, it is essential to establish an automated system to detect healthy bones from cancerous ones. In this regard, Artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, shows increased attention in the medical image analysis process. This research presents a new Golden Search Optimization along with Deep Learning Enabled Computer Aided Diagnosis for Bone Cancer Classification (GSODL-CADBCC) on X-ray images. The aim of the GSODL-CADBCC approach is to accurately distinguish the input X-ray images into healthy and cancerous. This research presents the GSODL-CADBCC technique that leverages the bilateral filtering technique to remove the noise. This method uses the SqueezeNet model to generate feature vectors, and the GSO algorithm efficiently selects the hyperparameters. Finally, the extracted features can be classified by improved cuckoo search with a long short-term memory model. The experimental results demonstrate that the GSODL- CADBCC approach attains highest performance with an average accuracy of 95.52% on the training set data and 94.79% on the testing set data. This automated approach not only reduces the need for manual interpretation but also minimizes the risk of diagnostic errors and provides a viable option for precise medical imaging-based bone cancer screening.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"94-108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142829865","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 review aims to summarise the evidence regarding perianastomotic pH monitoring for AL detection.MethodsA systematic search of relevant databases was conducted to identify pre-clinical and clinical studies investigating pH monitoring for AL detection following GI surgery. Studies were screened by two independent reviewers based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and presented as a narrative synthesis.ResultsA total of 10 studies were included in the review, comprising animal studies (n = 2), and human studies in upper GI (n = 3) and colorectal (n = 5) patients. Consistent findings of lower pH values in patients with AL across various postoperative time points were demonstrated. There was diversity in the pH detection method, in addition to variable frequency and timing of pH monitoring. Four studies reported a shorter time for AL detection with pH monitoring vs conventional methods, although no statistical comparisons were used. No standard pH cut-off value for AL detection was identified.ConclusionpH monitoring shows potential as a diagnostic tool for the early detection of AL following GI surgery. While the existing evidence supports its potential utility, further research is required to establish standardised protocols and assess its clinical impact.","PeriodicalId":22095,"journal":{"name":"Surgical Innovation","volume":" ","pages":"180-195"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11894859/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
