Article Abstract
Objectives: Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) is one of the most recent fixation techniques that embody the concept of biological osteosynthesis. Several studies evaluating MIPO in dogs have been published in the recent years. However, there are few clinical reports of MIPO in cats and no description of the surgical approaches. The purpose of our study was to describe the safe corridors for plate insertion in cats using the MIPO technique.
Methods: The surgical approaches for the humerus, radius-ulna, femur and tibia were developed after reviewing the described techniques and surgical approaches for MIPO in dogs, while considering any relevant anatomical difference between dogs and cats. Following the MIPO approaches, the limbs were anatomically dissected and the relationship between proximal and distal positions of the implants and neurovascular structures was noted.
Results: The surgical approaches developed for the humerus and radius-ulna differed from what had been reported previously, because relevant anatomical differences were found between dogs and cats. Anatomical landmarks for safe plate application were described for all the major long bones in cats. No damage to vital structures following plate insertion was detected in the dissection.
Clinical Significance: In this cadaveric study, we evaluated the safety of the surgical approaches for MIPO in cats. By respecting the anatomical landmarks described in this report, damage to the neurovascular structures can be avoided performing the MIPO technique in cats.

Background: Assisted vaginal birth is a lifesaving procedure where health workers use special devices to expedite birth vaginally when some complications emerge, such as due to prolonged labor. When the use of assisted vaginal birth is possible and appropriate, it provides benefits over cesarean section. These benefits include shorter recovery, reduced hospital stays, lower risks of complications, cost savings, and greater likelihood of vaginal birth in future pregnancies.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as a leading technique for undertaking the most complex pulmonary resections, providing high-definition 3D visualization, advanced instrument control and tremor-free tissue handling. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform offers reduced peri-operative complications, shorter hospital stays and faster patient recovery. Nevertheless, sublobar resections, such as segmentectomies, remain both anatomically intricate and technically challenging, particularly when resecting multiple segments, as in this left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that consists of four interconnected phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This complex process is based on the coordinated actions of growth factors, cytokines, and other cellular interactions. However, conditions such as diabetes and chronic illnesses can disrupt this process and lead to nonhealing wounds or chronic ulcers.

Purpose: To share our clinical experience with conservative management of isolated spinal arterial aneurysms (ISAs) and to identify clinical scenarios where conservative management may be appropriate, in the context of a literature review.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of spinal angiograms from two German neuroradiology centers and conducted a systematic literature review of reported ISA cases. We analyzed demographics, clinical presentation, imaging findings, treatments, and outcomes.
