Background: Single-position prone transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (PTP-LLIF) is an evolving minimally invasive surgery technique that merges the biomechanical and anatomical advantages of prone positioning with the LLIF approach. While PTP-LLIF enhances lumbar lordosis restoration and operative efficiency by eliminating patient repositioning, it presents unique ergonomic and visualization challenges for surgeons. This technical report describes a novel modification of the technique using the Teligen camera to improve intraoperative visualization and reduce surgeon fatigue.

Syphilis cases are increasing in Japan, highlighting the urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnosis. In primary syphilis, serological tests may yield negative results, so direct microscopic observation of remains an important but often underused diagnostic method. We present a simple, widely accessible phase-contrast microscopy system, featuring a USB camera and monitor, enabling high-clarity, real-time observation of live wild-type treponemes directly from patient lesions.

Background: Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and bleeding are major postoperative complications that increase healthcare system costs. The use of Hemopatch® Sealing Hemostat has been shown to reduce the incidence of such postoperative complications. This technical report aims to provide neurosurgeons with the best recommendations for the effective use of Hemopatch® as a hemostatic and dural sealant in cranial and spinal procedures.

Auxiliary buttons are often required in clear aligner therapy for elastic traction. We introduce an adhesiveless flame-fusion technique for affixing auxiliary metal buttons to clear aligners, aiming to eliminate the extra chair time, occasional debonding, and translucent haze associated with resin adhesives. Round‑base stainless‑steel buttons are grasped with locking forceps, heated in an alcohol flame (~600-650 °C for 10-15 s), and immediately pressed with moderate manual pressure (~5 N) for 5-10 s onto 0.

Removal of large uterine fibroids traditionally requires extended midline laparotomy, leading to significant postoperative morbidity and poor cosmetic outcomes. While laparoscopic surgery offers a favourable outcome, it is not possible in case of large fibroids. Morcellation is a technique used in laparoscopic surgeries, which helps in the disintegration of fibroid into small parts before taking it out.
