Article Abstract
An ossifying fibroma (OF) is a type of benign fibro-osteoma that rarely involves the sinonasal cavity. Recent developments in endoscopic sinus surgery allow the removal of large benign tumors from the nasal cavity and sinuses. Here, the athors report the case of a 48-year-old female who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia to completely remove a large OF involving the sphenoid sinus and nasal cavity. No recurrence was noted during the recent 3-year follow-up. Endoscopic resection of OFs is an excellent choice for very experienced surgeons, affording the advantages of direct observation as well as visual enhancement and magnification, thus reducing intra- and post-operative morbidity.

Clinical Outcomes and Prognostic Factors in Patients Undergoing Salvage Endoscopic Therapy for cT1N0M0 Local Failure After Chemoradiotherapy for Esophageal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Objectives: Salvage endoscopic therapy is increasingly recommended for localized, superficial failure at the primary site after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors associated with overall survival in patients who underwent salvage endoscopic therapy for cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy who underwent endoscopic resection or photodynamic therapy using talaporfin sodium at two Japanese institutions between 2012 and 2021.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether the 1-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STST) can be a predictor of postoperative complications following video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lung lobectomy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 152 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy. Preoperative evaluations included pulmonary function tests, the bendopnea test, and the 1-min STST.

Introduction: Appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare lesions which are generally incidentally discovered during or after appendectomies. Recent advances have refined their classification and improved diagnostic rates, highlighting their distinct pathologic and clinical presentations. The present study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms using data from the U.

Background And Aims: Despite therapeutic advances, resection rates in Crohn's disease remain high. Kono-S is a novel anastomosis for ileocolonic resections; however, its altered configuration may challenge standard endoscopic assessment, particularly in the absence of validated scoring tools. This study evaluated the endoscopic assessment of Kono-S anastomosis anatomy and recurrence stratification using Rutgeert's score.
