Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

However, no standardized procedures have been established for the use of this system. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative nerve monitoring for recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and explore approaches to improve the precision and efficiency of intraoperative nerve monitoring in esophageal cancer surgery.

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a triad of therapies for patients: oxygen, nutrition, and patient positioning. In the progressive care units, patients were placed in a prone position while receiving continuous enteral nutrition (EN) to optimize healing and oxygenation. The study aimed to identify the rate of aspiration pneumonia in non-ventilated COVID-19 patients placed in a prone position while receiving continuous EN.

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.
