Segmentectomies Made Easy series: robotic-assisted right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

September 2025

Department of Thoracic Surgery, New Cross Hospital, Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, Wolverhampton, UK

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.

Segmentectomies Made Easy series: robotic-assisted left S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Multimed Man Cardiothorac Surg

September 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St George’s Hospital, St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK

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.

Dual-Tendon Transfer for Chronic Extensor Pollicis Longus Ruptures: Augmented Extensor Indicis Proprius Transfer with Proximal EPL Stump Lengthening.

JBJS Essent Surg Tech

September 2025

Division of Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery, Department of Orthopedics, Olympia Hospital & Research Centre, Trichy, Tamilnadu, India.

Background: Extensor indicis proprius (EIP) transfer augmented with proximal extensor pollicis longus (EPL) stump lengthening restores thumb extension and optimizes function in cases of chronic EPL tendon ruptures, which impair hand dexterity and fine motor skills. Traditional EIP-to-EPL transfers often disrupt the natural oblique course of the EPL around the Lister tubercle, leading to functional deficits. This dual-tendon transfer preserves anatomical alignment and improves thumb biomechanics, enhancing extension strength and the adduction moment arm at the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.

Background: When indocyanine green lymphography (ICG-L) fails to display a linear pattern, preoperative planning for lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) becomes challenging. Given the anatomical symmetry of lymphatics in extremities, the healthy limb can serve as a template for the affected one. This study introduces an accessible technique that uses augmented reality (AR) to mirror the lymphatic anatomy of the unaffected limb onto the affected side to assist in surgical planning.

Non-rigid image-volume registration for human livers in laparoscopic surgery.

Quant Imaging Med Surg

September 2025

Department of General Surgery, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Background: The fusion of intraoperative 2D laparoscopic images with preoperative 3D scans offers significant advantages in minimally invasive surgery, such as improved spatial understanding and enhanced navigation. This study aims to enable augmented reality for deformable organs through accurate 2D-3D registration. However, achieving real-time and precise alignment remains a major challenge due to organ deformation, occlusion, and the difficulty of estimating camera parameters from monocular images.
