Article Abstract

The adoption of minimally invasive techniques for hepatocellular resection has progressively increased in North America. Cumulative evidence has demonstrated improved surgical outcomes in patients who undergo minimally invasive hepatectomy. In this review, the authors' approach and methodology to minimally invasive robotic liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma is discussed.

Robotic mitral repair is often associated with longer ischaemic and cardiopulmonary bypass times, particularly early in the learning curve. We demonstrate a semi-continuous, three-suture technique for robotic annuloplasty that retains the mechanical principles of traditional interrupted sutures while leveraging the advantages of robotic precision and exposure. The use of pre-knotted sutures minimizes intra-cardiac knot tying, further enhancing procedural efficiency.

Cystic lesions of the head and neck encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant entities, which often presents diagnostic challenges as a result of the region's complex anatomy. Despite extensive literature, variability persists in diagnostic strategies and approaches. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a commonly used and highly effective method for the initial assessment of these lesions by offering a minimally invasive technique to collect cellular material for diagnostic evaluation.

Minimally invasive surgical approaches for pneumothorax: evolution and current perspectives.

Expert Rev Respir Med

Introduction: PubMed was used for a literature search (1990-2025) on the minimally invasive surgical approaches for pneumothorax, which have evolved markedly, with video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) emerging as a preferred procedure. Systematic reviews of randomized control trials indicate that VATS is less invasive than traditional thoracotomy. Furthermore, uniportal VATS provides less postoperative pain and better cosmetic outcomes than thoracotomy.

Endothelial Colony-Forming Cells (ECFCs) are recognized as key vasculogenic progenitors in humans and serve as valuable liquid biopsies for diagnosing and studying vascular disorders. In a groundbreaking study, Anceschi et al. present a novel, integrative strategy that combines ECFCs loaded with gold nanorods (AuNRs) to enhance tumor radiosensitization through localized hyperthermia.
