Article Abstract
Objectives: While minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the preferred approach in patients with early-stage lung cancer, intraoperative adverse events (IOAE) may still occur. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a dedicated preoperative planning program on adverse event occurrence.
Methods: A single-centre cross-sectional comparative study was conducted, including all patients with proven/suspected lung cancer undergoing curative MIS, prior (September 2021-October 2022) and after (November 2022-January 2024) the implementation of a preoperative planning program. The preoperative planning program consisted of a weekly assessment of upcoming surgical cases, evaluating surgical strategy, anatomical variations and anticipating surgical difficulties. Data were prospectively collected. The primary outcome was the rate of IOAE. Secondary outcomes were conversion rate, healthcare-associated adverse events and postoperative morbi-mortality.
Results: We included 553 patients, 290 without preoperative planning and 263 undergoing a preoperative planning program. The overall IOAE rate was 11.4%, significantly lower after preoperative planning (7.6% vs 14.8%, P = 0.008). The overall healthcare-associated adverse events rate was 23.2%, significantly lower after preoperative planning (17.1% vs 28.6%, P = 0.0014). There were no statistical differences before and after preoperative planning for conversion rate (8.37% vs 10.7%, P = 0.354), complication rate (33.1% vs 34.5%, P = 0.73) and 90-day mortality (0.38% vs 2.07%, P = 0.126). Preoperative planning program impacted surgical strategy in 61/263 patients (23.2%) including a change in the extent of resection in 25/263 patients (9.5%).
Conclusions: Implementation of a systematic preoperative planning program in MIS for lung cancer decreases IOAE enabling an improvement in surgical safety.

Impact of TP53, KRAS, and APC Mutations on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Outcomes in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.

Department of Surgery, Asahikawa Medical University, Asahikawa, Japan.
Despite recent advances in neoadjuvant strategies for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), optimal chemotherapy regimens and the role of genetic biomarkers in guiding treatment remain unclear. Moreover, predictive markers are urgently needed for radiation-sparing strategies. Therefore, we aimed to assess the predictive and prognostic value of TP53, KRAS, and APC mutations in patients with LARC undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) by retrospectively analyzing 43 patients with LARC who underwent NACT without radiation.

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism, intraoperative characteristics, management, and prevention of incision capsular bag herniation (ICBH), a previously unreported complication during cataract surgery in eyes with lens subluxation.
Methods: A retrospective observational case series was conducted on five male patients who developed ICBH during phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation between January 2019 and December 2024. Among 867 subluxated-lens surgeries performed during this period, the estimated incidence of ICBH was 0.

Introduction Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of disability, particularly in aging populations, with an increasing incidence. Although osteosynthesis remains the first-line treatment, failures are common due to various complications. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred salvage procedure in such cases, despite its technical challenges.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of computed tomography (CT) on the preoperative planning of posterior malleolus (PM) fractures of the ankle, comparing its information with that of conventional radiographs and assessing its impact on surgical treatment.
Methods: The study included 81 patients with PM fractures, whose radiological and CT images were analyzed by 33 specialized orthopedic surgeons. The study had two stages, with a radiological assessment on the first, and the second having radiological plus CT evaluation.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the Paprosky Classification of Femoral Bone Loss using plain radiographs and two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) images with the femoral defect observed intraoperatively by the surgeon.
Methods: There were 14 hip surgeons from the same hospital who classified 80 patients with an indication for revision hip arthroplasty according to Paprosky based on plain radiographs in anteroposterior views of the pelvis and 2D CT images, reconstructed in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. We compared this data with the intraoperative findings of femoral bone loss by the same surgeons.
