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.

Background: Oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant histopathological subtype of oesophageal cancer across the world, representing as many as 90% of all cases; however, within Western cohorts, it is a low-prevalence disease, and, as such, appropriately powered trials to establish a standard treatment paradigm in this population remain challenging. The aim of this study was to assess current practices and compare outcomes for patients with locally advanced oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma across the UK and Ireland.

Methods: This was a retrospective multicentre cohort study of patients managed with curative intent for squamous cell carcinoma of the middle or distal oesophagus in 23 hospitals across the UK and Ireland.
