Article Abstract
In this study, we analyze the oncological and functional outcomes after minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic and robotic) for mid and low rectal adenocarcinoma. This is a narrative review of articles published from January 2019 to December 2024 in which we analyzed the rate of short-term oncological outcomes (quality of surgical samples), long-term oncological outcomes (recurrence rate, overall survival, and disease-free survival), and functional disorders (urinary, sexual, and bowel function) after minimally invasive surgery. The rates of complete mesorectum are 67.7%-92.8%, the rate of free circumferential resection margin is 94%-98.2%, and the rate of free distal resection margin is 99.4%-100%. The local recurrence rate is 2.3%-7.3%, the overall survival rate is 80%-95.6%, and the disease-free survival rate is 70%-86.4%. The rate of urinary disorders is 25%-26.5%, sexual disorders are 35%-80%, and bowel disorders are 17%-44.6%. This review demonstrates that minimally invasive surgery yields favorable oncological and functional outcomes. The continuous evolution in robotic surgery will increasingly lead to interesting implications for rectal surgery, thanks to less surgical trauma and better intraoperative visualization of nerves.

Department of Neurosurgery, Xingtai Central Hospital, Xingtai, China.
Objective: To investigate the prognostic significance of concurrent monitoring of serum S100 calcium-binding protein A12 (S100A12) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients with traumatic intracranial hematoma.
Methods: This prospective observational study included 198 patients with traumatic intracranial hematoma from Xingtai Central Hospital (February 2022-June 2024). Serum S100A12 and ONSD were measured at admission and postoperatively, and patients received minimally invasive therapy.
Optimizing Robotic Spleen-Preserving Distal Pancreatectomy: Strategies and Innovations to Enhance Safety and Efficacy.

Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Purpose: This meta-analysis compares thoracoscopic versus open thoracotomy repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF).
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from inception to April 2025 for studies comparing thoracoscopic versus conventional thoracotomy approaches. Two independent reviewers screened studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using appropriate tools.

Introduction: Brachytherapy has been used for the multimodal treatment of pediatric bladder-prostate rhabdomyosarcoma in the last two decades. The aim of this systematic review is to gather the current evidence about this innovative technique with a special focus on long-term outcomes.
Methods: According to PRISMA criteria, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for papers published between 2000 and 2022.
