Article Abstract
Purpose: To overcome difficulties with regard to anatomic discrimination of intrapelvic tumors and non-specific intrapelvic uptake (i.e. excreted activity in the urinary bladder) by early acquisition of FAPI-PET in prone position.
Methods: 15 patients with rectosigmoid (RSC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) underwent early-imaging Ga-FAPI-46-PET/CT-scans in prone position 5.9 ± 1.3 min after radiotracer injection. SUV and metric values for primary tumors, metastases, bladder and background tissues were measured. Tumor-to-background ratios (TBR) were calculated.
Results: Despite early acquisition, SUV was already high in tumors and metastases, leading to high TBR. A sufficient, on average at least 2.56 ± 0.66 cm, spatial distance between tumor and bladder uptake was observed in all cases.
Conclusion: An early-imaging protocol in prone position with Ga-FAPI-46-PET/CT presents a viable option for non-invasive staging of SCCA and RSC with high TBR and good spatial separation from the urinary bladder.

Introduction: There are no reports of patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy for esophageal cancer after undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer. We report the case of a patient who underwent subtotal esophagectomy and colon reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy using the mesenteric approach.
Case Presentation: A 71-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer.

Department of Urology, Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán, Santiago, Chile.
Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

However, no standardized procedures have been established for the use of this system. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative nerve monitoring for recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy and explore approaches to improve the precision and efficiency of intraoperative nerve monitoring in esophageal cancer surgery.

Background: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is a gold-standard procedure for managing complex kidney stones. It is traditionally performed in the prone position. Supine PNL offers benefits, such as enhanced ergonomics and simultaneous retrograde surgery.
