Onyx ®, A New Tool for Intraoperative Localization of Liver Lesions
We present the novel application of Onyx® on liver surgery.CURRENT STATUS: We present the case of a female, 55 years-old, whose medical history revealed an elective sigmoidectomy (pT3N1a). After 17 months of follow up, by PET-CT scan, the patient was diagnosed of a small intraparenchymal hypo-attenuated 13 mm tumor located at segment V consistent with metachronous colorectal liver metastasis. Open metastasectomy was performed, ultrasonography-guided Onyx® infusion was delivered the day after, intraoperative ultrasonography showed a palpable hyperechoic material with a posterior acoustic shadowing artifact around the lesi...

Immunotherapeutic Properties of Dexmedetomidine on Pain Management and Cardiovascular Function in Videolaparoscopic Cholecystectomies: A Randomized, Two-Arm, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Dexmedetomidine provided anti-inflammatory activity, sympatholytic effect and analgesia with cardiovascular safety. It reinforces the therapeutic nature of highly selective α2-adrenergic agonists when combined within anesthetic interventions.PMID:38383315 | DOI:10.1177/15533506241234591 (Source: Surgical Innovation)

Can Computerized Simulation be Used to Assess Surgical Proficiency in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgeries? A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: CS of laparoscopic CRS may be used in assessment of proficiency using performance metrics measuring economy of movement. CS may be a viable assessment tool in advanced surgical training, but further studies should assess utility of incorporating it as a formal assessment tool in training programs.PMID:38373603 | DOI:10.1177/15533506241232791 (Source: Surgical Innovation)

A Matched Comparative Analysis of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Remission Between Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy
CONCLUSIONS: RYGB demonstrates higher efficacy for T2DM remission compared to SG, regardless of baseline characteristics, T2DM severity, weight loss, and follow-up duration. Further studies are needed to understand the long-term metabolic effects of MBS and the underlying pathophysiology of T2DM remission after MBS.PMID:38252529 | DOI:10.1177/15533506241229040 (Source: Surgical Innovation)

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Recognition of Anatomical Landmarks and Laparoscopic Instruments in Transabdominal Preperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair
Surg Innov. 2024 Jan 9:15533506241226502. doi: 10.1177/15533506241226502. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLaparoscopic TAPP (Trans-Abdominal PrePeritoneal) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to repair inguinal hernias. Arguably, one important aspect to TAPP hernia repair is the identification of anatomical landmarks and the correct use of various laparoscopic instruments. There are very few studies regarding the use of artificial intelligence in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair and more specifically in TAPP. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of AI in the recognition of anatom...
