Three-Dimensional Imaging of the Patellofemoral Joint Improves Understanding of Trochlear Anatomy and Pathology and Planning of Realignment
Three-dimensional (3-D) modeling using digital or printed models provides a unique perspective that caters to cognitive spatial ability in a way that can add to our understanding and mental representations of human anatomy. This is particularly useful in the setting of trochlear dysplasia, where the morphology of the groove can exhibit substantial variability and complexity. Using 3-D reformatted images and models, a pragmatic understanding of how morphology influences patellofemoral pathology can be gleaned.

The Morphologic Patella Entry Point Into The Proximal Trochlea Is More Lateral in Recurrent Dislocators Than Controls as Measured by Entry Point-Trochlear Groove Angle
The purpose of this work is to create a metric for evaluating the degree of laterality of the patella ’s entry into the trochlea, the entry point-trochlear groove (EP-TG) angle, and to evaluate if this laterality is associated with recurrent patella instability.

Earned Outcomes Correlate with Reliability-Adjusted Surgical Mortality after Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Predict Future Performance
Cumulative, probability-based metrics are regularly used to measure quality in professional sports, but these methods have not been applied to health care delivery. These techniques have the potential to be particularly useful in describing surgical quality, where case volume is variable and outcomes tend to be dominated by statistical “noise”. The established statistical technique used to adjust for differences in case volume is reliability-adjustment which emphasizes statistical “signal”but has several limitations.

Vascular Registries Contributing to VASCUNET Collaborative Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Outcome Projects: A Scoping Review
Vascular surgery registries report on procedures and outcomes to promote patient safety and drive quality improvement. International registries have significantly contributed to the VASCUNET collaborative abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) outcome projects. This scoping review aimed to outline the national registries in vascular surgery that currently participate in the VASCUNET collaborative AAA projects.

Effectiveness and Safety of Radiofrequency Ablation versus Liver Resection in the Treatment of Early-stage Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: During the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatectomy demonstrates superior clinical efficacy compared to radiofrequency ablation, particularly in its ability to control tumor recurrence. However, radiofrequency ablation presents with fewer complications and a higher level of safety. These findings can serve as a valuable foundation for clinicians when selecting the most suitable treatment approaches for liver cancer.PMID:38684504 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3155 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Analysis of Influencing Factors of Postoperative Quality of Life in Patients with Renal Cancer under the Continuing Care Model Based on the Omaha System
CONCLUSION: The quality of life of patients is not only affected by primary caregivers, underlying diseases, clinical staging, and medical expense settlement methods, but also positively correlated with self-efficacy and social support, and negatively correlated with coping styles.PMID:38684507 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3135 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Surgical Resection of Giant Chest Wall Chondrosarcoma Combined with Sandwich Chest Wall Reconstruction in One Case
CONCLUSION: The radical surgery of giant chest wall chondrosarcoma often leads to a large range of chest wall defects. Chest wall reconstruction needs to be carried out at the same time to restore the integrity and stability of the chest wall, to avoid chest wall softening and abnormal breathing, and to ensure the stability of respiratory circulation. Using the "sandwich" method for chest wall reconstruction, in which an anatomical plate is combined with hernia mesh and muscle soft tissue, and during which pleura, bony structure, and soft tissues are reconstructed, can provide more effective support for chest wall soft tis...

Efficacy of the Craniopharyngioma Resection via Expanded Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Approach in the Treatment of Complex Craniopharyngioma and Its Effect on Pituitary Function and Complications of Patients
CONCLUSION: The craniopharyngioma resection via EETS has a significant therapeutic effect in complex craniopharyngioma with a high total tumor resection rate and clinical remission rate, which can protect the pituitary function of patients and provide more benefits for patients.PMID:38684506 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3145 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Efficacy of Flexible Ureteroscopy Lithotripsy and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in the Treatment of Patients with Kidney Stones and Their Impact on Inflammatory Response and Renal Function
CONCLUSION: For kidney stones ≤2 cm, PCNL showed higher stone clearance rates on the second postoperative day. However, RIRS and PCNL demonstrated adequate long-term stone clearance at 1 and 3 months post-surgery. Both surgical methods are safe and effective, and RIRS is safer than PCNL. Compared with PCNL, RIRS is a new method of kidney stone operation, which has less trauma to the patient's body and fewer complications after the operation, speeding up the recovery process of the patient.PMID:38684501 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3175 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Correlation between Pain and Anal Defecation Function in Postoperative Patients with Colorectal Cancer and Related Factors Affecting Patients' Prognosis
CONCLUSION: LARS is strongly associated with the patient's pain level, and factors such as anastomotic position <5 cm from the anal verge, preoperative radiotherapy, anastomotic fistula, high VAS level, and low MTV level will increase the risk of concurrent LARS in patients.PMID:38684502 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3173 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

Sex Differences in Outcomes of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery with Accelerated Rehabilitation
CONCLUSION: We identified sex differences in the clinical prognosis and performance of perioperative patients undergoing hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery with accelerated rehabilitation. The perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation risk of male patients was higher than that of female patients, and the time to first defecation was longer in male than in female patients. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in women was higher than in men.PMID:38684503 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3169 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

The Value of Coagulation-Related Indicators Combined with Vascular Ultrasound Parameters in the Risk Assessment of Deep Vein Thrombosis after Secondary Traumatic Fracture Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Coagulation-related indicators and vascular ultrasound parameters can effectively predict the formation of DVT. Through the analysis of factors related to DVT formation, screening of high-risk patients for effective intervention may help to reduce the risk of DVT. Further verification in additional, large-scale clinical trials is advocated.PMID:38684500 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3177 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

To Compare the Anesthetic Effect of Remimazolam and Propofol in Painless Hysteroscopic Minimally Invasive Surgery
CONCLUSION: Intravenous induction of remimazolam at 6 mg·kg-1·h-1 and maintenance of anesthesia at 1-2 mg·kg-1·h-1 have less effect on hemodynamics, faster recovery time and lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with propofol when used in minimally invasive hysteroscopic surgery. Remimazolam can be safely and effectively used in this kind of surgery.PMID:38684498 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3291 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)
