Feasibility of the set-up for the different approaches in robotic head and neck surgery with the Versius Surgical System.

The Versius Surgical System is a next generation soft-tissue robot with instrument and endoscope arms split into individual modules. Despite its similarities with previous systems, the basic changes in the design raise concerns relating to the feasibility of the set-up for the different approaches in robotic head and neck surgery procedures. We used a complete unit with a surgeon's console and four modules on a training mannequin to depict the different configurations in the operating room. We tested transoral robotic surgery and the four basic configurations for the remote access to the neck: transoral/transvestibular, retroauricular, axillary and bilateral axillo-breast approaches. We obtained a high quality simulation for transoral robotic surgery, as well as for the usual remote access approaches, except for the axillary approach. We were able to obtain an optimal distribution of the modules around the surgical table and an adequate configuration of the joints allowing the instruments to reach their targets. The Versius Surgical System might be an alternative device for robotic procedures in head and neck surgery, although this needs to be proved in a clinical setting.

[Clinical and radiologic comparison between oblique lateral interbody fusion and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis].

OBJECTIVE: To compare the short-term clinical efficacy and radiologic differences between oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF) and minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 58 patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis treated with OLIF or MIS-TLIF from April 2019 to October 2020. Among them, 28 patients were treated with OLIF (OLIF group), including 15 males and 13 females aged 47 to 84 years old with an average age of (63.00±9.38) years. The other 30 patients were treated with MIS-TLIF(MIS-TLIF group), including 17 males and 13 females aged 43 to 78 years old with an average age of (61.13±11.10) years. General conditions, including operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, complications, lying in bed, and hospitalization time were recorded in both groups. Radiological characteristics, including intervertebral disc height (DH), intervertebral foramen height (FH), and lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), were compared between two groups. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the clinical effect. RESULTS: The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage, lying in bed, and hospitalization time in OLIF group were significantly less than those in the MIS-TLIF group (P<0.05). The intervertebral disc height and intervertebral foramen height were significantly improved in both groups after the operation (P<0.05). The lumbar lordosis angle in OLIF group was significantly improved compared to before the operation(P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the MIS-TLIF group before and after operation(P>0.05). Postoperative intervertebral disc height, intervertebral foramen height, and lumbar lordosis were better in the OLIF group than in the MIS-TLIF group (P<0.05). The VAS and ODI of the OLIF group were lower than those of the MIS-TLIF group within 1 week and 1 month after the operation (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in VAS and ODI at 3 and 6 months after the operation between the two groups(P>0.05). In the OLIF group, 1 case had paresthesia of the left lower extremity with flexion-hip weakness and 1 case had a collapse of the endplate after the operation;in the MIS-TLIF group, 2 cases had radiation pain of lower extremities after decompression. CONCLUSION: Compared with MIS-TLIF, OLIF results in less operative trauma, faster recovery, and better imaging performance after lumbar spine surgery.

Minimally invasive percutaneous anterior column screwing assisted by blocking screws for pelvic and acetabular fractures / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of percutaneous anterior column screwing assisted by blocking screws for pelvic and acetabular fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 13 patients who had been admitted from July 2019 to April 2022 for pelvic and acetabular fractures. There were 8 males and 5 females with an age of (49.1±13.3) years, 7 acetabular fractures (6 on one side and 1 on both sides; by the Letournel-Judet classification: 5 anterior column fractures on 6 sides, and 2 transverse and posterior wall fractures on 2 sides), and 6 pelvic fractures (5 complicated with pelvic posterior ring fracture; by the Tile classification: 1 case of type B2, 3 cases of type C1, and 2 cases of type C2). According to the anatomic zones of the anterior column, 5 fractures were at zone Ⅲ, 3 ones at zone Ⅳ, and 6 ones at zone Ⅴ. The time from injury to surgery ranged from 3 to 14 days, averaging (8.2±2.9) days. Anterograde anterior column screwing assisted by blocking screws was performed for all the 13 patients; the posterior ring was fixated with percutaneous sacroiliac joint screws for the 5 patients complicated with pelvic posterior ring fracture. The surgical time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, and intraoperative bleeding volume for insertion of anterior column screws, fracture reduction quality, and hip joint function at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:A total of 14 anterior column screws were inserted percutaneously in the 13 patients. For insertion of anterior column screws, the surgical time was (65.0±10.2) min, the intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency (63.5±14.5) times, and the intraoperative bleeding volume for each screw less than 30 mL. All the incisions healed primarily after surgery, without such complications as iatrogenic neurovascular injury or poor wound healing. All the 13 patients were followed up for (11.1±2.2) months after surgery. In the patient with bilateral acetabular anterior column fractures for which 2 anterior column screws had been inserted, one screw had to be removed due to its displacement at 1 month after surgery; no such complications as loosening of internal fixation or fracture re-displacement was found in the other patients. All fractures healed after (10.2±2.1) months. According to the Matta scoring for quality of fracture reduction, 7 sides were excellent, 5 sides good, and 2 sides poor; according to the Majeed scoring for the 6 patients with pelvic fracture at the last follow-up, the efficacy was rated as excellent in 4 cases and as good in 2 ones; according to the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel scoring for the 7 patients with 8 acetabular fractures at the last follow-up, the efficacy was rated as excellent in 4 hips, as good in 3 hips, and as fair in 1 hip.Conclusion:For pelvic and acetabular fractures, minimally invasive percutaneous anterior column screwing assisted by blocking screws can result in fine clinical efficacy, in addition to its easy procedures, safety and reliability.

There were 10 males and 4 females with an age of (44.8±12.5) years. By the AO/OTA classification for pelvic fractures, 5 cases were type 61-A, 4 cases 61-B, and 5 cases type 61-C; by the Nakatani classification, 1 case belonged to unilateral zone Ⅰ fracture, 5 cases to unilateral zone Ⅱ fracture, 2 cases to unilateral zone Ⅲ fracture, 3 cases to right zone Ⅱ and left zone Ⅲ fracture, 2 cases to zone Ⅲ fracture on both left and right sides, and 1 case to zone Ⅱ fracture on both sides. The time from injury to operation was (7.8±1.8) days. All the anterior pelvic ring fractures were fixated with a RPRIN. The time and fluoroscopic frequency for placement of every single RPRIN, quality of fracture reduction, and pelvic function and incidence of postoperative complications at the last follow-up were recorded.Results:A total of 18 RPRINs were placed in the 14 patients. For placement of each RPRIN, the time was (35.9±8.6) min, and the fluoroscopic frequency (22.8±1.9) times. No complications such as infection occurred at any surgical incision after RPRIN placement. According to the Matta scoring, the quality of postoperative fracture reduction was assessed as excellent in 7 cases, as good in 5 cases and as fair in 2 cases. The 14 patients were followed up for (18.1+1.5) months. Their X-ray and CT images of the pelvis at the last follow-up showed that the fractures healed well and the intramedullary nails were placed in the cortical bone of the anterior ring of the pelvis. According to the Majeed scoring at the last follow-up, the pelvic function was assessed as excellent in 10 cases, as good in 3 cases and as fair in 1 case. One patient reported discomfort during squatting 2 months after operation but the symptom improved 3 months later without any special treatment. No patient experienced such complications as displacement or slippage of RPRIN, or pain at the insertion site.Conclusion:RPRIN is effective in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures, showing advantages of small surgical incision, limited intraoperative fluoroscopy and short operation time.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects between proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) inverted and a posterior single plate in the anterior percutaneous minimally invasive internal fixation for distal humeral shaft fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 65 patients with distal humeral shaft fracture who had been treated from January 2018 to May 2021 at Department of Orthopaedics, The Second Hospital of Fuzhou. The patients were assigned into 2 groups according to different treatment methods. In the observation group of 30 cases subjected to anterior percutaneous minimally invasive internal fixation with PHILOS inverted: 20 males and 10 females with an age of (41.5±11.6) years; type A in 5 cases, type B in 14 cases, and type C in 11 cases by AO fracture classification. In the control group of 35 cases subjected to anterior percutaneous minimally invasive internal fixation with a posterior single plate: 23 males and 12 females with an age of (39.9±11.2) years; type A in 7 cases, type B in 17 cases, and type C in 11 cases by AO fracture classification. The preoperative general data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total incision length, fracture healing time, and shoulder and elbow VAS scores, Constant-Murley shoulder function score, Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS), and complications at the last follow-up were recorded and compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences either in operation time, fracture healing time, or shoulder or elbow VAS pain score, Constant-Murley shoulder function score, or MEPS at the last follow-up between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss was (59.7±26.6) mL in the observation group and (165.7±86.4) mL in the control group, and the total incision length was (10.7±2.1) cm in the observation group and (18.6±2.7) cm in the control group, showing statistically significant differences between the 2 groups ( P<0.01). There was no injury to the radial nerve or musculocutaneous nerves, incision infection or fracture nonunion in the observation group. There were 4 cases of iatrogenic radial nerve injury, 2 cases of incision infection and 1 case of fracture nonunion in the control group, yielding a complication rate of 20.0% (7/35). The difference in the incidence of complications was significant between the 2 groups ( P<0.01). Conclusion:In the treatment of distal humeral shaft fracture with anterior percutaneous minimally invasive internal fixation, PHILOS inverted has advantages of less soft tissue damage, less intraoperative bleeding, and a lower risk of iatrogenic radial nerve injury than the posterior single plate.

A clinical randomized controlled trail of an intelligent robot-assisted minimally invasive reduction system for treatment of unstable pelvic fractures / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To compare the short-term efficacy between our self-designed intelligent robot-assisted minimally invasive reduction system and conventional freehand reduction assisted by fluoroscopy in the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures by robot or fluoroscopy-assisted internal fixation with percutaneous screws.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to include eligible 35 patients with unstable pelvic fracture who were admitted to Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from December 2021 to October 2022. They were randomized into 2 groups. The observation group[17 cases, 10 males and 7 females with an age of (44.0±17.4) years] was treated with robot-assisted minimally invasive reduction, followed by robot-assisted or fluoroscopic internal fixation with percutaneous screws; the control group[18 cases, 12 males and 6 females with an age of (38.8±15.0) years] was treated with freehand reduction assisted by fluoroscopy, followed by robot-assisted or fluoroscopic internal fixation with percutaneous screws. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, successful reduction, reduction quality, incidence of surgical complications and postoperative functional scores.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there were no significant differences in the preoperative general data between them ( P>0.05). The intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency[(32.4±17.5) times] and fluoroscopy time [(19.8±10.4) s] in the observation group were significantly lower or shorter than those in the control group [(60.8±26.6) times and (38.2±16.1) s], and the rate of successful reduction in the observation group was 100.0% (17/17), significantly higher than that in the control group[72.2% (13/18)] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in intraoperative bleeding, operation time, reduction error, excellent and good rate of reduction after operation by Matta scoring, or Majeed functional score at 12 weeks after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures, since our self-designed intelligent robot-assisted minimally invasive reduction system can plan autonomously the reduction paths and accomplish minimally invasive reduction of the fracture with 3D images real-time monitoring, it is advantageous over conventional reduction methods in a higher success rate and less radiation exposure.

Reflections on nomenclature and expansion of surgical indications for endoscopic spinal surgery / 国际外科学杂志

In recent years, with the development and maturity of endoscopic technique, endoscopic spinal surgery represented by water media and optical rigid endoscope has been widely used in the treatment of many disorders in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. Endoscopic spinal surgery shows similar clinical effects as traditional open surgery or other minimally invasive procedures, and is favored by spinal surgeons due to its advantages of less trauma and rapid recovery after surgery. However, the large-scale application of endoscopic technique brings problems such as non-standard nomenclature and unreasonable indications. Therefore, this article will summarize the surgical nomenclature and indications of endoscopic spinal surgery, in order to provide a reference for spinal surgeons to understand and apply endoscopic technology reasonably.

This paper reviews various minimally invasive hematoma removal procedures and clinical nursing care based on traditional surgical treatment, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of surgical treatment for patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, selects appropriate surgical methods and formulates reasonable surgical strategies.

Efficacy of different surgical treatments for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in older adult patients and their effects on traumatic stress and cerebral edema / 中国基层医药

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of different surgical treatments for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in older adult patients and their effects on traumatic stress and cerebral edema.Methods:A total of 100 older adult patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage who received treatment in Zhejiang Xin'an International Hospital from January 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study. They underwent either craniotomy (craniotomy group, n = 50) or hard channel minimally invasive puncture drainage (minimally invasive puncture group, n = 50) according to the willingness of patients and their close relatives. Perioperative indexes, Barthel index after treatment, nerve injury indexes before and after treatment, prognosis related indexes, trauma stress indexes and brain edema were compared between the two groups. Results:Operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay in the craniotomy group were (147.21 ± 31.35) minutes, (289.74 ± 22.75) mL and (42.74 ± 6.82 ) days, respectively, which were significantly longer or greater than (41.88 ± 7.19) minutes, (4.62 ± 0.88) mL and (16.27 ± 4.02) days in the minimally invasive puncture group ( t = 38.73, 62.17, 23.17, all P < 0.001). Barthel index at 1 and 3 months after treatment in the minimally invasive puncture group was (63.11± 9.64) and (93.51 ± 11.38), respectively, which was significantly greater than (44.78 ± 8.85) and (81.29 ± 10.37) in the craniotomy group ( t = 3.17, 6.21, both P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in nerve injury index, prognosis index, trauma stress index and brain edema between the two groups (all P > 0.05). At different time points after treatment, each indicator in the minimally invasive puncture group was significantly superior to that in the craniotomy group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Hard channel minimally invasive puncture drainage exhibits advantages over traditional craniotomy in the treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in older adult patients. Hard channel minimally invasive puncture drainage can more greatly reduce injury to brain tissue, better control nerve injury and brain edema, and more remarkably improve patient's quality of life than traditional craniotomy.

Current status and perspective of ambulatory colorectal surgery / 国际外科学杂志

With the development of minimally invasive surgery and the application of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, the postoperative recovery of colorectal surgery was improved dramatically. Ambulatory colorectal surgery is gradually realized in this situation. In 2009, the first report of ambulatory colorectal surgery was published. And the results of several cohorts published in past 3 years showed that about one-third colorectal patients are the appropriate candidates of ambulatory colorectal surgery. Proper eligibility criteria, application of advanced minimally invasive surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery protocol, in combination with effective and strict complication surveillance and follow up after discharge, are the key points for the realization of successful ambulatory colorectal surgery. On the basis of reviewing and analyzing the history and current situation of daytime colorectal surgery, this paper will summarize the key point of daytime colorectal for clinical reference.

New insight into silicone oil in the era of minimally invasive vitrectomy / 中华眼底病杂志

Silicone oil is widely used in intraocular filling of fundus disease after vitrectomy, which improves retinal reattachment rate andpostoperative visual function of patients. With the era of minimally invasive vitreous surgery coming, the utilization rate of silicone oil filling is decreasing, however, it still plays an indispensable role in the surgical treatment of complex fundus diseases. In the process of using silicone oil, the indications should be strictly selected, and the potential risks should be fully considered and possibly avoided. The study of vitreous substitutes with certain physiological functions is currently a research hotspot in the field of fundus diseases.

At present, tamponade agent which being used in retinal surgery is mainly sterile air, gas and silicone oil. Sterile air is mostly used in the treatment of simple retinal detachment. Gas or silicone oil as tamponade is greatly applied for complicated retinal detachment. In recent years, with the application of micro-invasive vitrectomy under a wide-angle viewing system and perioperative anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs, application of intraocular filling materials also has changed. The application of silicone oil is significantly reduced. Percentage rate of gas as tamponade for retinal detachment is reduced. The application of sterile air as tamponade is rising. With selecting indication carefully and picking up the suitable air or gas, doctor will reduce the workload. It will also reduce the social burden and benefit patients.

Macular morphology and vascular parameters changes following micro-invasive vitrectomy in patients with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective:To observe the changes of macular morphology and blood flow after minimally invasive vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (sNPDR).Methods:A prospective clinical study. From January 2020 to April 2021, 17 consecutive sNPDR patients with 17 eyes who were diagnosed and received PPV treatment at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University were included in the study. There were 12 males with 12 eyes and 5 females with 5 eyes; the average age was 55 years old; the average duration of diabetes was 11 years; the average glycosylated hemoglobin was 7.9%. Before the operation and 1, 3, and 6 months after the operation, all the affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), standard 7-field fundus color photography, and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). An OCTA instrument was used to scan the macular area of the affected eye with in the range of 3 mm×3 mm to measure the central subfoveal thickness (CST), the thickness of the ganglion cell complex (GCC) in the macular area, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) vessel density and perfusion density in the macular area, macular avascular zone (FAZ) area, a-circularity index (AI). Before the operation and 6 months after the operation, the least significant difference test was used for the pairwise comparison.Results:Before the operation, 1, 3, and 6 months after the operation, the FAZ area of the macular area were 0.34±0.14, 0.35±0.10, 0.37±0.10, 0.36±0.13 mm 2, respectively; AI were 0.52±0.13, 0.54±0.11, 0.57±0.10, 0.60±0.11; CST was 282.6±66.7, 290.4±70.9, 287.2±67.5, 273.2± 49.6 μm; GCC thickness were 77.1±15.5, 74.3±13.9, 72.6±16.2, 78.5±18.3 μm; the thickness of RNFL was 97.9±13.8, 101.3±14.6, 97.7±12.0, 96.1±11.4 μm, respectively. The overall blood flow density of SCP in the macula were (16.79±1.43)%, (16.71±1.82)%, (17.30±2.25)%, (17.35±1.22)%; the overall perfusion density were 0.32±0.02, 0.32±0.03, 0.33±0.03, 0.33±0.02, respectively. After the operation, the CST increased first and then decreased; the thickness of RNFL increased 1 month after the operation, and then gradually decreased. Comparison of the parameters before and 6 months after the operation showed that the AI improved, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.049); the difference in FAZ area and the thickness of CST, GCC, and RNFL was not statistically significant ( P=0.600, 0.694, 0.802, 0.712); There was no statistically significant difference in the retina SCP blood flow density and perfusion density in the macular area ( P=0.347, 0.361). Conclusion:Compared with before surgery, there is no significant change in macular structure and blood flow density in sNPDR patients within 6 months after minimally invasive PPV.
