Project description:Video 1Submucosal nodule in the cecum. After submucosal injection, a circumferential incision of the mucosa surrounding the lesion is performed with DualKnife (Olympus America, Center Valley, Pa, USA). The fore-balloon of the double-balloon endoluminal interventional platform (DBEIP) is deployed and the edges of the circumferential incision are attached with 2 endoscopic clips to the long suture-loop mounted on the fore-balloon of the DBEIP. The fore-balloon is retracted in anal direction, pulling the lesion into the cecum. Careful endoscopic submucosal dissection is performed with DualKnife and HookKnife (Olympus America). Dissection is markedly facilitated by traction and continued until the entire appendix is pulled into the cecum. The tip of the appendix is separated from surrounding tissues, resulting in a full-thickness cecal wall defect. The suture-loop holding the resected appendix is cut with LoopCutter (Olympus America). The resected appendix is removed through DBEIP and the Overstitch endoscopic suturing device (Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Tex, USA) is advanced into the cecum. The full-thickness defect in the cecal wall is completely closed with 2 continuous sutures. The final view demonstrates the entire resected appendix.

Project description:BackgroundThe epidermoid cyst as a pineal region tumor is an infrequent pathology and with few descriptions in literature. Its prevalence in the third ventricle is 0,0042% of all intracranial tumors. To achieve a complete exéresis we used an endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach, surgical technique for pineal region approach.ObjectivesThe purpose of this work is to show the surgical technique of this novel approach for the treatment of a very infrequent disease.Methods16 years old male patient with history of diabetes insipidus and chronic headaches (m-RS 1). Brain MRI showed a lesion with hyperintensity in T2WI and hypointensity in T1WI. It presents peripheral enhancement with gadolinium and restricted diffusion pattern in DWI. The pituitary stalk also showed enhancement with contrast. Germ cell tumor was a possible diagnosis but tumor cell markers were negative in CSF samples. We decided to make the purely endoscopic approach to the region to make a biopsy and a possible resection. Intraoperative pathology result informed an epidermoid tumor, so we continued with the complete exeresis of the tumor.ResultsWe achieved a complete resection of a third ventricle epidermoid cyst with a purely endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach and a skull base rigid endoscope in a 16 years old male patient. The patient has recovered without any sequelae, headaches free but persistence of diabetes insipidus (m-RS 1).Conclusion: The purely endoscopic supracerebellar-infratentorial approach is a safe option to the surgical management of third ventricle pathologies, in this case, an epydermoid cyst.

Project description:Bouveret's syndrome is a complication of cholelithiasis that presents with gastric outlet obstruction due to an impacted gallstone in the duodenum following cholecystoduodenal fistula. This is a rare presentation of biliary-enteric fistula; therefore, there are no standardized guidelines for the management of this disease. We present a case of a patient with Bouveret's syndrome managed with laparoscopic surgery after an unsuccessful attempt of endoscopic removal.

Project description:BackgroundTuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM), a common benign tumor in the sellae region, usually causes neurological deficits, such as vision impairment, by squeezing the peripheral neurovascular structures. Surgical management is recommended as the optimal strategy for TSM treatment and vision restoration. However, it remains challenging to resect TSM in the traditional transcranial approach (TCA). Recently, the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has emerged as an effective option in skull base surgeries. Besides the effectivity, the advantages and limitations of EEA in TSM surgery remain controversial.ObjectWe compared the surgical outcomes and complications between TCA and EEA surgeries to identify the principles in TSM surgical management.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on the patients, who underwent TSM surgery in Wuhan Union Hospital between January 2017 and December 2021. The patients were assigned to TCA or EEA group according to the surgery they experienced. All patients were analyzed with the extent of tumor resection, vision outcome, postoperative complications, and follow-up results.ResultsA total of 112 patients were enrolled in this study, including 78 in TCA group and 34 in EEA group. The mean follow-up was 20.5 months (range 3-36 months). There were no statistically significant differences in patient demographic data, preoperative symptoms, and tumor characteristics between TCA and EEA groups. Both TCA and EEA surgeries are effective in TSM resection with relatively high gross total resection rates (85.9% in TCA vs. 91.2% in EEA, p > .05). Meanwhile, EEA surgery has a better outcome in vision restoration or stabilization than TCA surgery (74.6% in TCA vs. 93.1% in EEA, p < .05). Whereas EEA surgery causes more occurrences of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage than TCA surgery (0% in TCA vs. 11.8% in EEA, p < .05).ConclusionBoth TCA and EEA surgeries are effective in TSM resection. EEA surgery has a better outcome in vision restoration or stabilization than TCA surgery, but induces higher risk of CSF leakage. As each approach has unique advantages and limitations, we must take all aspects into consideration, including approach feathers, tumor characteristics, and clinical requirements, to make the optimal choice in TSM surgical management.

Project description:Identification of the correct source of symptoms is the key in formulating the correct treatment plan for heel pain after calcaneal malunion. Calcaneofibular and posterior ankle impingements can occur due to malunion of a joint depressed-type calcaneal fracture. The purpose of this Technical Note is to report the technical details of posterior and lateral decompression through the posteromedial and posterolateral portals using posterior ankle endoscopy.

Project description:Duane retraction (or co-contraction) syndrome is a congenital restrictive strabismus which can occur either as an isolated entity or in conjunction with other congenital anomalies and is now listed as a congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder. It is characterized by co-contraction of horizontal recti on attempted adduction causing globe retraction along with variable amounts of upshoots or downshoots. It may have limited abduction or adduction or both and present as esotropic, exotropic, or orthotropic Duane. The diagnosis of this disease is usually clinical. However, recent research has provided a greater insight into the genetic basis of this disease paving a way for a greater role of genetics in the diagnosis and management. This disease can have a varied presentation and hence the treatment plan should be tailor-made for every patient. The indications for surgery are abnormal head posture, deviations in the primary position, retraction and narrowing of palpebral aperture and up- or downshoots during adduction, and sometimes also to improve abduction. The arrival of newer surgical techniques of periosteal fixation (PF) of lateral rectus (LR), partial vertical rectus transposition, or superior or inferior rectus transposition in addition to LR recession with Y-split has vastly improved the management outcomes, providing not only primary position orthophoria but also increased binocular visual fields as well.
