Abstract

ObjectiveTo systematically analyze the efficacy of ultrasound-guided mammotome minimally invasive surgery and traditional open surgery in the therapy of benign breast tumors.MethodsA computerized search retrieved original literature on the therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided mammotome minimally invasive surgery and traditional open surgery for benign breast tumors from authoritative databases, including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The search covered from database inception to January 2024, using a strategy of subject terms combined with free terms. The retrieved literature was screened, data were extracted, and quality was evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software.ResultsA total of 8 literatures were included in the study, and a total of 1909 patients with benign breast tumors were found from 2018 to 2023. The results of meta-analysis showed that the operation time [MD = -12.79, 95%CI (-14.04, -11.55), P < 0.00001], intraoperative blood loss [MD = -11.55, 95%CI (-14.74, -8.36), P < 0.00001], healing time [MD = -2.73, 95%CI (-4.03, -1.43), P < 0.00001] and complication rate [MD = 0.17, 95%CI (0.12, 0.26), P < 0.00001] was apparently different from traditional open surgery (P < 0.05).ConclusionUltrasound-guided mammotome minimally invasive surgery can effectively shorten the operation time of patients with benign breast tumors, reduce intraoperative blood loss, promote healing, and reduce the risk of complications. The effect is better than that of traditional open surgery.

Temporal evolution of minimally invasive pediatric urolithiasis treatment over 30 years.

Urolithiasis in children has increased substantially over the past 30 years, and surgical management maintains an important role in treatment. Technological advances such as lasers and miniaturization have broadened treatment options, and researchers investigate the best indications for each procedure. The aim was to identify publication trends in the field and explore reasons why Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy is being gradually less applied in the treatment of pediatric urolithiasis. A Reverse Systematic Review of the literature was conducted regarding the surgical treatment of urolithiasis in children. Five databases were screened, gathering all articles from inception that were evaluated in systematic reviews. We examined 123 publications, 197 reports, and 15,878 procedures, consisting of the largest studied population in the field. There was an increasing number of publications, although in progressively less prestigious journals. The number of studies on miniaturized percutaneous techniques and flexible ureteroscopy has increased closely with the rise in popularity of these procedures worldwide, mainly driven by studies from Asia, Europe, and North America. A trend of self-renewed interest is fueled by technological innovation and has led to fewer publications on Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy over the years. This review highlights the fact that, despite positive results in recent studies, the low popularity of ESWL within the scientific community is driving a decline in the technique's indications. Moreover, based on the findings of this study, key research priorities include continued reporting of high-quality outcomes, and technological progress in ESWL would contribute meaningfully to the field.

Contemporary surgical decision-making for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus in Switzerland: A national cross-sectional survey using standardized clinical scenarios.

BACKGROUND: Surgical management of hallux valgus and hallux rigidus is influenced by deformity severity, surgeon training, and evolving techniques. Previous surveys in Australia (2012), Switzerland (2015), and Israel (2023) using identical hypothetical cases demonstrated marked regional differences and a recent rise in minimally invasive Chevron-Akin (MICA). Whether these advances have altered contemporary Swiss practice remains unclear. METHODS: An electronic survey replicating the original questionnaire was distributed to members of the Swiss Foot and Ankle Society. Three standardized clinical cases were presented: mild hallux valgus, severe hallux valgus, and hallux valgus et rigidus. Respondents selected nonoperative versus operative management and specified procedures and fixation methods. Demographics, subspecialty training, and surgical volume were recorded. Current results were compared with prior Swiss data to assess temporal change. RESULTS: Eighty surgeons completed the survey (94% foot and ankle specialists). For mild hallux valgus, 87.7% recommended surgery; Scarf osteotomy remained most common (49.4%), followed by Chevron (21.0%) and Minimally Invasive Hallux Valgus correction (14.8%). Minimally Invasive adopters were predominantly mid-career (83% aged 41-50), high-volume surgeons. For severe hallux valgus, 95.1% favoured surgery; MTPJ arthrodesis was preferred (50.6% isolated; 11.1% with Lapidus), while Minimally Invasive Hallux Valgus correction was rarely chosen (2.5%). In hallux valgus et rigidus, 96% selected MTPJ fusion, most commonly plate-and-screw fixation (45.1%). Compared with 2015, fixation strategies evolved, yet procedure selection remained largely unchanged. CONCLUSION: Despite global expansion of minimally invasive bunion surgery, Swiss surgeons continue to favour established open techniques, particularly Scarf osteotomy and fusion-based strategies. Adoption of MIS remains limited and concentrated among high-volume, mid-career specialists, indicating a cautious national diffusion pattern. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV, survey study.

Minimally invasive versus open surgery for gallbladder cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is increasingly being used in gallbladder cancer (GBC) for radical tumour extirpation. However, there are conflicting results on the morbidity outcomes following MIS. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the post-operative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing radical surgery for GBC between MIS and open surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Studies comparing MIS (laparoscopic, robotic or both techniques) to open surgery were included. The databases of MEDLINE, Cochrane and EMBASE were searched from 2001 till March 2025. The primary end point was post-operative morbidity and mortality. The secondary end points were hospital stay, blood loss, operative time and R1 resection rates. Random effect models were used for analysis. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. RESULTS: Thirty-two studies (laparoscopic [n = 19], robotic [n = 6] or both [n = 7]) involving 8568 (MIS = 3287 and open = 5281) patients were included. For overall and major morbidity (Clavian-Dindo >/ = III), the odds ratio (OR) of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.46-0.78) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.52-1.0) respectively was obtained, favouring the MIS approach. Similarly, MIS showed lower odds for mortality [OR:0.62 (95% CI: 0.40-0.95)] compared to open surgery. MIS was associated with shorter hospital stay (less by mean of 3 days) and lesser blood loss (less by mean of 115 ml) but longer operative time (higher by mean of 5.8 min) and higher R1 resection rates (OR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.05-1.71). Oncological outcomes, however, were comparable. The certainty of evidence was very low to low across the studies. CONCLUSION: MIS for GBC was associated with relatively lower post operative morbidity and mortality with similar oncological outcomes but with a small but heightened risk of margin positive (R1) resection, especially in primary GBC. The certainty of evidence was very low to low across the included studies. Future prospective studies are needed to overcome the clinical heterogeneity and possible selection bias.
