Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of measures on coronal imbalance (CI) after circumferential minimally invasive correction surgery (CMIS) for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The measures introduced during surgery enabled sufficient correction of CI and were useful for preventing CI after CMIS for ASD.

Summary: Bone augmentation is in high demand in oral clinical treatment, but current strategies can cause patient suffering and psychological trauma. This study presents a new injectable hydrogel for microinvasive bone augmentation, which showed excellent physical properties and biocompatibility. In vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated the hydrogel's ability to enhance osteogenic differentiation and bone augmentation. These findings highlight the potential clinical application of the nanocomposite hydrogel in microinvasive bone augmentation.

Summary: This study presents the results of minimally invasive correction for symptomatic, fixed curly toe deformity using percutaneous dorsolateral closing wedge-shaped osteotomies. The procedure was found to be safe, simple, and effective, with improvements in varus inclination, shortening, and foot and ankle function.

Summary: This study reviewed the debate on surgical approaches for adult degenerative scoliosis, finding that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) was associated with reduced morbidity compared to open surgery, while open surgery provided greater correction of spinal deformity. Both approaches offered similar improvements in pain and function outcomes.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy and complications of ultra-minimal pinhole blepharoplasty in treating eyelid bags. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients treated between May 2018 and June 2021. The results showed that ultra-minimal pinhole blepharoplasty is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for eyelid bags.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of circumferential minimally invasive surgery (cMIS) and hybrid surgery for correcting adult spinal deformity (ASD). The results showed that cMIS had superior functional recovery and back pain relief at 2 years compared to hybrid surgery, but this difference disappeared at 3 years. However, at 3 years, cMIS was associated with milder leg pain symptoms compared to hybrid surgery.

Summary: NEMISIS plays a crucial role in managing diabetic foot pathology. With the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques and the redistribution of resources, the indications and timing for minimally invasive surgery will become more apparent. To improve patient outcomes and training opportunities for surgeons, reassessing multidisciplinary pathways and returning to cadaveric training laboratories and visiting fellowships are necessary.

Summary: This retrospective analysis evaluated the effectiveness of the Minimalized Erlangen Correction Method (MEK) in the treatment of pectus excavatum and compared it with the Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Excavatum (MIRPE) technique and other open surgical methods. The main focus was on patient satisfaction, operative trauma, flexibility in application, risk of complications, and patient safety.

Summary: The researchers developed a checklist called the Spinal Deformity Complexity Checklist (SDCC) to assess the difficulty in performing minimally invasive surgery for adult spinal deformity. The checklist includes radiographic and patient-related characteristics that can affect the complexity of the surgery. If a patient scores 4 in any characteristic, open surgery may be a better alternative.

Summary: Through a review study, it was found that minimally invasive spinal surgeries tend to have lower costs, better surgical outcomes, and faster recovery compared to equivalent open surgical techniques. However, inconsistent cost reporting makes it difficult to determine whether the use of minimally invasive techniques leads to better cost-effectiveness.

Summary: ACR and PSO showed differences in stability, with the 4R technique increasing stability in ACR and decreasing RS. Further long-term clinical studies are needed to assess the durability of ACR technique in deformity correction.

Summary: The authors developed the Minimally Invasive Interbody Selection Algorithm (MIISA) based on a retrospective data set of circumferential MIS for adult spinal deformity (ASD) to assist in rational decision-making. Surgeons generally preferred different interbody approaches at different lumbar levels, with substantial agreement achieved in the algorithm creation process. Segmental lordosis outcomes varied based on the interbody approach used, with greater increases reported using certain approaches at specific levels.

Summary: The study found that in patients undergoing surgery for ASD, the MIS group reported higher mental health and self-image scores at 6 months, but at the 12-month follow-up, both groups had minimal clinically important differences in back pain, leg pain, and functional status. Patient satisfaction scores did not differ based on surgical approach or intra-operative complications.

Summary: This study aimed to identify pre-operative radiographic parameters that could accurately predict post-operative alignment in minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The results suggested that pre-operative supine and extension radiographs could serve as a gold standard for alignment correction in this type of surgery, with extension alignment being the strongest predictor of post-operative alignment.
