Summary: The use of near-infrared fluorophores has promising applications in surgical oncology. The performance of dedicated camera systems is affected by the lighting condition of the operating theatre. LED and halogen lights have a detrimental effect on the diagnostic performances of the camera systems. Surgeons should evaluate the spectral contribution of the lights when implementing fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) into the clinical routine.

Summary: In this study, a nano-spray assisted photothermal imaging system was developed for in vitro cell discrimination and in vivo visualization of tumor position and border in real-time during surgery. Compared to conventional imaging techniques, this approach has the advantages of low cost, convenience, no radiation hazard, and avoiding the adverse effects risk of oral or intravenous contrast agent.

Summary: Objective image-guided surgery (IGS) devices are widely used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), but there are no studies analyzing post-market complications. This study aimed to characterize post-market complications associated with the use of IGS devices during sinus surgery. The analysis of US FDA's database revealed that less than 3% of medical device reports between 2016 and 2020 resulted in adverse events.

Summary: The survey highlights the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the training of medical and surgical doctors globally, particularly in non-virtual teaching methods, with a significant decline noted. Training of doctors in low or middle-income countries is associated with perceived inadequate supervision during invasive procedures.

Summary: This systematic review examined the use of standard-setting methods in simulation-based training of surgical procedures. Most studies considered and described how standard settings were established, but there were significant differences in study design, setup, and expert level classification. Surgical education is shifting towards competency-based education, with simulation-based training being increasingly used for skill acquisition and assessment.

Summary: This study aims to review the current approaches for classifying surgical skill levels and identifying skill training tools and measurement methods through a literature review. The existing surgical skill assessment approaches have been summarized, revealing various classification approaches and inconsistencies. To improve simulation-based training programs, a standardized interdisciplinary approach should be developed, specific skills for each surgical procedure should be identified, and appropriate measures for assessing these skills in simulation-based training environments should be refined.

Summary: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare soft tissue sarcomas that originate from mesenchymal tissue. The case report describes a patient with MPNST in the forearm who underwent microsurgery followed by image-guided radiation therapy, resulting in complete tumor disappearance at the 18-month follow-up.

Summary: Simulated surgical clinics based on the SECO framework help shift students' motivation towards intrinsic learning by emphasizing the importance of preparing for clinical practice. Students reported significant improvements in confidence and clinical skills through active learning methods, preferring simulated clinics to complement traditional tutorial-based learning.

Summary: There is no difference in the acquisition of basic robotic surgical skills between individuals trained in basic conventional or laparoscopic surgical skills. We believe surgeons mastery in laparoscopy is not needed before initiating robotic surgical training. However, basic principles of laparoscopy remain applicable to robotic surgery.

Summary: Multidisciplinary meetings play a crucial role in cancer care and surgical planning, and they also have an important educational function in training surgical oncologists. Implementing interventions to improve the educational content of these meetings, such as simulations or debriefings, can lead to higher satisfaction rates and improved learning outcomes for participants.

Summary: Integrative oncology has become a recognized medical subspecialty due to increased interest in using integrative medicine in modern cancer care. Acutherapy and mind-body techniques have been shown to improve quality of life and symptom control in oncologic patients, with recent guidelines endorsing their use in breast cancer patients. The evidence supports the applicability of these techniques for acute symptom management, particularly during the perioperative period for surgical oncology and surgery.

Summary: This study investigates the surgical burden of malignant disease in the Eastern Region of Ghana and finds a high prevalence of malignancy in the surgical population. It also highlights that over 13% of breast cancer patients admitted for surgery did not undergo a surgical procedure.

Summary: This study proposes a method to assist with EBUS localization by simulating EBUS images. The method utilizes a patient's chest CT scan to model the ultrasound signal propagation, generating simulated EBUS images that closely resemble those produced by a real device. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the method, which can generate images at a rate greater than real time and has been successfully integrated into an image-guided EBUS bronchoscopy system.
