Summary: This study aimed to analyze patients' understanding and preferences for minimally invasive spine (MIS) versus open spine surgery through a retrospective questionnaire analysis. The results showed that patients who received a MIS approach were more likely to seek out their surgeons, had more confidence in their procedure, and reported fewer perceived disadvantages following their surgery compared to the open surgery group. Both groups of patients expressed a preference for MIS surgery in the future.

Summary: This study aimed to explore patients' opinions on the type of incision used in lumbar minimally invasive spinal surgery, comparing traditional incisions to three novel ones. The survey results showed that most patients preferred traditional incisions, while younger female patients were more concerned about the incision's appearance. Further research with a larger sample size and diverse demographics is needed to validate these findings.

Summary: The study found that minimally invasive spine surgery in elderly patients is associated with lower operative time, estimated blood loss, length of stay, and risk of complications compared to open surgery.

Summary: MIS for MESCC is a safe and effective approach for decompression and stabilization compared with standard open separation surgery. It significantly reduces blood loss during surgery. Although there is a trend toward a faster time to starting radiation treatment in the MIS group, both groups receive similar postoperative radiotherapy doses, with similar rates of local recurrence and hardware failure.

Summary: In patients with HCC, minimally invasive liver resection is associated with similar overall survival but improved short-term postoperative outcomes compared to traditional open liver resection. However, there is a higher rate of positive margins after MILR, which requires further investigation, and surgical procedures at academic institutions may help prevent these adverse outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the oncological and surgical outcomes of minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD) and open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) in patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The results showed that MIPD was non-inferior to OPD in terms of radicality, lymph node yield, major complications, and 90-day mortality. MIPD also had advantages in terms of blood loss, hospital stay, and operation time. These findings suggest that MIPD is a viable alternative to traditional surgery.

Summary: This multicenter retrospective study suggests that minimally invasive total pancreatectomy may be a valuable alternative to open total pancreatectomy, given the associated lower rate of major morbidity.

Summary: By comparing the long-term reoperation rates after Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) and Open Spine Surgery (OSS), it is found that MISS has the potential to reduce the need for reoperation.

Summary: Endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers comparable efficacy and safety with less collateral damage compared to conventional surgery. This article provides a comprehensive review and updates of ESS, including nomenclature, technical evolution, bibliometric analysis, recent changes in the spine communities, the prevailing of biportal endoscopy, and the future of endoscopic spine surgery.

Summary: The study compared the surgical outcomes of open central pancreatectomies (O-CP) and minimally invasive central pancreatectomies (MI-CP), finding that MI-CP had advantages in terms of operating time and postoperative blood loss, and was comparable to O-CP in terms of perioperative complications.

Summary: Spinal surgery is shifting towards a minimally invasive paradigm, driven by various factors. Advancements in intraoperative imaging and navigation technologies have enabled the increasing use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. However, patient-specific factors may render minimally invasive approaches unfeasible, prompting researchers to optimize patient selection for optimal outcomes in minimally invasive spinal surgery.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 125 cases of surgical treatment for spondylodiscitis of the thoracolumbar spine, with 37.6% undergoing percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and 62.4% receiving open surgery. The percutaneous approach had significantly shorter surgical time and lower intraoperative blood loss compared to the open surgery group.
