Bariatric and metabolic surgery has become a primary treatment for decompensated obesity, with the number of procedures rapidly increasing in China in recent years. Various improved and novel surgical techniques have emerged. Given the characteristics of the Chinese obese population lower body mass index compared to Western populations and frequent pancreatic islet dysfunction laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass remains one of the mainstream procedures in China. Although the Procedural Guideline for Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (2019 Edition) has provided standardized surgical steps, mastering and routinely implementing the procedure in clinical practice continues to pose significant challenges. Compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is more technically demanding and requires a longer learning curve. To avoid suboptimal weight loss or severe postoperative complications resulting from non-standardized techniques, this article summarizes the authors' clinical experience, emphasizing key technical steps: creation of the gastric pouch, standardization of gastrojejunal and jejunojejunal anastomoses, hiatal closure, and full serosalization. These insights aim to improve procedural safety and therapeutic efficacy by offering a set of practical process optimization strategies.

Objective:To explore the causes and preventive measures of respiratory arrest following general anesthesia in children with obstructive sleep apnea （OSA）, in order to enhance the safety of OSA surgeries under general anesthesia. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical and follow-up data of four pediatric cases that experienced respiratory arrest after general anesthesia for OSA at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University from March 2020 to March 2022. Results:All four children exhibited varying degrees of decreased blood oxygen saturation, cyanosis, and loss of consciousness after OSA surgery under general anesthesia, with one case experiencing respiratory and cardiac arrest. Through emergency rescue measures such as oxygen supplementation, suctioning, positive pressure ventilation, awakening, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, all four children were stabilized. Follow-up after 2 to 6 months showed no complications. The main reasons for the occurrence are analyzed as: residual anesthetic drugs, characteristics of the OSA disease, and the unique aspects of the pediatric population. Conclusion:Children undergoing general anesthesia for OSA should be closely monitored for vital signs after surgery. If respiratory suppression occurs, active rescue measures should be taken to avoid serious consequences.

Apical microsurgery is accurate and minimally invasive, produces few complications, and has a success rate of more than 90%. However, due to the lack of awareness and understanding of apical microsurgery by dental general practitioners and even endodontists, many clinical problems remain to be overcome. The consensus has gathered well-known domestic experts to hold a series of special discussions and reached the consensus. This document specifies the indications, contraindications, preoperative preparations, operational procedures, complication prevention measures, and efficacy evaluation of apical microsurgery and is applicable to dentists who perform apical microsurgery after systematic training.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of inverted-Y urethral function-preserving holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) on stress urinary incontinence after surgery in patients with BPH. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 109 cases of BPH treated in our hospital from June 2022 to May 2023 by traditional HoLEP with preservation of the apical prostatic urethral valve (group A, n = 52) or inverted-Y urethral function-preserving HoLEP (group B, n = 57). We recorded the intra- and post-operative parameters, evaluated the urinary incontinence status and post-void symptoms according to the International Continence Society standards, and analyzed the effect of inverted-Y versus traditional HoLEP in improving the postoperative urinary incontinence of the patients. RESULTS: The incidence rate of stress urinary incontinence after catheter removal was significantly lower in group B than in A (10.52% vs 26.92%, P = 0.027), and so was it at 2 weeks after surgery (1.75% vs 11.54%, P = 0.037), and at 1 month postoperatively (0% vs 7.69%, P = 0.033). CONCLUSION For the treatment of BPH, inverted-Y urethral function-preserving HoLEP is superior to traditional HoLEP with preservation of the apical prostatic urethral valve in improving stress urinary incontinence after surgery.

With the development of surgical techniques, adjuvant therapy and neoadjuvant therapy, the survival time of rectal cancer patients after surgery has been significantly improved, but organ dysfunction is still an important problem affecting the quality of life of patients after surgery. With the continuous deepening of clinical research and practice and the updating of relevant theories, more detailed and reliable evidence-based medical evidence has been accumulated in the field of pelvic organ function protection in rectal cancer surgery, and has been continuously verified in the clinical real world at home and abroad. In order to further improve the awareness of domestic physicians on the protection of organ function during the treatment of rectal cancer, standardize the evaluation methods and surgical methods, reduce the incidence of organ dysfunction, and thus improve the quality of life of patients, Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons of Chinese College of Surgeons of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Section of Colorectal Surgery of Branch of Surgery of Chinese Medical Association, National Health Commission Capacity Building and Continuing Education Center Colorectal Surgery Committee, and Colorectal and Anal Function Surgeons Committee of China Sexology Association organized the discussion among relevant experts. On the basis of the 2021 edition of the Chinese Expert Consensus on the Protection of Pelvic Organ Function in Rectal Cancer Surgery, the recent evidence-based medical evidence was analyzed and summarized, and the definition, risk factors, evaluation methods, prevention and other issues of organ dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery were analyzed with reference to relevant domestic and foreign studies and combined with clinical practice. Proposed the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of pelvic organ dysfunction in rectal cancer surgery, and finally formed the "Chinese expert Consensus on the protection of pelvic organ function in rectal cancer surgery (version 2025)".

Tianhe procedure^® is a functional sphincter-preserving surgical approach developed for rectal cancer patients following radiotherapy. This technique involves extended proximal resection of the colon beyond the pelvic cavity, followed by anastomosis of the non-irradiated proximal colon to the distal rectum or anal canal. This strategy aims to reduce the incidence of anastomotic complications and postoperative bowel dysfunction. However, there is currently a lack of standardized practice guideline for implementing Tianhe procedure^® in China. Therefore, the Chinese Radiation Intestinal Injury Research Group, the Colorectal Surgery Group of Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the Anorectal Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Colorectal Cancer Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Colorectal Cancer Committee of China Anti-cancer Association, and the Gastrointestinal Surgical Branch of Guangdong Medical Doctor Association, have jointly convened a panel of national experts to discuss and establish this standardized surgical procedure. This standard, based on the latest evidence from literature, research advancements, and expert experience, focuses on key aspects of the Tianhe procedure^®, including its precise definition, indications, critical procedural steps, postoperative complications, and functional rehabilitation strategies. It aims to promote standardized implementation and broader clinical adoption of this innovative surgical technique.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application progress and clinical value of digital technologies in the surgical treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: By systematically reviewing domestic and international literature, the study summarized the specific application scenarios, operational procedures, and technical advantages of digital technologies [including preoperative three-dimensional (3D) planning, intraoperative real-time navigation, robot-assisted surgery, and 3D printing] in AS surgery, and analyzed their impact on surgical accuracy, complication rates, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Digital technologies significantly improve the precision and safety of AS surgery. Preoperative 3D planning enables personalized surgical protocols; intraoperative navigation systems dynamically adjusts surgical trajectories, reducing the risk of iatrogenic injury; robot-assisted surgery can minimize human errors and enhance implant positioning accuracy; 3D-printed anatomical models and guides optimize the correction of complex spinal deformities. Furthermore, the combined applications of these technologies shorten operative time, reduce intraoperative blood loss, decrease postoperative complications (e.g., infection, nerve injury), and accelerate functional recovery. CONCLUSION Through multidimensional integration and innovation, digital technologies provide a precise and minimally invasive solution for AS surgical treatment. Future research should focus on their synergy with biomaterials and intelligent algorithms to further refine surgical strategies and improve long-term prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress on knee laxity of biomechanics and prevention and treatment after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. METHODS: The domestic and international literature on the prevention and treatment of knee laxity after PCL reconstruction in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS: Different degrees of knee laxity often occur after PCL reconstruction, which can lead to poor prognosis in patients. The causes are associated with a variety of factors, including abnormal graft remodeling (such as differences in healing time and biomechanics among different types of grafts), tunnel position deviation (such as graft wear caused by the "killer turn" effect), and mechanical factors in postoperative rehabilitation (such as improper early weight-bearing and range of motion). These factors may promote graft elongation, increase early posterior tibial translation, and thereby induce knee laxity. CONCLUSION While PCL reconstruction improves knee stability, it is crucial to focus on and prevent postoperative knee laxity. However, current surgical methods are limited by factors such as graft characteristics, surgical technique flaws, and rehabilitation protocols, and thus can not fully correct the issue of abnormal postoperative laxity. Surgical techniques and treatment strategies still need further improvement and optimization to enhance patients' postoperative outcomes and quality of life.
