The purpose of minimally invasive thyroid surgery is to perform refined surgery through an intelligent operating system, achieving minimal physical and psychological trauma for patients, thereby improving their quality of life. At present, the commonly used minimally invasive surgical methods are laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery, both by creating tunnels from a distance to the thyroid gland, requiring high technical requirements for surgical instruments and robotic surgeons. Regardless of the type of minimally invasive surgery, in the early stages of implementation, doctors have a process of exposure, understanding, proficient mastery, and innovative expansion of the system, instruments, operating methods, and surgical thinking. In this process, it is inevitable to encounter some erroneous operations, which are the main causes of medical safety adverse events, including complications, and bring a failed medical experience to patients. At the same time, mistakes can also cause psychological burden for robotic surgeons and have an impact on the development of new technologies. The occurrence of errors also depends on the open surgical experience and clinical adaptability of robotic surgeons, and experienced robotic surgeons can significantly reduce errors. With the innovation of medical technology and the urgent demand of patients for efficacy and beauty, errors should not be a factor hindering the development of minimally invasive thyroid surgery. This article will analyze the erroneous operations of robot surgeons, formulates countermeasures, and provides reference for the safe implementation of robot surgery, thereby promoting the development of intelligent precision minimally invasive surgery, and further benefiting patients with minimally invasive needs.

Surgery is an important means of clinical treatment of thyroid diseases. For thyroid diseases that have failed conservative treatment, surgical treatment is recommended. With the maturation of thyroid endoscopy technology and the increasing demand for cosmetic surgery, more and more thyroid endoscopic surgeries are being performed. Endoscopic thyroid surgery has the advantages of small incision, less bleeding, less postoperative complications, less scar tissue, and so on, which has been clinically recognized and approved. Although endoscopic surgery has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of thyroid diseases, how to effectively protect the parathyroid gland during surgery and avoid hypothyroidism is one of the difficulties that surgeons pay attention to. In this paper, the identification and protection techniques of the parathyroid gland during endoscopic thyroid surgery were analyzed, and summarized, in order to provide a reference for improving the protection techniques of the parathyroid gland during endoscopic thyroid surgery.

The residual pelvic floor cavity formed by laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer can result in some complications, such as spread of pelvic infection following anastomotic leakage, adhesive intestinal obstruction, and may increase the probability of radiation intestinal injury in case of postoperative radiotherapy. Reconstructing the pelvic floor can prevent the small intestine from entering the residual cavity, reduce the risk of intestinal obstruction and radiation induced intestinal injury; prevent or reduce the occurrence and severity of anastomotic leakage. Reconstructing the pelvic floor can also improve the anal function after low anterior resection to a certain extent and enhance the quality of life of patients. Direct suturing of the pelvic floor peritoneum and pedicled greater omentum flap graft transplantation are currently two commonly used pelvic floor reconstruction methods, which are relatively simple to operate, easy to promote, and worthy of routine application.

Objective:To analyze the significance of systemic immune inflammatory index (SII) combined with neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with stage Ⅳ gastric adenocarcinoma who received immunotherapy from January 2020 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 70 males and 20 females, aged from 36 to 80 years, with an average age of (53.76±15.58) years. The clinicopathological features and follow-up data were collected. SPSS 26.0 software was used to conduct statistical analysis. The critical values of NLR, SII, PLR and MLR were calculated, and the overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) of patients with different levels of markers were analyzed. The independent predictive factors of PFS and OS were determined, and the predictive value of risk factors for PFS and OS in patients with gastric cancer was evaluated.Results:The median follow-up time of all patients was 27.3 months, and the median PFS and OS were 10.0 months and 17.7 months, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of NLR and SII for predicting PFS and OS were>0.7, the critical values NLR were 4.75 and 3.85, and SII were 1154.67 and 887.90, respectively. PFS and OS in patients with high NLR, high MLR, high PLR and high SII were lower than those in patients with low levels. ECoG PS≥ 1, high NLR and high SII were independent influencing factors of disease progression or death. The AUC of the combination of NLR, ECoG PS and SII was 0.761, which was higher than that of any single factor. The fewer the number of risk factors, the longer the PFS and OS.Conclusions:NLR and SII are effective predictors of PFS and OS in patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving immunotherapy. Pre treatment detection of NLR and SII can provide reliable guidance for immunotherapy of advanced gastric cancer.

Objectives:To explore the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classfication of short-term (within 30 days postoperative) complications of distal major gastrectomy (DG) and the associated risk factors affecting this classification.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 230 patients with gastric cancer who underwent DG completed by the same operator at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2016 to December 2021. There were 159 males (69.1%) and 71 females (30.9%), aged from 31 to 80 years, with an average age of (61.69±10.91) years, all patients average body mass index was (23.59±3.46) kg/m 2. Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the count data between groups, and rank sum test was used to compare the rank data between groups. Multiple factors were analyzed by stepwise Logistic regression. Results:In this study, a total of 30 cases (13.0%) experienced CD grade Ⅱ or higher postoperative complications. Among them, 20 cases (66.7%) were grade Ⅱ, 8 cases (26.7%) were grade Ⅲ, and 2 cases (6.6%) were grade Ⅳ, Among the 30 patients with complications, there were 2 cases of simple anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of anastomotic bleeding, 3 cases of duodenal stump leakage, 2 cases of intra-abdominal infection, 6 cases of intestinal obstruction, 5 cases of pulmonary infection, 2 cases of incision infection, 2 cases of delayed gastric emptying, 3 cases of pulmonary infection combined with atelectasis, 2 cases of anastomotic leakage combined with intra-abdominal infection, and 1 case of pulmonary infection and intra-abdominal infection combined with intestinal obstruction. Pulmonary infection, intestinal obstruction, and anastomotic leakage were the main postoperative complications of DG. The surgical approach was an independent risk factor for postoperative complications ( P<0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the grade of postoperative complications of patients with different surgical methods( P>0.05). Conclusions:Pulmonary infection, intestinal obstruction, abdominal infection, and anastomotic leakage are the main postoperative complications of DG. The independent risk factor for complications is the surgical approach, but the surgical approach does not affect the CD grading of complications.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of placing a nasointestinal ileus tube (NTI) during extensive adhesive bowel obstruction (ABO) surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical and follow-up data of 60 patients with extensive ABO admitted to the Department of General Surgery of Daxing District Hospital of Capital Medical University from April 2019 to April 2021, of which 30 patients underwent intraoperative NIT intraintestinal alignment (observation group) and 30 patients who did not undergo NIT intraintestinal alignment (control group) during the same period. There were 12 males and 18 females in the observation group. There were 16 males and 14 females in the control group. The operation time, gastrointestinal function recovery time, discharge time, total effective rate and postoperative complication rate were compared between the two groups, and the quantitative data of the recurrence rate of intestinal obstruction at 24 months after surgery were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups. Numerological data were presented as cases (percentage) [ n (%)], and chi-square tests were used for comparison between groups. Results:All patients were successfully completed the surgery and discharged from the hospital. There was no statistically significant difference in total effective rate between the control group and the observation group( χ2=3.16, P=0.237). The surgical time in the observation group was slightly longer than that in the control group [(110.6±4.6) min vs (94.3±2.5) min, t=17.27, P=0.001]. The recovery time of gastrointestinal function and hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group[(8.13±1.00) d vs (8.70±0.70) d, t=2.53, P=0.014; (12.83±1.57) d vs (13.67±1.03) d, t=0.03, P=0.018]. The incidence of postoperative complications was lower than that in the control group (10% vs 30%, P=0.028), and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:Intraoperative application of NIT is safe and effective, and can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of postoperative intestinal obstruction.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP+ ) colon cancer, and the significance of CIMP status in the diagnosis and prognosis prediction in defective mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer.Methods:The keywords "colorectal cancer" "patient" and "CpG Island Methylator Phenotype" were used to search the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the GSE39582 was obtained, which included the clinical data of 585 patients with colorectal cancer and the sequencing data of the whole transcriptome of the tumor tissues. After excluding 72 cases with missing CIMP values, 513 cases were included for further analysis, including 278 males and 235 females, with a mean age of (67±13) years. According to the CIMP status, they were divided into CIMP+ group ( n=93) and CIMP-group ( n=420), then compare the differences in clinical characteristics, the Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare the overall survival and disease-free survival; 71 dMMR cases were divided into CIMP+ group ( n=43) and CIMP-group ( n=28), and the K-M curves were plotted to analyze the differences in overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS). Comparisons between groups were performed by t-test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test, and the difference in survival curves was tested by Long-rank test. Results:Patients in the CIMP+ group were significantly older than those in the CIMP-group [(70.84±12.60) years vs (66.21±13.08) years, t=3.18, P=0.002]. Right colon tumors originating from the CIMP+ molecular pathway were 9.3 times more likely to be CIMP+ than those of the left colon cancers ( OR=9.3, 95% CI: 5.2-17.9). BRAF mutant colon cancer originating from CIMP+ was 215.2 times more common than BRAF wild-type colon cancer originating with CIMP+ ( OR=215.2, 95% CI: 53.2-1906.7); and patients with dMMR colon cancer originated 12.8 times more common than patients with pMMR ( OR=12.8, 95% CI: 7.0-23.9). The difference between the CIMP+ and CIMP-groups was not statistically significant in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival ( P=0.590, 0.220). In the dMMR colon cancer subgroup, CIMP status did not correlate with patients′ overall survival and disease-free survival ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CIMP+ colon cancer patients were mostly of advanced age, with tumors originating from the right colon, mostly combined with BRAF gene mutations, and manifested as mismatch repair-deficient colon cancers. CIMP status had no correlation with TNM stage and survival of colon cancers patients. There was no significant difference in the survival between dMMR colon cancers caused by CIMP+ and those caused by MMR gene mutations.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic technology in the treatment of gastric cancer which using proximal subtotal gastrectomy and distal subtotal gastrectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 98 gastric cancer patients admitted to the Department of General Surgery, General Hospital of Huainan Eastern Hospital Group from January 2016 to January 2020, including 71 males and 27 females with an average age of (62.03±10.6) years old(ranged from 32 to 80 years). All cases were divided into proximal group ( n=28) and distal group ( n=70) according to different surgical methods. The proximal group was treated with laparoscopic proximal subtotal gastrectomy, while the distal group was treated with laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy. SPSS 20.0 software was used to analyze the differences in surgical related clinical indicators, postoperative complications, nutritional status, quality of life, and survival rate between two groups. Kaplan-Merier was used to draw survival curves, and Log-rank test was used to compare the survival differences between the two groups. Results:The number of lymph node dissection in the proximal group was less than that in the distal group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.02, P=0.045). The incidence rate of reflux esophagitis in the proximal group was higher than that in the distal group (57.14% vs 4.29%, χ2=35.75, P<0.001), the incidence rate of reflux gastritis was lower than that of the distal group, the difference was statistically significant(3.57% vs 22.86% P=0.035). The levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, and albumin in the proximal group were lower than those in the distal group after surgery, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.62, P=0.010; t=2.12, P=0.036; t=3.54, P=0.001). One month after surgery, the Karnofsky functional status score in the proximal group was lower than that in the distal group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.27, P=0.025). The postoperative 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates of the proximal group were 85.71%, 64.29%, and 46.43%, respectively, while the postoperative 1, 3, and 5-year survival rates of the distal group were 88.57%, 71.43%, and 57.14%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the survival curves between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The incidence rate of reflux esophagitis after laparoscopic proximal subtotal gastrectomy is higher than that of distal subtotal gastrectomy, and the number of lymph nodes cleared during operation is less than that of distal subtotal gastrectomy. Compared with laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy, the nutritional status of patients after proximal subtotal gastrectomy is significantly worse, but there is no significant difference in long-term survival rate between the two groups.

Objective:To investigate the effects of constant body temperature (37 ℃), constant room temperature (24 ℃) and cold liquid (20 ℃) on shivering and inflammatory response after holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscope.Methods:A total of 132 patients receiving holmium laser lithotripsia under ureteroscope treated in the Second People′s Hospital of Lianyungang City from July 2020 to July 2023 were selected as the study objects. According to the intraoperative lavage fluid temperature, they were divided into cold liquid group (20 ℃, n=44), equal room temperature group (24 ℃, n=44) and equal body temperature group (37 ℃, n=44).. Anova was used to compare the occurrence of postoperative chills in the three groups at 10 min, 30 min, immediately after the operation, and the anti-inflammatory response of stress before and after the operation. Chi-square test was used to compare the occurrence of postoperative chills. Results:The difference of core body temperature between the three groups at 10 min, 30 min and immediately after operation was statistically significant. The core body temperature of the cold liquid group was lower than that of the equal room temperature group and the equal body temperature group at the above time point ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in core body temperature between the isoroom temperature group and the isobody temperature group at 10 min, 30 min and immediately after operation ( P>0.05)..The levels of norepinephrine and serum cortisol in the three groups were higher after surgery than before surgery, and the levels in the cold liquid group were higher than those in the isothermal group and the isothermal group ( P<0.05), but there was no statistical significance between the isothermal group and the isothermal group ( P>0.05).The levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-10 and white blood cells were higher after operation than before operation, but there was no statistical significance among the three groups ( P>0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative chills among the three groups ( χ2=6.87, P=0.03). Nine cases of postoperative chills occurred in the cold body fluid group, the highest incidence of chills was 20.45%, 3 cases occurred in the room temperature group, and 2 cases occurred in the body temperature group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of chills (6.81% vs 4.55%) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscope, compared with cold liquid lavage, intraoperative equi-room temperature lavage and equi-body temperature lavage can maintain constant intraoperative body temperature, relieve stress reaction, reduce postoperative inflammatory reaction and lower incidence of postoperative chills.

Cervical lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer is closely related to the disease recurrence and prognosis of patients. Accurate judgment of lymph node metastasis is vital for tumor stage and treatment in patients with thyroid cancer, which can effectively improve the prognosis of patients. However, preoperative detection of cervical lymph node metastasis is the key points and difficulties in individualized treatment of thyroid cancer. Currently, fine needle aspiration washout fluid thyroglobulin is often used to assess cervical lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid cancer preoperatively, and it has a higher diagnostic efficacy. The continuous exploration and application of tumor markers and emerging biomarkers have provided new perspectives for the preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in thyroid cancer. As a new non-invasive detection technique, liquid biopsy is convenient to obtain samples and has broad clinical application in early diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer. In addition, the analysis and application of liquid biopsy biomarkers will help the development of clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies, and provide the possibility of early precision therapy for thyroid cancer patients. This review summarizes current research surrounding the molecular markers related to cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.
