Abstract BACKGROUND Epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) is a common and severe cause of morbidity in cancer patients. Minimally invasive surgical techniques may be utilized to preserve neurological function and permit the use of radiation to maximize local control. Minimally invasive techniques are associated with lower morbidity. OBJECTIVE To describe a novel, minimally invasive operative technique for the management of metastatic ESCC. METHODS A minimally invasive approach was used to cannulate the pedicles of the thoracic vertebrae, which were then held in place by Kirschner wires (K-wires). Following open decompression of the spinal cord, cannulated screws were placed percutaneously with stereotactic guidance through the pedicles followed by cement induction. Stereotactic radiosurgery is performed in the postoperative period for residual metastatic disease in the vertebral body. RESULTS The minimally invasive technique used in this case reduced tissue damage and optimized subsequent recovery without compromising the quality of decompression or the extent of metastatic tumor resection. Development of more minimally invasive techniques for the management of metastatic ESCC has the potential to facilitate healing and preserve quality of life in patients with systemic malignancy. CONCLUSION ESCC from vertebral metastases poses a challenge to treat in the context of minimizing potential risks to preserve quality of life. Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation with cement augmentation provides a minimally invasive alternative for definitive treatment of these patients.

AIM: To evaluate the results of using the minimally-invasive technique of scleroobliteration in patients with venous malformations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2006 to 2020, 41 interventions were performed for venous-cavernous angiomatosis of various localization through scleroobliteration. Nineteen patients (46.3%) underwent complex treatment, which included a combination of this minimally-invasive technique with other surgical interventions (resection of angiomatous tissues, laser coagulation, and radiofrequency obliteration). RESULTS: Clinical improvement was achieved in 38 (92.7%) patients. According to the data of ultrasound control, 25 patients (61%) experienced no blood flow in the obliteration zone, and there was regression of the initial symptoms within 1 year of observation following intervention. The results of treatment were better due to the local spread of the angiomatous process. With diffuse forms, it was not possible to achieve a positive effect in 3 patients (11.1%). CONCLUSION: Scleroobliteration can provide a positive result in the treatment of patients with venous-cavernous angiodysplasia, both as an independent method and in combination with other minimally-invasive techniques.

Chylous ascites is a rare complication after many abdominal procedures. It has never been reported after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We describe a 31-year-old female who presented 2 weeks postoperatively after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with abdominal distention and pain. A percutaneously drained abdominal fluid collection revealed chylous ascites. Lymphoscintigraphy demonstrated extravasation at the level of the hepatic fossa. At laparoscopic exploration, a chylous leak within the gallbladder fossa was controlled with suture ligation and fibrin glue with immediate resolution of the leak. This demonstrates a novel, minimally invasive technique for control of a previously unreported complication after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Minimally invasive techniques for repair of extracardiac anomalies in congenital heart disease have evolved over the last 5 years and laid the foundation for the next phase: the repair of intracardiac defects. Fifteen patients (9 females and 6 males) with a median age of 9.8 years (range, 5.2 to 54 years) underwent closure of a secundum atrial septal defect through a small right anterior thoracotomy. The right external iliac artery was cannulated through a small groin incision and the atrial septal defect was repaired during hypothermic fibrillatory arrest for a mean period of 14 ± 5 minutes. The mean length of the thoracotomy was 4.9 ± 0.8 cm (range, 4.5 to 8.8 cm) while the mean length of the groin incision was 3.9 ± 0.5 cm (range, 2.9 to 5.3 cm). In the 3 youngest patients, the external iliac artery was cannulated with an 8F arterial cannula. Direct closure of the atrial septal defect was possible in all patients. The mean operative time was 109 ± 39 minutes. There was no perioperative or late mortality and no morbidity except for a tear in the right femoral artery of a 19-year-old girl. No residual atrial septal defect was observed in any of the patients. Although minimally invasive techniques for repair of intracardiac defects are not fully developed with regard to indications, the procedure described here provided secure closure of the defects with excellent cosmetic results.

Purpose. The goal of this article is to describe the technique used at our institution and highlight potential pitfalls during sialendoscopy. Discussion. Indication for sialendoscopy, sialendoscopy technique are discussed. Results. Despite the high reported success rates with sialendoscopy, the procedure is deemed to be technically challenging and correlation between success rates and operator experience has been shown. Conclusion. Sialendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that is gradually replacing the classic open surgical approach to the treatment of obstructive salivary gland diseases as the standard of care.

The Great saphenous vein (GSV) has been widely used as a conduit for Coronary artery bypass grafting. The GSV can be harvested using the open or minimally invasive technique. Minimally invasive techniques are growing in popularity due to better cosmetic and wound infection outcomes. The most widely used method in minimally invasive technique is via endoscopic approach. However, the cost of endoscopes and training curve can limit its use. We describe an alternative minimally invasive technique using a mayo vein harvester with a considerably lower cost, and a smoother learning curve. Keywords: Saphenous vein harvesting, Mayo vein harvester, Minimally invasive
