Laparoscopic Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatosplenectomy via Dorsal-Caudal Artery Approach for Pancreatic Neck-Body Cancer

Zhantao Shen^1,2, Guihao Chen^1,2, Chunbao Zhu², Xiang Wu^1,2, Yifeng Liu^1,2, Zhangyuanzhu Liu^1,2, Zhijian Tan^1,2, Xiaosheng Zhong^1,2

¹The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, ²The Second Clinical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine

With advancements in laparoscopic techniques, laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (L-RAMPS) has been widely recognized. However, owing to several technical difficulties in this procedure, the artery-first approach in L-RAMPS still remains uncommon. Here, we developed the dorsal-caudal artery approach for L-RAMPS, which might be safe and beneficial for pancreatic neck tumors.

Laparoscopic Pancreatoduodenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer Using In-Situ No-Touch Isolation Technique

Zhantao Shen^1,2, Xiang Wu^1,2, Guihao Chen^1,2, Yifeng Liu^1,2, Chunbao Zhu², Fanxing Huang², Zhijian Tan^1,2, Xiaosheng Zhong^1,2

¹The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, ²The Second Clinical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine

No-Touch isolation procedures might prevent the dissemination of cancer cells from the primary tumor. However, these techniques are not widely accepted in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) by now. We herein present in-situ No-Touch isolation LPD with partial resection and reconstruction of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) for pancreatic cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.

Clinical assessment scales are notsensitive enough to cognitive dysfunction in high-functioning stroke patients. The dual-task paradigm presents advantages and potential in the assessment and cognitive training of cognitive dysfunction. The study here proposes a dual-task Stroop paradigm to identify cognitive dysfunction in high-functioning stroke patients.

Management of the Uncinate Process in No-Touch Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Zhantao Shen^1,2, Xiang Wu^1,2, Fanxing Huang², Guihao Chen^1,2, Yifeng Liu^1,2, Zhimin Yu^1,2, Chunbao Zhu^1,2, Zhijian Tan^1,2, Xiaosheng Zhong^1,2

Complete resection of the uncinate process and mesopancreas is one of the most important and difficult processes in laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD). This article presents a method for managing the uncinate process in no-touch LPD using the median-anterior and left-posterior approaches to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).

Fu's Subcutaneous Needling for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain

Po-En Chiu^*1,2, Zhonghua Fu^*3,4, Jian Sun^4,5,6, Guan-Wei Jian^7,8, Te-Mao Li⁹, Li-Wei Chou^10,11,12

We present a protocol for using Fu's subcutaneous needling for knee osteoarthritis pain, which combines swaying movement and reperfusion approach techniques. This protocol has great potential for future applications in myofascial pain treatment and could enhance Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) manipulation skills.
