Carpal tunnel decompression with transverse carpal ligament transection is a very successful treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The standard long-curved incision technique has become the best treatment for median nerve entrapment decompression. Here we introduce the metacarpal small incision carpal tunnel release (MSICTR) in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

We introduced an optimized surgical approach for small incision lenticule extraction, termed the Ye's Swing Technique. This technique enables the surgeon to perform lenticule separation and extraction more easily while minimizing the risk of incision-edge tears and lenticule fragmentation. The results of this study proved its safety and efficacy.

Robot-assisted natural orifice specimen extraction surgery is a minimally invasive technique that combines robotic precision with natural orifice specimen extraction. A 67-year-old patient successfully underwent the procedure in 290 min, with minimal bleeding and no residual cancer. This approach minimized abdominal trauma, reduced complications, and enabled a quick recovery.
FAQs
Following the linea alba provides a central route through the abdominal wall while helping surgeons preserve important blood vessels. This supports controlled entry into the abdominal cavity and can reduce the complexity of managing bleeding during access. The approach is particularly useful when the operative plan must accommodate examination or treatment of more than one abdominal site.
Its central position provides broad access to the abdominal cavity, allowing surgeons to assess disease in multiple locations during the same operation. This is valuable when preoperative information does not fully establish tumor distribution. The resulting examination can help guide exploratory surgery, determine the extent of disease, and support decisions about tissue removal or biopsy.
Creating the opening requires separating or dividing successive abdominal wall layers while controlling bleeding and protecting important vessels. At the end of the procedure, surgeons close those tissues in layers rather than treating the abdominal wall as a single structure. This layered approach completes the operative access pathway and restores the separated tissues after cancer-related assessment or treatment.
The access it provides can support exploratory surgery, tumor removal, and biopsy, depending on the operative objective. By exposing a wide region of the abdomen, surgeons can evaluate sites relevant to staging and collect representative tissue when needed. These activities help characterize where disease is present and provide specimens for further pathological or molecular analysis.
The procedure begins by making a central abdominal cut and progressing through the abdominal wall layers toward the cavity. Surgeons maintain bleeding control and preserve important vessels during entry. After the planned examination, biopsy, tumor removal, or tissue collection is completed, they close the separated layers in sequence to finish the operation.
A midline incision can provide access to tumors or other abdominal sites from which tissue is collected during surgery. Those specimens may be used for molecular analysis, while the same operation can also support biopsy, staging, or tumor removal. This connects surgical access with laboratory investigation of disease-related tissue, especially when several sites require assessment.
