Here, we present several simple methods for evaluating viability and death in 3D cancer cell spheroids, which mimic the physico-chemical gradients of in vivo tumors much better than the 2D culture. The spheroid model, therefore, allows evaluation of the cancer drug efficacy with improved translation to in vivo conditions.

Source: Alomari, S., et al. Implementation of Minimally Invasive Brain Tumor Resection in Rodents for High Viability Tissue Collection. J. Vis. Exp. (2022)This video demonstrates the use of a minimally invasive resection system (MIRS) to excise tumor tissue from an anesthetized mouse implanted with a tumor. The procedure involves securing the mouse onto a stereotactic frame, reopening the previous surgical site to access the brain, and inserting a specialized cannula that utilizes suction and a...
FAQs
Alignment determines whether the new staple rows capture tissue consistently alongside the existing closure. Accurate positioning supports continuity between the two lines and helps avoid areas with inadequate tissue capture. In cancer surgery, this mechanical precision is important because the resulting staple-line condition can influence hemostasis, healing, and the likelihood of leakage after reconstruction.
Staggered staple rows distribute the closure across adjacent tissue, while the integrated blade divides tissue between those rows during deployment. Their coordinated action determines whether the tissue is compressed and divided in a controlled manner. This relationship matters when creating a closure or anastomosis near an earlier staple line, where continuity and tissue capture must be maintained.
Controlled tissue compression, accurate alignment, adequate tissue capture, and continuity between the new and pre-existing lines are central mechanical factors. If these elements are not maintained, the closure may be less reliable. The consequences are clinically relevant because staple-line integrity is associated with hemostasis, healing, and the risk of leakage in gastrointestinal reconstruction.
The configuration may be used during organ resection and subsequent gastrointestinal reconstruction. Its relevance arises when a new stapled closure or anastomosis must be created directly along a pre-existing staple line. In these settings, understanding the mechanical requirements helps support operative planning and focuses attention on the integrity of the resulting closure.
Planning should account for the location of the pre-existing staple line, the alignment of the new stapler, and the need for continuous, adequate tissue capture. These considerations help the operator anticipate how compression and tissue division will interact with the earlier closure. They also connect technical decisions with clinically important outcomes such as healing and leakage.
Researchers can examine staple-line integrity, hemostasis, healing, and leakage risk after organ resection or gastrointestinal reconstruction. These outcomes provide a framework for comparing operative configurations and assessing whether changes in stapling devices improve closure performance. Studying them also links the mechanical behavior of the staple lines to practical surgical results in cancer care.
