Surgical Incision

Surgical incision is a deliberate, controlled cut through skin and underlying tissue that provides access to internal structures for diagnosis or treatment. Surgeons create an incision with a scalpel or energy-based device, control bleeding, protect surrounding tissue, and close the wound with sutures, staples, or adhesive so healing can proceed. In cancer research and care, incision planning supports tumor biopsy, resection, and collection of specimens for histopathology, molecular profiling, and treatment studies. Incision design and healing outcomes also help researchers evaluate surgical margins, postoperative complications, and strategies that improve recovery while preserving tissue function.

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.

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).
