Ye's Swing Technique for Small-incision Lenticule Extraction Surgery
0 Views •
2025
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.

A Technique for Human Skin Grafting in a Mouse Model

This video demonstrates a method for grafting human skin onto an immunodeficient mouse with a suppressed neutrophil response. The method involves applying human split-thickness skin to the mouse's graft bed, sealing it, and covering it for recovery. Eventually, the human skin adheres to the mouse's skin, establishing vascularization and circulation, resulting in a successful skin xenograft.

This video demonstrates an in vivo technique to assess a test antigen by inducing skin inflammation in a murine model. The test antigen—a hapten in an oil/acetone solution—is topically applied to the skin of the mouse ear, and inflammation of the skin is assessed after an adequate period.

Metacarpal Small Incision for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
0 Views •
2024
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).
FAQs
Depth and length should match the planned access while remaining consistent across experiments. Excessive or variable cutting can increase tissue trauma, bleeding, or disruption of nearby structures, whereas insufficient access may hinder implantation, excision, biopsy, or sampling. Controlling these dimensions helps researchers distinguish effects caused by the cancer-related intervention from effects caused by the incision itself.
Hemostasis, the control of bleeding, helps limit blood loss and prevents bleeding from becoming a confounding source of tissue injury. Maintaining it also supports cleaner access to the target area and may promote more consistent healing. In cancer studies, controlling bleeding is particularly important when researchers later assess tumor growth, tissue samples, or responses to treatment.
Selected anatomical landmarks provide a consistent reference for placing the incision and help align access with the intended tissue. Careful positioning also reduces the chance of damaging nearby structures. Using the same landmarks across subjects improves procedural consistency, allowing differences in tumor development or therapeutic outcomes to be interpreted with greater confidence.
The procedure begins with a sterile scalpel and a planned incision along selected anatomical landmarks. The researcher opens the epidermis and dermis to the required depth, accesses the underlying tissue, and maintains hemostasis while protecting adjacent structures. After the research task, consistent closure supports healing and helps preserve comparability among experimental subjects.
Cancer researchers use this approach when they need controlled access for tumor implantation, tumor excision, biopsy, tissue sampling, or treatment evaluation. The appropriate use depends on the study objective and the tissue that must be reached. Applying a consistent incision supports access to the target while limiting procedural variation that could affect study results.
Consistent incision depth, length, placement, and closure can reduce differences in healing and tissue disturbance between experimental subjects. This standardization strengthens interpretation of tumor growth and therapeutic outcomes because observed changes are less likely to reflect uneven surgical handling. It also supports animal welfare by reducing avoidable trauma and promoting more predictable recovery.
