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.

Mice can swim, but many strains appear to find this activity stressful. To overcome this problem mazes have been devised where escape from shallow water is used to motivate behaviour. These have been demonstrated to support learning at least as good as the traditional and widely used Morris water maze.

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).

2025
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
Depth control is the central variable because it determines whether access remains limited to the outer tissue layer or extends into adjacent structures. Guiding a fine blade only to the intended depth can preserve surrounding anatomy and reduce unintended damage. This precision is especially valuable when researchers need access for sampling, dissection, or implantation without compromising nearby tissue.
A fine blade or comparable cutting instrument supports more restricted access than an uncontrolled or excessively deep cut. Its use allows the operator to guide the opening through the outer layer while limiting disruption below it. As a result, the method can help maintain specimen integrity and produce a more localized tissue response for biological investigation.
The principal difference is how far the opening extends into the tissue. A superficial approach reaches underlying structures through the outer layer while avoiding unnecessary penetration into adjacent tissues. A deeper cut would create greater disruption and could alter the specimen or local response being studied. The restricted approach therefore suits experiments requiring precise, limited access.
The procedure begins by positioning a fine cutting instrument at the selected access site and guiding it through the outer tissue layer. The blade is kept within a carefully restricted depth rather than advanced deeply into adjacent structures. This controlled opening then permits the intended sampling, dissection, or implantation while limiting avoidable disturbance to surrounding biological material.
Researchers may select this approach when an experiment requires access to underlying structures but must preserve as much surrounding tissue as possible. Supported uses include dissection, tissue sampling, implantation, and experimental wound-healing models. Its controlled access can improve specimen integrity and help isolate local tissue responses, making it suitable for studies of both living and preserved material.
In experimental wound-healing models, the restricted opening provides a defined local site at which tissue responses can be examined. Because the cut limits disruption beyond the intended area, researchers can study localized changes while reducing confounding damage to adjacent structures. In broader tissue studies, the same control can support specimen preservation and more precise interpretation of results.
