Oculomotor nerve palsy recovery following microsurgery vs. endovascular treatment of posterior communicating artery aneurysms: a comparative meta-analysis of short- and long-term outcomes.
Recent advancements in endovascular treatment (EVT) and different views on optimal management for posterior communicating artery (PComA) aneurysms with oculomotor nerve palsy (ONP) highlight a need to compare recovery timelines between micr…

Oncological outcome after local treatment for early stage rectal cancer.
[BACKGROUND] Treatment of early rectal cancer is evolving towards organ-preserving therapy which includes endoscopic resection and transanal approaches. We aimed to explore the role of local treatments such as endoscopic polypectomy (Endosc…

Quality-of-life outcomes in older patients with early-stage rectal cancer receiving organ-preserving treatment with hypofractionated short-course radiotherapy followed by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TREC): non-randomised registry of patients unsuitable for total mesorectal excision.
[BACKGROUND] Older patients with early-stage rectal cancer are under-represented in clinical trials and, therefore, little high-quality data are available to guide treatment in this patient population. The TREC trial was a randomised, open-…

Repeated botulinum treatment of rabbit masseter causes cumulative tissue damage.
[OBJECTIVE] Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) are used in masticatory muscles for pain relief, unloading of the mandible, and cosmetic facial contouring. Treatment is often repeated every few months as function returns. This study assessed masti…

Radical surgery versus organ preservation via short-course radiotherapy followed by transanal endoscopic microsurgery for early-stage rectal cancer (TREC): a randomised, open-label feasibility study.
[BACKGROUND] Radical surgery via total mesorectal excision might not be the optimal first-line treatment for early-stage rectal cancer. An organ-preserving strategy with selective total mesorectal excision could reduce the adverse effects o…

Local excision after polypectomy for rectal polyp cancer: when is it worthwhile?
[AIM] The optimal management of a polyp cancer that has been removed endoscopically is unclear. Further local excision is often advocated to remove the polyp stalk or scar or to ensure clear margins, but the benefit of this is unclear. The …

Local excision after (near) complete response of rectal cancer to neoadjuvant radiation: does it add value?
[PURPOSE] Neoadjuvant radiotherapy is commonly used in rectal cancer. When used prior to radical surgery in locally advanced disease, up to one-quarter of patients have no residual cancer at surgery suggesting that radical surgery was unnec…
