From Culture to Sequencing: Evolving Strategies for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Spondylodiscitis

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 607-618, April 2026.
Diagnostic approaches to pediatric spondylodiscitis have evolved from culture‐based methods with limited sensitivity to advanced molecular and sequencing technologies. Metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS) enables rapid, culture‐independent pathogen identification, improving diagnostic accuracy, guiding therapy, and reducing invasive procedures

Percutaneous Endoscopic Lumbar Decompression Using a Novel L‐Shaped Impactor for Treating Lumbar Foraminal and Nerve Root Canal Stenosis in Elderly Patients With High Iliac Crests: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 885-892, April 2026.
The L‐shaped impactor offers several distinct advantages. Its unique design allows for better access to the lumbar region, reducing the need for extensive soft tissue dissection and minimizing trauma to surrounding structures. This not only shortens the operation time but also promotes faster patient recovery.

Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery for Gastric Cancer as an Alternative Treatment in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 405-413, March 2026.
In a prospective study of 20 elderly gastric cancer patients who declined gastrectomy, laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) was technically safe and preserved postoperative function. However, as oncological curability cannot be assured in advanced cases, careful selection and informed consent are essential.

Sagittal Double‐Hump Deformity of the Lumbosacral Spine: An Anatomical Risk Factor for Surgical Landmark Obscuration During Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 591-599, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This prospective study evaluated the impact of the “double‐hump” deformity—defined by anterior protrusions of the L4–L5 and L5–S1 disks—on L5–S1 angulation and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) outcomes. We hypothesized that this deformity is associated with reduced angulation and impaired sacral promontory visibility. Methods The L5–
