Robotic Beyond Total Mesorectal Excision With Synchronous Perineal Flap Reconstruction: Feasibility and Early Outcomes

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 22, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Advanced rectal and anal malignancies often require dissections beyond total mesorectal planes for improved oncological outcomes. While minimally invasive techniques facilitate this approach, they result in larger perineal defects, creating reconstructive challenges.

Pelvic venous disorders in women: Diagnosis and management for gynecologists

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 1267-1276, September 2026.
Abstract Pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) are an underrecognized yet significant cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in reproductive‐aged women, characterized by venous reflux, obstruction, or both. This clinical opinion provides a practical overview of PeVD for gynecologists, outlining its pathophysiology, common presentations, diagnostic approach, and ...

Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion: Primary endpoint results from the prospective, multicenter STACI study

PM&R, Volume 18, Issue 9, Page 986-996, September 2026.
Abstract Background Chronic sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is highly debilitating. Minimally invasive SIJ fusion has become a commonly performed surgical treatment for SIJ pain, with level I evidence showing clinically significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life and a low adverse event rate.

Anatomical variations of the sciatic nerve, in relation to the piriformis muscle

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2016
Anatomical variations can be seen in any part of the body and unless they are identified through imaging, during surgery, or on autopsy most of them will never be detected.

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

Relationship of piriformis thickness with hip muscle strength and activation in patients with low back pain / Ida Kartini Othman [PDF]

, 2021
Piriformis thickness is strongly related to Piriformis Syndrome (PS), presented as spasm and hypertrophy of the muscle. The association between piriformis thickness as well as morphological and functional of gluteal muscles changes in PS has yet to be ...

HIP Surgical Techniques to Enhance Rehabilitation (HIPSTER): a single-centre, double-blind, parallel three-arm, randomized-controlled, superiority trial

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: The primary aim of this trial is to investigate whether two novel robotic-assisted tendon-sparing posterior approaches to total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery, the piriformis-sparing posterior approach (PSPA) and the spare piriformis and internus,

Piriformis Injection: An Ultrasound-Guided Technique

, 2019
Piriformis syndrome is an elusive condition that likely is overlooked and overdiagnosed in equal proportions. Image-guided injection of the muscle is an essential element in the assessment and management of this disorder.

Nucleus Pulposus Resorption Following a Paraspinal Hook‐Needle Intervention for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The paraspinal hook‐needle intervention is a minimally invasive needle‐based procedure performed under local anesthesia using a specialized hook‐shaped needle at clinically selected lumbar segments. We report the case of a 70‐year‐old woman who presented with intermittent low back pain for more than 10 years, recently aggravated and ...
