Abstract
BACKGROUND To compared the clinical efficacy of two surgical methods, posterior laminectomy fusion fixation, and posterior single open-door laminoplasty, in treating multilevel cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). METHODS The study retrospectively included 102 patients treated between December 2016 and December 2020. The patients were included into an observation group (56 cases) treated with total laminectomy and lateral screw fixation, and a control group (46 cases) treated with single open-door laminoplasty. RESULTS After 24 months, both groups showed significant improvement in Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, indicating better clinical symptoms and functional recovery. There was no significant difference in preoperative JOA and VAS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 24 months after surgery, there was no significant difference in JOA and VAS scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the observation group had a significantly higher cervical curvature index (CCI) and lower range of motion (ROM) of the cervical spine compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The CCI in control group was lower than before surgery, while the CCI in observation group was higher than before surgery, and CCI in the control group was considerably lower than that in the observation group (P < 0.05). The complication rate was lower in the control group, with fewer cases of axial symptoms, fifth cervical nerve root palsy, and overall complications. The overall complication rate was 25.0% (14/56) in the observation group and 10.8% (5/46) in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both posterior laminectomy fusion fixation and posterior single open-door laminoplasty yield positive outcomes in improving clinical neurological function, cervical curvature, range of motion of the cervical spine, and cervical sagittal balance. Although open-door laminoplasty is less effective than total laminectomy in maintaining CCI and sagittal balance, it excels in preserving cervical range of motion, less surgical trauma and complications. Thus, open-door laminoplasty may be a suitable first-choice treatment for multi-segmental cervical OPLL, especially for patients with lordotic cervical spine physiological curvature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical effect between orbital septum incision and classical incision of double eyelid plasty. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 381 patients who underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty in the Department of Plastic and Laser Cosmetology of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods: group A (n = 146) received the classical method and group B (n = 235) received the orbital septum method. The incidence of early postoperative complications, scar depression from 6 months to 1 year after the operation, the condition of 'meat strip' (the accumulation of soft tissue in front of the tarsal plate after double eyelid surgery, including skin, muscle, and fascia fat, results in a hypertrophic appearance of the upper eyelid) below the double eyelid line, and the symmetry of double eyelids were analyzed and evaluated. RESULTS The total number of early postoperative complications in group A was seven cases (incidence rate: approximately 4.80%), and the total number of early postoperative complications in group B was two cases (incidence rate: approximately 0.85%), with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The degree of scar depression in group B was significantly lighter than that in group A from 6 months to 1 year after the operation (P < 0.05). The score of 'meat strip' below the double eyelid line in group B was significantly lighter than that in group A (P < 0.05). The symmetry of double eyelids in group B was better than that in group A (P < 0.05) CONCLUSION: Compared to the classical double eyelid method, the orbital septum method has the advantages of reducing early postoperative complications, reducing the severity of the scar, slighting the 'meat strip,' and improving symmetry, which results in higher postoperative satisfaction LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Totally laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG) entails both gastrectomy and gastrointestinal reconstruction under laparoscopy. Compared with laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy (LAG), TLG has been demonstrated in many studies to require a smaller surgical incision, result in a faster postoperative recovery and less pain and have comparable long-term efficacy, which has been a research hotspot in recent years. Whether TLG is equally safe and feasible for elderly patients remains unclear.
AIM To compare the short-term efficacy of and quality of life (QOL) associated with TLG and LAG in elderly gastric cancer (GC) patients.
METHODS The clinicopathological data of 462 elderly patients aged ≥ 70 years who underwent LAG or TLG (including distal gastrectomy and total gastrectomy) between January 2017 and January 2022 at the Department of General Surgery, First Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital were retrospectively collected. A total of 232 patients were in the LAG group, and 230 patients were in the TLG group. Basic patient information, clinicopathological characteristics, operation information and QOL data were collected to compare efficacy.
RESULTS Compared with those in the LAG group, intraoperative blood loss in the TLG group was significantly lower (P < 0.001), and the time to first flatus and postoperative hospitalization time were significantly shorter (both P < 0.001). The overall incidence of postoperative complications in the TLG group was significantly lower than that in the LAG group (P = 0.01). Binary logistic regression results indicated that LAG and an operation time > 220 min were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in elderly patients with GC (P < 0.05). In terms of QOL, no statistically significant differences in various preoperative indicators were found between the LAG group and the LTG group (P > 0.05). Compared with the laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy group, patients who received totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy had lower nausea and vomiting scores and higher satisfaction with their body image (P < 0.05). Patients who underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy were more satisfied with their body image than patients in the totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION TLG is safe and feasible for elderly patients with GC and has outstanding advantages such as reducing intracorporeal blood loss, promoting postoperative recovery and improving QOL.

Abstract
Objective: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of undifferentiated early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) remains controversial due to high positive rate of horizontal and vertical resection margins and the risk of lymph node metastasis. The purpose of this study was to compare long-term outcomes of patients with UD-EGC undergoing ESD versus surgery. Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study. Inclusion criteria: (1) patients with early gastric cancer undergoing ESD or surgical resection; (2) histological types included poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcima with signet ring cell carcinoma, and signet ring cell carcinoma; (3) no lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis was confirmed by preoperative CT and endoscopic ultrasonography. Exclusion criteria: (1) previous surgical treatment for gastric cancer; (2) synchronous tumors; (3) death with unknown cause; (4) additional surgical treatment was performed within 1 month after ESD. According to the above criteria, clinical data of patients with UD-EGC who received ESD or surgery treatment in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2009 to December 2016 were collected. After further comparing the clinical outcomes between the two groups by 1:1 propensity score matching, 61 patients in the ESD group and 61 patients in the surgery group were finally included in this study. The disease-free and overall survivals were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method. Results: All patients in the two groups completed operations successfully. In the ESD group, the median operation time was 46.3 (26.5, 102.3) minutes, 61 cases (100%) were en-bloc resection, and 57 cases (93.4%) were complete resection. Positive margin was found in 4 (6.6%) patients, of whom 2 were positive in horizontal margin and 2 were positive both in horizontal and vertical margins. In the surgery group, only 1 case had positive horizontal margin and no positive vertical margin was observed. There was no significant difference in the positive rate of margin between the two groups (P>0.05). Median follow-up time was 59.8 (3.0, 131.5) months. The follow-up rate of ESD group and surgery group was 82.0% (50/61) and 95.1% (58/61), respectively. The 5-year disease-free survival rate in ESD group and surgery group was 98.2% and 96.7%, respectively (P=0.641), and the 5-year overall survival rate was 98.2% and 96.6%, respectively (P=0.680). In the ESD group, 1 patient (1.6%) had lymph node recurrence, without local recurrence or distant metastasis. In the surgery group, 1 case (1.6%) had anastomotic recurrence and 1 (1.6%) had distant metastasis. Conclusion: ESD has a sinilar long-term efficacy to surgery in the treatment of UD-EGC.
