Abstract
BACKGROUND Enterococcus casseliflavus is a rare pathogenic bacterium that is characterized by vancomycin resistance and can lead to multiple infections in the human body. This report describes a rare case of polycystic intrahepatic infection with E. casseliflavus which necessitated antibiotic treatment and surgical intervention involving cystic drainage. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old woman, a long-term hemodialysis patient, was hospitalized due to a 5-day history of fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which were possibly caused by the ingestion of contaminated food. Her blood culture yielded a positive result for E. casseliflavus, and she was initially treated with piperacillin/tazobactam and linezolid. Later, the antibiotic regimen was adjusted to include meropenem and linezolid. Despite treatment, her body temperature remained elevated. However, subsequent blood cultures were negative for E.casseliflavus.Conventional CT scans and ultrasound examinations did not identify the source of infection. However, a PET-CT examination indicated an intrahepatic cyst infection. Following MRI and ultrasound localization, percutaneous intrahepatic puncture and drainage were performed on the 20th day. Fluoroquinolones were administered for 48 days. On the 32nd day, MRI revealed a separation within the infected cyst, leading to a repeat percutaneous drainage at a different site. Subsequently, the patient's temperature returned to normal. The infection was considered resolved, and she was discharged on the 62nd day. Follow-up results have been favorable thus far. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings from this case, it is recommended to promptly conduct PET-CT examination to exclude the possibility of intracystic infection in cases of polycystic liver infection that are challenging to control. Furthermore, timely consideration should be given to puncture drainage in difficult cases.

Abstract
Objective This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of percutaneous ureteroscopy laser unroofing as an ambulatory surgery for symptomatic simple renal cysts under multilevel paravertebral nerve block anesthesia. Methods From December 2015 to September 2017, 33 simple renal cyst patients who had surgical indications were enrolled. Under ultrasound guidance, the T10/T11, T11/T12, and T12/L1 paravertebral spaces were identified, and 7-10 mL 0.5% ropivacaine was injected at each segment. Then a puncture needle was placed inside the cyst cavity under ultrasonic monitoring. A guidewire was introduced followed by sequential dilation up to 28/30 Fr. The extra parenchymal portion of the cyst wall was dissociated and incised using a thulium laser, and a pathological examination was performed. Results Sensory loss to pinprick from T8 to L1 and sensory loss to ice from T6 to L2 were observed in all patients. None of the patients complained of pain during surgery. No serious complications occurred perioperatively. After the surgery, all patients recovered their lower limb muscle strength quickly, got out of bed, resumed oral feeding, and left the hospital within 24 h of admission. The pathologic diagnosis of all cyst walls was a simple renal cyst. The mean follow-up was 35.8 months. At the end of follow-up, the cyst units were reduced in size by more than 50% compared to the preoperative size, and no patient experienced a recurrence. Conclusion Multi-level paravertebral nerve block for percutaneous ureteroscopy laser unroofing as an ambulatory surgery mode is feasible, safe, and effective for the treatment of simple renal cysts in selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we propose a butterfly needle tap and suction (BTS) technique for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) as an alternative to reoperation with burr hole craniostomy (BHC) and investigate its efficacy and safety. The procedure involves percutaneous puncture through the burr hole created during the previous surgery and subsequent hematoma evacuation using a butterfly needle. METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent BTS for CSDH at Ogaki Municipal Hospital between January 2017 and December 2020. The follow-up CT scans were reviewed after several weeks. We evaluated the number of percutaneous punctures required to resolve CSDH during the BTS technique, the volume of the evacuated hematoma, and procedure-related complications. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were enrolled in the study, 21 of whom achieved resolution of the hematoma using punctures with the BTS technique alone (mean, 2.2 ± 1.5). Five patients had a recurrence of hematoma after one or more punctures during the BTS technique, and they underwent reoperation with BHC according to the surgeon's decision or patient requests. Among the 55 punctures, 43.0 ± 16.0 ml of hematoma was evacuated per puncture. The evacuated hematoma volume was 41.9 ± 16.4 ml in the BTS-alone group and 49.4 ± 12.9 ml in the reoperation group, with no significant difference (p = 0.25). Three patients complained of a headache during the puncture procedure, and no other complications, including intracranial hemorrhage or infection, were reported therein. CONCLUSIONS The BTS technique is an effective alternative to reoperation with BHC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultrasound (US)-guided robotic systems can reduce the reliance on the experience and skills of surgeons and enable automatic and accurate percutaneous puncture. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) US guidance have various advantages and disadvantages. The planned puncture path in the US data directly affects the puncture quality and tissue injury risk. It is difficult to define the optimal path in 2D US images and achieve accurate and safe puncture under the guidance of 3D US volume. This study aims to propose a robotic system guided by 3D-2D US to realize accurate and safe percutaneous puncture. METHODS We proposed a 3D-2D US-guided percutaneous puncture robotic system by integrating a 3D US scanning robotic system and a 2D US-guided puncture robotic system. The optimal spatial puncture path that targets the lesion and avoids other important tissues was determined in the 3D US volume reconstructed through robotic US scanning. Thereafter, the puncture robot was placed at the puncture site determined according to the planned path. The optimal path was mapped to the 2D US image taken at the puncture site. Finally, the 2D US image and puncture path were used to guide the robot in performing an accurate and safe percutaneous puncture. RESULTS The proposed robotic system based on the guidance of 3D-2D US exhibits the advantages of both 3D US and 2D US to improve the accuracy of percutaneous puncture and reduce the risk of tissue injury. The experimental results of phantom puncture demonstrate that the mean puncture accuracy of the system is 1.09 ± 0.35 mm, and the puncture success rate with single needle insertion is 100%. CONCLUSION A percutaneous puncture robotic system based on 3D-2D US guidance was proposed and tested successfully. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system for achieving accurate and safe robotic percutaneous puncture.

Abstract
Background The current study considers a new direction of surgical treatment of liver echinococcosis - the use of minimally invasive treatment methods of parasitic cysts. Methods After clinical and morphological substantiation of the very possibility of carrying out such procedures, 9 microwave ablations (MWA) and 3 radiofrequency ablations (RFA) of cysts were performed in patients with liver echinococcosis from 2017 to 2021 in the surgical clinic of Botkin Hospital, Moscow, Russia. A comparative analysis of treatment results of patients with echinococcal liver cysts (12 patients who underwent "percutaneous puncture, aspiration, injection and reaspiration" (PAIR) procedure and 12 patients - MWA and RFA) was carried out. Results The number of complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification was as follows: 8 after PAIR procedure, 3 after RFA and 3 after MWA. The median hospital length of stay (LOS) after PAIR procedure was 6.46 days versus 4.7 and 4 in the groups of patients who underwent RF and MW ablation, respectively. The frequency of relapses within the first year after PAIR procedure was 25%. The patients who underwent ablation procedures had no relapses of liver echinococcosis during observation. Conclusion The presented clinical and morphological substantiation and the experience of using various types of ablation techniques on echinococcal cysts, as well as a comparative analysis with a commonly used PAIR treatment method, demonstrated the safety of RFA and MWA for the patient and efficacy in relation to the hydatid process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of aberrant catheterization into a ureter is extremely low, and there is a 20% chance that the balloon cannot be deflated. Regrettably, the mechanism underlying this complication remains unknown. There has been no reported case of a Foley catheter successfully removed from the ureter via percutaneous puncture. CASE PRESENTATION A 86-year-old man complained of increasing abdominal pain after an 18F Foley catheter was inserted into his urethra. His attending physician attempted but failed to deflate the balloon. A bedside ultrasound and CT scan revealed that the catheter tip was in the right lower ureter. Several measures, including cutting the catheter and inserting a rigid guidewire, were then attempted but failed to deflate the balloon. Finally, the inflated balloon was punctured with a PTC needle under ultrasound-guidance, and the misplaced Foley catheter was removed. Two days after the pelvic drainage tube was removed, the patient was discharged. CONCLUSION This is the first reported case of a Foley catheter being removed from the ureter via percutaneous puncture. The mechanism by which the balloon is unable to deflate may be related to the passive twist of the catheter. In such a case, an overall assessment of the patient's condition should be performed, and non-invasive to invasive interventions should be phased in.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous puncture technology can realize real-time, minimally invasive interventional therapy without radiation. The location accuracy of the puncture needle directly determines the precision and safety of the operation. It is a challenge for novices and young surgeons to perform a free-hand puncture guided by the ultrasound images to achieve the desired accuracy. This work aims to develop a robotic system to assist surgeons to perform percutaneous punctures with high precision. METHODS An US-guided puncture robot was designed to allow the mounting and control of the needle to achieve localization and insertion. The US probe fitted within the puncture robot was held by a passive arm. Moreover, the puncture robot was calibrated with a novel calibration method to achieve coordinate transformation between the robot and the US image. The system allowed the operators to plan the puncture target and puncture path on US images, and the robot performed needle insertion automatically. Five groups of puncture experiments were performed to verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed robotic system. RESULTS Assisted by the robotic system, the positioning and orientation accuracies of the needle insertion were 0.9 ± 0.29 mm and 0.76 ± 0.34°, respectively. These are improved compared with the results obtained with the free-hand puncture (1.82 ± 0.51 mm and 2.79 ± 1.32°, respectively). Moreover, the proposed robotic system can reduce the operation time and number of needle insertions (14.28 ± 3.21 s and one needle insertion, respectively), compared with the free-hand puncture (25.14 ± 6.09 s and 1.96 ± 0.68 needle insertions, respectively). CONCLUSION A robotic system for percutaneous puncture guided by US images was developed and demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that the proposed system is accurate and feasible. It can assist novices and young surgeons to perform the puncture operation with increased accuracy.

Abstract
Pelvic fractures are often caused by high-energy injuries and accompanied by hemodynamic instability. Traditional open surgery has a large amount of bleeding, which is not suitable for patients with acute pelvic fracture. Navigation-guided, percutaneous puncture-screw implantation has gradually become a preferred procedure due to its advantages, which include less trauma, faster recovery times, and less bleeding. However, due to the complexity of pelvic anatomy, doctors often encounter some problems when using navigation to treat pelvic fractures. This article reviews the indications, contraindications, surgical procedures, and related complications of this procedure for the treatment of sacral fractures, sacroiliac joint injuries, pelvic ring injuries, and acetabular fractures. We also analyze the causes of inaccurate screw placement. Percutaneous screw placement under navigational guidance has the advantages of high accuracy, low incidence of complications and small soft-tissue damage, minimal blood loss, short hospital stays, and quick recovery. There is no difference in the incidence of complications between surgeries performed by new doctors and experienced ones. However, computer navigation technology requires extensive training, and attention should be given to avoid complications such as screw misplacement, intestinal injury, and serious blood vessel and nerve injuries caused by navigational drift.

Abstract
PURPOSE Percutaneous interventions rely on needle puncture to deliver medical devices into lesions. For lung tumours, respiratory motion makes effective puncture procedures difficult to achieve. To address this issue, a needle puncture method considering respiration is proposed to improve the accuracy of lung puncture. METHODS The accuracy of puncture is ensured by visualization and needle guidance. Dynamic visualization of the respiratory motion is developed for needle path planning based on four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) images. The rendered image is synchronized with the actual breathing by using respiratory signals. A robotic needle insertion strategy for velocity adjustment based on these respiratory signals is designed to guide the needle towards the moving tumour. RESULTS The dynamic visualization was tested on multiple 4DCT datasets and achieved a frame rate of over 32 frames per second (FPS). A computer simulation was carried out to verify the feasibility of the needle insertion strategy. Needle puncture was performed on a phantom, and a mean accuracy of 1.34±0.18 mm was achieved. CONCLUSIONS In this paper, an efficient and robust method is proposed to improve the visualization and targeting of lung puncture, which reduces the impact of respiratory motion on the accuracy.
