To investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive technique applied to internal fixation removal in patients with healed long tubular bone fractures. ⋯ Minimally invasive surgery for the removal of the internal fixation device in patients with healed long tubular bone fractures with internal fixation is associated with significantly improved clinical effect, relieved symptoms, reduced inflammatory response, and improved functional recovery of patients.

To investigate the effect of different treatment methods of the left colic artery (LCA) on postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer. ⋯ Preservation of LCA and no-preservation of LCA in laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer are comparable in terms of therapeutic effect, and the surgery with preservation of LCA is worthy of clinical promotion due to its various benefits such as less impact on gastrointestinal hormone indicators, lower risk of complications, and faster postoperative recovery.

Recurrence is a relatively common outcome following endoscopic decompression in sigmoid volvulus (SV). This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting recurrence in SV. ⋯ Elderliness, early-onset, maleness, high-fiber diet habit, high altitude, and most likely chronic constipation may be the practical clinical parameters of recurrent SV. These parameters, as well as the presence of previous SV episode history, must be considered in the decision-making process in the elective treatment of SV.
