1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeRecently, exoscope was introduced as a more ergonomic alternative to microscope, mainly in nerve and spinal surgery. Exoscope use in general surgery is still experimental and just few reports are present in literature. Here, we describe for the first time its application in transanal surgery, specifically during the transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis in ileal-pouch anal anastomosis.

methodsAfter completing the proctectomy and pouch formation laparoscopically, two surgeons performed the transanal transection and single-stapled anastomosis using the vision provided by the ORBEYE™ exoscope system with a 3D 4K orbital camera and a 55-inches 3D screen. The transanal procedure was carried out with the surgeons looking at the 3D screen rather than at the operating field.

resultsThe system subjectively provided excellent operative view thanks to the magnification capacity and the high resolution. The ergonomics was improved compared to classical transanal surgery, allowing the operators and observers to have the same view in a comfortable position. In particular, the exoscope magnified vision allowed for clearer demonstration of techniques to trainees.

conclusionsThis is the first report on the intraoperative application of the ORBEYE™ surgical exoscope in transanal surgery. The magnified vision allowed precise movements and the system appeared potentially a ground-breaking tool for surgical training. The ability to project high-quality images to observers make it ideal for teaching complex transanal procedures. Further studies are encouraged to validate this approach into standard colorectal practice.
