    Abstract Introduction: High resolution ultrasound (US) of the cervical vagus nerve (CVN) is clinically relevant in the diagnostic workup and during neurostimulation therapy of several neurologic diseases. This prospective study aims to provide reference data of the cross-sectional area (CSA) and fascicle count of the normal CVN and to investigate their possible association with anthropometric data in a large cohort of patients.
    Methods: A total of 657 CVNs in 330 individuals without history of neurological disease were examined using US (7-15Mhz). The CVN fascicle count and CSA inside the hyperechoic epineurium at the level of the thyroid lobes were measured. Three CSA measurements were performed to calculate the mean value. Anthropometric data were recorded.
    Results: The mean fascicle count was 2.4 ± 1.1 (right) and 2 ± 1 (left) (paired t- test, p < 0.001). Two CVN patterns were identified: A single hypoechoic fascicular structure (26.2 % right, 36.3 % left) and a honeycomb structure of 2-6 discrete fascicles (72.3 % right, 63.7 % left). Right CVN mean CSA was larger compared to left (2.3 ± 1 mm
    Conclusion: The right CVN has larger CSA and contains more fascicles than the left. CVN is usually mono- or oligo-fascicular with a honeycomb appearance. The CSA increased with increasing BMI but no age and sex specific differences were noted.

    Abstract Purpose: To introduce and illustrate a novel urethral reconstruction technique-the 'urethral hammock-technique'-and to assess its impact on early postoperative continence following laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).
    Methods: 119 patients who underwent LRP between January 2020 and May 2022 (hammock group: n = 43, control group: n = 76) were included in the study. The primary outcome was continence (zero pads or max. one security pad) at 1, 3, and 6 months following surgery. Secondary outcomes were operative time, complications, and histological findings. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to reveal predictors for continence. p values < 0.05 with a two-sided 95%-confidence interval were considered statistically significant.
    Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable among both groups. The number of patients achieving complete continence in both the hammock and control groups at various time intervals was: 4 weeks 37.2% (16/43) vs. 19.2% (14/73) (p = 0.047); 3 months 60.5% (26/43) vs. 37.3% (28/75) (p = 0.021) and 6 months 72.1% (31/43) vs. 60.3% (44/73) (p = 0.23), respectively. Adjusting for bladder neck preservation status and age, the hammock technique was a significant predictor for continence for the 4-week (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.13-0.83, p = 0.019) and 3-month (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.12-0.66, p = 0.004) interval but not for the 6-month interval (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.27-1.5, p = 0.31). Operative time, complication rates, time till catheter extraction and histological findings were comparable between both groups (all p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: The hammock technique is a simple and reproducible technique to improve early postoperative continence for at least 3 months following surgery. However, these promising results warrant confirmation through a randomized controlled trial.

    Abstract Anatomical variants of peripheral nerves of the lower limb are relatively frequent and vulnerable to injury if not considered by the surgeon. Surgical procedures or percutaneous injections are often performed without knowing the anatomical situation. In a patient with normal anatomy, these procedures are mostly performed smoothly without major nerve complications. But in the case of anatomical variants, surgery may be challenging as "new" anatomical prerequisites complicate the procedure. In this context, high-resolution ultrasonography as the first-line imaging modality to depict peripheral nerves, has become a helpful adjunct in the preoperative setting. It is crucial, on the one hand, to gain knowledge of anatomical nerve variants and, on the other hand, to depict the anatomical situation preoperatively, to minimize the risk of surgical trauma to a nerve and make surgeries safer.

    Abstract Purpose: Morphological variations of the brachial artery are quite commonly discovered in routine dissection and have been the subject of many studies. However, there is a need for a clear classification. This work presents morphological variations of the brachial artery, based on numerous case reports and studies created for the appropriate classification and interpretation among surgeons and radiologists. It also discusses the most important clinical aspects of the given varieties.
    Methods: The research method is based on the combined interpretation of the researches based on numerous publications concerning both the principles of correctly classifying the described morphological variations of the brachial artery and the resulting clinical implications. This work considers atypical variations such as the presence of the superficial brachial artery, brachoradial artery, accessory brachial artery and absence of the brachial artery. Variations of the brachial artery in relation to the external and internal diameter of the vessel have also been discussed.
    Results: After conducting a complex analysis of the collected data, the fundamental principles for classifying such variability as superficial brachial artery, brachioradial artery and accessory brachial artery were defined. Additionally, clinical implications resulting from the above like the impact of the superficial brachial artery on the median nerve neuropathy and the positive correlation between the brachioradial artery and increased danger of incorrect transradial catheterization were demonstrated.
    Conclusions: The clinical implications of the atypical arterial pattern within the upper limb are crucial during the angiography and surgical procedures so the variations affect the appropriate diagnosis and surgical intervention. Hence, the knowledge about the morphological variations of the brachial artery should be constantly broadened by radiologists and surgeons to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the treatment process.

    Abstract Frequent complications arising from low anterior resections include urinary and fecal incontinence, as well as sexual disorders, which are commonly associated with damage to the pelvic autonomic nerves during surgery. To assist the surgeon in preserving pelvic autonomic nerves, a novel approach for intraoperative pelvic neuromonitoring was investigated that is based on impedance measurements of the innervated organs. The objective of this work was to develop an algorithm called AMINA to classify the bioimpedance signals, with the goal of facilitating signal interpretation for the surgeon. Thirty patients included in a clinical investigation underwent nerve-preserving robotic rectal surgery using intraoperative pelvic neuromonitoring. Contraction of the urinary bladder and/or rectum, triggered by direct stimulation of the innervating nerves, resulted in a change in tissue impedance signal, allowing the nerves to be identified and preserved. Impedance signal characteristics in the time domain and the time-frequency domain were calculated and classified to develop the AMINA. Stimulation-induced positive impedance changes were statistically significantly different from negative stimulation responses by the percent amplitude of impedance change A

    Abstract Purpose: We established a detailed sonographic approach to the bicipital aponeurosis (BA), because different pathologies of this, sometimes underestimated, structure are associated with vascular, neural and muscular lesions; emphasizing its further implementation in routine clinical examinations.
    Methods: The BA of 100 volunteers, in sitting position with the elbow lying on a suitable table, was investigated. Patients were aged between 18 and 28 with no history of distal biceps injury. Examination was performed using an 18-6 MHz linear transducer (LA435; system MyLab25 by Esaote, Genoa, Italy) utilizing the highest frequency, scanned in two planes (longitudinal and transverse view). In each proband, scanning was done with and without isometric contraction of the biceps brachii muscle.
    Results: The BA was characterized by two clearly distinguishable white lines enveloping a hypoechoic band. In all longitudinal images (plane 1), the lacertus fibrosus was clearly seen arising from the biceps muscle belly, the biceps tendon or the myotendinous junction, respectively. In transverse images (plane 2) the BA spanned the brachial artery and the median nerve in all subjects. In almost all probands (97/100), the BA was best distinguishable during isometric contraction of the biceps muscle.
    Conclusion: With the described sonographic approach, it should be feasible to detect alterations and unusual ruptures of the BA. Therefore, we suggest additional BA scanning during clinical examinations of several pathologies, not only for BA augmentation procedures in distal biceps tendon tears.
