A Technical Note is a short scientific article that describes a specific surgical technique, device, protocol, or technological implementation. It focuses on the *technical execution* rather than clinical results.

• Concise, focused content
• Describes “how to do” a specific technique
• May include diagrams, images, or device specs
• Usually no patient cohort or statistical analysis
• Aims to share innovations in practice, not test hypotheses

• Not a clinical trial
• Not a full case series or meta-analysis
• Not suitable for conclusions about safety or efficacy
