Summary: This study compared the surgical outcomes of single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH) and hybrid robotic single-site hysterectomy (RSSH). A total of 64 patients underwent either hybrid RSSH or SPA-TLH for benign gynecologic disease. The results showed that there were no significant differences in surgical outcomes between the two groups, but the hybrid RSSH group had a shorter colpotomy time and a longer vaginal cuff closure time.

Summary: This study investigated the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing large specimen hysterectomy for benign indications and evaluated the impact of route of surgery and operative time on VTE development. The study found that VTE occurrence after large specimen hysterectomy for benign indications is rare. Longer operative times were associated with increased odds of VTE, while minimally invasive approaches were associated with lower odds of VTE.

Summary: This study compared the surgical outcomes and short-term efficacy of a modified two-port laparoscopic procedure and the traditional five-port McKeown procedure in patients with esophageal cancer. The results showed no significant differences in intraoperative parameters, postoperative pain scores, complication rates, duration of hospital stay, and total hospitalization costs between the two groups. The findings suggest that the two-port laparoscopic procedure is a safe and effective approach for gastric dissociation in patients with esophageal cancer.

Summary: The study aimed to compare outcomes in early stage cervical cancer patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) vs open surgery, finding differences in 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival between the MIS and open groups. The 2018 FIGO staging may serve as a useful tool in refining indications for MIS in early stage cervical cancer.

Summary: Over the 20 years, the adoption of MIS in Switzerland has increased, but older age, higher comorbidities, lack of private insurance, rural residence, and lower income are associated with limited access to MIS. Efforts should be made to ensure equal access to MIS for patients regardless of socioeconomic or geographical factors.

Summary: Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DE) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition, primarily detected through surgery. This study described the treatment of 215 patients with DE, and by developing standardized surgical approaches and specific techniques, the rate of postoperative complications was effectively reduced.

Summary: This study compares the short-term and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive central pancreatectomy (MI-CP) and minimally invasive spleen-preserving subtotal distal pancreatectomy (MI-SpSTDP). It found that MI-CP is safe and effective in preserving endocrine and exocrine functions in the treatment of benign or borderline tumors located at the neck or proximal body of the pancreas.

Summary: The video illustrates the evolution of minimally invasive surgery through interviews with pioneering reproductive surgeons. These surgeons played foundational roles in the development of operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. The interviews provide insights into the challenges, advancements, and applications of minimally invasive surgery in diagnosing and treating infertility.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that minimally invasive surgery approaches may offer lower survival rates for early-stage cervical cancer patients compared to open surgery. However, laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal hysterectomy (LARVH) appears to provide excellent disease control and survival rates in this patient population, making it a suitable alternative to traditional open radical hysterectomy.

Summary: This study compared patient characteristics, operative details, and postoperative outcomes between single-port access (SPA) laparoscopic surgery and vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES). The results showed that the early operative outcomes of vNOTES were comparable to SPA, with shorter operative time and lower postoperative pain scores.

Summary: Gasless single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy using a J-shaped retractor showed no significant differences compared to conventional SPA laparoscopy in factors such as age, body mass index, parity, previous abdominal surgery, tumor marker, and tumor diameter in patients undergoing adnexal surgery. Gasless SPA laparoscopy with a J-shaped retractor may be a better alternative to conventional SPA laparoscopy.

Summary: This study compared recurrence rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival for early-stage cervical cancer after minimally invasive vs abdominal radical hysterectomy. The results showed that minimally invasive radical hysterectomy was associated with worse progression-free survival compared to open radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer.
