Summary: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the most rapidly developing areas in modern surgery, with soft robotics offering better adaptability and safer interaction. The intelligent development of next-generation soft surgical robots holds great promise in addressing current technical challenges in MIS and providing a propitious solution for future surgery.

Summary: Isthmocele, or caesarean scar defect, is a common long-term complication of caesarean section with potential risks. Guidelines for diagnosis and management of this condition are currently unavailable. This case report describes a successful laparoscopic correction of isthmocele in a 29-year-old patient, who chose to continue her pregnancy without any complications.

Summary: This retrospective study compared the short-term benefits of robotic surgery and laparoscopic surgery in the perioperative period of minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy. The results showed that robotic surgery had advantages over laparoscopic surgery in terms of reduced operation time and postoperative length of stay, technical feasibility, and safety.

Summary: The study compared the surgical outcomes of open central pancreatectomies (O-CP) and minimally invasive central pancreatectomies (MI-CP), finding that MI-CP had advantages in terms of operating time and postoperative blood loss, and was comparable to O-CP in terms of perioperative complications.

Summary: This study found that robotic adrenalectomies have a lower conversion rate compared to laparoscopic surgeries, and the conversion rate increases as tumor size increases. If a surgeon is not planning an open adrenalectomy but there is a possibility of adrenal malignancy, robotic adrenalectomy may be the preferred approach for resectable adrenal tumors.

Summary: This study compared the survival outcomes of intermediate- or high-risk cervical cancer patients who received adjuvant chemoradiotherapy after minimally invasive surgery or open surgery. The results showed that there was no significant difference in disease-free survival and overall survival between the two groups. Tumor size and a time interval of more than 7 weeks from surgery to radiotherapy were identified as adverse prognostic factors for disease-free survival.

Summary: This study is the largest comparison of surgical outcomes between MIS and PSF, showing that MIS patients benefit from increased thoracic kyphosis, reduced blood loss, lower opioid consumption, and shorter hospital stay, with similar Cobb correction. The increased postoperative kyphosis in MIS is likely due to muscle sparing dissection.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the management of postoperative intraabdominal abscess (IAA) after laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) and design a treatment algorithm. Patients were divided into three groups based on treatment, with a minimally invasive step-up approach based on the size and number of fluid collections associated with excellent outcomes.
