Summary: This article introduces a novel hybrid surgical technique for treating distal urethral tumors in female dogs, which combines laparoscopy and open surgery. The technique involves the removal of the changed urethra and female genitalia to radically excise the tumor and perform prepubic urethrostomy. The clinical outcomes show that the surgical method is successful, with an average survival time of 9 months.

Summary: Biologicals have shown significant efficacy in treating diseases like Crohn's, but are only effective in a minority of patients. In real-life studies, outcomes are slightly better and mucosal healing is associated with improved prognosis. However, further research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of the "treat to target" strategy.

Summary: This study compared the anti-adhesive effect of collagen type-I (COL) agent and hyaluronic acid-carboxymethylcellulose (HA/CMC) in laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomies. The results showed that both COL and HA/CMC were effective in preventing adhesion, and no significant adverse effects were observed.

Summary: This study assessed the experience and attitudes of surgeons in sub-Saharan Africa towards laparoscopy, with a focus on a low-cost laparoscopic system. Despite limited current use, there is significant interest among surgeons to increase implementation of laparoscopy. A low-cost and durable laparoscopic system was viewed as a potential solution to current barriers and could improve implementation in LMICs.

Summary: High intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic surgery is associated with reduced splanchnic blood flow. This study found that an individualized low-pneumoperitoneum-pressure strategy may prevent a reduction in liver perfusion.

Summary: Deep neuromuscular block provides better pain relief, reduces opioid consumption, and decreases the use of rescue analgesics after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. It is also associated with a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, facilitating the use of lower intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of different adhesion barriers in preventing de novo adhesion development after laparoscopic myomectomy, and found that oxidized regenerated cellulose, auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel, and polyethylene glycol amine plus dextran aldehyde polymers were the most promising methods for adhesion prevention.

Summary: Surgery for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) has evolved significantly with innovative strategies and new technologies, especially in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Different approaches such as multiport laparoscopy, single-port surgery, robotics, and transanal platforms are being used for surgical management of both Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), with an emphasis on the importance of adequate surgical training in IBD MIS.

Summary: This study demonstrates that minimally invasive surgery improves the quality of life for patients with painful deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) two years after surgery, and conservative surgery shows comparable results to total surgery.

Summary: This study demonstrated the surgical steps and outcomes of a totally laparoscopic segmental rectal resection in a 31-year-old woman with deep endometriosis. The operation was successful with no intraoperative or postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged on the fifth day postoperatively. Standardization of the surgical technique is crucial for ensuring surgical success.

Summary: This study compared the risk of serious infection between patients with inflammatory joint diseases receiving biological drug treatment and the general population, and developed a simple prediction model for individual risk assessment. The results showed that patients initiating bDMARD treatment had a four times higher risk of serious infection compared to the general population, and the developed prediction model demonstrated moderate discriminative power for risk assessment.
