Summary: Although there was no significant difference in clinicopathologic features and short-term surgical outcomes, partial omentectomy (PO) during laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) showed a lower rate of tumor recurrence compared to total omentectomy (TO) for T3 or T4a gastric cancer (GC).

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the treatment methods and outcomes of canine intrarenal cystic lesions (ICLs). The study found that there are multiple treatment options for cystic lesions, and deroofing treatment most commonly resulted in lesion resolution. Cytology of cystic fluid failed to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant cystic lesions.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and clinical application advantage of omental tamponade with vascular pedicle combined with Laparoscopic fenestration for the treatment of diaphragmatic hepatic cyst. The results showed that the operation time was longer in the omental group compared to the non-omental group, but there were no significant differences in postoperative complications, postoperative laboratory values, and hospital costs. The length of hospital stay was shorter in the omental group, and the recurrence rate of hepatic cysts was lower. In conclusion, using omental tamponade with vascular pedicle can effectively prevent the recurrence of diaphragmatic hepatic cysts after laparoscopic fenestration.

Summary: This research conducted a retrospective assessment of pediatric patients who underwent surgical treatment for nonparasitic splenic cysts. The study proposed a novel index, the Karakuz Index, for predicting the optimal surgical approach. The results showed that the Karakuz Index demonstrated promising discriminatory capacity and similar histopathological findings and recurrence rates between the two surgical approaches.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy and laparoscopic deroofing in the management of pediatric symptomatic simple renal cysts. The results showed that both interventions were equally effective and associated with minimal complications for pediatric symptomatic renal cysts.

Summary: LEIC is a novel surgical approach that shows satisfactory efficacy and safety in patients with large, surficial, and symptomatic NPHCs. Its main advantage is that it can efficiently prevent cyst recurrence and decrease postoperative morbidity. Further verification is needed for its long-term efficacy and safety, especially with huge cysts.

Summary: This literature review aimed to assess the feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection for multiple colorectal liver metastases. The minimally invasive approach for liver cancer has become a new standard of oncological care, and laparoscopic liver resection is a significant indication for multiple colorectal liver metastases. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the novelty and updates in the field of multiple minimally invasive liver resections and discuss the feasibility and outcomes of laparoscopic concomitant multiple liver resections for colorectal liver metastases.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of laparoscopic cystectomy on ovarian reserve in patients with ovarian cysts. The results showed that the surgery reduced serum AMH levels and the number of cauterizations used, cyst type, and bilaterality had a significant impact on postoperative AMH levels.

Summary: Reduction of mycophenolic acid (MPA) dose alone may not be sufficient to control chronic HEV infection in transplant patients, while treatment with ribavirin can lead to HEV clearance, although the response can vary between individuals. Rituximab therapy is a risk factor for complicated-to-treat chronic HEV infection.

Summary: Dialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients show a decreased immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, with lower seroconversion rates and antibody titers compared to healthy individuals. Kidney transplant recipients have a weaker immune response to the vaccine, possibly related to the use of mycophenolate-mofetil/mycophenolic acid. Vaccination-induced antibody titers are significantly lower in both patient groups compared to healthy individuals.

Summary: This study investigated the immune response to a third or fourth dose of mRNA vaccine in dialysis and kidney transplant patients. It found that patients with impaired immune function had a poorer immune response to the vaccine, especially against the new omicron variants. Modified vaccines targeting the omicron variant are needed.

Summary: COVID-19 has significantly impacted adrenal surgery, with an increase in surgeries for Cushing and malignant tumors during the acute phase and a delay in pheochromocytoma surgeries to the post-acute phase. The suspicion of malignancy formulated by the endocrine tumor board was accurate in the majority of cases.
