Summary: This study systematically evaluated the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). The results showed that RALM had advantages in terms of less intraoperative bleeding, lower incidence of blood transfusions, shorter postoperative hospital stay, fewer transitions to open stomach, and lower incidence of postoperative complications compared to LM, while LM had a significant advantage in terms of operative time.

Summary: The use of misoprostol at open myomectomy has been shown to significantly reduce blood loss, decrease drop in hemoglobin, lower the need for blood transfusion, and shorten operative time, without affecting postoperative pyrexia or length of postoperative stay.

Summary: This meta-analysis compared the outcomes of hybrid laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy and open pancreatoduodenectomy, showing that hybrid laparoscopic surgery had significantly longer operative time but comparable postoperative parameters and major morbidity to open surgery.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the postoperative outcomes between laparoscopic and open feeding jejunostomy. The results showed that laparoscopic approach had a lower postoperative complication rate compared with laparotomy, especially after excluding major concomitant procedures. Therefore, laparoscopic feeding jejunostomy demonstrated superior performance in terms of postoperative complications.

Summary: This study compared robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM), conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (CLM), and abdominal myomectomy (AM) for uterine fibroid treatment. RALM was found to be superior to AM in all assessed parameters except operation duration. RALM performed similarly to CLM in most parameters; however, it had reduced intraoperative bleeding and lower conversion rate to laparotomy in patients with small fibroids, making it a safer overall approach.

Summary: In this study, it was found through meta-analysis that laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (LDH) in living donor liver transplant is associated with shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, and fewer postoperative complications compared to open surgery. However, open surgery showed a significant advantage in operation time over laparoscopic surgery.

Summary: Complications of myomectomy are rare and highly dependent on surgeon's skills and patient selection. Previous meta-analyses had limitations, and this study aimed to provide an updated review of complications comparing laparoscopic myomectomy (LMy) to open conservative myomectomy. The results showed that LMy had fewer complications in terms of blood loss, post-operative fever, pain levels at 48 hours post-op, and analgesia requests when compared to laparotomy. These findings support previous meta-analyses and suggest LMy is preferable in achieving better clinical results with fewer complications.

Summary: A meta-analysis of 3975 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients compared the outcomes of laparoscopic hepatectomy (Lap-ICC) and open hepatectomy (Open-ICC). The results showed that Lap-ICC had advantages in terms of lymph node dissection, metastasis, intraoperative bleeding, blood transfusion rate, hospital stay, R0 resection rate, and tumor recurrence rate, while there was no difference in operation time, lymph node dissection, incision margin distance, complications rate, and 1-, 3-, and 5-year DFS and OS rates.

Summary: The study evaluated the detection of spindle cells (SCs) in peritoneal washings during laparoscopic and open myomectomies. Results showed that SCs were observed in both groups, indicating that the dissemination of SCs may be related to the manipulation of myomas.

Summary: Laparoscopy is a common procedure for benign gynecological tumors, but it can be challenging for myomas. Ongoing research focuses on improving outcomes through port access, suture type, morcellation, and complication management. Myomectomy is the main surgical option for uterus-sparing procedures, with laparoscopic technique being crucial due to potential impacts on fertility and pregnancy outcomes. This review collates data on different suture techniques, including advantages, difficulties, and possible long-term impacts.

Summary: This study aims to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure with open Hartmann's procedure. The study found that laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure is associated with a shorter length of stay and a lower risk of surgical site infections. Additionally, laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure has a high colostomy reversal rate. In clinically suitable patients, laparoscopic Hartmann's procedure is a superior choice to open Hartmann's procedure.

Summary: This meta-analysis aims to compare laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in terms of short-term and long-term surgical outcomes, recovery, and oncological results. The results show that LDG leads to less intraoperative blood loss, faster patient recovery, and fewer complications. Moreover, LDG meets the clinical requirements in terms of lymph node yield, adequacy of resection, and survival.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the test-to-delivery interval on the performance of ultrasound and MRI in predicting birthweight. The results showed that MRI performed best in predicting birthweight greater than gestational age if delivery occurred within two weeks of the examination, with a slight decrease thereafter, while ultrasound performance decreased drastically over time.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate whether induction of labor is associated with a lower risk of cesarean section in patients with isolated polyhydramnios. The study found that planned induction was associated with a lower rate of cesarean delivery compared to expectant management, but the difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, no differences were observed in maternal or fetal secondary outcomes.

Summary: This systematic review examined the comorbidity of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and their impact on metabolism, hormone levels, and reproduction. The findings showed a high prevalence of comorbidity between the two conditions, which may have significant clinical implications for patient management.
