Summary: This study aimed to compare laparoscopically guided and ultrasound-guided liposomal bupivacaine blockade for postoperative pain control in gynecologic oncology surgery. The results showed a significant reduction in oral narcotic use in the laparoscopically guided group compared to the ultrasound-guided group at 24 hours postoperatively, but no significant difference in total narcotic use over 72 hours. There were also no significant differences in satisfaction or pain scores between the two groups.

Summary: Preoperative lower back pain intensity is associated with the severity of postoperative pain after gynecologic laparoscopy. It can be used as a predictor for moderate-to-severe postoperative pain, with patients rated three or above experiencing more severe pain and requiring higher opioid use after surgery.

Summary: This study found no benefit for postoperative pain or opioid requirements in patients undergoing robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RA-RYGB) compared to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-RYGB), and the RA-RYGB group was more likely to report pain at the two-week follow-up.

Summary: The study found a higher rate of concurrent malignancy in patients with endosalpingiosis compared to endometriosis, with poorer overall survival. Factors such as age and cancer diagnosis at surgery were significant in the association between endosalpingiosis and gynecologic malignancy.

Summary: Postoperative opioid use following gynecologic surgery may lead to side effects and negative health consequences. Strategies such as adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols and multimodal analgesia management can help decrease the need for opioid use.

Summary: A retrospective study comparing robotic gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastrectomy found that robotic gastrectomy can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, especially in technically complex procedures. Patients requiring demanding anastomosis or D2 lymphadenectomy may benefit most from robotic gastrectomy.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of perioperative systemic lidocaine infusion on pain control after major gynecologic oncology surgery. Results showed that lidocaine infusion was as effective as epidural analgesia, with better outcomes in terms of time to first flatus and nausea-vomiting incidence.

Summary: This study evaluated the incremental cost and clinical outcomes associated with postoperative sepsis among surgical patients in Vietnam. The results showed that postoperative sepsis increased hospital length of stay, readmission rate, and reexamination rate, leading to a significant increase in clinical costs. Therefore, developing appropriate prevention strategies is crucial for improving healthcare quality and saving medical resources.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility of ureteral navigation using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging during complex gynecologic surgery. All patients had successful identification of ureteral pathways using ICG-NIRF imaging, with no cases of ureteral injury or transfusion. This technique improves the safety and simplicity of the surgery.

Summary: Robotic-assisted laparoscopy and laparoscopic surgery have similar intra- and postoperative outcomes in left-sided colectomies, with similar rates of anastomotic leakages. Although robotic-assisted surgeries have longer operative times, they have lower conversion rates to open surgery.

Summary: The prevalence of ERBB2 gene amplification was investigated among patients with gynecologic malignancies. The study found that ERBB2 amplification is frequently encountered in uterine serous carcinoma and mucinous ovarian carcinoma, but less common in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma.
