Modified equipment for facilitating the transoral vestibular approach to endoscopic thyroidectomy
Conclusions: The use of modified equipment permitted shorter operation times. The time difference was not statistically significant but does represent a significant time-saving. The use of the modified equipment will simplify and speed up the learning process for novice endoscopic surgeons. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Laparoscopic resection of ileocaecal duplication in children (report of 15 cases)
Conclusions: The laparoscopic approach allows for confirming the diagnosis and accurately defining the exact site of duplication, as well as for effective and safe treatment. Laparoscopic excision of IC duplication without bowel resection is a safe option and is worth promoting. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Preliminary study of short- and long-term outcome and quality of life after minimally invasive surgery for Crohn & #39;s disease: Comparison between single incision, robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopy
Conclusions: Minimally invasive technique for CD is feasible, even for complicated and recurrent disease. Our study demonstrated low rates of post-operative complications. However, it is a preliminary study with a small sample size. Further studies should be performed to assess the best surgical technique. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Robotic assistance in ventral hernia repair may decrease the incidence of hernia recurrence
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that robotic surgery maintains some of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery and may also provide the additional advantage of recurrence rate reduction. This may be explained by the ability to perform a more complex hernia repair with robotic assistance secondary to the ease of closure of the fascial defect. More research is needed to validate this finding. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Is a difficult gallbladder worth removing in its entirety ? & #8211; Outcomes of subtotal cholecystectomy
Conclusion: Subtotal cholecystectomy is a useful alternative during difficult gallbladder surgery. It should be considered early into the procedure preferably prior to conversion to an open procedure. Biliovascular injuries can be avoided and the Immediate and long-term outcomes are acceptable.

Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy and transoral video-assisted thyroidectomy: A comparison of two systematic reviews
Conclusions: TOVAT and MIVAT should not be considered in competition with each other, but seen simply as alternative choices. Both appear to be safe methods, comparable in terms of post-operative complications, although the main reason for using TOVAT seems to be purely aesthetic. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)
