Laparoscopic giant hiatal hernia repair with absorbable mesh
Conclusion: The best operative approach for large hiatal hernias remains far from standardised: There is a lack of evidence on the use of a mesh for this kind of surgery as well as substantial controversy over the definition of what a giant hiatal hernia is. Nevertheless, the results from this study and the main studies in the literature seem to be encouraging in improving giant hiatal hernia repair outcomes. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

A comparison of paravertebral block, erector spinae plane block and the combination of erector spinae plane block and paravertebral block for post-operative analgesia after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A randomised controlled trial
Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided PVB combined with ESPB provided superior analgesia to ESPB for VATS. The combination of PVB and ESPB had a similar analgesic effect compared with PVB alone. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Anatomical mapping of the biliary tree during laparoscopic cholecystectomy by using indocyanine green dye
Conclusions: Fluorescent cholangiography during LC is a safe and non-invasive method, allowing superior anatomical visualisation of the biliary tree in comparison to simple laparoscopy. This method can correct misinterpretation errors and detect aberrant duct anatomy, thus increasing the confidence of the operating surgeon enabling safe dissection. This simple technique has the potential to become standard practice to avoid bile duct injury during LC. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Role of enhanced recovery after surgery in total laparoscopic hysterectomy
Conclusion: Following ERAS principles in TLH results in decrease in post-operative nausea and vomiting, post-operative opioid requirement and hospital stay. Hence, the ERAS principles should be the standard practice in TLH even in a developing country setup. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)
