Is there a role for upper gastrointestinal contrast study to predict the outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy ? Lessons learnt from a prospective study
Conclusion: UGI contrast study can predict weight loss, HbA1c improvement, and GERD symptoms. The absence of fundus, small antrum, and rapid GDE are associated with better weight loss. HbA1c improvement is better with small antrum and rapid GDE. Tubular sleeve predisposes to vomiting and regurgitation. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Does powered stapler improve the mechanical integrity of gastrojejunal anastomosis compared to the current techniques ? Experimental study in ex vivo porcine models
Conclusion: Despite the limited number of samples, mechanical anastomosis showed a statistically higher BP when compared to HSA, suggesting better anastomotic integrity. The pLSA group showed promising results with the highest BP recorded among all groups; however, this did not reach statistical significance. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Comparative analysis of open, laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatic resection: The United Kingdom's first single-centre experience
Conclusion: Minimally invasive pancreatic resection offers potential advantages over ODP, with a trend showing RDP to be marginally superior when compared to conventional LDP, but it is accepted that that this is likely to be at greater expense compared to the other current techniques.

Minimally invasive surgery in India during the COVID-19 pandemic: A survey
Conclusion: MIS surgeons in India have adapted within a short time to the challenge of the pandemic by embracing pre-operative testing, PPE and new techniques/technologies to continue patient care. Innovations and low-cost indigenous customisations are the need of the hour for a developing country like India. Further studies are required to establish the true risk of viral transmission involved in MIS and the efficacies of the techniques/devices to reduce the spread of the virus.

First 100 minimally invasive liver resections in a new tertiary referral centre for liver surgery
Conclusions: The rate of MILS has been significantly increasing throughout the years. The benefits of MILS over the traditional open approach were confirmed. The main advantages include lower rates of post-operative complications, blood transfusions, bile leaks and a significantly decreased hospital stay. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Comparison of reverse puncture device and overlap in laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer
Conclusions: Both the RPD and overlap techniques are safe and applicable in LTG. However, RPD has the advantage of obtaining an adequate safe margin compared with that of overlap technique, especially in patients with gastro-oesophageal junction carcinoma.

Laparoscopic versus open inguinal hernia repair in children: A systematic review
Conclusion: The present review reiterates that both the LH and OH techniques for the PIH repair are comparable. However, in some aspects, the LH is superior to the OH in terms of operative time for bilateral hernias, post-operative complications rate and CMIH incidence rate. Rigorously designed RCTs are anticipated to confirm the clinical effects of both LH and OH. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Pure laparoscopic versus open donor hepatectomy for adult living donor liver transplantation & #8211; A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: Perioperative outcomes of PLDH are similar to the standard open approach in highly specialised centers with trend towards lesser blood loss and overall shorter hospital stay. Careful donor selection and standardisation of the technique are imperative for the successful implementation and adoption of the procedure worldwide. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)
