Laparoscopic intracorporeal ileal ureter replacement: multi-institutional data from 102 patients
Conclusions: Intracorporeal laparoscopic ileal ureteral replacement in cases of extensive ureteral lesions offers optimal long-term outcomes and a low complication rate. Ileocalycostomy constitutes a viable option in the small group of patients with long proximal ureteral strictures and intrarenal pelvis.PMID:38265869 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2302889 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Natural increase in the efficiency of ablation of ventricular tachyarrhythmias using high-density mapping in patients with non-ischemic etiology
CONCLUSION: In summary, the study highlights the efficacy and safety of high-density mapping ablation in treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias, especially from the right ventricular outflow tract in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The success rate of the procedure was 95%. This approach proves beneficial for patients unresponsive to antiarrhythmic therapy, enhancing both the quality of life and potentially reducing mortality in patients with ventricular arrhythmias.PMID:38240355 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2305141 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Arterial embolization via retrograde approach using steerable microcatheter and triaxial system
We report a case of postoperative pseudoaneurysm, successfully treated with selective arterial embolization, using a steerable microcatheter and triaxial system via retrograde approach. A pseudoaneurysm was detected in the dorsal pancreatic artery, a severely narrow and steeply inverted branch of the superior mesenteric artery, making microcatheter insertion via the antegrade approach challenging. However, a steerable microcatheter was advanced beyond the orifice and the tip was reversed, changing the route to retrograde allowing for easy insertion of the microguidewire. Subsequently, a small microcatheter was advanced bey...

Outcomes of conventional and advanced energy devices in laparoscopic surgery: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: Although new electrosurgical devices seem an appealing and safer option, there is still insufficient evidence for one vessel-sealing technology to be considered superior to another. Therefore, monopolar and conventional bipolar (CB) are still widely used in laparoscopic gynecology.PMID:38164811 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2023.2274396 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)
