A prospective case series to evaluate subcostal nerve injury with high-resolution ultrasound in posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy
ConclusionIn this exporatory case series the incidence of postoperative damage to the subcostal nerve, both clinically and radiologically, was 60% after posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy. There was no association with pain, and the spontaneous recovery rate was high.Graphical Abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Paraesophageal hernia recurrence following repair: making the case for reoperative surgery in a propensity-matched cohort
ConclusionsMost PEHR patients have symptomatic improvement with minimal complications and reoperations despite frequent radiographic recurrence. Hernia type, crural closure, fundoplication, and mesh usage were not significantly associated with recurrence or symptom improvement. Compared to initial PEHR, reoperative PEHRs had lower rates of symptom improvement but similar rates of recurrence, complications, and need for reoperation. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic liver resection or enucleation for giant hepatic hemangioma: how to choose?
ConclusionsLaparoscopic treatment for HH could be feasibly and safely performed by both LE and LR. For patients with PER higher than 38.9%, the LR approach is recommended.Graphical abstract (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Reasons for conversions in thoracoscopic repairs of neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernias: a systematic review
ConclusionsNeonatal thoracoscopic repair for CDH is associated with conversion in 20% of cases. Based on available data, defect size and patch repairs have been identified as the predominant reasons, followed by technical difficulties to reduce the herniated organs and ventilation related issues. However, data specifically relating to conversion is poorly documented in a high number of reports (40%). Accurate data reporting in future will be important to better estimate and quantify reasons for conversions in neonatal thoracoscopy for CDH. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Effect of an intravenous acetaminophen/ibuprofen fixed-dose combination on postoperative opioid consumption and pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
ConclusionPerioperative administration of acetaminophen/ibuprofen significantly decreased analgesic needs in patients undergoing VATS, providing an effective postoperative pain management strategy, and potentially minimizing the need for stronger analgesics. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Laparoscopic versus open parenchymal sparing liver resections for high tumour burden colorectal liver metastases: a propensity score matched analysis
ConclusionLaparoscopic approach should be considered in selected patients scheduled to parenchymal sparing LR for high tumour burden disease as associated to shorter LOS and similar postoperative and long-term outcomes compared to the open approach. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

Evaluation of 30-day outcomes for open ventral hernia repair using self-gripping versus nonself-gripping mesh
ConclusionsIn patients undergoing ventral hernia repair with mesh, self-gripping mesh is a safe type of mesh to use. Use of self-gripping mesh may be associated with lower rates of SSOPI when compared to nonself-gripping mesh. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)
