The Management of Indirect Inguinal Hernia Sac in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Systemic Review of Literature
Conclusion: Indirect sac transection during laparoscopic indirect inguinal hernia repair is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative seroma. Additional adjuncts to the divided distal hernia sac, including distal sac fixation with either suture or tacks, are effective methods to prevent postoperative seroma.

Laparoscopic Versus Open Appendectomy for Appendicitis in Pregnancy: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Objectives: The clinical safety, efficacy and feasibility of laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) compared with open appendectomy (OA) in pregnancy are still controversial. Herein, we are aiming to compare the clinical outcomes of LA and OA in patients with acute appendicitis during their pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing laparoscopic and OA in pregnancy identifying using PubMed, Web of science, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Ovid and Scopus. Two independent reviewers extracted data on surgical complication, fetal loss, preterm delivery, hospital stay,...

Per-oral Endoscopic Myotomy and Other Applications of Third Space Endoscopy: Current Status and Future Perspectives
Introduction: The modification of NOTES (natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery) by mucosal safety flap has introduced us to the world of third space endoscopy (TSE). POEM (per-oral endoscopic myotomy) for achalasia cardia being its first vista, the realm expanded so that we can now remove en bloc a subepithelial/intramural tumor by POET (per-oral endoscopic tumor resection), perform G-POEM (gastric per-oral endoscopic myotomy) for refractory gastroparesis, restore esophageal continuity in complete obstruction by performing POETRE (per-oral endoscopic tunneling for the restoration of the esophagus), divide the...

Small Bowel Obstruction After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Caused by Hemobezoar: A Case Series and Review of Literature
We present a case series of 6 cases of SBO caused by hemobezoar. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective database including patients who underwent LRYGB from January 2010 to December 2019 has been performed. All the patients who underwent reoperation because of an SBO caused by an intraluminal blood clot were included in the present study. Results: Six of 843 LRYGB patients developed an hemobezoar (0.71%). Primary LRYGB was uneventful in all cases. SBO symptoms developed after a mean interval of 26.6 hours from the primary procedure. All reoperations were performed with the laparoscopic approach. I...

Urinary Retention Following Inguinal Herniorrhaphy: Role of Neuromuscular Blockade Reversal
In this study we assess association between reversal technique and POUR. Methods: Records of adult patients undergoing unilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy with neuromuscular blockade from January 2013 to September 2020 were reviewed for POUR (unplanned postoperative insertion of urinary catheter). A propensity-adjusted analysis was performed to assess POUR in neostigmine/glycopyrrolate versus sugammadex using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) to adjust for potential confounding. Results: We identified 181 patients who underwent herniorrhaphy with amnio-steroidal neuromuscular blockers, 75 (41.4%...

Initial Results of Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy With Double-tract Reconstruction Using Oblique Jejunogastrostomy Method on the Long-term Outcome of Postoperative Nutritional Status: A Propensity Score-matched Study
Conclusions: The postoperative nutritional status as long-term outcomes of patients who underwent LPG-DTR using OJG was significantly superior to those who underwent LTG-RY. The results hereby presented suggest that LPG-DTR using OJG for gastric cancer produces better postoperative nutritional status. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Laparoscopic Appendectomy in the Days of COVID-19
Conclusions: During the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the rate of complicated appendicitis. Patients should be strongly encouraged not to refrain from medical treatment and go to the emergency room with the persistence of symptoms.

Robotic General Surgery Resident Training Curriculum: A Pilot Experience
Conclusions: Since the curriculum onset, residents participated in an increasing number of robotic operative cases and were actively engaged in simulation exercises. The establishment of this curriculum has facilitated the integration of resident education into the utilization of robotic technology. This study highlights the value of a formal robotic surgery curriculum for general surgery residency training. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Robot-assisted Treatment of Epigastric Hernias With a Suprapubic Approach
Conclusions: In the robot-assisted treatment of hernias of the epigastric region, a suprapubic port placement can be considered instead of a lateral one to have a better field overview, especially in subxiphoid hernias. Further studies are needed to assess the benefits and limitations of such technique. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Outcomes of 601 Colorectal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissections in a Single Western Center: Is Right Colon Location Still a Major Concern?
Conclusions: Our results represent the largest material concerning ESD of colorectal lesions in the West and show that ESD is characterized by a high rate of successful resections with a low risk of complications. Thus, confirming that it is possible to obtain results similar to Asian centers and that colorectal ESD procedures can be implemented in clinical routine in western countries. Nevertheless, ESD in the right colon is still related with high rate of complications, so qualification for the ESD procedure should be very careful and discussed with the patient and should be performed by an experienced endoscopist af...

Comparison of General, Epidural, and Spinal Anesthesia in Laparoscopic TEP (Total Extraperitoneal Repair) for Inguinal Hernia
Purpose: Laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) is one of the most preferred minimally invasive methods for inguinal hernia repair. In our study, we aimed to compare the advantages and disadvantages of general anesthesia (GA), spinal anesthesia (SA), and epidural anesthesia (EA) for TEP operations. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study involving 221 patients who underwent TEP surgery for inguinal hernia between January 2018 and July 2020. Patients were divided into 3 groups as GA (n=77), SA (n=70), and EA (n=74). Demographic data of the patients, duration of anesthesia and surgery, periop...

Factors That Predict the Success of Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration for Choledocholithiasis: A 10-Year Study
Background: Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) can be performed to treat choledocholithiasis at the time of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study was to identify factors that predict the success of LCBDE. Materials and Methods: A retrospective audit was performed on patients who underwent LCBDE for the management of choledocholithiasis at Northern Health between 2008 and 2018. Results: A total of 513 patients were identified with an overall success rate of 90.8%. Most LCBDE were done through a transcystic approach with the remainder through a choledochotomy. When comparing pat...
