Predictive Risk Factors for Postoperative Complications and Its Impact on Survival in Laparoscopic Resection for Colon Cancer
Conclusions: The use of corticosteroids, oral anticoagulants, blood transfusions, and conversion to open surgery are all independent predictive factors of postoperative complications. Sigmoid resections are associated with fewer complications. In laparoscopic resections of the colon, complications do not negatively affect long-term oncologic outcomes.

Scarless Completion Thyroidectomy After Initial Transoral Approach for Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: How and When to Start?
Conclusions: The outcomes are encouraging and demonstrate the feasibility of scarless completion thyroidectomy after initial TOETVA. The re-TOETVA procedure should be completed within 14 days after the initial TOETVA procedure, TAA beyond 14 days, and re-TCA may be completed at any time. The cTOETVA techniques using re-TOETVA or TAA have better cosmetic results than re-TCA in oncological equivalency. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach Versus Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Via Areola Approach for Patients With Unilateral Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study
This study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of TOETVA and ETA. Materials and Methods: A total of 95 patients who underwent TOETVA or ETA with unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma were enrolled in this study from March 2019 to February 2020. The basic information (such as gender, age), intraoperative hemorrhage, postoperative drainage volume, hospital durations, intraoperative and postoperative complications, operative time, central lymph node dissection time, total number of central lymph nodes, and number of metastatic central lymph nodes were compared. Results: The operative time of the TOETVA g...

Totally Laparoscopic Ileocolic Resection for Complex Enterovisceral Fistulas in Crohn’s Disease: A Comparative Study
Conclusions: Our experience shows that the laparoscopic approach for complex enterovisceral fistulas in selected CD patients is both feasible and safe in the hands of experienced inflammatory bowel disease surgeons with extensive expertise in laparoscopic surgery. Larger study cohorts are needed to confirm these findings. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Causes and Countermeasures of Difficult Selective Biliary Cannulation: A Large Sample Size Retrospective Study
This study aims to provide practical advice on safe operation for endoscopists. Materials and Methods: Data from the ERCP database of our medical center from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent ERCP for the first time. Data pertaining to diseases, anatomic factors, difficult cannulation rates, cannulation success rates, and postoperative complication rates for various assistive cannulation techniques were analyzed by using the Pearson χ2 tests and Fisher exact tests. Results: The difficult cannulation rate was 8.1%. The main influencing factors were benign and ...

Serum Amylase Levels is a Predictor for Negative Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Suspected Common Bile Duct Stones
Negative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for suspected common bile duct stones (CBDS) may be associated with significant morbidity and should be avoided. Between 2010 and 2018, 85 patients who have undergone negative ERCP for suspected CBDS were retrospectively evaluated and compared with 318 patients with positive findings. Predictors for negative ERCP were assessed. Patients with negative ERCP were younger; had increased levels of serum amylase, alanine transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase; and increased hemoglobin. Even though preprocedure computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography demonstratin...

Impact of Obesity on Surgical Outcomes of Laparoscopic Appendectomy: Lessons Learned From 2000 Cases in an Urban Teaching Hospital
Background: As the prevalence of obesity continues to increase worldwide, we aimed to determine the surgical outcomes of obese patients with acute appendicitis undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing LA during the period 2006 to 2019 was performed. The cohort was divided into 2 groups: G1, patients with body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 and G2: patients with body mass index (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Simultaneous Small/Medium Umbilical Hernia Repair With Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG): Results of a Retrospective Case-matched Study
Purpose: Periumbilical hernias are a common finding in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery; however, the timing of repair is still debated. The aim of this paper is to compare the outcomes of simultaneous versus delayed mesh repair of umbilical hernia in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods: We retrospectively compared 2 groups of morbidly obese patients with small/medium periumbilical hernia (up to 4 cm) in a case-matched study: the first group underwent LSG with simultaneous periumbilical hernia repair; in the second, hernioplasty was performed after weight loss...

Analysis of the Positional Relationship Among the Operator, Camera, and Monitor: Overcoming the Difficulties of Mirror-image Conditions During Laparoscopic Surgery
Conclusions: Mirror-image surgical conditions provided the most difficult setting, because surgeons and assistants often became disoriented, and task performance was most degraded. However, just 4 days of training was found to be sufficient to overcome the difficulties encountered while performing laparoscopic procedures under mirror-image conditions.

Advantages of the Left-handed Ultrasonic Shears Technique for Robotic Gastrectomy
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate advantages of the left-handed ultrasonic shears technique in robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 67 consecutive gastric cancer patients who underwent robotic gastrectomy. Fifty-six patients underwent gastrectomy with the left-handed ultrasonic shears technique (the left hand group), and 11 patients underwent surgery with the conventional approach (the conventional group). Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Results: Operative blood loss, morbidity, and mortality were similar...
