Pure Laparoscopic Living Donor Left Lateral Sectionectomy Using Glissonean Approach and Original Bridging Technique
Conclusions: We herein present standardized L-LLS using the Glissonean approach and bridging technique for pediatric LDLT. Our technique can secure a longer margin of the left hepatic duct for recipients’ hepaticojejunotomy. Our results have demonstrated the advantage in pediatric LDLT, especially in patients with CBA after the Kasai procedure. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Mediastinoscopy-assisted Transhiatal Esophagectomy (MATHE) in End-stage Achalasia and Gastric Bypass: Technique and Early Results
Conclusions: MATHE can be safely performed in patients with a history of gastric bypass and ESA without requiring thoracoscopic mobilization of the esophagus. Further studies are required to validate reproducibility of our technique as an alternative to using a thoracic incision. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Thoracoscopic Esophageal Atresia Repair: Outcomes Analysis Between Primary and Staged Procedures
Conclusions: Successful thoracoscopic primary- and staged-EA repairs have been reported with low rate of complications. Outcomes between primary and staged repairs do not show significant differences with regards to re-fistulation, anastomotic leaks, conversion rates, and mortality.

Umbilical Hernia Repair in Cirrhotic Patients With Ascites: A Systemic Review of Literature
Conclusions: Our results indicate that early elective repair of uncomplicated umbilical hernias is recommended in cirrhotic patients with tolerable hepatic functional reserve or when the expected time for liver transplantation is>3 months. Umbilical hernias are supposed to be corrected in the process of liver transplantation, provided that patients could have a better prospect to be transplanted within 3 months. Control of ascites is a crucial part to successful outcomes of umbilical hernia repair. Large volume paracentesis, concomitant peritoneovenous shunting with herniorrhaphy and transjugular intrahepatic portosyst...

Learning Curve in Robotic Primary Ventral Hernia Repair Using Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh: A Cumulative Sum Analysis
Background: Cumulative sum (CUSUM) learning curves (LCs) are useful to analyze individual performance and to evaluate the acquisition of new skills and the evolution of those skills as experience is accumulated. The purpose of this study is to present a CUSUM LC based on the operative times of robotic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (rIPOM) ventral hernia repair (VHR) and identify differences observed throughout its phases. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent rIPOM repair for elective, midline, and primary hernias were included. All procedures were performed exclusively by one surgeon within a 5-year period...
