Pros and Cons of Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Via Vestibular Approach: A Comparative Study
The objective of this study was to explore the feasibility and safety of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy via vestibular approach (TOETVA) compared with endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilateral areola approach (ETBAA) in the treatment of patients with benign thyroid nodules.
Materials and Methods:
From January 2017 to December 2018, 60 patients who received TOETVA were enrolled as the research group; 65 patients who underwent ETBAA were included as the control group. A retrospective study was performed using the clinical data for these cases. All patients were diagnosed with benign nodules by preoperative examinatio...

Laparoscopic Versus Open Roux-en-Y Choledochojejunostomy: A Single-institute Experience With Literature Review
Objectives:
The current clinical study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of open choledochojejunostomy (OCJ) and laparoscopic choledochojejunostomy (LCJ) in patients with benign and malignant biliary tract disorders.
Patients and Methods:
The clinical data of 40 consecutive patients who underwent either OCJ or LCJ from January 2015 to February 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical parameters analyzed include baseline information, intraoperative characteristics, and postoperative clinical outcomes. The patients were divided into OCJ group and LCJ group based on the surgical approach performed.

Treatment of Hepatic Hydatid Disease: Role of Surgery, ERCP, and Percutaneous Drainage: A Retrospective Study
Conclusions:
ERCP should be the primary method for the diagnosis and treatment for hepatic hydatid cysts ruptured into the ducts. İn some cases, high-flow hydatid cysts with rupture into the bile ducts or persistent biliary fistulas can be treated with ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy, biliary stent, PD, and nasobiliary drainage without the need for surgical intervention.

Rib-oriented Thoracoscopic Sympathetic Surgery for Hyperhidrosis: Prospective Long-term Results and Quality of Life
Conclusion:
Thoracoscopic R3 to R4 clipping appears to be a safe and effective treatment for PPAH. Although postoperative CS was common and higher after R2-bottom clipping, this did not seem to affect patients’ satisfaction and improvement in QoL.

Stent Insertion With High Intensity–Focused Ultrasound Ablation for Biliary Obstruction Caused by Pancreatic Carcinoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study was designed to assess the clinical efficacy of stent insertion with high intensity–focused ultrasound ablation (HIFUA) in patients with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) as a consequence of pancreatic carcinoma (PC).
Materials and Methods:
This was a single-center, open-label, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Consecutive patients with MBO caused by PC were randomly assigned to undergo stent insertion with or without HIFUA from June 2019 to February 2020. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03962478).
Results:
In total, 92 patients were enrolled in this study and assign...

Cyanoacrylate Glue Versus Absorbable Tacks in Mesh Fixation for Laparoscopic Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion:
Adding to known data, we observed no significant difference in postoperative pain, demonstrating that cyanoacrylate glue is a viable and safe alternative fixation method to absorbable tacks in laparoscopic TEP IHR. As secondary outcomes, cyanoacrylate glue permits some patients to return to work early, and we observed regular lateral mesh glue fixation without increased pain or complications.

Quality of Life Outcomes Following Single-stage Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration Versus 2-stage Endoscopic Sphincterotomy Followed by Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Management of Cholelithiasis With Choledocholithiasis
Introduction:
With various studies in the literature showing laparoscopic common bile duct (CBD) exploration to have equal or similar results when compared with endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) clearance, decision-making in regard to the treatment modality to be used may become debatable. Thus, quality of life (QoL) data may assist both the patient and the clinician in deciding the management of the disease. The present prospective randomized trial was undertaken to compare QoL of patients undergoing treatment with these 2 approaches.
Methodology:
The study was conducted March 1, 2013, to September 31, 2016. Cons...

Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery: An Alternative Perineal Approach to Treat Rectal Prolapse: A Video Vignette
Conclusions:
The transanal endoscopic procedure allows improved endoscopic vision, and the reconstruction is performed transpelvically by fixing the anastomosis suture to the pelvic wall to prevent recurrence. Therefore, we think it is a valid alternative to other perineal procedures in patients in whom abdominal surgery is contraindicated.

Mind the Gap: Current Treatment Alternatives for GERD Patients Failing Medical Treatment and Not Ready for a Fundoplication
Background:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is associated with Barrett esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and significantly impacts quality of life. Medical management is the first line therapy with surgical fundoplication as an alternative therapy. However, a small portion of patients who fail medical therapy are referred for surgical consultation. This creates a “gap” in therapy for those patients dissatisfied with medical therapy but are not getting referred for surgical consultation. Three procedures have been designed to address these patients. These include radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the lower esopha...

Application of Laparoscopic Technique in the Treatment of Hepatolithiasis
Hepatolithiasis is commonly encountered in Southeastern and East Asian countries, and its incidence is increasing in Western countries. For symptomatic hepatolithiasis or asymptomatic hepatolithiasis with signs of liver atrophy or malignancy, surgical intervention is needed, especially when peroral cholangioscopy and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotomy are not suitable or fail to be performed. Currently, laparoscopic surgery is gradually replacing traditional open surgery and becoming a better option. Various types of laparoscopic surgeries, including laparoscopic hepatectomy, laparoscopic biliary explorati...
