Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Resection of a Congenital Tracheobiliary Fistula in a Neonate: Technical Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: Use of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for fistula resection has been reported in only one other neonate and provides a clinically less invasive option compared with open surgical ligation and resection. To our knowledge, this is the first English language report of thoracoscopic resection in a neonate with congenital tracheobiliary fistula.

Role of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Imaging in Minimally Invasive Resection of Colorectal Liver Metastases
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is an easy and reproducible method to detect hepatic lesions, both primary and metastatic. This review reports the potential benefits of this technique as a tactile mimicking visual tool and a navigator guide in minimally invasive liver resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). PubMed and MEDLINE databases were searched for studies reporting the use of intravenous injection of ICG before minimally invasive surgery for CLRM. The search was performed for publications reported from the first study in 2014 to April 2021. The final review included 13 articles: 6 prospective co...

Transvaginal Specimen Extraction After Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Tumors
Conclusions: In the selected cases, transvaginal specimen extraction was feasible after laparoscopic gastric resections in patients with stomach tumors. As far as we know, this was the largest study on the transvaginal extraction of gastric tumors. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Urgent Endoscopy Improves Hemostasis in Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding Following Biliary-pancreatic Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis
Conclusions: Endoscopic hemostasis is relatively safe and effective in controlling UIGB after BPS. Prompt intervention (≤12 h) could improve the success rate of endoscopic hemostasis. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Preferential Mobilization of Colonic Hepatic Flexure Facilitates Pancreaticoduodenectomy Procedures
Background: Several studies recommend that colonic hepatic flexure (CHF) should be mobilized preliminarily in minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, there are little data to support that preferential mobilization of the CHF can positively affect the perioperative events of PD. We aimed to assess the effect of preferential mobilization of the CHF in PD. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent PD was performed between 2016 and 2019. Clinical characteristics, operative data, and postoperative surgical complications were recorded. Results: The study included 668 pati...

The Impact of Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Angiography on Intraoperative Decision Making in Right Hemicolectomy: A Case-Control Study
Conclusion: The use of NIR-ICG altered the intraoperative course for notable subset of patients undergoing right hemicolectomy without prolonging operative time. Larger prospective studies are required to evaluate the potential for the routine use of this technology to reduce AL rate in right hemicolectomy.

A Novel Strategy for Transmural Stent Removal in Necrotizing Pancreatitis Undergoing Endoscopic Transmural Necrosectomy
Conclusions: The novel strategy of transmural stent removal during last necrosectomy might be feasible which needed further validation. Compared with the convention strategy, the novel strategy avoids one endoscopy procedure and should be considered in clinical practice.

Testosterone Changes in Men With Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes 6 Months After Sleeve Gastrectomy With Transit Bipartition
This study investigated the effect of the novel metabolic/bariatric surgery procedure, sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition (SG-TB), on serum total testosterone and metabolic variable changes in men with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Methods: In a prospective single-center cohort study, laboratory samples were analyzed preoperatively and at 6 months following SG-TB in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. Changes in metabolic parameters and testosterone were evaluated. Results: Between July 2018 and March 2019, 166 patients with a mean baseline BMI of 34.9±3.8 kg/m2 (mean age 51.5±9.3...

Proposal of a Novel Index of Abdominal Compliance and the Association With Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
In this study, we devised a novel index as a surrogate of AC to evaluate the association between AC and postoperative pain in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 83 patients who underwent elective transabdominal preperitoneal repair from 2019 to 2021 at Heisei Memorial Hospital. Insufflation pressure was set to low pressure (8 mm Hg). The abdominal compliance index [ACI; insufflated intra-abdominal volume (L)/body surface area (m2)] was utilized to evaluate the association between AC and postoperative pain. Results: ACI was evaluated in 30 patients. Median ACI was 1.53 ...
