When Should We Perform Intraoperative Cholangiography? A Prospective Assessment of 1000 Consecutive Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies
Background: Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) has been historically used to detect common bile duct (CBD) stones, delineate biliary anatomy, and avoid or promptly diagnose bile duct injuries (BDIs) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). We aimed to determine the usefulness of routine IOC during LC in an urban teaching hospital. Methods: A consecutive series of patients undergoing LC with routine IOC from 2016 to 2018 was prospectively analyzed. Primary outcomes of interest were: CBD stones, BDI, and anatomical variations of the biliary tract. Secondary outcomes of interest were: IOC success rate, IOC time,...

Fluorescence and Ultrasound-guided Laparoscopic Resection of Caudate Lobe for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Located in the Retrocaval Portion
Conclusions: A laparoscopic isolated caudate resection for HCC located in the retrocaval portion of the cirrhotic liver seems to be feasible in selected patients and fluorescence imaging and CEIOUS navigation guidance could guarantee a safe and successful surgery.

Totally Laparoscopic Transhiatal Middle and Lower Mediastinal Lymphadenectomy for Esophageal Cancer
We present a novel, totally laparoscopic transhiatal technique that may reduce respiratory complications following thoracoscopic esophagectomy. We performed a series of combined, thoracoscopic and laparoscopic, McKeown esophagectomies via a neck-abdominal first approach. Middle and lower mediastinal lymphadenectomy, subtracheal lymph node removal, and esophageal mobilization were performed via a totally laparoscopic transhiatal approach. Subsequently, upper mediastinal lymph nodes were dissected using a thoracoscopic approach. Finally, an esophagogastric anastomosis was constructed in the neck. For the 36 patients in this ...

Technique for Reduced Trocar Decapsulation of a Giant Nonparasitic Splenic Cyst
Conclusions: Decapsulation of a giant nonparasitic splenic cyst is feasible to be performed by 3-trocar laparoscopy. This technique allows to improve the patient’s comfort and the cosmetic results, to reduce the postoperative pain and to finally avoid a preoperative vaccine.

Employing a Xiphoid-umbilicus Approach in an Endoscopic Totally Extraperitoneal Procedure for the Preperitoneal Repair of Midline Ventral Hernias
Conclusions: Endoscopic preperitoneal repair helps reduce damage to the abdominal wall during a TES procedure. Compared with a suprapubic approach, employing a xiphoid-umbilicus approach facilitates preperitoneal repair for small ventral hernias of the middle-upper abdomen. This will be a future option for minimally invasive surgical repair of such ventral hernias (Supplemental Digital Content 1, Video, http://links.lww.com/SLE/A287).

Challenging the Contraindications of Minimally Invasive Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection: Report of 2 Cases
Conclusions: Skin infiltration, previous lymphadenectomy, and previous groin therapy might not represent absolute contraindications in selected cases and in the hands of experienced surgeons. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Wireless Light-emitting Marker Using Magnetic Field Resonance for Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery
Conclusion: We have developed an innovative, radiation-free and reliable light-emitting marker system that uses a magnetic field resonance mechanism that emits four colors of light during laparoscopic surgery. (Source: Surgical Laparoscopy, Endoscopy and Percutaneous Techniques)

Intraoperative Measures to Reduce the Risk of COVID-19 Transmission During Minimally Invasive Procedures: A Systematic Review and Critical Appraisal of Societies’ Recommendations
Conclusions: While some of the early recommendations advised against the use of MIS, they were not strictly based on the available scientific evidence. After further consideration of the literature and of the well-known benefits of laparoscopy to the patient, later recommendations shifted to encouraging the use of MIS as long as adequate precautions could be taken to protect the safety of the OR staff. The release and implementation of recommendations should be based on evidence-based practices that allows health care systems to provide safe surgical and medical assistance.

Effectiveness of Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Subcutaneous Onlay Laparoscopic Approach (SCOLA) Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Study
Conclusion: Analgesia with SCTAP block seems to represent a feasible and efficient strategy for pain management in patients undergoing SCOLA surgery, allowing good quality analgesia, low opioids requirements, and reduced incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

“Early” Reoperation to Treat Complications Following Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: The Sooner the Better
Conclusions: Despite a greater risk of negative findings, ER within 48 hours after the suspicion of a complication after a LCS offers higher chances of using a laparoscopic approach and it could probably provide better postoperative outcomes.

The Diagnostic Value of Coagulation Indicators and Inflammatory Markers in Distinguishing Between Strangulated and Simple Intestinal Obstruction
Conclusions: Fib and CRP demonstrate good performance in predicting strangulation and are indicative of intestinal necrosis and ischemia. The combination of this coagulation indicator and inflammatory marker holds potential for better discrimination between strangulated and simple intestinal obstruction.

Risks of Laparoscopic Harvest of Free Intestinal Flaps for Esophageal Reconstruction
Conclusion: Prolonged operative times, unexpected leakage at the anastomosis sites, partial loss of flaps, possible risk of vascular pedicle damage or venous compromise, demanding pedicle dissection in obese patients, and requirement of conversion to laparotomy are the major drawbacks of harvesting free intestinal flaps by laparoscopy.
