A Double-Blinded, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Elective Nonhysterectomy Laparoscopic Surgery
Gynaecological laparoscopy is recognized as substantially advantageous compared with laparotomy for many health outcomes, including a lower risk of postoperative infection (POI) [1]. Currently, global guidelines recommend against antibiotic prophylaxis for elective, non-hysterectomy benign gynaecological laparoscopy [1, 2]. However, these guidelines are based on level C evidence, with all guidelines recognizing the lack of high-quality data to support these statements.

Prospective Cohort Study Quantifying the Effect of the Levalap 1.0 ™ on the Distance between the Abdominal Wall and Intra-Abdominal Víscera
Over 13 million laparoscopic procedures are performed globally every year. The LevaLap 1.0 ™ device may facilitate safe abdominal access when using the Veress needle for initial abdominal insufflation during laparoscopic surgery. We undertook this study to test the hypothesis that use of the LevaLap 1.0™ would increase the distance from the abdominal wall to underlying viscera and the retroperitoneum, including from major vessels.

Analysis of Sociodemographic Factors Affecting Ambulatory Surgical Center Discharge Patterns for Endometrial Cancer Hysterectomies
There is limited data on outcomes for patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomies (MIH) performed for endometrial cancer at ambulatory surgery centers (ASC). Our study aims to explore the feasibility of performing MIHs for endometrial cancer in an ASC setting by utilizing same-day discharge data. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)
