Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of complicated appendicitis in overweight/obese adolescents. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 226 adolescent patients with complicated appendicitis who were admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to June 2022. Among them, 102 cases underwent transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy as the observation group, and another 124 cases underwent conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy as the control group. The surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, duration of incisional pain, postoperative flatus time, length of hospital stay, surgical site infection (SSI), satisfaction with cosmetic result, and occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Both groups completed the surgery smoothly, and there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, BMI, duration of illness, white blood cell count, and preoperative CRP value between the two groups (P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in surgical time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, the observation group had shorter hospital stays, shorter duration of incisional pain, shorter postoperative time to flatus, and lower overall postoperative complication rates compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The observation group had higher satisfaction with cosmetic result compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Both groups were followed up for one year postoperatively, and there were no occurrences of residual appendicitis or severe adhesive intestinal obstruction. CONCLUSION When proficiently mastered, the application of transumbilical single-incision laparoscopy in the treatment of complicated appendicitis in overweight/obese adolescents offers advantages such as minimal trauma, rapid recovery, fewer complications, and improved aesthetic outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application value, feasibility, and safety of modified single-port laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pediatric inguinal hernia. Methods: One hundred and twenty cases of children with indirect inguinal hernia admitted from 2017 to 2022 were enrolled in the Control and Observation groups, with 80 and 40 cases, respectively. They underwent traditional open high ligation of the hernia sac and modified single-port laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac, respectively. The operation duration, surgical incision size, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, first ambulation time, and hospitalization expenses were compared between the two groups, as well as the incidence of surgical complications in the two groups. Results: The surgical incision size, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, and first ambulation time of the Observation group were less than those of the Control group. There was no significant difference in operation duration or hospitalization expenses between the two groups. Only two cases in the Observation group showed suture knot reactions after surgery, with no incision infection, inguinal hematoma, iatrogenic cryptorchidism, etc. The overall incidence of complications in the Observation group was lower than that of the Control group. Conclusion: Modified single-port laparoscopic surgery for inguinal hernia in children has the advantages of minimal invasiveness, and enhanced recovery, along with fewer complications and recurrence, hence it is worthy of recommendation in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background The introduction of vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) to the toolbox of gynecologic surgeons has the potential to reverse the trend of vaginal hysterectomy declines. Methods This review discusses nuances of the vNOTES technique applied to hysterectomy; describes vNOTES hysterectomy, step-by-step (including tips and tricks for low- and high-complexity cases for surgeons who may want to incorporate vNOTES hysterectomy into their surgical repertoires); and examines evidence and research trends in this field. Results The descriptions in the text, figures, tables, and videos all contribute to giving readers a clear understanding of vNOTES, its advantages, limitations, and research potentials. Conclusions vNOTES hysterectomy is a unique blend of vaginal, laparoscopic, and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) techniques and is not a new procedure, but rather another tool to use in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.

[PMID: 38249312 PMCID: PMC10797062 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1335805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives Magnetic anchor technique (MAT) is frequently used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are few reports on its clinical application in China. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical application of MAT in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in China. Materials and methods 25 patients (4 males, 21 females) who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy assisted by MAT at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were enrolled from November 2020 to March 2021. Their records were retrospectively analyzed. The magnetic anchor device was independently designed and developed by the authors and consisted of the anchor magnet and magnetic grasping apparatus. Surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative accidents, operator experience, postoperative incision pain score, postoperative complications, and other indicators were evaluated and analyzed. Results All patients successfully underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, including 3 cases of MAT-assisted transumbilical single-port LC, 16 cases of MAT-assisted 2-port LC and 6 cases of conventional 3-port LC. The median operation time was 50 min (range 30-95 min); intraoperative bleeding was less than 30 ml. The median score of surgical incision on day 1 and 3 after the operation was 3 (range 1-4) and 1 (range 1-3), respectively. All patients had no intraoperative bile duct injury, vascular injury, postoperative bleeding, bile leakage, biliary stricture and other complications. No adverse events (such as injury to adjacent organs or failure of the magnetic anchor device) occurred either during or after the operation. Conclusions The MAT-assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be safe, feasible and effective and exhibits unique assistance in transumbilical single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

A brief overview of single-port laparoscopic appendectomy as an optimal surgical procedure for patients with acute appendicitis: still a long way to go. J Int Med Res 2023; 51:3000605231183781. [PMID: 37466195 PMCID: PMC10363874 DOI: 10.1177/03000605231183781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 07/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (SPLA) has become a good alternative to the traditional surgical treatment of acute appendicitis, due to its advantages of small incision, mild postoperative pain, short hospital stay, and good cosmetic effect. However, the further application of SPLA has been restricted by its relatively long operating time, high level of operating difficulty, and increased equipment and technical requirements. Clinical teams worldwide have attempted to improve and optimize SPLA technical protocols and equipment to maintain stable intraoperative pneumoperitoneal pressure, improve the 'triangle relationship' of operating angles, and develop new surgical procedures with less trauma and higher cost-effectiveness. Here, new SPLA techniques reported over the past decade are reviewed and compared, with the aim of providing new insights into technical improvements, equipment upgrades and clinical studies in the coming years.
