TPP (totally preperitoneal) making single incision laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair more feasible: a comparison with single incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (SIL-TEP).

Background: Totally preperitoneal hernioplasty (TPP) is a concept which was introduced for distinguishing with totally extraperitoneal (TEP). There is few evidence reflecting the single incision laparoscopic totally preperitoneal (SIL-TPP) characteristic. The aim of study is to demonstrate the feasibility of single incision laparoscopic totally preperitoneal hernioplasty (SIL-TPP) and compare the outcomes with the single incision laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (SIL-TEP) technique.

Single incision laparoscopic totally preperitoneal hernioplasty (SIL-TPP): Lessons learned from 102 procedures and initial experience.

Background: The abdominal wall in groin area is conventionally considered that it was comprised by 9 layers. Single incision laparoscopy totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (SIL-TEP) reported before were operated through the front of the posterior rectus sheath.

Method: 102 SIL-TPP were conducted from October 2018 to October 2020 at The Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Ningbo University using a self-made single-port device and standard laparoscopic instruments.

Evaluating the value of tumor length times width in colorectal adenocarcinoma with different tumor locations.

The T classification, which reflects the vertical growth pattern of the tumor, is one of the most important prognostic factors in colorectal cancer. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of tumor length and width in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). A total of 259 patients with stage I-III CRC who underwent curative resection were reevaluated according to tumor location.

Biological and clinical implications of hsa_circ_0086720 in gastric cancer and its clinical application.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are thought to be vital participants in carcinogenesis and have the characteristics of being stable, specific, and well conserved. However, their clinical significance and application value in gastric cancer (GC) are still poorly understood. Hsa_circ_0086720 was found to be a dysregulated circRNA in GC by microarray screening and was further explored for its clinical significance and application.

Circular RNA hsa_circ_0001874 is an indicator for gastric cancer.

Background: Recent studies have indicated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel endogenous RNAs whose 5' and 3' ends are covalently linked and play critical roles in gastric carcinogenesis. However, the significance of circRNA hsa_circ_0001874 in gastric cancer (GC) is still unclear.

Methods: Therefore, we first detected hsa_circ_0001874 levels in GC cell lines and tissues and analyzed their potential correlation with clinicopathological factors.
