Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of routine histopathological exams for patients undergoing sigmoidectomy due to diverticular disease after having a colonoscopy within a year prior.
- - A total of 207 patients were analyzed, revealing only a small percentage (3.9%) had unexpected findings during histopathological exams, most of which were clinically insignificant.
- - The findings suggest that preoperative colonoscopy results were highly reliable in predicting histopathological outcomes, indicating that routine exams may not be necessary for all patients.
Emergency treatment of paraesophageal hernias can be carried out through laparotomy or minimally invasive approaches, however, evidence in this regard is weak. The aim of our study was to assess safety and feasibility of the robotic-assisted treatment of paraesophageal hernias in the emergency setting. At the Bellinzona e Valli Regional Hospital, Switzerland, we conducted a retrospective analysis of patients operated on from January 2020 to January 2024 with robotic surgery for emergency presentation of paraesophageal hernias.

We aimed at comparing hospital costs in patients undergoing large ventral hernia repair with either robotic or open surgery. We searched from a prospectively maintained database patients who underwent robotic or open surgery for the treatment of the large ventral hernias from January 2016 to December 2022.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (R-TAPP) repair for the treatment of incarcerated inguinal hernia.
Methods: We retrospectively searched from a prospectively maintained database patients who underwent R-TAPP or open surgery for incarcerated inguinal hernias from January 2018 to March 2023.
