Pancreaticobiliary Maljunction and Its Relationship with Biliary Cancer: An Updated and Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Behalf of TROGSS-The Robotic Global Surgical Society.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the degree to which pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) increases the risk of different types of biliary cancer (BC).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were carried out using the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct. We systematically searched from inception to April 2024.

Komi type 2 pancreaticobiliary maljunction: Minimal access surgical treatment (with video).

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) is associated with the development of neoplasms of bile ducts. Cholecystectomy with diversion of the biliary-pancreatic flow is considered the treatment of choice. To describe the surgical treatment employed for a patient with Komi's type 2 PBM and its long-term results.

[Right hepatic bile duct injury: a single stage combined laparoscopic-endoscopic treatment].

Treatment of bile ducts injuries (BDI) treatment, combining minimally access surgical techniques, although their benefits, has been scarcely reported. We described a combined laparoscopic-endoscopic procedure, carried out in a patient with postoperative right hepatic duct (RHD) injury associated to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Based on a clinical case description, we illustrate the surgical technique and assess their applicability and results.

[Technical considerations during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis].

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures by the general surgeon. This situation allows determining a defined surgical strategy in most patients. However, some factors may induce modification by the surgical team.

Distal esophageal perforation repair during laparoscopic esophagomyotomy: evaluation of outcomes and review of surgical technique.

Objective: To describe the technique employed and our experience with primary laparoscopic repair of distal esophageal perforations produced during laparoscopic esophagomyotomy, as well as to evaluate the outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed six cases of patients with primary achalasia in whom distal esophageal mucosal perforations were caused during laparoscopic esophagomyotomy. A primary repair and fundoplication was performed in five cases; in the sixth patient, the perforation could not be recognized during the surgical procedure.

[Conversion to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass after vertical banded gastroplasty. A case report].

Background: Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) is sometimes associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and long-time failure in weight loss. This situation is a problem; one therapeutic option is a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP).

Objective: To analyze the perspective of laparoscopic surgical treatment in a patient with persistent GERD after traditional bariatric surgery for morbid obesity management.

[Laparoscopic appendectomy. Surgical technique description and literature review].

Introduction: The laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is considered a surgical process of controversy, although it offers better recovery and better aesthetic results, and allows visualization of the abdominal cavity. In this work, we presented a revision of the topic and the experience of our group in the Endoscopic Surgery Unit at the Dr. Manuel Gea González General Hospital and at the Hospital Médica Sur, both in Mexico City.
