Robotic pancreatic surgery: minimally invasive approach to challenging operations.

Background: Pancreatic surgery is still associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to present the short-term outcomes of robot-assisted pancreatic surgery, including pancreaticoduodenectomy (RAPD), distal pancreatectomy (RDP) with or without splenectomy, enucleation (REN), and atypical resection (RAR), for benign, borderline, and malignant lesions at a high-volume center.

Methods: A single-center, prospective database was used to retrospectively analyze the early outcomes of robotic pancreatic procedures completed between 2014 and 2020.

The Gauze technique: a simple method of dissection in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Background: Hernia repair is one of the most frequent operation in general surgery. The aim of this is study is to present a new preperitoneal atraumatic dissection of peritoneal flap during laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair.

Methods: From January 2019 to December 2019, 30 patients (19 male, 11 female) attended TAPP inguinal hernia repairs.
