Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of laparoscopic versus open completion cholecystectomy in patients who previously had an incomplete open cholecystectomy, particularly focusing on outcomes related to residual gallstones.
- - A retrospective analysis of 80 patients found that those undergoing laparoscopic surgery experienced shorter operation times, quicker recovery, and a lower rate of wound infections compared to those who had the open procedure.
- - The research concludes that prior open surgery does not prevent the successful use of laparoscopic techniques and that laparoscopy offers superior perioperative results.
Background: Adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma (PHEO) is challenging because of the high risk of intraoperative hemodynamic instability (HDI). This study aimed to compare the incidence and risk factors of intraoperative HDI between laparoscopic left adrenalectomy (LLA) and laparoscopic right adrenalectomy (LRA).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed two hundred and seventy-one patients aged > 18 years with unilateral benign PHEO of any size who underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy at our hospitals between September 2016 and September 2023.
Article Synopsis
- A study comparing laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and perineal stapler resection (PSR) in elderly patients with external full-thickness rectal prolapse showed that LVMR resulted in significantly fewer complications and lower recurrence rates.
- LVMR was linked to better postoperative outcomes, including less incontinence, less constipation, and higher patient satisfaction compared to PSR.
- Key predictors for prolapse recurrence included the surgical method used (LVMR associated with a 93% reduction in risk), the duration of symptoms, and the length of the prolapse.
Introduction And Aim: Recently, the incidence of obesity has been rising exponentially. Clinical studies have demonstrated that different subtypes of pulmonary hypertension (PH) are linked to obesity. The current work mainly aims to assess the impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on PH in a cohort of obese cases.

This study aimed to determine the effect of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on pathological liver changes in severely obese cases with NAFLD.
Methods: The present prospective research comprised 67 subjects with morbid obesity scheduled for OAGB during the period from February 2015 to August 2018.
