Background: The aim of this study was to investigate 8-mm robotic trocar site hernia (TSH) rate over the short and long term, providing aids to manage the related fascial wounds.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 320 patients undergoing robotic surgery was conducted. The primary outcome was 8-mm TSH rate with a minimum follow-up of 12 months.
Article Synopsis
- Minimally Invasive Thermal Ablation (MITA) is a challenging procedure used to treat liver tumors, with concerns about its effectiveness in controlling local disease.
- A study analyzed 207 patients who underwent MITA from 2019 to 2022, finding that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) had a higher risk of local recurrence compared to microwave ablation (MWA), especially when combined with surgical resection.
- The research suggests that MWA might lower local recurrence rates compared to RFA, and that combining MITA with liver resection could increase local recurrence risks, indicating a need for further studies to validate these findings.
Aims: We aimed to summarize available evidence about intraoperative and postoperative donors' and recipients' outcomes following stone surgery in renal grafts from living donors performed either before donation or as ex vivo bench surgery at the time of living-donor nephrectomy.
Methods: A systematic review of PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Scopus databases was performed in September 2020. We included full papers that met the following criteria: original research, English language, human studies, and describing the results of stone surgery in renal grafts from living donors performed either before transplantation or as ex vivo bench surgery.
Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that causes a potentially deadly syndrome that affects especially the respiratory tract. Kidney-transplanted patients are immunosuppressed and more susceptible to viral infections. We have examined our transplantation activity to explore the future role of kidney transplantation from deceased and living donors in COVID-19 era.

The intraoperative use of the Habib 4X radio frequency probe device is safe in resetting HM and allows a one-stage resection of both CRC and HM with a similar mortality rate than a two-stage surgical treatment.
Methods: After an exhaustive residential training at the reference center for hepato-biliary surgery of the Imperial College of London, we treated at our unit of general surgery 40 consecutive patients with CRC and HM with the one-stage resection, using the Habib 4X intraoperative radiofrequency probe device to reset HM.
