AI Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses a new one-port technique for performing thoracoscopic sympathectomy.
- A 7-mm thorascope equipped with a working channel for diathermy was utilized in the procedure.
- The technique offers an effective, minimally invasive option that is both safe and can be done as a same-day discharge procedure.
Article Abstract
Background: The present paper describes the development of a one-port technique for thoracoscopic sympathectomy.
Methods: A 7-mm thorascope with a working channel for diathermy was used.
Conclusion: A highly cosmetic, simple, safe, day-case procedure is achievable.

Single Incision Plus One Port Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy with Double Channel Anastomosis for Gastric Cancer Treatment.
J Vis Exp
December 2024
Department of General Surgery, Xiangyang Central Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Arts and Science;
Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube.

Background: Gastric cancer surgery has advanced with minimally invasive techniques. This study compares outcomes between single-incision laparoscopic surgery plus one port (SILS + 1) and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in treating gastric cancer.
Aim: To explore the curative effect of SILS + 1 and CLS on gastric cancer and their influences on prognosis.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Itami City Hospital, Itami, Japan.
Background: We aimed to assess the outcomes of reduced port surgery using "marionette technique" in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) compared to conventional three-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery( VATS).
Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled in this study from August 2015 to July 2021. The marionette technique was performed as follow.
Oncological Outcomes Following Robotic Postchemotherapy Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Testicular Cancer: A Worldwide Multicenter Study.

Institute of Urology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Electronic address:
Background And Objective: The feasibility and safety of a robotic approach for postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) in testicular cancer have been demonstrated, but data on long-term oncological outcomes of this procedure are limited. Our aim was to evaluate oncological outcomes following robotic PC-RPLND in this setting.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with testicular cancer treated with robotic PC-RPLND at 11 academic centers worldwide between 2011 and 2023.
Evaluation of the nonstapling bullectomy by manual suturing for young men with primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
J Thorac Dis
September 2024
Respiratory Disease Center, Showa University Northern Yokohama Hospital, Yokohama, Japan.
Background: Currently, surgery for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is performed by bullectomy using a stapler with complete video-assisted thoracic surgery (cVATS). However, the postoperative recurrence rate (RR) of PSP is high in young men. The factors of postoperative PSP recurrence are the formation of postoperative bulla neogenesis (POBN) around the staple line, pleural injury caused by forceps for VATS, and bulla overlooked with a thoracoscope.
