The capability of performing major abdominal surgery while avoiding a large abdominal incision has clear benefits for patient care. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can reduce hospital stays and the length of the recovery period, as well as decrease postoperative pain, diminish scarring, and provide significant cost savings.

Apple Vision Pro-guided Laparoscopic Radio Frequency Ablation for Liver Tumors: The Pioneer Experience.
Surg Innov
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Show Chwan Memorial Hospital, Changhua, Taiwan.
This study evaluates the feasibility of Apple Vision Pro goggles as an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation tool for laparoscopic-assisted ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors. Traditional RFA is effective but challenging due to the integration of multiple imaging modalities. The primary aim of this research is to assess how Vision Pro goggles can enhance the surgical navigation process during RFA, improving tumor localization and the overall effectiveness of the procedure.

January 2025
Department of General Surgery, Fribourg Cantonal Hospital, 1700, Fribourg, Switzerland.
Background: Current management of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BR-PDAC) depends on the degree of involvement of the major arterial and venous structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D segmentation and printing to predict tumor size and vascular involvement of BR-PDAC to improve pre-operative planning of vascular resection and better select patients for neoadjuvant therapy.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with BR-PDAC near vascular structures who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with or without vascular resection between 2015 and 2021.
Frequency and Predictors of Conversion From Laparoscopic to Open Cholecystectomy: A Single-Center Observational Study.
Cureus
December 2024
General Surgery, Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Peshawar, PAK.
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the rate of conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) to open cholecystectomy (OC) in our population and determine the potential risk factors associated with it. Understanding these factors helps surgeons predict complex cases and plan surgeries, reducing patient risks and improving outcomes.
Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, on 349 patients undergoing elective LC.
Surgical Complication of Omental Infarction in Ulcerative Colitis Following Laparoscopic Colectomy.

Colorectal Surgery, Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton, Braselton, USA.
Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdomen, often mimicking more common abdominal emergencies such as appendicitis and cholecystitis, presenting significant diagnostic challenges. A 47-year-old male with a history of ulcerative colitis underwent laparoscopic total colectomy with end ileostomy. Postoperatively, he developed severe abdominal pain, chills, nausea, and increased abdominal distension.
