AI Article Synopsis
- - A study involving 60 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) compared the outcomes of a minimally invasive, 10-cm incision with a standard-length incision using a direct lateral approach.
- - The research found no significant differences in key outcomes such as surgery duration, opioid use, blood loss, complications, or patient scores six weeks after surgery.
- - The shorter incision did not offer any clinical benefits and presented technical challenges that could negatively impact the results of the THA procedure.
Article Abstract
A pilot cohort study of 60 primary total hip arthroplasties (THAs) was undertaken to evaluate the technical aspects and possible clinical advantages of performing THA through a single-incision, minimally invasive, 10-cm-length, direct lateral approach compared with the same approach performed through a standard-length skin incision. We could not show any significant difference with regard to operative time; in-hospital equianalgesic opioid consumption; postoperative blood loss; complications; hospital length of stay; or flexion, Harris Hip and Oxford Scores at 6 weeks' postoperatively. Restricting the length of skin incision for THA performed through a direct lateral approach does not appear to afford any clinical advantage to the patient in the short term. The mini-exposure creates technical challenges that have the potential to adversely affect primary THA outcome.

Objectives: Femoral vein transposition (tFV) is a complex procedure that provides high patency rates for patients with exhausted upper-limb vascular access. Traditionally, the procedure involves a long single incision in the thigh to harvest the femoral vein, but this approach is associated with increased risks of local complications such as infections and haematomas. Skip incisions have shown to lower complication rates and shorten maturation times.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has become the most popular weight loss surgery currently, but it inevitably leaves multiple small scars in the abdomen. Although the appearance of single-incision laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy achieve better cosmetic results, it may lead to postoperative complications such as umbilical hernia and umbilical infection. The author has developed a new surgical approach that can compensate for these deficiencies, which we called needlescopic laparoscope sleeve gastrectomy (NLSG).

Background: Malone antegrade continence enemas (MACE) are increasingly being used to manage severe constipation and fecal incontinence in children. Despite advances in minimally invasive pediatric colorectal surgery, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for MACE creation remains relatively unexplored. This study, featuring the largest cohort to date, evaluates the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of SILS MACE creation in children.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, being a prevalent abdominal surgical procedure, has transitioned through various innovative stages aimed at reducing the procedure's invasiveness. These stages encompass Single-Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC), Mini Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (MLC), Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), and Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (RALC). The purpose of this review is to trace the evolution of minimally invasive cholecystectomy techniques, assess their status, and identify emerging trends and challenges in the field.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a study comparing two surgical approaches, conventional multi-port laparoscopy (CL) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), for patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal (HR), primarily after colostomy.
- A thorough online search led to the inclusion of two observational studies with 160 patients, revealing that SILS had a significantly shorter operative duration, while other outcomes like mortality and complications showed no significant differences.
- The conclusion indicates that, despite some limitations in the research, SILS is a quicker method with comparable safety and effectiveness to CL techniques.
