From January 2003 to January 2004, laparoscopy was performed in 100 cases, aged from 10 months to 19 years. Diagnostic laparoscopy was applied in 39 patients, most often in nonpalpable testes (29), ovarian cysts (4), abdominal trauma (1), abdominal cysts (2) and intersex states (3). Ninety patients underwent operative laparoscopy: appendectomy (44), orchiopexy (2), orchiectomy (1), herniorrhaphy (1), varicocelectomy (8), adnexectomy (2), cholecystectomy (8), Fowler-Stephens procedure (1), abdominal cysts (2), ovarian cystectomy (6), subdiaphragmatic abscess (1), adhesiotomy (11), liver cysts (2) and splenectomy (1). Diagnostic laparoscopy has proved to be more reliable and less invasive method in comparison to previously used methods. Our conclusion is that operative laparoscopy has many advantages compared with some of the classical surgical procedures.

Minimally Invasive Total Versus Supracervical Hysterectomy With Sacrocolpopexy.
Urogynecology (Phila)
October 2024
Atrium Wake Forest Baptist Health, Winston-Salem, NC.
Importance: Limited data exist comparing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) versus laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSCH) at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare TLH versus LSCH at the time of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy for uterovaginal prolapse, hypothesizing that LSCH would demonstrate a higher proportion of recurrent prolapse, but a lower proportion of mesh exposures.
Study Design: This was a retrospective, secondary analysis comparing a prospective cohort of patients undergoing TLH sacrocolpopexy versus a retrospective cohort of patients who had undergone LSCH sacrocolpopexy.
Defining Textbook Outcomes for Minimally Invasive Surgical Resection of Small Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) of the Stomach.
Ann Surg Oncol
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of California San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Textbook outcome (TO) has been utilized to assess the quality of surgical care. This study aimed to define TO rates for minimally invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resections in a bi-institutional cohort.
Methods: Patients with gastric GIST (≤ 5 cm) who underwent laparoscopic or robotic resection (January 2014 to January 2024) were retrospectively identified from two GIST centers.
Current approaches to the surgical management of Crohn's disease in Australia and New Zealand.
Int J Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Butterfield St., Herston, QLD, 4006, Australia.
Purpose: Given the evolving literature regarding the optimal surgical approach to mitigate post-operative recurrence of Crohn's disease (CD), this survey study aimed to elucidate the practices and preferences of colorectal surgeons in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) in their surgical management of CD.
Methods: Colorectal surgical consultants and fellows (n = 337) registered with the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSSANZ) were invited by email in April 2022 to participate in a cross-sectional survey consisting of basic demographics and 12 questions relating to their usual surgical practice and preferred operative strategy.
Results: A total of 135 responses were received (39.

Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Surgery, Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel, 14 Kaplan St, Petah Tiqwa, Israel.
Introduction: AIM: The aim of the study is to determine the optimal timing for surgery in patients with small bowel duplications.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study, including all patients younger than 18 years who were diagnosed with small bowel duplications from 2013 until 2024 in a single tertiary medical center, was performed. Patients' demographics, duplication size and location, pathological results, and clinical outcomes were collected.
Electrosurgical Devices Used During Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
JSLS
January 2025
Department of Medical and Surgical Gynecology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine & Science, Jacksonville, FL. (Drs. Horton, Coombs, and Cardenas-Trowers).
Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States and most are now being performed in a minimally invasive approach. Electrosurgery and vessel sealing devices are needed in order to provide hemostasis and vascular coaptation; however, there is no guiding evidence and limited recommendations for the use of the currently available devices for laparoscopic hysterectomy. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic review of electrosurgical devices used in benign hysterectomy and perform a meta-analysis to find the overall effect of various outcomes.
