On the basis of our experience with more than 71 cases of totally laparoscopic aortic surgery by the retrocolic approach, we have developed a new technique by a simple transperitoneal approach. The purpose of this report is to describe that technique and the novel laparoscopic bowel retractor used to ensure stable exposure of the aorta.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to develop and evaluate the Space Child Laparoscopic Trainer (SCLT), a low-cost, 3D-printed tool designed for pediatric laparoscopic training, to assess its effectiveness compared to a standard laparoscopic trainer (LT).
  • The SCLT was created using a 3D printer, cost five euros, and took about 10 minutes to assemble, with various aspects of performance measured through tasks completed by surgical residents and experienced surgeons.
  • Results showed that the learning speed for surgical tasks was slightly higher with the SCLT compared to the LT, indicating it may be an effective alternative for training, although further assessment on its non-inferiority suggested more research is needed.

Sciatic hernia, a rare type of pelvic floor hernia, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report the first totally extraperitoneal (TEP) repair of a sciatic hernia, which was performed in a 63-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and poor dietary intake. Computed tomography revealed a strangulated femoral hernia and an incidental herniation of the sigmoid colon through the right sciatic foramen.
