Robotic surgery has been widely used in surgical gastric cancer treatments, including proximal gastrectomy. Single-port robotic system is gaining more popularity in robotic surgery, but there has been no report on its application in robotic proximal gastrectomy with right-sided overlap and single-flap valvuloplasty (RPG-ROSF). Here, we report an RPG-ROSF using a novel single-port robotic system in a 51-year-old male patient with an early-stage gastroesophageal cancer detected by gastroscopy.

Background: There is no standard reconstruction method following proximal gastrectomy, of which gastroesophageal reflux and anastomotic complications are of great concern. Though several techniques have been devised to overcome these postoperative complications, such as double tract reconstruction, double-flap technique and side overlap fundoplication by Yamashita, none of them is considered a perfect solution. Herein, we designed a novel method of esophagogastrostomy after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), named right-sided overlap and single-flap valvuloplasty (ROSF).

Aim: To describe a novel technique for the reconstruction of geometrically complex defects of the midface using an osteotomized folded scapular tip-free flap.

Methods: Five patients underwent maxillectomy with defects disrupting two or more of the following facial axes: orbital, nasofacial, and palatal axes. Patients underwent primary reconstruction using an angular artery-based scapular tip-free flap with an osteotomy to fold the flap.

The authors describe the technique of robotic vaginectomy, anterior vaginal flap urethroplasty, and use of a longitudinally split pedicled gracilis muscle flap to recreate the bulbar urethra and help fill the vaginal defect in female-to-male gender-affirming phalloplasty. Vaginectomy is performed by means of the robotically assisted laparoscopic transabdominal approach. Concurrently, gracilis muscle is harvested and passed through a tunnel between the groin and the vaginal cavity.

Background: To propose a novel composite outcome measure (COM) for periodontal regenerative treatment of intraosseous defects.

Methods: COM is based on the combination of clinically relevant clinical attachment level (CAL) gain (≥3 mm) and pocket closure (post-surgery probing depth [PD] ≤ 4 mm). Treatment was regarded as successful when a clinically relevant CAL gain was associated with pocket closure, and failing when either clinically relevant CAL gain and pocket closure were not achieved.
