Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric carcinoma has been widely performed in Japan. In this technique, when hemorrhaging from vessels is observed, the bleeding point is coagulated using hemostatic forceps with the soft coagulation. There have been reports that using hemostatic forceps with soft coagulation is a safe and effective method of controlling upper gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding. However, there have been no reports regarding the comparative effectiveness of hemostatic forceps and clipping in upper gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding. Between April 2003 and December 2008, a total of 124 patients with gastric ulcer bleeding causing melena or hematochezia were treated with endoscopic hemostasis in our hospital. Two endoscopic hemostatic methods were used for different groups of patients: coagulation with hemostatic forceps was used for Group A and clipping was used for Group B. The rate of additional treatment required after the initial procedure was 28.6% (8/28) for Group A and 79.2% (76/96) for Group B, indicating a significantly lower rate for Group A than that for Group B (P < 0.01). Additional treatment consists of a hypertonic saline epinephrine injection. The rebleeding rate was 3.6% (1/28) for Group A and 8.3% (8/96) for Group B, again indicating a lower rate for Group A than for Group B. Finally, successful endoscopic hemostasis was 100% in both groups. Using the soft coagulation mode of hemostatic forceps is shown to be a safe, easy and effective method of controlling gastric ulcer bleeding in relation to clipping.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish a control pathway for using haemostatic clips in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) based on patient clinical variations to optimize consumption and reduce costs.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective observational study using data from 1001 patients who underwent LC, identifying key factors influencing clip usage.
- The findings showed that conditions like acute cholecystitis and anatomical variations significantly impacted clip use, with recommendations suggesting a maximum of three clips in about 17.3% of cases for better resource management.
Novel retrieving device for coronary stent dislodgement.

Article Synopsis
- Stent dislodgement is a rare but difficult complication during heart procedures, and existing treatment methods are not very effective.
- This study tested a new self-expanding basket (SEB) catheter designed to retrieve dislodged stents without causing additional injury or needing surgery.
- In a small trial with 6 patients, the SEB catheter successfully retrieved all dislodged stents, with no safety issues reported, indicating it may be a promising solution, but more extensive research is needed.
Six-Port Robotic Liver Resection Using Double Bipolar Clamp-Crush Method With Saline Drops: Advancing Safety, Efficiency, and Versatility in Liver Parenchymal Dissection.

Department of Surgery, Saga University Faculty of Medicine, Saga, JPN.
Robotic liver resection (RLR) faces challenges in parenchymal dissection due to device limitations, necessitating the development of a safe, efficient, and versatile method for its widespread use. We introduce our six-port RLR approach utilizing the double bipolar clamp-crush method with saline drops to overcome these device limitations. This method, combined with robotic bipolar forceps, maximizes the advantages of RLR by leveraging its multi-joint functionality and facilitates the dissection of strong, fibrotic liver tissue through the use of bipolar energy.
