We report a laparoendoscopic single site orchiopexy in a 2-year-old boy with a right nonpalpable testis. Diagnostic laparoscopy using a 5-mm port revealed a right intraabdominal testis. The 5-mm port site was extended to accommodate the smallest commercially available triport, and orchiopexy was performed. The operative time was 55 minutes, and the estimated blood loss was minimal. There were no complications, and surgical and cosmetic results were excellent. Laparoendoscopic single site surgery is a feasible technique for orchiopexy of the nonpalpable testis.

Backgrounds/aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains the most common therapeutic strategy used for cholecystocholedocholithiasis (CCL). Recently, single-stage ERCP + LC has gained popularity for treating CCL due to patient satisfaction and financial considerations. In this study, we aimed to compare the feasibility and efficacy of the two variants of single-stage ERCP + LC (starting with ERCP followed by LC versus starting with LC followed by ERCP) for treatment of CCL.

Background: Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) has gained increasing attention due to the potential to maximize the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to compare outcomes of TU-LESS and multiport laparoscopic surgery (MLS) for the treatment of benign ovarian cysts.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with benign ovarian cysts that were admitted to the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between September 2010 and September 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) to transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for hysterectomy, focusing on safety and benefits.
- The research involved 192 patients in Chengdu, China, and found that vNOTES resulted in shorter surgery times and quicker recovery, but had a higher conversion rate and slightly increased blood loss.
- The conclusion emphasizes vNOTES advantages in minimal invasiveness and cosmetic results, while recommending improvements in surgical techniques to minimize risks associated with the approach.

Article Synopsis
- Spaghetti knotting technology shows promise in improving LESS surgery by enhancing the operator's visual field and suturing accuracy compared to traditional knotting methods.
- A study involving 40 junior residents found that those trained with spaghetti knotting technology completed tasks faster, used longer threads, and maintained better tissue integrity than those using conventional methods.
- Overall, while the new technique reduced workload and improved performance in specific areas, both training methods had similar outcomes in needle insertion accuracy, knotting stability, and tissue tightness.
