The surgical management of hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer may range from segmental resections to major or extended hepatectomies. The aim is to achieve complete removal of metastatic lesions while preserving adequate liver function. We present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with a history of glucose intolerance who presented with altered bowel movements and abdominal pain.

Objective: The overlap of affective disturbance and psychosis considerably makes it complex to determine the etiology of bipolar disorder (BD) and develop targeted interventions. The present study aimed to determine the white matter microstructural alterations that distinguish between BD with psychosis (BDP) and BD with no psychosis (BDNP) to identify patients who may specifically benefit from appropriately effective treatments.
Methods: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images were acquired from 38 participants with BDP, 52 participants with BDNP and 70 healthy controls (HCs).

The Senhance robotic system (Asensus Surgical, Durham, NC, USA) is an innovative platform for minimally invasive surgery. It enables surgeons to perform precise and cost-effective procedures using reusable instruments and has advanced features such as haptic feedback and eye-tracking camera control. Herein, we present the first application of the "double bipolar method" (DBM) in a Senhance-assisted laparoscopic partial cystectomy utilizing 3 mm Maryland bipolar instruments.

Study Objective: To determine the association of repeat polypectomy with patient and/or polyp characteristics, surgical setting, and type of hysteroscopic equipment.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study including all women who had undergone operative hysteroscopy for the removal of endometrial polyps between 1/2012-12/2022 in our division. Operative hysteroscopy with resection of endometrial polyps was performed using a bipolar loop resectoscope, miniaturized hysteroscopic instruments (bipolar needle, scissors, and graspers), or a tissue-removal device (from April 2021), with or without general anesthesia.

Introduction: The three-arm approach is mainly selected, despite the multiple robotic arms in da Vinci Xi. This type of surgical setup may provide less autonomy to the console surgeon and result in greater dependence on the bedside surgical assistant. Therefore, the 4th arm is used instead of the assist port, which is why we developed "pure" robot simple hysterectomy (PRSH) as a novel surgical technique, in which all ports are operated by robotic arms.
