Background: Port-site metastasis is a known complication of laparoscopic surgery, although it has been described less in robotic surgery. There are limited reports of such occurrences in current literature.
Cases: Two patients underwent robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph node dissection for stage IA endometrial cancer. One patient's surgery was complicated by uterine perforation but the other surgery was uncomplicated. Both patients had development of isolated port-site metastasis and required resection followed by chemotherapy and radiation.
Conclusion: Port-site metastasis is a surgical complication with an unclear etiology. There are no clear data to suggest a lower incidence with robotic surgery. Patients at low risk for recurrence still may experience development of port-site metastasis.

Background: Posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (PRA) for isolated adrenal metastasis is minimally invasive, may prolong survival and improve quality of life. The current evidence base is scant.
Methods: A multi-site retrospective analysis of all cases of PRA for adrenal metastasis between 2011 and 2023, by four high-volume adrenal surgeons was performed.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that involves the growth of unusual plasma cells in the bone marrow, with extramedullary plasmacytomas being a rare form that can develop outside the bone marrow.
- A case of a 63-year-old man with multiple myeloma presented with a swollen port site, and imaging showed a mass that turned out to be a metastatic subcutaneous plasmacytoma.
- This case highlights the need to recognize and accurately diagnose skin-related plasmacytomas in patients with venous access ports to prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments.

Background: Postoperative wound recovery following laparotomy for port-site metastasis (PSM) resection is a concern. Reports indicate that wound healing disorders occur in patients with PSM. The challenges associated with PSM resection include the complete removal of the lesion, ensuring rapid wound healing, and maintaining the integrity of the abdominal wall.

Port site metastasis (PSM) has been reported as a rare metastasis in women with endometrial carcinoma (EC). However, even more rarely, it has also been described in patients with low- or intermediate-risk EC. Unfortunately, knowledge appears limited on the topic.
