Video games are accepted and used for a wide variety of applications. In the medical world, research on the positive effects of playing games on basic laparoscopic skills is rapidly increasing. Although these benefits have been proven several times, no institution actually uses video games for surgical training. This Short Communication describes some of the theoretical backgrounds, development and underlying educational foundations of a specifically designed video game and custom-made hardware that takes advantage of the positive effects of games on basic laparoscopic skills.

Different Regimens of Preoperative Carbohydrate Loading on Insulin Resistance: A Network Meta-analysis.
Clin Nutr ESPEN
January 2025
School of Graduate, Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, No.10 Poyang Lake Road, Tuanbo New City West, Jinghai District, Tianjin, China.
Background & Aims: The effectiveness of preoperative carbohydrate loading(PCL) on postoperative insulin resistance(IR) is controversial. In addition, the effect of different doses of carbohydrates on postoperative IR is also controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the efficiency of PCL on postoperative IR and the optimal regimen for the effect on postoperative IR.

Development and validation of a preoperative nomogram for predicting gallbladder adenoma.
Surg Endosc
January 2025
Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, 374 Dianmian Avenue, Wuhua District, Kunming, 650106, Yunnan, People's Republic of China.
Background: Gallbladder cholesterol polyp (GCP) and gallbladder adenoma (GA) are easily confused in clinical diagnosis. This study aims to establish a nomogram prediction model for preoperative prediction of the risk of GA patients.
Study Design: We retrospectively collected clinical data of GCP or GA patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) between January 2020 and April 2023.
Objective: In laparoscopic surgery, initial entry into the abdomen becomes more risky in patients with a history of abdominal surgery. In such cases, initial entry is usually performed with a Veress needle via Palmer's point (PP). However, it is associated with an increased failure rate, especially in obese patients.
