Background: We aimed to retrospectively investigate the short-term outcome, technical feasibility, and safety of single incision transumbilical laparoscopic colorectal surgery (SITULCS) using conventional laparoscopic surgical instruments.
Methods: From April 2009 to July 2012, 44 patients with colorectal tumors underwent SITULCS at our department by using conventional laparoscopic instruments. The operations included right hemicolectomy (n = 8), sigmoidectomy (n = 5), total colectomy (n = 4), anterior resection of rectal cancer (n = 23), and abdominoperineal resection of rectal cancer (n = 4). We accessed the intraperitoneal lesions by three trocars through a single triangle-shaped umbilical incision using conventional instruments.
Results: We successfully completed SITULCS without specially designed instruments. No patient was converted to multiport laparoscopic surgery or open surgery. Only one case developed intraoperative bleeding and one postoperative adhesive intestinal obstruction.
Conclusion: Our experience shows that SITULCS using conventional instruments is feasible, safe, and convenient.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) can be challenging due to the difficulty of establishing a retrohepatic tunnel under laparoscopy. Dissecting the third hepatic hilum before parenchymal transection often leads to significant liver mobilization, tumor compression, and bleeding from the short hepatic veins (SHVs). This study introduces a novel technique utilizing the ventral avascular area of the inferior vena cava (IVC), allowing SHVs to be addressed after parenchymal transection, thereby reducing surgical complexity and improving outcomes in in situ LLR.

Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) as an established procedure for treatment of large kidney stones, can trigger life threatening complications. Postoperative hemorrhaging is one of the main complications of PCNL. This study investigates the effectiveness of balloon nephrostomy in reducing hemorrhage in the postoperative phase of PCNL.

The tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is highly favored by endourological urologists for its advantages in patient experience and length of hospital stay. However, there is currently no guideline or consensus that precisely describes tubeless PCNL. This study explores tubeless PCNL from two aspects: patient selection and technical improvements.

: This study aimed to determine the minimal effective dose of indocyanine green (ICG) required for accurately assessing colonic perfusion during laparoscopic colorectal surgery using a laser-assisted laparoscopic near-infrared (NIR) camera system. : In 15 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing right hemicolectomy, the left branch of the middle colic artery was preserved, and ICG angiography was performed in the transverse colon. To determine the optimal ICG dose, experimental doses of 0.
