Aim: to compare surgical outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between total laparoscopic (TLRH) and total robotic radical hysterectomy (TRRH) for cervical cancer.
Patients And Methods: Surgical outcomes and HRQOL were compared between the two groups. Pre- and postoperative HRQOL data from 36-item Short Form (SF-36) and European Organization Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-C30(EORTC QOL-C30) questionnaires were recorded.
Results: In the TRRH group, there were more cases of para-aortic lymphadenectomy (p<0.01), longer operative time (p<0.01), less estimated blood loss (p<0.01), and more harvested pelvic lymph nodes (p=0.04). There were no significant differences in the SF-36 and the EORTC QOL-C30 between the two groups.
Conclusion: TRRH surgical outcomes were associated with less blood loss and more harvested pelvic lymph nodes but longer operative times with statistical significance. The short-term postoperative HRQOL outcomes did not show any significant inter-group differences.

Background: Obesity is a growing global health issue, with a prevalence rate of 28.8% in Jordan. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for morbid obesity, yet complications such as postoperative bleeding and leakage remain significant concerns.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine interventions and identify risk factors for lymphocele formation following kidney transplant.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 296 adult kidney transplants from 2010 to 2022 to investigate postoperative lymphocele formation. We divided patients into lymphocele cases and nonlymphocele cases.

Background: Globally, totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy is increasingly being accepted by surgeons for the treatment of gastric cancer. Overlap anastomosis and π-shaped anastomosis are the two most commonly used anastomosis methods in total laparoscopic surgery; however, their safety and suitability for the population are still unclear.
Methods: A total of 162 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent total laparoscopic total gastrectomy with overlap or π-shaped anastomosis were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder associated with obesity. Many studies have reported the effect of bariatric surgery on the decrease of serum uric acid level in patients with hyperuricemia. However, since the update of diagnostic criteria of hyperuricemia, the correlation between preoperative body mass index, postoperative weight changes, and the remission of hyperuricemia in patients with obesity after sleeve gastrectomy requires consensus.

Is it possible for a low-volume surgeon to enhance their surgical skills without performing actual surgeries by utilizing virtual reality headsets and emerging technologies? It has been observed that the time spent by surgical assistants in the operating room decreased after the post-shift leave regulation. In the literature, the use of virtual reality simulations as a support tool in surgical training is recommended. Although the efficacy of virtual reality surgical simulations in surgeries such as arthroscopy and laparoscopy has been proven, there are limited studies on their effect in open surgeries.
