Background: The need for cosmetic results in our society and the necessity of an early recovery have promoted the development of minimally invasive techniques, including single-port approach. Some studies have tried to demonstrate the advantages of this access compared with conventional laparoscopic approach. This type of approach requires a high-cost multi-port device, so that some surgeons have tried to create a low-cost homemade device.
Materials And Methods: With this video we intend to show how to build a glove port, a low-cost alternative for the approach by a single port.
Conclusions: A glove port is a cost effective approach that could be use instead of multi-port device.

Microbial Contamination and Isolator Gloves: If It All Came Down to the Size of a Hole?

Isolators play a critical role in protecting both the product and the environment, as well as the personnel involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing, analytical procedures, and sterility testing. Gloves attached to the windows and doors of the isolator are designed to facilitate intervention, testing, and safety. However, due to their inherent characteristics and vulnerability to puncture or loss of integrity, they are recognized as a significant potential source of contamination.

Background: Rectal division during minimally invasive surgery including robotic assisted surgery remains challenging, with current techniques often requiring multiple stapler firings to achieve effective transection.
Aims: We propose a novel technique which allows the use of a Contour® Curved Cutter Stapler to achieve rectal division during robotic assisted surgery.
Methods: The stapler is inserted through the routinely made pfannenstiel incision and a glove, over an Alexis® port used to create an airtight seal.
Subdural drain with Nelaton catheter and latex glove, a low-cost alternative and how to make it.

Article Synopsis
- Subdural hematoma is a common surgical issue in neurosurgery, but prefabricated drains are often inconsistently available due to various factors.
- A research study analyzed the costs of different subdural drain options, revealing that available prefabricated drains can be quite expensive ($25 to $150), prompting the need for a low-cost alternative.
- A guide for creating handmade subdural drains was developed, which emphasizes affordability and accessibility, especially for surgeons in developing countries, as these alternatives can be made for around $5.

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for colorectal cancer utilizes transvaginal access for bowel mobilization, vascular pedicle ligation, oncological resection, and bowel anastomosis, along with subsequent transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE), reducing or eliminating the need for transabdominal access. In this report, we describe the technique of vNOTES right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer, with intracorporeal anastomosis and transvaginal NOSE, including a step-by-step operative video. The patient was a 59-year-old Chinese female (body mass index 32.

Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is the standard of care for T1 renal tumors and nowadays being used for T2 or higher tumors, resulting in higher the conversion rates. To bridge this gap, the hand-assisted laparoscopy (HAL) method was introduced. Even now, in the robotic era, this HAL approach continues to find importance in urology, especially in the most challenging cases, albeit, with a relatively low usage rate due to the cost involved and availability of hand port devices.
