Aim: To demonstrate training curves for endosurgical interventions in neonates and infants.

Material And Methods: It was analyzed duration of thoracoscopic reconstruction of esophageal atresia (31 patients) and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (61 patients) performed for the period from January 2005 to December 2012. Graphs and tables reflecting correlation between duration and number of operations were framed.

Results: Figures demonstrate reducing duration of surgery with increase of endosurgical interventions number.

Conclusion: Our data revealed that time necessary for minimally invasive procedures in infants and neonates decreases in process of experience accumulation.

Background: By 2030, projections indicate that nearly half of USS adults will be obese, with 29 states exceeding a 50% obesity rate. High Body Mass Index (BMI) presents particular challenges in treating diverticulitis, including worsened symptoms and increased risk of surgical complications. The Robotic Natural orifice Intracorporeal Anastomosis with Transrectal Extraction (NICE) procedure has been developed for colorectal surgeries to tackle these challenges.

Objective: To evaluate the short-term outcomes of mechanical and hand-sewn laparoscopic one-anastomosis mini-gastric bypass.

Material And Methods: There were 233 patients who underwent laparoscopic one-anastomosis mini-gastric bypass. Short-term results were analyzed in groups of mechanical (the first group, =108) and hand-sewn (the second group, =125) gastrojejunostomy.

Radicular cysts are the most common cystic lesions that affect the jaws, which, though mostly asymptomatic, can be seen radiographically as an oval or pear-shaped unilocular radiolucency in the periapical region. Nonsurgical root canal procedures and periapical surgery followed by placement of bone substitute and bioceramic root-end filling material is generally the treatment of choice. This case report highlights the endosurgical management of long-standing trauma that led to a radicular cyst with respect to three maxillary anterior teeth in a young adult.
