Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the laparoscopic with the open approach in hemoperitoneum of gynecological origin.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of patients admitted to a tertiary emergency hospital between January 2013 - January 2015.
Results: There were 56 patients, 27 in the laparoscopic group (LG) and 28 in the open group (OG). The gynecological emergency was a ruptured ovarian cyst in 20 (74%) versus 17 (59%) cases, and an ectopic pregnancy with tubal rupture in 7 (26%) versus 12 (41%) patients in both the laparoscopic and open approaches, respectively. The main outcome - mean intraoperative hemoglobin decrease - was 1.5 +- 1.2 g/dl in the laparoscopic and 1.9 +-1.4 in the open approach (p=0.344). There were no differences regarding red blood transfusion rate, needs for analgesics, postoperative complications and in-hospital stay.
Conclusion: The laparoscopic approach in acute abdomen of gynecologic origin is non-inferior to open surgery.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects millions globally, with traditional treatments like proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and surgical fundoplication presenting challenges such as long-term medication dependency and disturbing long term side effects following surgery. This review explores emerging, alternative therapies that offer less invasive, personalized alternatives for GERD management. Endoscopic approaches, including Stretta therapy, transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF), and endoscopic full-thickness plication (EFTP), demonstrate promising but also controversial outcomes in symptom relief and reduced acid exposure.

: We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis to evaluate and compare the perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) with open radical prostatectomy (ORP) in patients with prostate cancer. A comprehensive literature search was performed in Pubmed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library for papers published before May 2021. Only studies of patients with prostate cancer that assessed perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes and reported outcome values were included.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective intervention for patients with severe obesity and metabolic comorbidities, particularly when non-surgical weight loss methods prove insufficient. MBS has shown significant potential for improving quality of life and metabolic health outcomes in individuals with obesity, yet it carries inherent risks. Although these procedures offer a multifaceted approach to obesity treatment and its clinical advantages are well-documented, the limited understanding of its long-term outcomes and the role of multidisciplinary care pose challenges.
