AI Article Synopsis
- The study offers tips for performing a single-site robotic-assisted myomectomy, a less invasive surgical option.
- It highlights that this technique, while challenging, can be made safer and more reproducible with proper training and the use of robotic systems.
- The findings suggest that single-site myomectomy, which maintains good aesthetic results, is comparable in outcomes to traditional multiport procedures for selected patients.
Article Abstract
Study Objective: To describe some tips and tricks that facilitate a single-site robotic- assisted (RA) myomectomy.
Design: Stepwise surgical tutorial using a narrated video (Canadian Task Force classification III).
Setting: Academic tertiary care hospital.
Interventions: Single-incision RA myomectomy is a novel technique that presents unique surgical challenges. Although similar in outcomes to multiport myomectomy, single-site myomectomy is more cosmetically appealing. Traditional laparoscopic single- site myomectomy has been associated with a steep learning curve. The robotic single-site platform mitigates some of these difficulties, which allows for the reproducibility and safety of this technique in appropriately selected patients. In this surgical tutorial, we present a case of a 7-cm type 2-5 fibroid removed with this approach.
Conclusion: Single-site RA myomectomy is a safe, minimally invasive option for appropriately selected patients. Although it is a challenging procedure, it provides excellent cosmesis and is reproducible with adequate training and expertise.

Improving Social Media-Based Support Groups for the Rare Disease Community: Interview Study With Patients and Parents of Children with Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases.

Background: The rarity that is inherent in rare disease (RD) often means that patients and parents of children with RDs feel uniquely isolated and therefore are unprepared or unsupported in their care. To overcome this isolation, many within the RD community turn to the internet, and social media groups in particular, to gather useful information about their RDs. While previous research has shown that social media support groups are helpful for those affected by RDs, it is unclear what these groups are particularly useful or helpful for patients and parents of children with RDs.

Thorough preoperative planning is essential, including a determination of the precise location of any deformity (proximal tibia, distal femur, or both). High tibial osteotomies and distal femoral osteotomies can be performed in isolation, or jointly in the form of a double-level osteotomy, for correction of coronal and/or sagittal deformity of the knee.

Endovascular repair has significantly improved the treatment of aortic aneurysms, particularly in older and high-risk patients. However, many studies have not found significant differences in long-term outcomes when comparing open and endovascular repair methods. Additionally, endovascular repair is associated with a higher rate of aortic-related reinterventions compared to open repair (OR), sometimes necessitating late open surgical conversion (LOSC).

Objective: Minimally invasive percutaneous techniques are used to stabilize fractures of the anterior pelvic ring. Stabilization of the fracture facilitates early mobilization and rehabilitation, while percutaneous techniques reduce complications such as infection and bleeding.
Indications: Indicated for patients with non- or minimally displaced fractures of the anterior pelvic ring, or if fracture displacement can be reduced using minimally invasive techniques.

Cardiac catheterization (CC) is essential for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and for its characterisation. It allows distinction between pre- and post-capillary PH which, when integrated with other non-invasive data, facilitates classification into one of the 5 diagnostic groups defined by international PH guidelines. CC also provides valuable information for the risk stratification of patients with PH, guiding management and the type and intensity of treatment.
