Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been widely used for spontaneous pneumothorax (SP). In recent years, thoracic surgeons have attempted single incision or single port surgery with the development of surgical technology and skills. Theoretically, single port surgery is expected to provide benefits such as less pain and early recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine the benefits of single port surgery in SP.
Methods: The 107 patients with SP who underwent surgery, between July 2013 and May 2015, were reviewed retrospectively. The patients with secondary pneumothorax, who underwent open procedures and lacking of medical records were excluded. Visual analog scale (VAS), paresthesia and clinical outcomes were reviewed in 86 patients (46 patients: three-port, 40 patients: 11.5 mm guided single-port).
Results: The mean age was 23.4 years in three-port and 22.4 in single-port (P=0.247). The height and body weight were not significantly difference between two groups. The mean operation time was 39 minutes (mins) in the three-port and 37.3 mins in the single port without statistical difference (P=0.204). The pain score in the single port surgery was significantly lower after postoperative day (POD) 1 (P=0.028). However chest tube duration time was significantly shorter in the single port group (P<0.001). After exclusion of the patients with chest tube removal within postoperative 1 day, the pain score was not significantly different at the POD 1 between two groups (P=0.176). The pain score between two groups were not different at 1 week after discharge.
Conclusions: The pain score reduction was found 1 day after operation in the single port group. However, the chest tube duration time was significantly shorter in the single port group and the pain score was not different at 1 week after discharge. Considering young age in primary SP, the benefit of single port surgery in SP was minimal.

Background: Transumbilical single-port sleeve gastrectomy (SPSG) is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery that offers cosmetic benefits. However, the procedure's feasibility in patients with higher BMI or taller stature remains debated. This study evaluates the outcomes of SPSG based on patient height and BMI.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective analysis of 359 patients, the surgical indices, the time taken for the serum human chorionic gonadotropin level to return to normal, the recovery time of menstruation, and the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions were comparatively analyzed. The clinical efficacies of various preoperative treatment methods to block the blood supply to CSP tissues and those of four different surgical methods to treat CSP, namely, curettage, hysteroscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and vaginal surgery, were evaluated in this study.

Background Aims: Bulevirtide (BLV) is a novel and the only approved treatment option for patients with chronic hepatitis D (CHD). BLV alleviates liver inflammation already early during treatment when only minor HDV RNA changes are observed. We hypothesized that BLV-treatment may influence immune cells in CHD patients and performed a high-resolution analysis of natural killer (NK) cells before and during BLV-therapy.

Introduction: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine ultrasound and single-port laparoscopic images to not only achieve complete ablation of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions but also protect surrounding tissues from damage. The adverse events and complications were Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 1 or Society of Interventional Radiology classification grade A.
