Myelolipomas represent 3-7% fromthe primary tumors of the adrenal gland. Most often they are incidental findings. In most cases are asymptomatic, rarely they present symptoms (pain, abdominal discomfort, hematuria or signs of internal hemorrhage). Histologically benign, this variety of tumor requires only local excision, in symptomatic forms. Their dimensions are generally up to 4-5 cm, so the laparoscopic approach seems the most appropriate. We present the case of a 65 years old patient, electively operated for a right adrenal tumor formation.Alaparoscopic right adrenalectomy was performed using an anterior transabdominal approach. No ligatures, clips or sutures were used. The intervention was accomplished with the Ligasure Maryland forceps and the Force Triad platform (Covidien Medtronic-USA). The postoperative evolution was favorable and the pathological examination highlighted an adrenal myelolipoma with intratumoral hemorrhage.

Background: Postoperative perineal hernia (PH) is an uncommon complication after abdominoperineal resection (APR). Different techniques have been described in literature and there is no consensus regarding the optimal repair approach. In the present study, we reported a case of a laparoscopic combined repair of a perineal hernia and abdominal parastomal hernia (PSH) with mesh.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the visibility of the fetal optic chiasm and optic tracts through ultrasound and establish reference values for mid-trimester fetuses.
- It included 154 normal fetuses at 19-23 weeks of gestation, measuring various dimensions using a specific ultrasound technique, successfully visualizing OC and OTs in 70.8% of cases.
- Results showed that the dimensions of OC and OTs were positively correlated with measurements of the cavum septum pellucidum, as well as other growth indicators like biparietal diameter and head circumference.

Introduction: The effectiveness of laparoscopic repair for recurrent inguinal hernias has been previously reported; however, recurrence following bilayer mesh use has rarely been reported. We report a case of successful total laparoscopic repair of a recurrent inguinal hernia of the bladder in which a bilayer mesh was used for the initial direct inguinal hernia.
Presentation Of Case: An 80-year-old man underwent hernia repair using a bilayer mesh for a right direct hernia 12 years ago.

Transabdominal ultrasonography is increasingly used as a novel modality for detecting pediatric functional constipation (FC). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the diagnostic parameters of FC including rectal diameter (RD) and anterior rectal wall thickness. A systematic search was conducted of the Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed databases through September 29, 2023, to identify studies comparing RD and anterior wall thickness using transabdominal ultrasonography in children with versus without FC.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how the thickness of the lower uterine segment (LUS) relates to the timing of labor in women with dichorionic twin pregnancies experiencing preterm labor symptoms.
- - It involved measuring LUS thickness and other cervical parameters in pregnant women between 24 and 32 weeks, and highlighted that thinner LUS correlates with earlier labor onset, specifically noting significant differences in thickness measurements between those giving birth before and after 34 weeks.
- - The findings suggest that LUS thickness could be a useful predictor for identifying the risk of spontaneous preterm birth in this group of pregnancies.
