Background: Despite the increasing number of reports on the favorable outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder cancer (GBC), there is no consensus regarding this surgical procedure.
Objective: The study aimed to develop a consensus statement on the application of laparoscopic surgery for GBC based on expert opinions.
Methods: A consensus meeting among experts was held on September 10, 2016, in Seoul, Korea.
Results: Early concerns regarding port site/peritoneal metastasis after laparoscopic surgery have been abated by improved preoperative recognition of GBC and careful manipulation to avoid bile spillage. There is no evidence that laparoscopic surgery is associated with decreased survival compared with open surgery in patients with early-stage GBC if definitive resection during/after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed. Although experience with laparoscopic extended cholecystectomy for GBC has been limited to a few experts, the postoperative and survival outcomes were similar between laparoscopic and open surgeries. Laparoscopic reoperation for postoperatively diagnosed GBC is technically challenging, but its feasibility has been demonstrated by a few experts.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery for GBC is still in the early phase of the adoption curve, and more evidence is required to assess this procedure.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, China.
Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is exceptionally rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old asymptomatic patient with a large abdominal cystic mass detected on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, initially suspected to be pseudomyxoma peritonei. Laparoscopic exploration revealed a 30 x 30 cm multilocular cystic tumour originating from the retroperitoneum.

Background: Endocrine hypertension is believed to be underestimated worldwide especially in the developing countries. There is a scarcity of publications on endocrine hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to reflect the profile of patients with endocrine hypertension of adrenal/paraganglioma origin at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH).

Bochdalek hernias arise from a developmental failure of the pleuroperitoneal canal to close, allowing abdominal contents to herniate into the thorax and compress the developing lung parenchyma. In rare cases, Bochdalek hernias may arise in adults and usually present with symptoms related to the hernia. Treatment consists of either open, laparoscopic, or robotic repair to close the defect.

University of Maryland, Department of Bioengineering, College Park, Maryland, United States.
Significance: Laparoscopic surgery is generally unavailable in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to the high cost of installation and lack of qualified personnel to maintain and repair equipment. We developed a low-cost, durable, reusable laparoscopic system, called the KeyScope laparoscope, for use in LMICs. To reliably build and service the KeyScope in LMICs, a portable testing chamber (PTC) is needed to assess image performance.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications following general anesthesia, particularly in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries. This study aims to evaluate the effect of intraoperative noise isolation on PONV incidence.
Method: This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial will enroll 192 adult patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
