Introduction: Only few reports are known about the use of robotic surgery for prostate benign enlargement. The robotic surgery can be improved by laparoscopic tricks. We show a video of robotic adenomectomy where a laparoscopic dissector is used to help create the plan between prostatic capsule and adenoma.
Materials And Methods: A 62 years old male had severe urinary flow outlet obstruction. Medical therapy was not effective. Ultrasound detected a 92gr enlarged prostate with a large middle lobe. Robotic assisted adenomectomy was scheduled. The procedure followed this sequence: opening of Retzius space, superficial suture of the Dorsal vein complex, horizontal cistotomy. The plan was created with electrocautery and blunt dissection with the laparoscopic dissector. Haemostatic sutures were placed between prostate fossa and the posterior bladder neck and closure of the cistotomy.
Results: Whole operation time was 160 minutes, with a blood loss of 80cc. There was no perioperative or post-operative complication. Catheter was removed after 4 days. Post-operatory uroflowmetry shows a peak flow of 30ml/sec. Pathological examination is negative for tumor. After 60 days IPSS was 8.
Conclusion: Robotic prostate adenomectomy using the laparoscopic dissector is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic enlargement. It is a novel technique to find and dissect the plane between prostatic adenoma and capsule. This could be one more use of laparoscopic technology to improve surgical outcomes in robotic field.

Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive techniques, including robotic and laparoscopic surgery, are gaining traction in hepatobiliary surgery due to improved short-term outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
- These methods are associated with reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and similar oncologic results, making them a viable option for various liver-related surgeries.
- While robotic surgery shows advantages like less bleeding and a shorter learning curve, further research is needed on its cost-effectiveness and the development of specialized training programs.
Purpose: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold standard for the treatment of gallbladder (GB) disease in small animals. The aims of this study were to investigate and compare the effect of different types of dissectors during LC in rabbits; electrothermal bipolar vessel sealing device (EBVS-LigaSure) and standard electrosurgical dissection (bipolar Maryland) for dissection of the GB in LC, correlating liver function tests (LFTs) in pre and postoperative periods (days 0, 3, 7, 15); macroscopic checking 15 days after surgery through necropsy; histopathological, bacteriological through bacterial growth by culture and intraoperative complications.
Methods: Twenty rabbits were used, group (n = 10) using EBVS for GB dissection and cystic duct seal (GLL), and group (n = 10) using bipolar dissecting forceps and EVBS for cystic duct seal (GLE).
Laparoscopic Extended Segmentectomy VIII Guided by Three-Dimensional Reconstruction and Hepatic Veins with a Cranio-Caudal Approach.

Introduction: Minimally invasive resection of segment VIII is a technically challenging procedure, made even more challenging when the resection is extended to segment IV and/or segment VII. Parenchymal-sparing resections are frequently used in the management of liver metastases but expose to the risk of R1 resection, especially with a minimally invasive approach. Preoperative surgical planning with 3D reconstruction and intraoperative guidance with hepatic vein is helpful for laparoscopic oncological liver resection.

Article Synopsis
- A new dissector device called DisePad has been developed for laparoscopy to improve the dissection and cleaning of anatomical structures.
- The device, patented in Mexico, features a tip made of a cotton-polyester cloth that is soaked in a special gel and hot saline to maintain tissue temperature during procedures.
- In 364 laparoscopic surgeries, DisePad has proven effective for visualizing and separating tissues without causing damage or complications like thermal injury or bleeding.
Medium-Term Outcomes of the Godoy Burnia Repair: Durability of a Sutureless Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair in Girls.

Several methods to repair pediatric inguinal hernias utilizing a minimally invasive technique have been developed over the decades. These methods often involve passage of suture through the peritoneum at the level of the inguinal ring. We previously described the Godoy Burnia, a laparoscopic, sutureless, cautery-only inguinal hernia repair (IHR), and this follow-up study provides longer term data for this emerging surgical technique.
