Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery has become a standard treatment for inguinal hernia, with it recently being characterized by the use of smaller instruments. However, reports on needlescopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair using one umbilical 5-mm and two lateral 3-mm trocars are extremely rare.
Methods: Seven patients with unilateral inguinal hernia underwent this surgical procedure. A 5-mm trocar was inserted from the umbilical and two 3-mm trocars were inserted from the lateral. After dissection of the preperitoneal layer, a mesh was fixed using a tucker inserted from the umbilical 5-mm trocar while viewing through the 3-mm optics from the lateral trocar.
Results: All procedures were completed without intraoperative complications and conversion to the conventional method. The surgical results of our needlescopic TAPP repair have been shown to not be inferior to those of the conventional method.
Conclusion: Our needlescopic herniorrhaphy using one umbilical 5-mm trocar and two lateral 3-mm trocars is minimally invasive hernia repair.

Introduction: Bladder stones (BS) in children are a rare condition and represent 1-5 % of all urinary tract stones. With advances in miniaturized endoscopes and intracorporeal lithotripters, percutaneous cystolithotomy has been demonstrated to be an effective, safe and quick technique, despite the longer operative time. This limitation may be overcome by a semi-closed-circuit vacuum-assisted technology (vamPCL), characterized by a continuous inflow and a suction-controlled outflow (ClearPetra®).

Unlabelled: Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs), which can be prepared in advance and are presumed to be advantageous for nerve regeneration, have potential as a cell source for Bio 3D conduits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nerve regeneration ability of Bio 3D conduits made from UC-MSCs using a rat sciatic nerve defect model.
Methods: A Bio 3D conduit was fabricated using a Bio 3D printer by placing UC-MSC spheroids into thin needles according to predesigned 3D data.
Dapagliflozin improves the dysfunction of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by downregulating high glucose/high fat-induced autophagy through inhibiting SGLT-2.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how Dapagliflozin (Da) affects human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that suffer from high glucose and high fat conditions.
- Methods included various cell treatments and assays to evaluate the function and survival of HUVECs, as well as the expression of SGLT-2.
- Results indicated that Dapagliflozin improved cell proliferation, migration, and survival in HUVECs impaired by high glucose/high fat, suggesting its potential to counteract endothelial dysfunction via SGLT-2 inhibition.

Background Standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a four-port technique in which a camera port and three additional ports are used. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery with reduced-port surgery have been reported. However, evidence on the indications for minimally invasive surgery in patients with severe acute cholecystitis or previous upper abdominal surgery in whom laparoscopic surgery is considered challenging is limited.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) with D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer is becoming more accepted, but it's not yet standardized like other surgical procedures; this study presents 10 straightforward, reproducible steps to improve the surgery's ergonomics and vascular anatomy identification.
- The procedure involves adopting the French position with specific port placements designed for optimal comfort and access, allowing surgeons to efficiently dissect alongside major vascular structures like the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
- Identifying important anatomical landmarks, specifically the ligamentum teres and SMA/superior mesenteric vein (SMV) axis, is crucial for avoiding injury during dissection, making the surgical approach both effective and safer.
