Background: An all-inside endoscopic flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon transfer is indicated for the treatment of chronic, full-thickness Achilles tendon defects. The aim of this procedure is to restore function of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex while avoiding the wound complications associated with open procedures.
Description: This procedure can be performed through 2 endoscopic portals, a posteromedial portal (the working portal) and a posterolateral portal (the visualization portal).

Peroral flexible endoscopy is a minimally invasive technique that enables the local resection of gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs) with malignant potential. Resection techniques are mainly chosen on the basis of the lesion size. Minute SETs less than 1 cm should be managed through a watch and wait strategy, with the exception of histologically diagnosed superficial lesions, which require endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection.

However, except for select diseases such as Hirschsprung's Disease or Achalasia that show a significant loss of all neurons or a subset of neurons, our understanding of human ENS histopathology is extremely limited. Recent endoscopic advances allow biopsying patient's full thickness gut tissues, which makes capturing ENS tissues simpler than biopsying other neuronal tissues, such as the brain.

Background: Endoscopic resection of giant gastric leiomyomas, particularly in the fundus and cardia regions, is infrequently documented and presents a significant challenge for endoscopic surgery.
Case Summary: Herein, a case of a 59-year-old woman with a giant gastric leiomyoma was reported. The patient presented to the department of hepatological surgery with a complaint of right upper abdominal pain for one month and worsening for one week.

Background: Single port robotic platform offers articulation and 360° camera rotation for anorectal tumour excision in a narrow pelvic space. This study assesses the clinical usefulness and outcomes of SP robotic transanal surgery.
Methods: Nine patients who underwent transanal excision using the SP robotic platform were included.
