Objective: To evaluate obstetric outcomes of subsequent pregnancies in women who had a laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage.
Methods: A prospective observational study of consecutive women who became pregnant a second or third time after a laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage. Eligible women were considered not suitable for a transvaginal cerclage or had previously failed a transvaginal cerclage. The primary outcome was neonatal survival and the secondary outcome was delivery at 34 weeks of gestation or more.
Results: During the study period (2007-2018), 22 women who had undergone a laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage and completed one pregnancy with the cerclage in situ became pregnant a second or third time. In the first pregnancies with the cerclage in situ, the neonatal survival rate was 100% (22/22) and 86% (19/22) of women delivered after 34 weeks of gestation. In the second pregnancies, the neonatal survival rate was 95% (21/22) and 86% (19/22) of women delivered after 34 weeks of gestation. In the third pregnancies, the neonatal survival rate was 100% (3/3) and 100% (3/3) of women delivered after 34 weeks of gestation.
Conclusion: When left in situ for subsequent pregnancies, laparoscopic transabdominal cerclage is associated with a high rate of neonatal survival.

Department of General Surgery, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA.
Purpose: As the use of robotic platforms for inguinal hernia repairs continues to grow, the rTAPP (Robotic Trans-Abdominal Pre-Peritoneal) approach is being performed significantly more often than rTEP (Robotic Totally Extra-Peritoneal) and is predominantly taught to newly trained robotic surgeons. This study's primary objective was to evaluate the feasibility of a proposed modified rTEP technique that incorporates balloon dissection as a primary tool, enabling the horizontal placement of three trocars aligned with the umbilicus. Secondary objectives included evaluation of safety and effectiveness of this technique, and of the learning curve required to reach proficiency.

Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of self-retaining barbed double-layer sutures (SRBDS) used for wound sutures in stage T1 renal cancer undergoing peritoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic partial renal resection.
Methods: A total of 50 patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for localized renal tumors (< 7 cm) in Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected. The experimental-group and the control-group randomly included 25 patients, respectively.

A rare long-term complication of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair is mesh-induced appendicitis, of which only five cases have been described in the literature. We aimed to present our case of mesh-induced acute appendicitis after TAPP hernia repair. A 25-year-old male presented with a 2-day history of right iliac fossa pain, nausea and appetite loss.

Giant inguinoscrotal (GIS) hernias are rarely present in clinical settings and its treatment with a minimally invasive approach is often considered a challenge. In recent years, robotic surgical techniques have gained prominence in the medical field, offering advantages over traditional laparoscopic methods. The Hugo robotic system introduces a fresh paradigm by employing independent robotic arms, enhancing manoeuverability in diverse surgical contexts.
