The available scientific literature has described the tangible benefits of operations using new 3-dimensional laparoscopic systems. The purpose of this report was to describe the first experience of pure 3-dimensional laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy for transplant in the Republic of Kazakhstan. A living-donor kidney transplant was performed in a 21-year-old male patient with the father as the donor. The operation was performed with general anesthesia using a 3-dimensional endo-videoscopic stance with flexible camera (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The time of warm ischemia was 130 seconds, and the total operation time was 280 minutes. The postoperative period proceeded smoothly, without any complication. The patient was discharged on day 3 after transplant with normal levels of creatinine and urea. The recipient's surgery was typical, and no complications or difficulties in perfor-ming anastomosis were encountered. With further accumulation of experience, 3-dimensional laparoscopic nephrectomy from living donors could become a new criterion standard.

Background: In recent years, laparoscopic hernia repair, i.e. transabdominal pre-peritoneal and totally extraperitoneal repairs have been considered the method of choice, especially for recurrent hernias after open repair or bilateral inguinal hernias.

We started performing esophagectomy by a laparoscopic transhiatal approach in 2009. Further, we started performing single-port mediastinoscopic cervical approach in 2014, and developed a technique for total mediastinal lymph node dissection. The upper and middle mediastinal lymph node dissection including lymph nodes along the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, using a left cervical approach, was performed with a single-port technique.

Background: Laparoscopic resection of hepatic segment 7 is considered particularly difficult. We analyzed anatomic variation of this segment in caudally oriented 3-dimensional (3D) magnified computed tomographic (CT) images obtained prior to liver resection.
Methods: Analysis included 105 patients with preoperative 3D CT evaluation preceding liver resection for hepatobiliary malignancies between April 2021 and April 2024.

Background: A history of abdominal surgery is considered a contraindication for laparoscopic procedures. However, the advancements in laparoscopic instruments and techniques have facilitated the performance of increasingly intricate operations, even in patients with prior abdominal surgeries. ICG fluorescence imaging technology offers advantages in terms of convenient operation and clearer intraoperative bile duct imaging, as confirmed by numerous international clinical studies on its feasibility and safety.
