Treatment of bile ducts injuries (BDI) treatment, combining minimally access surgical techniques, although their benefits, has been scarcely reported. We described a combined laparoscopic-endoscopic procedure, carried out in a patient with postoperative right hepatic duct (RHD) injury associated to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Based on a clinical case description, we illustrate the surgical technique and assess their applicability and results. A biliary fistula was identified employing laparoscopic cholangiography and a metallic clip applied, producing RHD occlusion, was retrieved under fluoroscopic guidance. A biliary "rendezvous" maneuver was done for positioning an endoscopic biliary stent. The biliary fistula disappeared within two weeks and during 40-months of follow-up the patient remains asymptomatic. Laparoscopic-endoscopic approach, although technically demanding, resulted effective to treat this patient. A Continuous follow-up is essential for evaluating the long-term results.

Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study assessed the safety and mid-term outcomes of classical laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for treating gastric submucosal tumors (G-SMTs) following national health insurance coverage.
- The study involved 201 patients across 21 institutions from April 2014 to March 2016, identifying classical LECS as the most common procedure performed, with a good resection rate and manageable complications.
- Results indicated that while most surgeries had favorable outcomes, postoperative complications occurred in 5% of cases, emphasizing the general effectiveness of these methods in clinical practice.

Introduction: Glomus tumor is a pericytic mesenchymal neoplasm that most commonly occurs in the extremities. The occurrence in visceral organs is rare and is a differential diagnosis with other gastric submucosal tumors.
Presentation Of Case: A woman with epigastric pain underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) which revealed a gastric submucosal tumor.

Cooperative laparoscopic or robotic-endoscopic surgery has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of early-stage colorectal cancers that are difficult to treat with endoscopic techniques alone. Cooperative surgery allows organ and function preservation by complementing the advantages of each modality, providing minimally invasive, precise and personalized treatment options. Laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery includes laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic resection, combined laparoscopic-endoscopic full-thickness resection, endoscopic-assisted laparoscopic wedge resection, endoscopic-assisted laparoscopic segmental resection, and laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery with sentinel lymph node dissection.

Article Synopsis
- LECS (Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery) effectively combines endoscopy and laparoscopy for resecting upper gastrointestinal lesions, showing promising results in safety and efficacy.
- A meta-analysis of 24 studies encompassing 1,336 patients revealed no significant differences in outcomes between LECS and traditional techniques like ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) or laparoscopic surgery, although LECS showed trends towards shorter hospital stays and fewer adverse events.
- Despite these positive results, the study's retrospective nature highlights the need for further prospective research to confirm LECS's advantages over established procedures.
