Article Abstract
Purpose: We measured how much CO gas was used in urologic laparoscopic surgeries and studied whether the amount of gas was associated with postoperative pain.
Materials And Methods: Four hundred sixty-three patients underwent urologic laparoscopic surgeries by a single surgeon. All surgeries were performed by a transperitoneal approach under a 15-mm Hg pneumoperitoneum using CO gas. The amount of CO was measured. Neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium was performed during the surgery and patient-controlled analgesia was also applied. Postoperative pain was assessed four times for 24 hours using a 10-point visual analogue scale.
Results: The mean laparoscopic time was 75.65±38.19 minutes and the mean amount of CO gas used was 415.70±190.68 L. The mean score on the postoperative pain scale was 6.37±1.48 for 12 hours (sum of measurements taken at 6 and 12 hours after the surgery) and 11.72±2.46 for 24 hours (sum of measurements at 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours). In the statistical analysis, there were no correlations between the amount of CO used and pain scores for 12 and 24 hours postoperatively. There were no correlations between laparoscopic time and pain scores for 12 or 24 hours postoperatively. There were also no correlations between operative method and pain scores for 12 or 24 hours postoperatively.
Conclusions: We recorded the amount of CO gas used for each laparoscopic surgery. There was no correlation between the amount of CO used and postoperative pain. The lack of correlation may have been because the surgery was performed under anesthesia with deep neuromuscular blockade.

Outcomes following laparoscopic adrenalectomy: Experience of more than two decades at a tertiary care centre.
J Minim Access Surg

Department of Surgical Disciplines, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Introduction: Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy was first described by Gagner M et al. Here, we present our experience of more than two decades of laparoscopic adrenalectomy performed in a single surgical unit at a tertiary care centre.
Patients And Methods: A prospectively collected database of patients undergoing laparoscopic adrenalectomy from December 1994 to May 2020 was analysed retrospectively.
Biliary sepsis, characterized by contamination and infection of the biliary tract, poses a serious medical issue with detrimental effects on the patients. While cholecystectomy is the usual treatment for symptomatic gallstones, the most desirable management approach for biliary sepsis remains debated, prompting a scientific evaluation of the long-term effects of cholecystectomy. To compare the long-term outcomes of biliary sepsis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy versus conservative management (CM), this study will systematically review the existing literature to clarify differences in recurrence rates, complication rates, and overall survival.

Objective: Urinary continence after radical prostatectomy is a crucial aspect of patient quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify the factors influencing urinary continence after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, focusing on the role of anterior reconstruction.
Methods: We collected clinical data from 375 patients at a single institution.

Background: Nutritional problem after surgery for Hirschprung's disease (HSCR) was not optimistic. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors of postoperative undernutrition for patients with HSCR and establish a scoring system for predicting postoperative undernutrition.
Methods: Retrospective review of 341 patients with HSCR who received Laparoscopic-assisted pull-through surgery in a tertiary-level pediatric hospital was conducted with assessments of clinical data.

We present a case in which renal mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) was considered in the differential diagnosis based on preoperative imaging findings. A 38-year-old woman was found to have a right renal tumor during an abdominal ultrasound examination conducted as part of a health checkup. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 50 × 40-mm mass in the middle of the right kidney.
