Conventional «open» procedures for ventral hernias and diastasis recti are widely known, used everywhere and have a great number of author's improvements related to surgeon's experience, availability of modern information, equipment and materials. K. LeBlanc and W. Booth (1993) reported IPOM-method with non-adhesive coating that is considered a milestone in surgery of anterior abdominal wall and ventral hernia. This technique has gained recognition among surgeons around the world due to its technical simplicity, minimal invasiveness and high reproducibility. However, certain disadvantages of this technique have been shown over the past time that justified advisability of searching for another methods of anterior abdominal wall reinforcement. Thus, E-Milos, LIRA, TESAR, eTEP, REPA, TARM, TARUP techniques are currently available. This review is devoted to technical features of these techniques, their potential advantages and disadvantages.

Background: Emphysematous esophagitis is a very rare disease and there are only a few previous reports in the literature. Previously reported cases have resulted in emphysematous esophagitis following anterior cervical procedures or ingestion of hydrogen peroxide (HP). In this report, we describe a case in which a patient with emphysematous esophagitis accompanied by gastritis without the above predisposing factors was treated with conservative treatment.

In recent years, robotic assistance has become increasingly used and applied in minimally invasive surgeries. A new cooperative surgical robot system that includes a joystick-guided robotic scope holder was developed in this study, and its feasibility for use in minimally invasive abdominal surgery was evaluated in a preclinical setting. The cooperative surgical robot consists of a six-degree-of-freedom collaborative robot arm and a one-degree-of-freedom bidirectional telescopic end-effector specializing in surgical assistance.

Introduction: Deep inspiration breath hold technique has shown promise in reducing cardiac toxicity and improving patient outcomes. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the implementation of abdominal breath hold technique and its impact on cardiac dose. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide insights into the comparative effectiveness of abdominal and thoracic breath hold in mitigating cardiac toxicity during radiation therapy for left-sided breast cancer.
