AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic multivisceral resection (Lap-MVR) in general hospitals and evaluated the impact of the Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) in Japan on surgical outcomes.
- A review of 131 patients showed that those who underwent laparoscopic surgery (LAC group) experienced less blood loss and had higher body mass indexes compared to those who had open surgery (OPEN group).
- ESSQS-qualified surgeons had better outcomes in the LAC group, including less blood loss and higher resection rates, and they did not require conversions to open surgery, highlighting the benefits of advanced training for laparoscopic procedures.
Article Abstract
Background: The efficacy of laparoscopic multivisceral resection (Lap-MVR) has been reported by several experienced high-volume centers. The Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) was established in Japan to improve the skill of laparoscopic surgeons and further develop surgical teams. We examined the safety and feasibility of Lap-MVR in general hospitals, and evaluated the effects of the Japanese ESSQS for this approach.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 131 patients who underwent MVR between April 2016 and December 2019. Patients were divided into the laparoscopic surgery group (LAC group, n = 98) and the open surgery group (OPEN group, n = 33). The clinicopathological and surgical features were compared between the groups.
Results: Compared with the OPEN group, BMI was significantly higher (21.9 vs 19.3 kg/m, p = 0.012) and blood loss was lower (55 vs 380 ml, p < 0.001) in the LAC group. Operation time, postoperative complications, and postoperative hospital stay were similar between the groups. ESSQS-qualified surgeons tended to select the laparoscopic approach for MVR (p < 0.001). In the LAC group, ESSQS-qualified surgeons had superior results to those without ESSQS qualifications in terms of blood loss (63 vs 137 ml, p = 0.042) and higher R0 resection rate (0% vs 2.0%, p = 0.040), despite having more cases of locally advanced tumor. In addition, there were no conversions to open surgery among ESSQS-qualified surgeons, and three conversions among surgeons without ESSQS qualifications (0% vs 15.0%, p = 0.007). Multivariate analysis revealed blood loss (odds ratio 1.821; 95% CI 1.324-7.654; p = 0.010) as an independent predictor of postoperative complications. Laparoscopic approach was not a predictive factor.
Conclusions: The present multicenter study confirmed the feasibility and safety of Lap-MVR even in general hospitals, and revealed superior results for ESSQS-qualified surgeons.

Impact of Preoperative Lacrimal Sac Morphology on Postoperative Rhinostomy Shape and Prognosis in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy.

Purpose: To determine the association between the preoperative shape of the lacrimal sac and the postoperative shape of a rhinostomy in patients undergoing endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
Material And Methods: This retrospective study involved 180 cases among 129 patients. Preoperative dacryocystography (DCG) classified lacrimal sacs into constricted or cylindrical types based on their width relative to the nasolacrimal duct.

Background: Current methods to measure intragastric pH in horses have limitations. A wireless capsule has been designed for continuous esophageal pH monitoring in humans.
Objectives: To (1) determine the feasibility and describe the methodology of measuring intragastric pH wirelessly in horses; and (2) determine attachment duration of the capsules.
Long-term results of laparoscopic Heller-Dor for esophageal-gastric junction outflow obstruction: a prospective comparative study.

Background: The aim of this prospective, controlled study was to assess the 5-year follow-up of Laparoscopic Heller-Dor (LHD) in patients with esophago-gastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO), compared with achalasia patients (ACH). The management of EGJOO reflects the experience gained with esophageal achalasia, for which LHD has been proven to be an effective long-term treatment. Prospective long-term results of LHD in EGJOO patients are still lacking.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study included 76 patients (average age 61,4±15,3 years; 69 [91 %] males, 7 [9 %] females) with primary uncomplicated unilateral inguinal hernias who underwent TAPP. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 - 52 patients in whom the AbsorbaTack fixation device was used to secure the mesh; group 2 - 24 patients in whom the LiquiBand FIX8 cyanoacrylate adhesive was used.

Objective: Aim: To identify and evaluate the risk factors affecting the success of single-stage laparoscopic treatment for choledocholithiasis.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of treatment of 139 patients who underwent single-stage laparoscopic CBD exploration and cholecystectomy from 2018 to 2024. Data were analysed by the use of multivariate logistic regression to identify significant predictors of negative outcomes.
