Introduction: We report the execution of a cholecystectomy under complete fluorescence guidance using near-infrared camera images without switching to the white light mode, a method that has not been reported previously.
Presentation Of Case: An Asian woman in her fifties with no history of abdominal surgery was administered indocyanine green (ICG, 25 mg) intravenously 16 h before the surgery. Laparoscopic surgery was performed using VISION SENSE® with the four-trocar technique. The entire laparoscopic procedure was performed under fluorescence guidance. The orientation of the gallbladder neck can be recognized from the beginning of the procedure, and the serosal first incision could be positioned appropriately. All procedures were performed while the common bile duct was visualized. Peeling around the cystic duct and gallbladder bed was appropriately guided by ICG fluorescence.
Discussion: This method may be a safer form of surgery because the fluorescence did not disturb the surgical procedures.
Conclusion: Since this method was successful in this case, a case series is warranted.

Both photothermal therapy (PTT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) are designed to focus their antitumor effect on only the tumor site, thereby minimizing unwanted severe damage to healthy tissue outside the tumor. However, each monotherapy is limited in achieving complete tumor eradication, resulting in tumor recurrence. The combination of multiple therapies may help to overcome the limitations of single therapy, improve the chances of complete tumor eradication, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the role of pre-sacral sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with uterine cancer.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes patients with endometrial or cervical cancer who underwent minimally invasive indocyanine green SLN mapping at the Bern University Hospital from December 2012 to December 2022. A complete ultra-staging of the SLNs was performed in all cases.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral choroidal osteoma successfully treated with subscleral sclerectomy for secondary serous retinal detachment (SRD).
Observations: A 52-year-old Japanese woman first diagnosed with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and treated with steroids for 9 years was referred to our clinic. SRD in both eyes recurred frequently and was uncontrolled with adalimumab subcutaneous injections and oral cyclosporine, in addition to steroids.

The probiotic encapsulation system has the potential to enhance the prebiotic effects of probiotics. However, challenges arise from the release behavior of this system in vivo and the large size of hydrogel beads. This study aims to address the issues related to the size of previous hydrogel beads and assess the colon-targeted delivery of probiotic polysaccharides composite hydrogel beads (PPHB).

Background: Robotic hepatectomy has been increasingly adopted for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the ideal technique of parenchymal transection in robotic hepatectomy has been a matter of ongoing debate in literature.
Patients And Methods: In this video, we demonstrate the technique of robotic anatomical segment VIII resection using the scissor hepatectomy technique for parenchymal transection on a 75-year-old male patient with a solitary HCC lesion.
