As medical diagnosis and treatment level improved, patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) live longer and may develop conditions that need laparoscopic surgery. The safety of laparoscopy in patients with VPS continues to be challenged due to pneumoperitoneum. Here, we report a patient with medical history of VPS and hemangioma, diagnosed with ovarian borderline mucinous cystadenoma, received laparoscopic surgery in supine position and 10 mmHg pneumoperitoneum pressure, in which no clamping or externalizing catheter, no perioperative or postoperative complications. We also present a literature review and discuss the precautions needing considering during laparoscopy. For patients with VPS, laparoscopic surgery can be recognized as a potentially safe and feasible procedure.

Importance: Previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of short-term histopathological outcomes and complications associated with transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) compared with laparoscopic TME. However, the long-term oncological outcomes of transanal TME remain ambiguous. This study aims to compare 3-year disease-free survival of transanal TME with laparoscopic TME.

Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) is getting global attention as an a surgical option to reduce local recurrence in locally advanced rectal cancer. As the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) is gaining popularity worldwide, a novel LLND approach was established adopting a two-team approach that combines the transabdominal and transanal approaches using the TaTME technique. This narrative review describes the advantages, anatomical landmarks, surgical techniques, and pitfalls of transanal LLND (TaLLND).

Background: Given the increasing prevalence of antiplatelet agent use and the lack of high-quality evidence, the CAPTAIN trial aimed to investigate the safety and provide recommendations on continuing acetylsalicylic acid perioperatively in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (LIHR).
Methods: The CAPTAIN trial was a multicentre, surgeon blind, randomized controlled trial conducted from April 2016 to April 2023. Patients undergoing LIHR were eligible for inclusion.
