Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremity is common and includes aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Moreover, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is now treated with surgical robotic-assisted procedures. This paper overviews two cases of limb ischemia after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and their resolution. During both RARP, limb ischemia occurred due to the robotic instrument compressing the modified vascular structure. Indeed, in the surgical history of the concerned patients, one was treated by an endovascular procedure and the other one was treated by a surgical bypass for AIOD. Expectantly, these cases will alert the urologic surgeons to pay attention to the vascular surgery history of a patient before RARP.

Purpose Of Review: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a highly heterogeneous condition with a wide choice of successful treatment options. However, differences between subtypes are poorly understood and it remains unknown which patients will respond to different treatments. This review aims to summarize the current state of the TN field and explore the problem of predicting surgical outcomes.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading surgically treatable cause of hypertension, with adrenalectomy as the definitive treatment for unilateral PA (UPA). However, some patients have persistent hypertension after surgery. This study aims to identify preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes and develop a predictive model for postoperative hypertension resolution.

Although the role of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) in accelerating diabetic wound healing has been proven, their synergistic effect is still debated. This study aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of LLLT and hADSC on wound healing and on biomechanical parameters in type 2 diabetic rabbits. In this experimental study, 40 rabbits with type 2 diabetes (induced by streptozotocin (STZ)) were included.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Introduction: Craniopharyngiomas are challenging benign tumors arising from Rathke's pouch remnants, often requiring multidisciplinary management due to their proximity to critical neurovascular structures. This meta-analysis systematically compares conventional radiation therapy (RT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (RS) in treating residual or recurrent craniopharyngiomas.

Method: A comprehensive literature search identified 44 studies, including 46 reports, meeting inclusion criteria such as progression-free survival (PFS) and post-radiotherapy complications.
