Purpose: This paper aims to explore the safety and feasibility of a single-hole laparoscopic myomectomy through an abdominal scar approach.

Method: The clinical data of seven patients who underwent the single-hole laparoscopic myomectomy the abdominal scar approach from January to November 2021 in the Department of Gynecology, the Affiliated Changzhou No. 2 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, were studied retrospectively. The duration of operation, the intraoperative blood loss, the decrease of postoperative hemoglobin, and the postoperative visual analogue score (0 points: no pain, 10 points: maximum pain) were recorded.

Results: All seven patients received the operation successfully, without changing to the conventional laparoscopic operation or open appendectomy. The average blood loss was 101.42 ± 7.89 ml, the average length of hospital stay was 5 ± 0.53 days, the average operation duration was 130 ± 26.86 min, and the 24-h pain score was 1.57 ± 0.53. The seven patients had no intraoperative or postoperative complications and no damage to the ureter or bladder. All patients could urinate spontaneously without urinary retention or urinary tract infection after catheter removal. No analgesic drugs were used after the operation.

Conclusion: The single-hole laparoscopic myomectomy the abdominal scar approach is a more aesthetic and feasible option for eligible patients, but more cases and studies are needed for further confirmation.

Article Synopsis
  • Spaghetti knotting technology shows promise in improving LESS surgery by enhancing the operator's visual field and suturing accuracy compared to traditional knotting methods.
  • A study involving 40 junior residents found that those trained with spaghetti knotting technology completed tasks faster, used longer threads, and maintained better tissue integrity than those using conventional methods.
  • Overall, while the new technique reduced workload and improved performance in specific areas, both training methods had similar outcomes in needle insertion accuracy, knotting stability, and tissue tightness.

To explore the efficacy of domestic single-hole robotic surgery system in the treatment of pediatric urological diseases. A prospective review of clinical data of children who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Department of Urology, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was conducted from July to November 2023. All surgeries were performed using the sharp single-port serpentine arm robotic surgery system, with an umbilical access route.

Article Synopsis
  • The patient, a woman in her 70s, had a history of bladder cancer and developed a ureterocutaneous fistula after a cystectomy.
  • A colonoscopy revealed a type 1 elevated lesion in the ascending colon, diagnosed as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, prompting surgical intervention.
  • The surgery was carefully performed to avoid complications with the ureter, lasting 246 minutes with minimal blood loss, and the patient was discharged on the 6th day post-op, currently in recurrence-free follow-up.

Objective: To simulate hysteroscopic suturing in vitro and analyze the learning curve of gynecologists with different experience levels.

Methods: Three gynecologists were trained on uterine models in a circulating water box. The posterior uterine wall was sutured 10 times under hysteroscopy for 5 consecutive days, and the time of each suture procedure was recorded.
