Introduction: Isolated seminal vesicle cysts not associated with Zinner syndrome is a rare disorder that can present initially with urinary obstructive symptoms or nonspecific groin pain.
Case Description: We present the uncommon case of a dermoid cyst mimicking a seminal vesicle cyst treated with robotic-assisted laparoscopic seminal vesiculectomy.
Conclusion: For dermoid cysts, surgical excision is the gold standard of treatment with a high cure rate and little risk of regrowth if spillage is avoided and full resection is completed. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is a viable management option with good visualization of the anatomy.

Objective: This study aims to compare the cognitive workload levels of general surgery residents by measuring prefrontal cortex hemodynamic activity while performing a similar task using robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and laparoscopic surgery simulators.
Design: The study was conducted with 22 general surgery residents who completed a peg transfer task in simulated laparoscopic and RAS training environments. Participants' performance and neurophysiological data were collected over a 1-month period.

Background: The application of robotic adrenalectomy (RA) is increasing. However, there is still controversy over whether RA is more feasible than laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for large adrenal tumors (LATs).
Methods: This meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of RA versus LA for LATs.

Recently, urological surgery has undergone remarkable technological advances and these new technologies are being adapted to a wide array of medical fields. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures are not limited to radical prostatectomy, but include partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, radical cystectomy, and more. Perioperative infection control measures are not limited to the selection, method, and duration of antimicrobials, but include new evidence about smoking cessation, abstinence from alcohol, blood glucose control, and nutritional status assessment as well as time off just before operations.

Complete mesocolic excision (CME) for colorectal cancer builds on the success of total mesorectal excision (TME), the international gold standard for rectal cancer. In TME, removal of the primary tumor along with associated mesocolon and accompanying structures as single intact specimen allows in toto excision of all structures that could potentially lead to dissemination. Recent meta-analysis has confirmed that CME results in better disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates.

To explore the clinical effect of the whole-process management scheme of daytime minimally invasive liver resection surgery based on the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) concept. This is a retrospective case series study. The data of 55 patients who underwent minimally invasive daytime liver resection surgery under the ERAS concept at the Department of General Surgery,Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2023 to August 2024.
