Background: The deadline for early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) is the subject of much debate. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of ELC in patients with more than 7 days of symptoms.
Methods: It is a retrospective analysis of 564 patients having undergone ELC for ACC between January 2003 and June 2021. Patients were divided into two groups according to the timing between the onset of symptoms and surgery: group 1 (G1), within the first 7 days of symptoms, and group 2 (G2) after day 7 of symptoms.
Results: Apart from a longer operative time (G1 80 min vs. G2 90 min; p = 0.016), there were no significant differences regarding conversion rate (G1 14.5% vs. G2 13.2%; p = 0.748), both intra- and postoperative complications, mainly bile duct injuries (G1 0.2% vs. G2 0%; p = 1) and bile leakage (G1 1.2% vs. G2 0%; p = 1) and postoperative length of stay (G1 2 days [1-3] vs. G2 2 days [1-4]; p = 0.125).
Conclusion: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy could be proposed for patients with acute calculous cholecystitis even beyond 7 days of symptoms.

With the advancement of precise hepatobiliary surgery concepts, the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for hepatic echinococcosis have undergone significant transformations. However, whether these changes have correspondingly improved patient outcomes remains unclear. A retrospective analysis of these changes will provide crucial guidance for the prevention and treatment of hepatic echinococcosis.

Introduction: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) reversal might be necessary to alleviate refractory surgical or nutritional complications, such as postprandial hypoglycemia, malnutrition, marginal ulceration, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, or excessive weight loss. The surgical technique of RYGB reversal is not standardized; potential strategies include the following: (1) gastro-gastrostomy: hand-sewn technique, linear stapler, circular stapler; (2) handling of the Roux limb: reconnection or resection (if remaining intestinal length ≥ 4 m).
Case Presentation: We demonstrate the surgical technique of a laparoscopic reversal of RYGB with hand-sewn gastro-gastrostomy and resection of the alimentary limb with the aim of improving the patient's quality of life.

Background: A new era in minimally invasive surgery has been ushered in by Leonardo's robot surgical system, but the safety and effectiveness in cervical cancer is lake of evidence. This study aimed to compare the safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (RRH) and conventional laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) in patients with cervical cancer.
Methods: Patients with cervical cancer who had radical surgery at the first affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between January 2017 and June 2022 were enrolled.

It is well established that host immunity plays a critical role in defending against colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Connective tissue disease (CTD) encompasses a group of heterogeneous, immune-mediated disorders that present with diverse and often non-specific initial symptoms. Raynaud's phenomenon is a common feature, complicating early diagnosis.
