Introduction: Tumor cell spillage during the colpotomy has been suspected as one reason for poor oncologic outcomes in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) for cervical cancer. To prevent such tumor spillage in LRH, we focused on use of a Gutclamper which is a device originally designed to clamp the colon and rectum during colorectal resections.
Materials And Surgical Technique: A woman with stage IB1 cervical cancer underwent LRH using the Gutclamper. The Gutclamper was inserted into the abdominal cavity via 5-mm trocar, the vagina was clamped, and an intracorporeal colpotomy was performed caudal to this device.
Discussion: The Gutclamper can be used to clamp the vaginal canal and avoid the exposure of cervical tumor, regardless of the surgeon's skills or patient conditions. An intracorporeal colpotomy using the Gutclamper can contribute to the standardization of LRH.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if modified tumor-free techniques in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy improve outcomes for early-stage cervical cancer patients.
- Patients who underwent the modified technique had shorter hospital stays and significantly lower recurrence rates compared to those who had conventional surgery.
- The findings suggest that modified tumor-free laparoscopic hysterectomy is a viable option, leading to better disease-free survival rates in this patient population.

Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) for colorectal cancer utilizes transvaginal access for bowel mobilization, vascular pedicle ligation, oncological resection, and bowel anastomosis, along with subsequent transvaginal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE), reducing or eliminating the need for transabdominal access. In this report, we describe the technique of vNOTES right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer, with intracorporeal anastomosis and transvaginal NOSE, including a step-by-step operative video. The patient was a 59-year-old Chinese female (body mass index 32.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find factors linked to disease recurrence in patients with early-stage cervical cancer (2018 FIGO stage IA to IB1) who were treated using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) between 2010 and 2021.
- Out of 722 patients, 49 (6.8%) had disease recurrence, with notable five-year disease-free survival (90.7%) and overall survival (98.1%) rates; factors associated with higher recurrence risk included residual disease, specific surgical techniques, and positive resection margins.
- Findings suggest that patients with cervical tumors ≤2 cm might be at risk for peritoneal recurrences and that those diagnosed through conization typically exhibit low-risk

In the Laparoscopic Approach to Cervical Cancer trial, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been associated with significantly lower disease-free survival and overall survival rates. The proposed reasons for the increased recurrence and mortality associated with MIS are uterine manipulation, the effect of insufflation gas (CO), and intracorporeal colpotomy. We applied 2 techniques during surgery to reduce tumor spillage in laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH), which included avoiding using a uterine manipulator and containing the colpotomy using an endoscopic stapler.
