Background: There is currently no universally-accepted, ideal method of esophagogastric reconstruction to address reflux esophagitis and anastomotic complications of esophagogastrostomy after proximal gastrectomy.
Case Report: In June 2022, two patients with Siewert type II carcinoma of esophagogastric junction underwent laparoscopic proximal gastrectomies, using a novel esophagogastrostomy technique of Conical remnant GastroEsophageal side-Overlap fundoplication (CGEO). On postoperative day 4, upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy was performed, with patients in downward and left oblique positions, allowing gastrografin to accumulate within fundic reconstructions. No reflux into the esophagus was subsequently observed, and both patients were discharged (postoperative days 9 and 11). Six months after surgery, endoscopic view showed that the reconstructed cardia returned to its normal state, in the absence of any reflux symptoms. As of April 2023, we have operated on four patients using CGEO, and all of them recovered without obvious reflux symptoms.
Conclusion: CGEO is a feasible and safe reconstructive esophagogastrostomy procedure following laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction carcinoma.

The management of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks post surgery is a considerable challenge, characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of esophageal-jejunal anastomotic leaks. Diverse endoscopic intervention techniques have been utilized with enhanced success. We present a case where a 57-year-old patient with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer underwent endoscopic deployment of a fully covered stent into a fistula resulting from anastomotic leakage, following a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y and double tract reconstruction.

Pyeloplasty at an early age (<2 years) can be treated by a flank open, laparoscopy or robotic approach. We want to demonstrate our strategy and how to construct a very inexpensive pyelostent from a Foley tube. The Ottoni catheter is made from a Foley tube, sectioning the proximal end keeping a plastic circular basement for fixation to the skin.

Background: Robotic surgery may have shown advantages over conventional laparoscopic surgery, but the da Vinci SP system, which utilizes a single incision, has had limited use in gastric cancer surgery. This study aims to evaluate the short-term outcomes of a novel hybrid technique, minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery (MILAR), with the da Vinci SP system for gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 23 consecutive patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer using the MILAR technique with the da Vinci SP system between May and October 2024.

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a type of bariatric surgery. Gastric stenosis or obstruction is a known complication of LAGB; however, its occurrence after band removal is extremely rare. A 60-year-old female, who had undergone LAGB 6 years earlier and band removal 4 years prior, presented to the hospital with recurrent vomiting.

Background: Chronic endometritis (CE), frequently asymptomatic, is associated with female infertility. Fallopian tube obstruction (FTO) is also one of the factors contributing to female infertility. More than 90% of cases of proximal FTO can be successfully treated after fallopian tubal recanalization (FTR) and the spontaneous pregnancy rate of treated women after FTR is only about 30%.
