Bochdalek hernias arise from a developmental failure of the pleuroperitoneal canal to close, allowing abdominal contents to herniate into the thorax and compress the developing lung parenchyma. In rare cases, Bochdalek hernias may arise in adults and usually present with symptoms related to the hernia. Treatment consists of either open, laparoscopic, or robotic repair to close the defect.

When evaluating the long-term follow-up of robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal (r-TAPP) approach to inguinal hernias, research remains limited due to small patient cohorts and shorter follow-up durations. The most significant research on inguinal hernia repair utilizing r-TAPP procedure includes follow-up periods of up to 2 years and examines approximately 150 cases. This article presents data from 434 consecutive r-TAPP procedures conducted on 324 patients, with follow-up ranging from a minimum of 3 years to 8 years.

Morgagni hernia (MH), a rare type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, does not have an established protocol for surgical repair. A MEDLINE search with terms related to various surgical approaches to repair MH in children was conducted. Articles comprising robotic-assisted surgery, laparoscopy, laparotomy, thoracoscopy, and thoracotomy over the last 20 years were assessed.

Swarm systems as a platform for open-ended evolutionary dynamics.

Artificial swarm systems have been extensively studied and used in computer science, robotics, engineering and other technological fields, primarily as a platform for implementing robust distributed systems to achieve pre-defined objectives. However, such swarm systems, especially heterogeneous ones, can also be utilized as an ideal platform for creating open-ended evolutionary dynamics that do not converge toward pre-defined goals but keep exploring diverse possibilities and generating novel outputs indefinitely. In this article, we review Swarm Chemistry and its variants as concrete sample cases to illustrate beneficial characteristics of heterogeneous swarm systems, including the cardinality leap of design spaces, multi-scale structures/behaviours and their diversity, and robust self-organization, self-repair and ecological interactions of emergent patterns, all of which serve as the driving forces for open-ended evolutionary processes.
