Background: Postoperative wound recovery following laparotomy for port-site metastasis (PSM) resection is a concern. Reports indicate that wound healing disorders occur in patients with PSM. The challenges associated with PSM resection include the complete removal of the lesion, ensuring rapid wound healing, and maintaining the integrity of the abdominal wall. To date, there have been no reports on a minimally invasive approach for PSM resection following ovarian cancer through the inner side of the abdominal wall.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old G2P1 patient with a history of high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma IIA presented with two abdominal wall masses, suspected to be PSM. She underwent laparoscopic resection of the lesions under general anesthesia. The excised masses measured approximately 10 cm and 5 cm, and margins were negative. The surgery lasted 1 hour and 33 minutes, with minimal intraoperative bleeding and no complications. The postoperative recovery was smooth. No recurrence was observed during the 12-month follow-up.
Conclusions: In our view, laparoscopy may be used as a minimally invasive technique that allows for PSM in the abdominal wall.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major malignancy. Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has gained popularity due to various advantages. Despite those advantages, many hospitals lack the necessary equipment for RG and are still performing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) due to its established minimal invasiveness and safety.

Hemodynamic stabilization is crucial in managing acute cardiac events, where compromised blood flow can lead to severe complications and increased mortality. Conditions like decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock require rapid and effective hemodynamic support. Current mechanical assistive devices, such as intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), offer temporary stabilization but are limited to short-term use due to risks associated with prolonged blood contact.

Background: Lung cancer surgery is associated with a high incidence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP), which necessitates long-term analgesic prescriptions. However, while essential for managing pain, these have shown various adverse effects. Current guidelines recommend using peripheral nerve blocks over epidural anaesthesia for perioperative analgesia in minimally invasive thoracic surgery (MITS).

Objective: This study aims to identify the risk factors for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with a controlled irrigation pressure and to find which patients undergoing PCNL are likely to develop SIRS under the pressure-controlled condition.
Methods: A total of 303 consecutive patients who underwent first-stage PCNL in our institute between July 2016 and June 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All the procedures were performed with an 18 F tract using an irrigation pump setting the irrigation fluid pressure at 110 mmHg and the flow rate of irrigation at 0.

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.
