AI Article Synopsis

  • * Three studies involving 346 patients were analyzed, finding no significant differences in overall morbidity, hospital stay, or complications between the two surgical methods.
  • * The robotic approach did yield a higher number of lymph nodes in cancer cases, indicating possible oncological advantages, but more extensive trials are needed to evaluate their costs and broader implications.

Article Abstract

The primary aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the operative outcomes of single-port laparoscopic versus single-port robotic platforms in colorectal surgery. A comprehensive literature search was conducted for studies comparing operative outcomes and short-term follow-up data of single-port laparoscopic versus single-port robotic colectomy. Data from eligible studies were extracted, qualitatively assessed, and included in a meta-analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and mean differences with 95 per cent confidence intervals were calculated. Three studies with a total of 346 patients (Robotic: 112 cases versus Laparoscopic: 234 cases) were included. There was no statistical difference noted with regard to overall morbidity, length of hospital stay and intra- and postoperative complications between the two groups. However, the robotic approach resulted in higher lymph nodes yield in oncologic cases (SMD -0.25, 95% CI -0.50 to -0.01, p = 0.04, I2 = 0%). Both single-port laparoscopic and robotic techniques appear to be safe and feasible options in colorectal surgery displaying comparable perioperative outcomes. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to justify their application, particularly with regard to procedurerelated costs.

Background: Laparoscopic-assisted single-port mediastinoscopic esophagectomy is a safe and effective emerging minimally invasive esophagectomy, but little has been reported about the learning curve for this technology. The goal of the study was to determine the number of procedures to achieve different levels of proficiency on the learning curve.

Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from consecutive surgeries performed by the same surgeon at the same center from 2016 to 2021.

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube.

We report a rare case of a 29-year old woman presenting with abdominal pain, whose initial examination failed to identify intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) threads. IUCD migration was confirmed by CT scan and subsequent single-port laparoscopic retrieval alleviated her symptoms.

Giant ovarian cysts (GOCs) have become less common in developed countries due to routine health screenings, but they remain prevalent in economically underdeveloped regions. Treatment options for GOCs depend on factors such as age, cyst characteristics, and pregnancy status. Minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic surgery has largely replaced traditional open surgery due to its aesthetic advantages and effectiveness.
