Published: November 2024

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are chronic gynecological conditions that significantly impact women's quality of life, leading to symptoms such as pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Despite ongoing research, a definitive cure for these conditions remains elusive, and treatment often focuses on managing symptoms. Minimally invasive surgery is considered the gold standard for surgical management, but novel surgical techniques are continuously being developed to enhance outcomes. These innovations aim to reduce disease recurrence, improve fertility rates, and provide better long-term symptom relief. In addition, techniques like robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAS) have revolutionized the treatment of complex cases, such as deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), offering improved precision and effectiveness. This review explores the latest advancements in surgical approaches, their clinical efficacy, and future directions, emphasizing the need for individualized multidisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes.

Laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct (CBD) has emerged as a predominant method in hepatobiliary surgery owing to its minimally invasive nature and favorable outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Suturing the CBD during laparoscopic procedures is critical for ensuring proper bile drainage and reducing postoperative complications. This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent laparoscopic exploration of the CBD for choledocholithiasis at the Wujin Hospital Affiliated with Jiangsu University between January 2016 and December 2023.

Background: Minimal access liver surgery (MALS) is considered superior to open liver resection (OLR) in reducing the perioperative risk in patients affected by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). No national-level comparisons exist based on procedure complexity. This study aims to compare postoperative complications, postoperative ascites (POA), and major complications (MC) between MALS and OLR.

Background: Caesarean section (CS) is an important indicator of access to and quality of maternal health services. The WHO recommends the Robson 10-group classification system as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates at all levels. Identification of the Robson groups that contribute the most to the overall CS is important to determine possible modifiable factors in our attempts to reduce the CS rate.

Background: Magnetic resonance-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (MR-TULSA) is a new focal therapy for treating localised prostate cancer that is associated with fewer adverse effects (AEs) compared with established treatments. To support large-scale clinical implementation, information about cost-effectiveness is required.

Objective: To evaluate the cost-utility of MR-TULSA compared with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and active surveillance (AS) for patients with low- to favourable intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer.
