Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.

Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.

Major vessel invasion, particularly involving the portal and superior mesenteric veins, poses significant challenges during the radical resection of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. Oncovascular surgery is essential for curative outcomes, and often requires portomesenteric vein reconstruction. Techniques, such as lateral venorrhaphy, patch repair, end-to-end anastomosis, and interposition grafting, have been employed.

Introduction: In living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), vascular anastomosis is more difficult due to missing arterial patches and shorter renal veins. The surgical challenge is even more demanding in kidneys with multiple arteries. Although renal transplantation is feasible in most cases of complex donor vascular anatomy and similar results compared with standard LDKT are reported, the discussion on potentially increased complication rates and graft function continues.

Objective: Diffuse coronary artery disease remains a critical issue that heart surgeons continue to research in terms of treatment options. An alternative method applied during coronary bypass surgery to achieve complete revascularization is coronary artery endarterectomy. Since the reliability of this technique and its effects on mortality and morbidity are still debated in the literature.

A 71-year-old gentleman with prior bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement was admitted with aortic valve dehiscence and an aortic root abscess. He underwent reoperative sternotomy, aortic root, mitral valve, and hemiarch replacement. To augment hemostasis, we implanted the "Martin Mattress"-a pericardial patch sutured to the fibrous ridge within the innominate vein, superior vena cava, right atrium, right ventricular outflow tract, and pulmonary artery-which is preferred to modified Cabrol fistula techniques in infectious root pathology.
