The advent of the laparoscopic revolution and the wider applicability of laparoscopic procedures has caused surgeons to re-think the dynamics of intraoperative problem-solving. Problems of body habitus, previous surgery, exposure, bleeding, and anesthesia, as well as the problem cholangiogram, require new and innovative approaches, a practical approach to each of these common laparoscopic problems is presented.

A review of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage and gastroenterostomy: assisted approaches and comparison with alternative techniques.
Therap Adv Gastroenterol
December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36, Sanhao Street, Shenyang, Liaoning Province 110004, China.
Over the last 40 years, the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved from being diagnostic to therapeutic. EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) and EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) are emerging techniques in recent years; however, there are limited studies and inconsistent results regarding these techniques. In addition, EUS has become a more common alternative to traditional interventions due to its super minimally invasive nature, but the mobility of both the gallbladder and intestine makes it challenging to introduce stents.

Surg Endosc
September 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Introduction: From a surgeon's perspective, appendicitis is treated with appendectomy and sometimes a normal appendix is removed. This study aimed to investigate the patients' perspectives on having surgery but not appendicitis and their involvement in treatment decisions.
Methods: This study is reported according to the COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research (COREQ) guideline.
Obesity Management in Adults: A Review.
JAMA
November 2023
Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and Clinical Innovation, New York University Grossman School of Medicine, New York, New York.
Importance: Obesity affects approximately 42% of US adults and is associated with increased rates of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, osteoarthritis, and premature death.
Observations: A body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater is commonly used to define overweight, and a BMI of 30 or greater to define obesity, with lower thresholds for Asian populations (BMI ≥25-27.5), although use of BMI alone is not recommended to determine individual risk.
Importance of oxygen tension in human ovarian tissue in vitro culture.
Hum Reprod
August 2023
Gynecology Research Unit, Institut de Recherche Expérimentale et Clinique, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium.
Study Question: Is there any difference between 20% and 5% oxygen (O2) tension in vitro culture (IVC) on the viability and quality of human follicles contained in cultured ovarian cortex?
Summary Answer: An O2 tension of 5% yields higher follicle viability and quality than does 20% O2 tension after 6 days of IVC.
What Is Known Already: The primordial follicle (PMF) pool resides within the ovarian cortex, where the in vivo O2 tension ranges between 2% and 8%. Some studies suggest that lowering O2 tension to physiological levels may improve in vitro follicle quality rates.
REMOTE ASYNCHRONOUS FEEDBACK FOR UNSUPERVISED LAPAROSCOPIC TRAINING: THE "LAPP" PLATFORM.

Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Experimental Surgery and Simulation Center, Department of Digestive Surgery, School of Medicine - Santiago, Chile.
Background: The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over traditional open surgery have changed the surgical education paradigm in the past 20 years. Among its benefits are an improvement in clinical outcomes and patient safety, becoming the standard in many surgical procedures. However, it encompasses an additional challenge due to the complexity to achieve the desired competency level.
