The use of laparoscopy has become commonplace in urology over the past several years and will undoubtedly continue to grow. Although the morbidity and mortality of this minimally invasive technique are relatively low, the risks involved must be taken seriously. A thorough understanding of the potential complications allows one to anticipate these events and therefore reduces their likelihood. This paper will review the mechanisms of laparoscopic surgical complications throughout the entire realm of the laparoscopic case.

Objective: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (NSS) can be performed by mainly 2 methods, offclamp or on-clamp. Continuous bleeding during the off-clamp method may impair the clear visualization of the border between the tumor and parenchyma, even though it is done safely in experienced hands. Therefore, some surgical modifications may be needed during mass excision and renorraphy.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate underlying mechanisms of long-term effective weight loss after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and effects on the medial orbitofrontal cortex (mOFC) and cognition.
Methods: A total of 18 individuals with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m) underwent LSG. Clinical data, cognitive scores, and brain magnetic resonance imaging scans were evaluated before LSG and 12 months after LSG.

Exploratory laparotomies for blunt or penetrating trauma often result in significant morbidity. Despite advancements in resuscitation, surgical techniques, and antibiotics, intra-abdominal abscesses remain a serious complication, contributing to poor outcomes and extended hospital stays. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided drainage is the standard treatment for abscesses, offering high success rates and low morbidity.

Background: Intraoperative and postoperative biliary injuries remain significant complications of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE). Indocyanine green (ICG) has been shown to significantly reduce injuries caused by intraoperative operational errors. We found that the J-tube can reduce postoperative strictures and injuries to the common bile duct.

Background: According to statistics, the incidence of proximal gastric cancer has gradually increased in recent years, posing a serious threat to human health. Tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis are two relatively mature anti-reflux procedures. A comparison of these two surgical procedures, tubular gastroesophageal anastomosis and double-channel anastomosis, has rarely been reported.
