Introduction: We report a novel approach to open inguinal hernia repair in patients with known ascites in which the cord, hernia sac, and attached testicle on the affected side are repositioned into the retroperitoneum through the inguinal ring. By avoiding invasion of the peritoneum and limiting dissection of the sac off the spermatic cord, the risk of ascites leak and testicular ischemia is theoretically decreased.
Methodology: This is a retrospective case series report.

Introduction Anastomotic leakage (AL) following stoma closure is a significant complication that can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Identifying risk factors associated with AL is essential for improving surgical outcomes, especially in resource-limited settings like Yemen. Methods We conducted this retrospective study at Al-Thawra Modern General Hospital and the Republican Teaching Hospital Authority in Sana'a, Yemen, between August 2020 and April 2024.

Aim: Complete mesocolic excision (CME) is an oncologically driven technique for treating right colon cancer. While laparoscopic CME is technically demanding and has been associated with more complications, the robotic approach might reduce morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of stepwise implementation of robotic CME.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a major complication in colorectal surgery, particularly following rectal cancer surgery, necessitating effective prevention strategies. The increasing frequency of colorectal resections and anastomoses during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal carcinomatosis further complicates this issue owing to the diverse patient populations with varied tumor distributions and surgical complexities. This study aims to assess and compare AL incidence and associated risk factors across conventional colorectal cancer surgery (CRC), gastrointestinal CRS (GI-CRS), and ovarian CRS (OC-CRS), with a secondary focus on evaluating the role of protective ostomies.

Objective: This study aimed to assess postoperative intracranial pressure in patients with clinical and/or radiological features of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) undergoing endoscopic endonasal surgery for primary cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair.
Methods: Data was prospectively collected from 9 patients diagnosed with CSF nasal leaks who underwent corrective endonasal surgery between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Postoperative intracranial pressure was measured via lumbar puncture at least one month after surgery.
