Study Objective: To compare the efficacy of laparoscopy versus microsurgery by laparotomy in the treatment of ovarian endometriomas.
Design: Retrospective study with historical controls.
Setting: A tertiary university hospital.
Patients: One hundred thirty-two women under 40 years of age with ovarian endometriotic cysts at least 3 cm in diameter (stage III and IV endometriosis, R-AFS classification). Interventions. A single surgeon (RM) treated 83 patients by laparoscopy for excision of ovarian endometriomas by the stripping technique and 49 by microsurgery at laparotomy.
Measurements And Main Results: Data regarding recurrence of ovarian cysts, symptomatic improvement, and reproductive outcome were comparable for the two groups. Postoperative febrile morbidity and length of hospitalization were significantly less for the laparoscopy group than for the laparotomy group (p <0.0005).
Conclusions: Operative laparoscopy for excision of ovarian endometrial cysts by the stripping technique is as effective as microsurgery by laparotomy. It is associated with less febrile morbidity and a shorter hospitalization.

Is it possible for a low-volume surgeon to enhance their surgical skills without performing actual surgeries by utilizing virtual reality headsets and emerging technologies? It has been observed that the time spent by surgical assistants in the operating room decreased after the post-shift leave regulation. In the literature, the use of virtual reality simulations as a support tool in surgical training is recommended. Although the efficacy of virtual reality surgical simulations in surgeries such as arthroscopy and laparoscopy has been proven, there are limited studies on their effect in open surgeries.

Background: Currently, there is limited scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of fluorescent cholangiography in emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The primary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRF-C) in different severity degrees of acute cholecystitis.
Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients with a clinical and radiological (abdominal ultrasound and/or computed tomography) diagnosis of acute cholecystitis based on the revised 2018 Tokyo guidelines who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 24-72 h from the onset of symptoms and patients with ASA score of 0-3.
ArtiSential versus conventional laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery: a multicenter retrospective matched cohort study.

Background: This study aims to compare outcomes of colorectal cancer surgeries performed using the newly developed articulating laparoscopic instrument, ArtiSential, with those using conventional non-articulating or rigid laparoscopic instruments.
Methods: This multicenter, retrospective, matched cohort study enrolled patients with colorectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic surgery in seven tertiary referral hospitals from January 2021 to October 2022. A 1:1 propensity score matching was performed between the articulating (Arti-LAP) and conventional (Rigid-LAP) laparoscopic groups.
Assessment of a novel unidirectional mid-term absorbable barbed suture versus a competitor barbed suture for vaginal cuff closure after gynaecology surgery, study protocol of a randomized controlled trial - BARHYSTER.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Krankenhaus Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany.
Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is nowadays the standard to treat benign and malignant disease occurring in the uterus, but the number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the handling of sutures in a bi- and tri-dimensional plane, a new type of suture material has been developed, named barbed sutures, which are in use in different indications. In comparison to conventional suture materials, the barbs anchor the suture in the tissue, provide tissue approximation and prevent slippage without the need for knot tying.
