Feasibility of transthoracic esophagectomy with a next-generation surgical robot.

Robot-assisted minimal access surgery (MAS), compared with conventional MAS, has shown a number of benefits across several therapeutic indications but its use for transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) requires further evaluation. Here, we report the first-in-human series of major esophageal resections performed using a next-generation tele-operated robotic surgical system in a single center. Robot-assisted TTE was performed using the Versius Surgical System by a single surgeon to assess the robotic system's ability to achieve tumor clearance (measured by R0 resection rates) whilst reducing anastomotic leakage rates.

Intensive Care in India in 2018-2019: The Second Indian Intensive Care Case Mix and Practice Patterns Study.

Background: We aimed to study organizational aspects, case mix, and practices in Indian intensive care units (ICUs) from 2018 to 2019, following the Indian Intensive Care Case Mix and Practice Patterns Study (INDICAPS) of 2010-2011.

Methods: An observational, 4-day point prevalence study was performed between 2018 and 2019. ICU, patient characteristics, and interventions were recorded for 24 hours, and ICU outcomes till 30 days after the study day.

Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium: A multicenter retrospective study.

Objective: To describe clinical and demographic characteristics, ultrasound appearance, and hysteroscopic outcomes of patients with endometrial osseous metaplasia.

Study Design: We conducted a multicenter retrospective study. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all consecutive patients who were referred for hysteroscopy at fourteen institutions in Venezuela, Spain, Morocco, India, Ukraine, Argentina, the United States, and Italy between 1994 and 2018.

Three Thousand Cases of Office Hysteroscopy: See and Treat an Indian Experience.

Study Objective: Assessment of feasibility of office hysteroscopy in Indian setting.

Design: Retrospective study design.

Setting: Tertiary care centre: Galaxy care Hospital, Pune, India.

Surgical pelvic anatomy in gynecologic oncology.

Laparoscopy, with its many advantages, has revolutionized the field of pelvic surgery and enabled surgeons to gain a far greater understanding of pelvic anatomy. As technology evolves, our understanding is continuously improving. This article is a tribute to the anatomy of the pelvis, which itself has resisted evolutionary changes and remained the same, whereas our understanding of how to view and approach various organ structures has evolved.

Laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy for ca stomach.

Gastric cancer remains an important cause of cancer-related deaths and a complete margin-negative (R0) resection remains the only potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma. We report a case of carcinoma of distal stomach in a 48-year-old male patient who was diagnosed on UGI endoscopy and CT scan. He had symptoms suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction due to stenosing lesion.
