Article Abstract
The Aim Of The Study: Was an evaluation of conversion causes and intraoperative difficulties in patients treated with laparoscopic surgery due to colorectal tumours on the basis of authors' own material.
Material And Methods: in the period 2009-2012 160 patients were operated on because of large bowel cancer, 79 women and 81 men. Average age of patients was 66 years. The conversion was recognized as desuflation of peritoneal cavity, trocars removal and making laparotomy.
Results: The conversion was made in 22 cases (13,7%). More in men (16.1%) than in women. The conversion was made twice as likely in T3 and T4 tumors than in T1 and T2.
Conclusions: The main cause of conversion in laparoscopic operations of colorectal cancer is local tumor progression.

Purpose: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA), which is increasingly used to improve surgical precision, can face adoption difficulties due to a learning curve marked by longer operating times. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve associated with the VELYS™ robot in five surgeons from the same centre with different annual arthroplasty volumes using navigated assistance with personalised alignment. The primary aim was to assess the learning curve for each surgeon.

Laryngocele is defined as the abnormal dilatation of the laryngeal saccule by air, and when it becomes infected, it is termed a laryngopyocele. Laryngopyoceles can present acutely with airway compromise and swallowing difficulties, along with other symptoms such as hoarseness and neck pain. A 78-year-old male with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presented with a progressively enlarging left-sided neck swelling over 30 years, recently associated with hoarseness, dysphagia, and respiratory distress.

Percutaneous pelvic screwing (PPS) enables fixation of traumatic or atraumatic fractures with little or no displacement, or displaced but reduced fractures, and preventive fixation of primary or secondary tumoral lesions. It is a relatively recent technique, and indications are evolving with progress in pre- and intra-operative imaging. Morbidity is lower than with open surgery.
