Article Abstract
Single-insicion laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) represent the latest development in minimally invasive surgery and are used in a wide variety of operations, e.g. cholecystectomies. The proposed benefits are less surgical trauma, reduced post-operative pain, smaller risk of infection and hence a shortened hospital stay compared with conventional laparoscopy. So far, no randomised study has uniformly shown clear advantages of SILS or NOTES that could justify an implementation of these techniques as acceptable alternatives to conventional laparoscopy.

Objectives: To report outcomes of complete ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for horseshoe kidney (HSK) stones at a high-volume center and evaluate a novel technique (Needle-perc-assisted endoscopic surgery, NAES) for these patients.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all HSK stone patients who underwent PCNL at our institution over a 10-year period. The NAES technique was utilized during the most recent 4 years.

Obesity is closely linked to an increased incidence of several gynecological conditions and poses significant challenges to their surgical management. Among these, endometrial cancer stands out due to its high prevalence in patients with elevated body mass index, with nearly 60% of those requiring primary surgical treatment classified as obese or morbidly obese. The coexistence of multiple comorbidities in this population contributes to a heightened risk of perioperative and postoperative complications.

Background: Low-impact laparoscopy (LIL), a surgical protocol using mini-laparoscopic instruments and low-and-stable pneumoperitoneal pressure, was developed as a minimally invasive approach to mitigate local and systemic effects of laparoscopy. However, its real clinical impact is still poorly documented.
Objective: To evaluate LIL impact on the postoperative recovery quality 6 hours after laparoscopic hysterectomy (henceforth 6H postsurgery) compared to conventional laparoscopy.

Background And Objective: When performing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), compared with conventional ureteral access sheaths (UAS), flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANs) can reduce the number of lithotripsy sessions and increase the stone-free rate (SFR). They have been widely applied in flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL). Currently, ureteroscopic flexible ureteroscopes equipped with FANs are also showing remarkable outcomes in the treatment of large kidney stones.
