Article Abstract
Background: Patients with obesity have a higher risk of trocar site hernia. The objective of the present study was to compare a standard suture passer versus the neoClose device for port site fascial closure in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Methods: This is a randomized, controlled trial with two parallel arms. Thirty five patients with BMI ≥ 35 kg/m and undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were randomized to each group. Port site fascial closure for trocars ≥ 10 mm was performed with the neoClose device in the study group and the standard suture passer in the control group. Primary outcomes were time required to complete closure and intensity of postoperative pain at the fascial closure sites. Secondary outcomes were intraabdominal needle depth and incidence of trocar site hernia.
Results: The use of the neoClose device resulted in shorter closure times (20.2 vs 30.0 s, p = 0.0002), less pain (0.3 vs 0.9, p = 0.002) at port closure sites, and decreased needle depth (3.3 cm vs 5.2 cm, p < 0.0001) compared to the standard suture passer. There was no trocar site hernia at the one-year follow-up in either group.
Conclusions: Use of the neoClose device resulted in faster fascial closure times, decreased intraoperative needle depth, and decreased postoperative abdominal pain at 1 week as compared to the standard suture passer. These data need to be confirmed on larger cohorts of patients with longer follow-up.

Background: The existing research data cannot fully prove the advantages of single-site Da Vinci robotic surgery (RSS) compared with single-site laparoscopic surgery (LESS) in the treatment of gynecological diseases.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness and cost of RSS and LESS in the treatment of gynecological diseases. To provide a theoretical basis for RSS to replace LESS in the treatment of gynecological diseases.

Background: Seymour fractures are a unique type of pediatric distal phalangeal fracture that can be easily misdiagnosed as a simple nail-bed injury or mallet finger. Because of this potential for misdiagnosis, clear communication with consulting physicians regarding physical examination findings, such as nail plate avulsion and radiographic findings, is necessary. Seymour fractures involve the open physis and the germinal matrix, which become interposed in the fracture site, increasing the likelihood of infection.

In recent years, the refinement and dissemination of minimally invasive techniques for the surgical management of intra-articular pathologies have gained considerable relevance within the therapeutic arsenal, chiefly owing to the reduced morbidity associated with such interventions. Despite these advantages, arthroscopic procedures are not devoid of risks, particularly because the insertion of trocars and instruments into the joint is frequently performed in a blind manner, thereby increasing the likelihood of inadvertent iatrogenic events and technical complications. In view of these limitations, the present investigation sought to undertake a tridimensional morphometric analysis based on computed tomography in order to define precise anatomical parameters for intra-articular access routes during arthroscopic interventions.

In recent years, common postoperative complications after esophagectomy have received increasing attention. However, the attention paid to rare complications, which often lead to serious consequences if they are not diagnosed in a timely manner, has not been sufficient. In this article, we present both the clinical and imaging features of rare complications following esophagectomy and strategies for their prevention and management.
