Article Abstract
Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is an important option to prevent the development of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers in women with a BRCA1/2 mutation. Conventional laparoscopy is the current preferred technique since it is associated with less morbidity compared to laparotomy. Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a new minimally invasive technique that allows access to the peritoneal cavity through the vagina without skin incisions. The vNOTES technique for risk-reducing BSO is presented herein. This article includes a narrated, step-by-step video demonstration of the entire procedure. Risk-reducing BSO using the vNOTES approach is a feasible technique that appears to be simple, safe, and reproducible. This technique has the potential to improve patients' surgical experience and provide good long-term functional and cosmetics outcomes. This technique needs to be further evaluated and compared to the conventional laparoscopic approach.

Three-dimensional (3D) guided robotic-assisted thoracic surgery is increasingly recognized as the pioneering approach for the most complex of pulmonary resections, offering high-definition 3D visualization, enhanced instrument augmentation and tremor-free tissue articulation. Compared with open thoracotomy, the robotic platform is associated with reduced peri-operative morbidity, shorter hospital admissions and faster patient recovery. However, sublobar resections such as segmentectomies remain anatomically and technically demanding, particularly in the context of resecting multiple segments, as showcased in this right S1 and S2 segmentectomy.

Background: Arthritis affects millions of people worldwide; however, its mismanagement remains a growing global challenge, resulting in reduced quality of life (QoL) and disability. Digital health (DH), including smartphones, could be the key to solving this problem. Specific evidence-based reviews on the use of DH in this context are lacking.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following anatomic lung resection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite its frequency, there remains limited consensus on optimal pharmacologic management in this population, particularly in the context of balancing efficacy with the unique risks associated with thoracic surgery. This report aims to draw attention to the clinical significance of POAF in thoracic surgery, particularly following pulmonary resections, by presenting a representative case and contextualizing it through a focused review of current literature and consensus guidelines.
