Article Abstract

This paper aimed to study the feasibility of a new laparoscopic castration technique in male dogs, evaluate the pain associated with it, and compare it with the classical orchiectomy. Surgical times, pain scores, blood and salivary cortisol, and CRP were recorded and compared between the two groups. The use of high-frequency bipolar forceps allowed quick and uneventful laparoscopic procedures. The laparoscopic group had significantly lower pain scores, cortisol, and PCR values than the orchiectomy group. No complications were seen in any group. Our results suggest that this laparoscopic castration is a safe and beneficial surgical alternative to traditional orchiectomy in dogs.

Background: Polyorchidism with cryptorchidism is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, particularly in children. Diagnosis and management are significantly more complex in low-middle-income countries (LMICs) due to resource limitations, including absent laparoscopy, increasing risks of torsion, malignancy, and infertility.

Case Presentation: An 8-year-old male from an LMIC presented with a non-palpable left testis.

Background: For patients with recurrent serous borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) who have undergone unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, there is a risk of reduced or even lost ovarian reserve after the second surgery; therefore, fertility preservation (FP) prior to re-operation in patients of childbearing age is challenging, and has attracted increasing attention. Here, we discuss the multidisciplinary whole-process management of a patient with recurrent serous BOT, from embryo cryopreservation (EC) before re-fertility-sparing surgery (re-FSS) to successful delivery.

Case Presentation: We describe the treatment of a 28-year-old married, nulliparous female with recurrent serous BOT who requested FP.

Background: Testicular torsion is defined as an acute scrotal emergency that occurs in adolescents. It requires intervention within 6 h to avoid necrosis due to ischemia of the testis caused by seminal torsion. The etiology of testicular torsion is mostly associated with anatomical abnormalities, such as pendulum malformation.

The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the efficacy and safety of lateral abdominal wall suspension during surgery compared with traditional procedures in patients with pelvic organ prolapse without uterine preservation. Collect the data of patients with uterine and vaginal wall prolapse who underwent surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. All patients were divided into three groups according to different surgical procedures: Study Group (laparoscopic total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy/oophorectomy + lateral abdominal wall suspension + posterior colporrhaphy), Control Group 1 (laparoscopic-assisted vaginal total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy/bilateral oophorectomy + anterior and posterior colporrhaphy), and Control Group 2 (vaginal total hysterectomy + anterior and posterior colporrhaphy).
