Article Abstract
Objective: To explore the criteria, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in pediatric neuroblastoma (NB).
Methods: A retrospective study of 87 patients with NB without image-defined risk factors (IDRFs) between December 2016 and January 2021 at Beijing Children's Hospital was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedure.
Results: Between the 87 patients, there were 54 (62.07%) cases in the open surgery group and 33 (37.93%) cases in the laparoscopic surgery group. There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding demographic characteristics, genomic and biological features, operating time or postoperative complications. However, in terms of intraoperative bleeding (p = 0.013) and the time to start postoperative feeding after surgery (p = 0.002), the laparoscopic group was obviously better than the open group. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the prognosis between the two groups, and no recurrence or death was observed.
Conclusion: For children with localized NB who have no IDRFs, laparoscopic surgery could be performed safely and effectively. Surgeons who are skilled in this can help children reduce surgical injuries, speed up postoperative recovery, and obtain the same prognosis as open surgery.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate surgeons' ergonomic satisfaction when using laparoscopic energy devices and to investigate how prolonged use affects muscle fatigue and surgical performance.
Methods: A two-part study, including a survey and a kinesiologic experiment, was conducted to compare 4 laparoscopic energy devices (D1-D4). Thirty surgeons completed a structured survey assessing ergonomic factors such as device weight, grip strength, handle design, comfort, and trigger location.

This study was conducted to investigate the techniques and complications of enlarged uterine extraction during minimally invasive surgery for uterine malignancy. The electronic medical record was queried for patients with uterine malignancy and enlarged uterus (≥ 250 g) who underwent primary hysterectomy with laparoscopic or robotic approach. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables.

Background: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.
Methods: In 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany.

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy is gaining success among surgeons also for the increasing use of robotic approach. Ideal candidates are patients with small, confined tumor and dilatated Wirsung duct which is a quite rare clinical conditions: in fact, most of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomies are performed for periampullary cancer, easy to remove but with soft pancreatic remnant and tiny Wirsung duct. The result is the technical challenge of the pancreatico-enteric reconstructions.
