Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic and open abdominal lymph node dissection using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis.
Methods: The subjects of this retrospective analysis were 459 patients who underwent curative resection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) between May, 2005 and December, 2019, at our hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: the Laparoscopic (Lap group) and the Open (Open group). Post-PSM, 139 patients from each group were selected for the analysis to compare the short- and long-term outcomes between the groups.
Results: The Lap group experienced fewer Clavien-Dindo (CD) Grade ≥ 2 complications (28.1% vs. 40.3%, P = 0.04) and lower rates of abdominal surgical site infections (SSI) (2.9% vs. 7.9%, P = 0.02) than the Open group. The number of lymph nodes harvested was similar in the Lap and Open groups (14.8 ± 7.5 vs. 15.7 ± 8.6, P = 0.34). There was no significant difference in 3-year overall survival rates (81.2% vs. 69.5%, P = 0.12) or relapse-free survival rates (61.1% vs. 58.2%, P = 0.54) between the groups.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic abdominal lymph node dissection for ESCC can be performed safely and appears to be beneficial.

Objective: The role of sentinel lymph node dissection in the surgical management of endometrial cancer limited to the uterus is gaining recognition. The safety and applicability of two methods were assessed by examining the results of our patients in the identification of the sentinel lymph node during endometrial cancer surgery. The methods were robotic surgery, a critical component of minimally invasive surgery, and the vNOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery Technique), which has recently been introduced for malignant indications.

Background: The ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is the primary procedure during surgeries of the left colon, sigmoid colon, and rectal cancer. Despite the ongoing debate on high or low ligation of the IMA, high ligation (HL) is now preferred by most of the surgeons. However, there is still a lack of consistency in the exact position of HL among surgical videos or introductions presented by different teams, causing confusion to new learners.

A 4-year-old, 0.81 kg, female intact, American guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) was presented for a one-day history of perianal swelling. Physical examination revealed a body condition score of 2 out of 9, a distended abdomen that was painful on palpation, an abnormal vulvar conformation that was enlarged, edematous, ulcerated, and erythematous with adhered foreign material, and a 1 × 1 cm firm mass of the right mammary gland.

Background: Postoperative complications following esophageal surgery are severe, with respiratory complications being the most common. This study aims to evaluate the rate of respiratory complications and related factors post-esophagectomy and lymph node dissection for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Subjects And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to March 2024 on ESCC who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy and extended two-field lymph node dissection.
