Aim: This study explores the evolving landscape of gastrectomy procedures in Japan, based on nationwide surveys conducted in 2014 and 2021. It highlights changes in surgical approaches, including a growing focus on minimally invasive and function-preserving procedures, as well as the increasing consideration of postoperative quality of life (QOL).
Methods: Two nationwide questionnaire surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2021, targeting members of the Japanese Society for Gastro-surgical Pathophysiology.

The horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly, and its unique anatomical configuration and aberrant vasculature present significant surgical challenges, particularly in malignant conditions such as urothelial carcinoma. We report a case of robot-assisted right nephroureterectomy with the da Vinci Xi® Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) in a patient with right lower ureteral cancer associated with a horseshoe kidney.

Background: Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) accounts for 15-25% of chronic low back pain and often follows lumbar fusion. When conservative therapies fail, minimally invasive (MIS) SIJ fusion (SIJF) is indicated. The robot-assisted technique is feasible and safe, enhancing accuracy and reducing radiation exposure.

Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery has rapidly evolved in recent years. In addition to the laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), robot-assisted liver resection (RLR) is increasingly gaining in importance; however, although the robotic-assisted approach offers clinical benefits, particularly in complex procedures, it remains a matter of debate.
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the development, perioperative outcomes, key challenges, and insights from over 500 minimally invasive liver resections performed at a specialized high-volume center.
Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can result in intrathoracic displacement of the kidney, presenting anatomical challenges for robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN). Reports of RARN in such cases are scarce.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man with a history of right-sided CDH repair was referred for evaluation of an incidentally discovered right renal mass.
