Article Abstract
Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare barbed sutures (BS) and conventional sutures (CS) for vaginal cuff closure in total laparoscopic and robot-assisted hysterectomies, evaluating their impact on operative time, suture time, blood loss, postoperative complications, surgical site infections, and granulation tissue formation.
Data Sources: A comprehensive search of the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase was conducted, covering literature published from 2004 to June 2024.
Methods Of Study Selection: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including 24 studies comprising 4.593 women (2212 in the BS group and 2.381 in the CS group). Data were analyzed separately for laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures.
Tabulation, Integration, And Results: No significant differences were found in vaginal cuff dehiscence rates between BS and CS in both surgical approaches. In laparoscopic hysterectomies, BS significantly reduced operative time by 8.58 minutes (95% confidence interval [CI], -14.05 to -3.10), suture time by 4.9 minutes (95% CI, -7.16 to -2.65), and estimated blood loss by 5.42 mL (95% CI, -10.71 to -0.12). In robot-assisted hysterectomies, BS significantly reduced operative time (-37.82 minutes; 95% CI, -54.88 to -20.76) and granulation tissue formation (2.61% vs 11.29%, favoring BS; 95% CI, 0.18-1.23). No significant differences were observed in postoperative complications or surgical site infections for either approach.
Conclusion: BS are a safe and effective option for vaginal cuff closure in minimally invasive hysterectomies. They offer significant advantages in laparoscopic procedures by reducing operative time, suture time, and blood loss, whereas in robot-assisted surgeries, they shorten operative time and decrease granulation tissue formation. These findings support the use of BS as a reliable choice for optimizing surgical outcomes.

This study aims to systematically assess the therapeutic effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty in managing osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Previous studies have suggested that TiRobot-assisted techniques outperform conventional manual procedures in treating this condition, but relevant conclusions remain controversial. A thorough literature retrieval was carried out across 4 major databases: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

Background: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is used more commonly, but this surge is mostly based on observational data. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between MIPD and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) using data collected from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for RCTs comparing MIPD and OPD published before December 10, 2024.

Background And Objective: With obese individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) at early stages of life, hip resurfacing (HR) has emerged as an alternative to arthroplasty. The purpose is to conduct a short-term analysis on patients with obesity who underwent primary HR for OA compared to a benchmark control group of non-obese patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent HR from 2010 to 2021 were eligible for inclusion.

Aims: We sought to explore staff experience of a paediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing operative fixation and nonoperative treatment for displaced medial epicondyle fractures.
Methods: A total of 20 staff (eight surgeons and 12 research delivery staff) recruiting to the RCT in 18 NHS Trusts across the UK took part in a telephone/online qualitative interview. Interviews were informed by Heideggerian Phenomenology and thematic analysis.

Introduction: Crohn's disease (CD) often leads to complex anorectal complications, posing significant challenges in surgical management. Transperineal abdominoperineal resection (TpAPR) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to APR. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TpAPR compared to APR in patients with CD.
