During extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) decannulation, blood loss often occurs, leading to anemia and the need for blood transfusions. This article presents an improved ECMO pump-controlled blood reinfusion technique designed to address these challenges. The proposed method offers a simple and effective solution to minimize blood loss and reduce the need for additional blood transfusions during ECMO procedures. This technique significantly reduces blood loss and transfusion needs, offering a safer, more efficient approach to ECMO management in critical care.

Background: Robotic single-port transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) is an emerging minimally invasive approach that combines the advantages of robotic surgery with scarless transvaginal access. Its application in gynecologic oncology remains limited, particularly for omentectomy during ovarian cancer staging.
Methods: We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with an ovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT) who underwent supplemental staging surgery following unilateral oophorectomy.

Background: The liver cone unit (Tokyo 2020 terminology) of the peripheral portal vein territory represents the smallest anatomical and functional unit of the liver. While this unit enables anatomical, subsegmental resection, particularly in patients with cirrhosis, the tumor-bearing cone unit can be challenging to identify intraoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 58-year-old man with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) was diagnosed with a subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in segment 8.

A major cause of cancer death, colorectal cancer is becoming more common in younger people. The comparative effectiveness of robotic versus laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME) as surgical interventions for mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) remains uncertain. To systematically evaluate oncological, perioperative, and survival outcomes of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for mid-low rectal cancer following nCRT.

Background: The Stoppa approach was modified to manage fractures of the anterior column as an alternative to the ilioinguinal approach to reduce complications. A debate persists regarding the superiority of one approach over the other. Therefore, in the present study we performed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the following hypotheses: (1) Whether the modified Stoppa approach leads to reduced blood loss, (2) Whether the functional and radiological outcomes with the modified Stoppa approach are superior to those with the ilioinguinal approach, and (3) Whether the complication rates differ between the two approaches.

Objective: This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of single-port versus multi-port laparoscopic surgery in pediatric inguinal hernia repair through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted up to December 2024. Studies comparing single-port and multi-port laparoscopic surgery in pediatric inguinal hernia patients were included.
