Aim: This study aimed to compare short- and long-term surgical outcomes between robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC), performed with concomitant total hysterectomy, in patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 167 women who underwent RSC (n = 113) or LSC (n = 54) with hysterectomy for uterine prolapse at Kawasaki Medical University between March 2020 and December 2024. Perioperative parameters, complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), and POP recurrence were assessed. The POP-Q was used for anatomical evaluation. Long-term outcomes such as recurrence, urinary incontinence, and mesh erosion were monitored over a median follow-up of 30 (RSC) and 52.5 (LSC) months.
Results: The patients in the RSC group were significantly younger and had a higher incidence of diabetes. RSC had longer operative times (median 175 min vs. 152 min; p < 0.01) but comparable blood loss, complication rates, and hospital stay. POP-Q showed greater cervical elevation in the RSC group at one month (p < 0.05). The long-term recurrence rate was low and similar between the groups (RSC, 2.7%; LSC, 3.7%; p = 0.71). Mesh erosion, urinary incontinence, and organ prolapse were rare and did not differ significantly between the groups.
Conclusions: RSC with concomitant hysterectomy is a safe and effective alternative to LSC with comparable short- and long-term outcomes. Despite longer operative times, RSC offers anatomical benefits without increasing the risk of postoperative complications or recurrence.

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.
Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Purpose: To report outcomes of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH).
Methods: Retrospective non-randomized study of eyes with SCH from two sites (1/1/2013-12/31/2022). The primary outcome was the 6-month change in visual acuity (VA).

Purpose: Breast cancer remains a significant public health challenge globally, as well as in India, where it is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females. Significant disparities in incidence, mortality, and access to health care across India's sociodemographically diverse population highlight the need for increased awareness, policy reform, and research.
Design: This review consolidates data from national cancer registries, global cancer databases, and institutional findings from a tertiary care center to examine the epidemiology, clinical challenges, and management gaps specific to India.

Objectives Background: Monocyte anisocytosis (monocyte distribution width [MDW]) has been previously validated to predict sepsis and outcome in patients presenting in the emergency department and mixed-population ICUs. Determining sepsis in a critically ill surgical/trauma population is often difficult due to concomitant inflammation and stress. We examined whether MDW could identify sepsis among patients admitted to a surgical/trauma ICU and predict clinical outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term functional and anatomical outcomes in patients with tractional lamellar macular holes who were managed without surgical intervention.
Methods: 63 eyes previously diagnosed with tractional lamellar macular hole between July 1, 2009 and January 30, 2024 without any surgical interventions were enrolled. The change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), lamellar hole diameter, central retinal thickness (CRT) on Optical coherence tomography (OCT), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) areas on OCT angiography, and M-chart scores between initial and final visit were assessed.
