Curative resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) is typically carried out using open surgery. In the present study, we examined the safety (postoperative complication) and effectiveness (resection margin status and patient survival) of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for HC. This retrospective analysis included 158 patients receiving MIS for HC at 10 participating centers between December 2013 and November 2019. Patient demographics, surgical outcomes, and oncological outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical information obtained from 10 different clinical centers did not show any evident cohort-bias clustering. One hundred and twenty-six (79.7%) patients underwent LRHC, 12 (7.6%) patients underwent RARHC, conversion to an open procedure occurred in 20 (12.7%) patients. The operation time and estimated blood loss were 410.8 ± 128.9min and 477.8 ± 706.3mL, respectively. The surgical radicality of the 158 patients was R0, 129 (81.6%); R1, 20 (18.4%) and R2, 9 (5.7%). Grades I-II complications wpact of MISHC. Perforated peptic ulcer is a life-threatening condition. Traditional treatment is surgery. Esophageal perforations and anastomotic leakages can be treated with endoscopically placed covered stents and drainage. We have treated selected patients with a perforated duodenal ulcer with a partially covered stent. The aim of this study was to compare surgery with stent treatment for perforated duodenal ulcers in a multicenter randomized controlled trial. All patients presenting at the ER with abdominal pain, clinical signs of an upper G-I perforation, and free air on CT were approached for inclusion and randomized between surgical closure and stent treatment. Age, ASA score, operation time, complications, and hospital stay were recorded. Laparoscopy was performed in all patients to establish diagnosis. Surgical closure was performed using open or laparoscopic techniques. For stent treatment, a per-operative gastroscopy was performed and a partially covered stent was placed through the scope. Abdominal lavage waent treatment. Stent treatment together with laparoscopic lavage and drainage offers a safe alternative to traditional surgical closure in perforated duodenal ulcer. A larger sample size would be necessary to show non-inferiority regarding stent treatment. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is not without impact on surgeons' neck/shoulder/head and eyes. However, the mechanisms for concurrent symptoms are not clear. This study aims to examine the effect of visual impairments on physical symptoms and surgical performance among surgeons performing simulated surgical tasks using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) viewing modes. Gynaecologists with experience in laparoscopy performed four simulated surgical tasks in the 2D and 3D viewing modes. Visual parameters (accommodation, convergence and stereoacuity) were measured prior to commencement. Objective performance measures were derived from the laparoscopic tasks, and surgeons also self-reported their mental and physical workload using the NASA-TLX. In addition, perceived symptoms were measured using Visual Analogue Scales, the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire and the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire. Seventeen healthy gynaecologists participated in this study. There were significant relationy may be required to decrease physical symptoms and improve surgical performance. Learning curves describe the rate of performance improvements according to the surgeon's caseload, followed by a plateau where limited additional improvements are observed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve for robotic-assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair (rTAPP) for inguinal hernias in surgeons already experienced in laparoscopic TAPP. The study was approved by local ethic committee. Male patients undergoing rTAPP for inguinal hernia from October 2017 to De
