Surgical Clinic Unit I, Department of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics (DISC), Genoa University, Genoa, Italy.

Background And Objectives: To assess the safety and efficacy of single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SPLC) for the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis in different gallbladder pathologic conditions.

Methods: All patients who underwent SPLC in our department between October 1, 2017 and March 31, 2020 were registered consecutively in a prospective database. Patients' charts were retrospectively divided according to histological diagnosis: normal gallbladder (NG) (n = 13), chronic cholecystitis (CC) (n =47), and acute cholecystitis (AC) (n = 10).

Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic Sacrospinous Ligament Fixation in the treatment of moderate and severe pelvic organ prolapse.

Design: Patients were selected into this study on a voluntary basis to evaluate the short-term efficacy of this surgery by comparing the OP-Q scores before the operation, three months after the operation, and six months after the operation.

Setting And Patients: Evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety by a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of the 18 patients with POP-Q grade III-IV pelvic organ prolapse treated by the Department of Gynecology of Nanjing Medical University Affiliated Changzhou No. Read More

Here we report the perfusion culture of a multi-layered tissue composed of HepG2 cells (a human hepatoma line) in a pressure-driven microphysiological system (PD-MPS), which we developed previously as a multi-throughput perfusion culture platform. The perfusion culture of multi-layered tissue model was constructed by inserting a modified commercially available permeable membrane insert into the PD-MPS. HepG2 cells were layered on the membrane, and culture medium was perfused both through and below the membrane. Read More

Division of General, Minimally Invasive, and Robotic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, 60612, U.S.A.

Background: We aim to analyze the safety and feasibility of the DaVinci SP platform in general surgery.

Methods: A prospective series of robotic SP transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernia repairs (SP-TAPP) and cholecystectomies (SP-C) (off-label) were analyzed. Primary endpoints were safety and feasibility defined by the need for conversion and incidence of perioperative complications. Read More
