BMC surgery

BACKGROUND: The main characteristics of the robotic surgical system include high-definition three-dimensional imaging, flexible and stable instruments, and an ergonomic console design. Incorporating robotic systems with laparoendoscopic sin…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to perform a review focused on the effects of dexamethasone on markers of surgical stress in the context of laparoscopic abdominal surgery. METHODS: This review was registered at PROSPERO. Published reports were evalua…

BACKGROUND: A new era in minimally invasive surgery has been ushered in by Leonardo's robot surgical system, but the safety and effectiveness in cervical cancer is lake of evidence. This study aimed to compare the safety, effectiveness, and…

BACKGROUND: Nonoperative management of uncomplicated appendicitis is currently being promoted as treatment option, albeit 0.7-2.5% of appendectomies performed due to suspected acute appendicitis show histologically malignant findings. The p…

OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of 5 Fr non-contact hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. METHODS: A total of 200 perimenopausal and postmenopausal pati…

BACKGROUND: Acute cholecystitis (AC) is an acute inflammatory disease of the gallbladder and one of the most frequent causes of acute abdominal pain. Early cholecystectomy is recommended for mild cholecystitis. However, the optimal surgical…

BACKGROUND: Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) has gained increasing attention due to the potential to maximize the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. This study aimed to compare outcomes of TU-LESS and multiport l…

BackgroundFor thirty years, the Harmonic scalpel has been used for precise dissection, sealing and transection. There are numerous meta-analyses on individual surgical procedures with Harmonic, but no overarching review covering all the are…

BackgroundThis study aimed to construct predictive models for the risk of sepsis in patients with Acute pancreatitis (AP) using machine learning methods and compared optimal one with the logistic regression (LR) model and scoring systems.Me…

BACKGROUND: This prospective randomized controlled study was designed to evaluate the effect of S-ketamine with sufentanil given intraoperatively and postoperatively on recovery of gastrointestinal (GI) function and postoperative pain in gy…

BackgroundThis study aims to assess the effectiveness of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosing cholecystolithiasis with cholecystitis in elderly patients. Additionally, the study seeks to determine the…

PURPOSE: Although hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed gynaecological surgeries, there is a dearth of evidence on perioperative care. The aim of the current study was to identify sociodemographic, surgical-related and work-r…

BACKGROUND: Appendix' anatomical variations are a rare occurrence which can mislead diagnosis and delay appropriate treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 9-year-old female patient that came with a clinical picture compatible with acut…

BACKGROUND: A diagnostic sign on magnetic resonance imaging, suggestive of posterior extrauterine adhesion (PEUA), was identified in patients with placenta previa. However, the clinical features or surgical outcomes of patients with placent…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the compatibility of robotic single-site (RSS) myomectomy in comparison with the conventional robotic multi-port (RMP) myomectomy to achieve successful surgical outcomes with reliability and reproduc…

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of surgery of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in post-menopausal women needs to be investigated. This study evaluated the clinical significance of cold-knife conization in the diagnosis and surgery o…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the use of a human fibrin glue (Tisseel) for minor bleeding control and approximation of ovarian defect during transvaginal natural orifice ovarian cystectomy (TNOOC) of benign and non-endometriotic ovarian tumors. …

BACKGROUND: An intro-abdominal hernia through the lesser omentum is a rare but severe condition that can cause intestinal obstruction and other life-threating complications. Until now, only a handful of cases have been reported worldwide. T…

BackgroundGardner syndrome is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), characterized by a combination of adenomatous intestinal polyps and extracolonic lesions such as multiple osteomas, dental abnormalities, and soft tissue tumor…

BACKGROUND: Cocoon abdomen is a relatively rare abdominal disease characterized by the total or partial encasement of the small intestinal by a dense fibro-collagenous membrane. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported an unusual case of idiopathic …

BACKGROUND: Small bowel volvulus is a rare entity and it is even rarer for the ileum to undergo torsion without any known predisposing factors. It presents as acute abdomen with features of intestinal obstruction. As it is a life-threatenin…

BACKGROUND: The transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) applied in gynecology has been developed recent years and been evolving. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effect of the vNOTES hyst…

BackgroundChronic pancreatitis is a progressive and persistent inflammatory disease resulting in pancreatic insufficiency leading to diabetes and steatorrhea. Abdominal pain is the most debilitating feature and is often refractory to treatm…

BACKGROUND: No data are available to assess the learning curve for transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic hysterectomy for non-prolapsed uteri in benign gynecologic diseases. The lack of exposure to transvaginal natural orific…

BACKGROUND: This clinical trial evaluated the performance of a newly released fast-absorbable braided synthetic suture (Novosyn® Quick) in adults and paediatric patients undergoing elective skin closures. METHODS: This was a prospective in…
