Surgical recording has become very important for digestive surgery skill training in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to high quality recordings, the directions of vantage points are also important. To assist our vantage point for our camera, we frequently use a laser pointer to increase accuracy in the shooting range.
We recorded surgery more than 2h with a fixed top-mounted Panasonic HC-V770 camcorder and otherwise with an action-cam Sony FDR. We installed a laser Pointer TaffLED Tactical Red Dot Laser Gun Picatinny Mount Airsoft Rifle HJ 11. We compared focus field video recordings with and without laser pointer guiding. We divided them into four groups head mounted with, head mounted without, top mounted with and top mounted without. We recorded a total of five digestive surgery cases of superficial, visceral, and deep visceral procedures for each group after adjusting the laser pointer direction to the center of the cameras' focus.
The laser pointer on camcorder Panasonic HC-V770 can assist recording on operation fields to prevent the field of view from being blocked by movement of an object compared to either camera without laser pointer. The head mounted Sony FDR-X3000 action-cam can easily depict surgeon's eye while recording and be controlled by the slightest movement of the surgeon's head by tracking with a red dot.
From either mounting, the laser pointer aided in focusing the surgical field of view and could increase visibility for surgical recording.

The incidence is 0.015% out of all gastrointestinal lymphomas; furthermore, limited data is available in literature. The appendiceal neoplasms are most commonly presented as acute appendicitis followed intestinal obstruction, intussusception or perforation. We present a case of a 22 year-old male patient who presented with acute appenditis and underwent emergency laparotomy. On abdominal exploration, swollen and enlarged appendix measured 3cm was present for which appendectomy were performed. The histopathological examination of appendectomy specimen revealed a Burkitt's Lymphoma. The patient received R-COPADEM protocol of chemotherapy. Primary gastrointestinal lymphoma is a extremely rare neoplasm without guidelines for therapy.Hepatic cystadenoma is an urgent problem due to the high risk of malignant transformation. There are both radical and minimally invasive methods of treatment. We present a clinical case describing the successful use of microwave ablation (MWA) in a 72-year-old woman with hepatic cystadenoma. The patient was admitted to the clinic with abdominal discomfort, dull pain in the right hypochondrium, and weight loss of 10 kg during the previous year. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/oicr-9429.html The patient had a past medical history of liver cyst in segment VII. Ultrasound scanning, computed tomography (CT) of abdominal organs detected an increase in the size of the cyst, heterogeneity of its structure; the contrast enhancement was noted in the cyst wall. We suspected hepatic cystadenoma in segment VII and performed cyst puncture under ultrasound control - the obtained fluid revealed the presence of cylindrical epithelial cells, mucin, and macrophages in large quantities, high telomerase activity, CA 19-9 levels were greater than 1000 U/mL. Surgery was accomplished using the MWA catheter. Biological and cytological examination of the fluid confirmed the presence of signs of liver cystadenoma with a high malignancy risk. On the 2nd day after surgery ultrasound imaging of the abdomen revealed the residual cavity of 2 × 1 cm in segment VII. The patient was discharged with recommendations to conduct ultrasound examinations every six months. The control CT scan in 2020 showed no focal or cystic formations in the liver. In what way, MWA under control of ultrasound is a promising method of biliary cystadenoma treatment with high malignancy risk.
Cystic lymphangioma is a benign tumor originating from the lymph vessels. It commonly occurs in childhood, in the head or neck regions. However, abdominal Cystic lymphangioma is extremely rare in adult patients and often asymptomatic. Considering abdominal space, it may attain huge sizes whilst causing minimal symptoms. Due to this insidious presentation, these tumors become massive and can be diagnosed late at the complication stage.
This case report describes a rare and exceptional case of giant cystic lymphangioma of the stomach presented with a perforation in the abdominal cavity. The diagnosis was suspected following an abdominal CT scan, but could not confirm that the lesion was derived from the stomach. Therefore, an exploratory laparotomy found a multi-cystic mass occupying most of the abdominal space, adherent to the small gastric curvature and without delimitation line. This mass presents a small perforation responsible for an ascites of medium abundance. Then, the patient underwent a subtotal gastrectomy removing the entire cystic mass. Pathological analysis of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the stomach.The postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged after 6 days. At the 3-month follow-up, the patient was in good health.
The cystic lymphangioma of the stomach is rare and exceptionally described in the literature. However, if this tumor is benign, it has the potential to grow, invade vital structures, and develop life-threatening complications.
We stress the importance of complete surgical excision to prevent cyst complications and to reduce the recurrence risk.

This study represents a prospective, multicenter, open-label study to assess the safety, performance, and outcomes of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB, Phasix™) mesh for primary ventral, primary incisional, or multiply-recurrent hernia in subjects at risk for complications. This study reports 3-year clinical outcomes.
P4HB mesh was implanted in 121 patients via retrorectus or onlay technique. Physical exam and/or quality of life surveys were completed at 1, 3, 6,12, 18, 24, and 36 months, with 5-year (60-month) follow-up ongoing.
A total of n=121 patients were implanted with P4HB mesh (n=75 (62%) female) with a mean age of 54.7±12.0 years and mean BMI of 32.2±4.5kg/m
(±standard deviation). Comorbidities included obesity (78.5%), active smokers (23.1%), COPD (28.1%), diabetes mellitus (33.1%), immunosuppression (8.3%), coronary artery disease (21.5%), chronic corticosteroid use (5.0%), hypo-albuminemia (2.5%), advanced age (5.0%), and renal insufficiency (0.8%). Hernias were repaired via retrorectus (n=45, 37.
