With an incidence of 1% of all ectopic pregnancies, cervical ectopic pregnancy (CEP) is due to possible early misdiagnosis or bleeding and rupture can become a life-threatening condition with the need for urgent hysterectomy, which has been seen in clinical practice recently. We present a case of early diagnosed invasive CEP treated with combined minimally invasive procedure (MIP) due to acute pelvic pain and bleeding. In our case, we applied several of these methods to a primigravida with early invasive CEP with fertility preservation. By combining the self-described local medications with uterotonics and cervical anaemia treatment, intravenous tranexamic acid and MIP, we were able to preserve the uterus with minimal blood loss and the possibility of future conception.

The trend of minimally invasive surgery expands even into the most technically demanding areas, including HPB surgery. Faster recovery and elimination of surgical site infections achieved with a minimally invasive approach provides, in addition to a better quality of life, the possibility of starting adjuvant treatment earlier. However, evidence of non-inferiority of short-term and oncological results compared to open surgery is required. In minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that it as the method of choice for benign tumors and low-grade malignancies. For pancreatic cancer, the long-term results so far appear to be equivalent, although this still needs to be confirmed by ongoing randomized controlled trials (RCT). Enucleation of accessible lesions is also a suitable procedure for the minimally invasive approach. In contrast, in pancreaticoduodenectomy, available evidence does not demonstrate a clear benefit of the minimally invasive approach. Safety concerns still remain, and not even formal training has been successful in eliminating the consequences of the long learning curve for perioperative outcomes. Robotic approach appears to be more promising than laparoscopy for pancreaticoduodenectomy. Key words: pancreaticoduodenectomy distal pancreatectomy minimally invasive - laparoscopic robotic.

Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) and minimally invasive nonendoscopic thyroidectomy (MINET) represent well accepted and reproducible techniques developed with the main goal to improve cosmetic outcome, accelerate healing, and increase patient's comfort following thyroid surgery. Between 2007 and 2011, a prospective nonrandomized study of patients undergoing minimally invasive thyroid surgery was performed to compare advantages and disadvantages of the two different techniques. There were no significant differences in the length of incision to perform surgical procedures. Mean duration of hemithyroidectomy was comparable in both groups, but it was more time consuming to perform total thyroidectomy by MIVAT. There were more patients undergoing MIVAT procedures without active drainage in the postoperative course and we also could see a trend for less pain in the same group. This was paralleled by statistically significant decreased administration of both opiates and nonopiate analgesics. We encountered two cases of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsies in the MIVAT group only. MIVAT and MINET represent safe and feasible alternative to conventional thyroid surgery in selected cases and this prospective study has shown minimal differences between these two techniques.

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive esophagectomy is associated with lower postoperative morbidity and better quality of life compared to open esophagectomy in patients with comparable oncological outcomes. Robotic-assisted surgery represents the next step in the development of mini- mally invasive surgery. We aim to present the results of a pilot cohort of patients undergoing robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). METHODS: An initial cohort of patients with RAMIE was retrospectively analyzed. Operative characteristics, histopathological results, postoperative course, incidence of complications, and postoperative mortality were evaluated. RESULTS: From 3/2022 to 6/2023, a total of 31 patients underwent RAMIE at our institution, including hybrid RAMIE (robotic abdomen, open chest) in 11 and total RAMIE in 20 patients. Most patients were male, had locally advanced tumors, predominantly adenocarcinoma and neoadjuvant treat- ment. Thirty patients had Ivor-Lewis and one patient had McKeown esophagectomy. The median total operative time was 495 minutes and median blood loss was 200 mL. R0 resection was achieved in 87% of patients. A median of 26 lymph nodes were removed. Postoperative Clavien-Dindo ≥3 complications occurred in 9 (29%) patients. Four (13%) patients required reoperation. Anastomotic leak was found in 5 (16%) and pneumonia in 9 (29%) patients. The median hospital stay was 9 days. One patient died in the postoperative period. Thirty-day and 90-day mortality rates were 0% and 3.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our initial experience shows that RAMIE is a safe surgical procedure and we consider its implementation at our institution to be success- ful. After overcoming the learning curve, we hope to reduce the operative time and increase the medical benefit for the patient.

INTRODUCTION: Minimally-invasive surgical methods have been becoming ever more common also in the segment of pancreatic surgery. The aim of this paper was to analyze the current state of minimally-invasive surgery in the Czech Republic and the justification and potential of implementing such procedures. METHODS: Analysis of high volume centers using healthcare providers´ and payers´ data. RESULTS: Thirteen pancreatic surgical centers meet the proposed criteria for being called a high volume center - a center of highly specialized care in pancreatic surgery based on the annual number of at least 17 major resections of the pancreas. According to data from healthcare payers, laparoscopy was used in 0.6%-65.7% of procedures in individual centers. However, these are not resection procedures. The centers themselves report a significantly smaller number of minimally-invasive pancreatic resection procedures. The actual numbers of minimally-invasive resection procedures in the current system are practically impossible to verify. The potential for implementing minimally-invasive pancreatic surgery in the Czech Republic can be estimated based on the identification of candidate patients. CONCLUSION: Due to the fragmentation of this operative segment, its costs and small numbers of patients suitable for minimally-invasive pancreatic surgery even among high volume centers, the implementation rate of these methods is very slow. The need to centralize this segment of care appears to be very urgent from all points of view.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To compare laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) performed in two European tertiary centers using the classic optimal surgical definition - "MIC" - and a new optimal surgical definition: the "Novel TRIFECTA" (NT) concept. We sought to strengthen the PN evidence and to test the NT's performance. RECENT FINDINGS: The study population comprehended 505 cases of localized kidney cancer from two tertiary centers between 2012 and 2019. The NT achievement was higher in the RAPN group when compared to LPN (70.5 vs. 87.4%; p = 0.004), while no differences were found when considering the MIC criteria. Also, a similar high-grade complications rate (Clavien-Dindo > III) and operative time (105 min vs. 100 min; p = NS) were found. In the multivariable regression, the RAPN approach was a predictor of NT achievement (OR 2.45; p = 0.008). NT achievement was higher in the RAPN group, while similar results were found when evaluating the MIC criteria. The NT definition could be more sensitive to the individual-specific responses related to the PN.

Due to population aging in developed countries, it has become necessary to prepare a functional health care plan for the elderly. One of the possibilities to improve postoperative outcomes and recovery in elderly patients is to perform common surgical procedures in the regime of one-day surgery. We compared elderly patients who underwent surgery in a large university hospital with elderly patients who underwent surgery in a facility dedicated to one-day surgery. The homogeneity and clinical outcomes of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Complications were assessed according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. There were no statistically significant differences in demographic data and pre-operative risk assessment (ASA). The one-day surgery group had fewer complications and a shorter average hospital stay. Advanced age is not the only criterion for assessing the biological state of the patient and therefore does not always necessitate surgical care in a university hospital setting with a high volume of acute and complicated cases. Many elderly patients will benefit from a more individualized approach and healthcare facilities that specialize solely in elective procedures. When indicating elderly patients for one-day surgery, their health status is more important than their calendar age.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive radical trachelectomy has emerged as an alternative to open radical hysterectomy for patients with early-stage cervical cancer desiring future fertility. Recent data suggest worse oncologic outcomes after minimally invasive radical hysterectomy than after open radical hysterectomy in stage I cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare 4.5-year disease-free survival after open vs minimally invasive radical trachelectomy. STUDY DESIGN: This was a collaborative, international retrospective study (International Radical Trachelectomy Assessment Study) of patients treated during 2005-2017 at 18 centers in 12 countries. Eligible patients had squamous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous carcinoma; had a preoperative tumor size of ≤2 cm; and underwent open or minimally invasive (robotic or laparoscopic) radical trachelectomy with nodal assessment (pelvic lymphadenectomy and/or sentinel lymph node biopsy). The exclusion criteria included neoadjuvant chemotherapy or preoperative pelvic radiotherapy, previous lymphadenectomy or pelvic retroperitoneal surgery, pregnancy, stage IA1 disease with lymphovascular space invasion, aborted trachelectomy (conversion to radical hysterectomy), or vaginal approach. Surgical approach, indication, and adjuvant therapy regimen were at the discretion of the treating institution. A total of 715 patients were entered into the study database. However, 69 patients were excluded, leaving 646 in the analysis. Endpoints were the 4.5-year disease-free survival rate (primary), 4.5-year overall survival rate (secondary), and recurrence rate (secondary). Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate disease-free survival and overall survival. A post hoc weighted analysis was performed, comparing the recurrence rates between surgical approaches, with open surgery being considered as standard and minimally invasive surgery as experimental. RESULTS: Of 646 patients, 358 underwent open surgery, and 288 underwent minimally invasive surgery. The median (range) patient age was 32 (20-42) years for open surgery vs 31 (18-45) years for minimally invasive surgery (P=.11). Median (range) pathologic tumor size was 15 (0-31) mm for open surgery and 12 (0.8-40) mm for minimally invasive surgery (P=.33). The rates of pelvic nodal involvement were 5.3% (19 of 358 patients) for open surgery and 4.9% (14 of 288 patients) for minimally invasive surgery (P=.81). Median (range) follow-up time was 5.5 (0.20-16.70) years for open surgery and 3.1 years (0.02-11.10) years for minimally invasive surgery (P<.001). At 4.5 years, 17 of 358 patients (4.7%) with open surgery and 18 of 288 patients (6.2%) with minimally invasive surgery had recurrence (P=.40). The 4.5-year disease-free survival rates were 94.3% (95% confidence interval, 91.6-97.0) for open surgery and 91.5% (95% confidence interval, 87.6-95.6) for minimally invasive surgery (log-rank P=.37). Post hoc propensity score analysis of recurrence risk showed no difference between surgical approaches (P=.42). At 4.5 years, there were 6 disease-related deaths (open surgery, 3; minimally invasive surgery, 3) (log-rank P=.49). The 4.5-year overall survival rates were 99.2% (95% confidence interval, 97.6-99.7) for open surgery and 99.0% (95% confidence interval, 79.0-99.8) for minimally invasive surgery. CONCLUSION: The 4.5-year disease-free survival rates did not differ between open radical trachelectomy and minimally invasive radical trachelectomy. However, recurrence rates in each group were low. Ongoing prospective studies of conservative management of early-stage cervical cancer may help guide future management.

INTRODUCTION: Robotic mitral valve surgery has developed for more than 20 years. The main purpose of robotic assistance is to use multiwristed instruments for surgical endothoracic maneuvers on the mitral valve without opening the chest. The surgeon controls the instruments remotely from a console but is virtually immersed into the operative field. AREAS COVERED: This review outlines indications and contraindication for the procedure. Intra- and postoperative results as available in the literature are reported. Further areas focus on the technological development, advances in surgical techniques, training methods, and learning curves. Finally we give an outlook on the potential future of this operation. EXPERT OPINION: Robotic assistance allows for the surgically least invasive form of mitral valve operations. All variations of robotic mitral valve repair and replacement are feasible and indications have recently been broadened. Improved dexterity of instrumentation, 3D and HD vision, introduction of a robotic left atrial retractor, and adjunct technology enable most complex forms of minimally invasive mitral valve interventions through ports on the patient's right chest wall. Application of robotics results in significantly reduced surgical trauma while maintaining safety and outcome standards in mitral valve surgery.

During the minimally-invasive liver surgery, only the partial surface view of the liver is usually provided to the surgeon via the laparoscopic camera. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the actual position of the internal structures such as tumors and vessels from the pre-operative images. Nevertheless, such task can be highly challenging since during the intervention, the abdominal organs undergo important deformations due to the pneumoperitoneum, respiratory and cardiac motion and the interaction with the surgical tools. Therefore, a reliable automatic system for intra-operative guidance requires fast and reliable registration of the pre- and intra-operative data. In this paper we present a complete pipeline for the registration of pre-operative patient-specific image data to the sparse and incomplete intra-operative data. While the intra-operative data is represented by a point cloud extracted from the stereo-endoscopic images, the pre-operative data is used to reconstruct a biomechanical model which is necessary for accurate estimation of the position of the internal structures, considering the actual deformations. This model takes into account the patient-specific liver anatomy composed of parenchyma, vascularization and capsule, and is enriched with anatomical boundary conditions transferred from an atlas. The registration process employs the iterative closest point technique together with a penalty-based method. We perform a quantitative assessment based on the evaluation of the target registration error on synthetic data as well as a qualitative assessment on real patient data. We demonstrate that the proposed registration method provides good results in terms of both accuracy and robustness w.r.t. the quality of the intra-operative data.
