Evaluation of the effect of 9.5/11.5-fr ureteral access sheath use on acute kidney injury with the myo-inositol oxygenase biomarker in patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery: a prospective, randomized, and controlled study
CONCLUSION: Even if UAS is not used, significant acute kidney injury is not observed under gravity irrigation and therefore, if we avoid manual pumping, the intrarenal pressure remains low, thus potentially rendering the use of 9,5/11,5-Fr UAS unnecessary.PMID:38651905 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2340730 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

From 3D to 2D-4K laparoscopic sacral colpopexy: are we addicted to technology?
CONCLUSION: The transition of urogynecology from an exclusive vaginal approach to 2D-3D-4K laparoscopy significantly increased the level of technology necessary for surgical treatment of prolapse. This could, as a result, lead to pelvic surgeons becoming increasingly dependent on technology.PMID:38648419 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2343855 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Partial splenic embolization with embosphere microspheres (700-900 µm) for the treatment of hypersplenism: comparison of selective superior splenic artery embolization and inferior splenic artery embolization
Conclusion: Using 500-700 µm microspheres for PSE, targeting the middle and superior splenic artery yields similar effects to targeting the middle and inferior artery, but results in lower rates of major complications and shorter hospital stays. To effectively minimize the risk of major complications, the embolization rate should be kept below 59.93%, regardless of the target vessel.PMID:38606756 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2339917 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Camera sheath with transformable head for minimally invasive surgical instruments
CONCLUSIONS: The presented camera sheath allows the delivery of the instrument and camera to the surgical site with minimal increase in port size. It may be applied to various surgeries to reduce invasiveness and provide additional visual information to the surgeons.PMID:38602475 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2335540 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)

Application of a laparoscopic device for cell-derived sheet transplantation on the liver in a porcine model
CONCLUSION: We confirmed the feasibility of a simple universal device to transplant cell-derived sheets via laparoscopic surgery. This device could support a minimally invasive procedure for sheet transplantation.PMID:38592474 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2024.2328610 (Source: Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies)
