AbstractBackground:A laryngocoele is an abnormal dilatation of Morgagni's ventricle in direct communication with the laryngeal lumen. Surgical excision through a cervical approach is traditionally considered the treatment of choice for large (external and mixed) laryngocoeles. This paper describes the first reported case of a large mixed laryngocoele treated with transoral robotic surgery without cervical incisions.Method:A 69-year-old female underwent transoral robotic surgery for the excision of a large mixed left laryngocoele. The surgery was performed using the da Vinci S surgical robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, California, USA).Results:No complications were observed and the patient was discharged 2 days post-operation.Conclusion:Transoral robotic surgery enabled accurate dissection with complete removal of the large mixed laryngocoele via a minimally invasive approach. The advantages of transoral robotic surgery over other techniques for laryngocoele excision are discussed.

Abstract Dumbbell-shaped thoracic tumors usually involve the spinal canal and the posterior thoracic cavity. Gross total resection is the treatment of choice, but techniques for surgical excision remain controversial. An anterolateral transthoracic approach may remove the paravertebral component of the tumor, but has limited or no control of the intracanal lesion. A combined posteroanterior approach requires a 2-stage surgery with significant morbidity. The preferred approach depends mainly on the tumor location, size, shape, and its specific anatomical relationship with the surrounding vital structures. We present a surgical video of a single-stage posterior minimally invasive approach for the management of a thoracic dumbbell tumor.

Abstract Background Endometrial carcinoma is frequently diagnosed gynecologic neoplasm all over the world. Most often, women aged between 50 and 70 are affected by it. One third of the diagnosed patients pertain to a younger age group. The data of Bulgarian National Cancer Registry show that uterine body cancer accounts for 8,3% of all oncologic diseases of women. Methods 97 women with endometrial carcinoma, Ist stage, with clarified diagnosis for one year (2020) and already operated in UMHAT “Dr.G.Stranski”- Pleven, have been tested. 62 of these patients had undergone robotic surgery and 35 - conventional surgery. The immunologic parameters were tested before the surgical intervention, at the 3rd hour and on the 3rd day via Human ELISA-Diaclone. Statistic processing is with STATGRAF. Results The comparative survey between the robotic surgery patients and open surgery patients demonstrated that in the early post-operation period the open surgery patients had considerably increased serum cytokine level compared to the robotic surgery patients. The minimal invasive surgery demonstrates a reduced acute-phase response and a better preservation of cellular immune mechanisms compared to the open surgery. Conclusions The acceptance and implementation of mini-invasive surgical system Da Vinci in Bulgaria for treatment of endometrial carcinoma (Ist stage) reduces the cytokine explosion, decreases the post-surgical risk as well as the reanimation care days and hospital stay. Psychological stress and hospitalization time are reduced, quality of life is improved. Key messages Surveying the robotic surgery role in the treatment of women with endometrial carcinoma, Its stage via cytokine profile determination. Through Da Vinci, the hemorrhage and post-surgical complications are minimal, the psychological stress and hospital stay are reduced, the treatment cost is diminished and life quality is improved.
