Abstract 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 transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy for uterus ≥ 1 kilogram (kg). Methods: From January 2019 to March 2020, 39 patients with benign indications in cases of uterus weighing ≥ 1kg, underwent vNOTES hysterectomy were studied retrospectively. The patient demographics, indications for surgery, operation outcomes and patient follow-up details were recorded.Results: The mean age was 48 years (range 42-66); the mean BMI was 24 kg/m 2 (range 18.4-38); the mean operating time was 123.3 minutes (rang 40-400), mean estimated blood loss was 206.7 milliliters (range 10-1300); the mean uterus weight was 1141.8 gram (g) (range 1000-1720). The mean pain assessment was 2.1 (range 0-5). The mean length of stay was 2.4 nights (1-11). 1 patient experienced ureteral injury and was performed ureteral anastomosis. 3 patients were converted to vaginal-assisted trans-umbilicus single-port laparoscopy. The learning curve was analyzed to show that 20 cases were needed to achieve proficiency in vNOTES hysterectomy for large uterus ≥ 1 kg. Conclusion: Our preliminary experience suggested that vNOTES hysterectomy for large uterus weighing ≥ 1kg was feasible and safe, meanwhile this procedure had the advantages of all the minimal invasive approach such as fast recovery and aesthetic advantage.

OBJECTIVES: To implement a minimal invasive approach in cochlear implant surgery for children and adults. In order to decrease surgical complications and morbidity with the surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: During a 1-year period, 12 consecutive patients (5 female and 7 male; age range, 1.5 to 78 years; mean age, 14.5 years), who had cochlear implantation (1 Nucleus and 11 Clarion) through a new surgical approach, were prospectively evaluated. RESULTS: The surgical approach was accomplished in all the patients with no major complications. The mean surgical time was 3.2 hours and the mean time between surgery and process of programming was 2.7 weeks. CONCLUSION: The surgical trauma and postoperatory edema was decreased and allowed programming of the implant in a shorter period of time.

Stage T1

Renal cell carcinoma has become one of the most important indications for urological laparoscopic surgery. The laparoscopic technique combines the benefits of a minimal invasive approach with basic surgical principles. We report our experience with 52 procedures. Materials and methods Between June 2000 and December 2003 we performed 52 transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomies for clinical stage T1-T2 renal cell carcinoma. Median age of patients was 59 yrs (range 31–77 yrs). The mean tumor size was 5.4 cm (range 3–12 cm). Results In three patients (5.7%) conversion to open surgery was necessary. The mean operating time was 215 min (150–305 min). Post-operative hospitalization was 5.1 days (3–11 days). Median follow-up was 19.5 months (3–36 months). No cases of local recurrence or port metastasis occurred during observation. Conclusions In our center, a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach with the removal of intact specimens in endobags has become the standard treatment for stage T1-T2 N0 M0 renal cell carcinoma.

Thoracic Disc

Objective. Many surgical approaches have been defined and implemented in the last few decades for thoracic disc herniations. The endoscopic foraminal approach in foraminal, lateral, and far lateral disc hernias is a contemporary minimal invasive approach. This study was performed to show that the approach is possible using the microscope without an endoscope, and even the intervention on the discs within the spinal canal is possible by having access through the foramen.Methods.Forty-two cases with disc hernias in the medial of the pedicle were included in this study; surgeries were performed with transforaminal approach and microsurgically. Extraforaminal disc hernias were not included in the study. Access was made through the Kambin triangle, foramen was enlarged, and spinal canal was entered.Results.The procedure took 65 minutes in the average, and the mean bleeding amount was about 100cc. They were mobilized within the same day postoperatively. No complications were seen. Follow-up periods range between 5 and 84 months, and the mean follow-up period is 30.2 months.Conclusion.Transforaminal microdiscectomy is a method that can be performed in any clinic with standard spinal surgery equipment. It does not require additional equipment or high costs.

Endoscopic Tympanoplasty

Tympanoplasty is one of the most performed procedures in ENT. The aggressiveness of its microscopic approach has led otologists to adopt the endoscopic approach as a less invasive alternative. The purpose of this work is to appreciate the advantages and disadvantages of this surgical technique. We conducted a prospective descriptive cross-sectional study on 20 interventions within the ENT department of August the 20th 1953 Hospital of Casablanca from April 2019 to June 2019. The average age of operated patients was 36.3 years. Perforations were unilateral in (71%) of the cases with a predominance of the anterior (29%) and subtotal (36%) locations. The tympanoplasties were performed by 3 different senior otologic surgeons, and were left in (57%). The mean operating time was (59.5 min) and the mean anesthesia duration was 75.1 min. Intraoperative vision allowed us to fully visualize the margins of all perforations (100%) and anatomical structures of the middle ear in almost all interventions. The first procedures carried out were filled with difficulties whose management of intraoperative bleeding was the main one in (42.8%) of the cases. (57%) procedures were described as easy. No complication was detected intraoperatively or immediately postoperatively. Endoscopic tympanoplasty has several advantages, including: Minimally invasive approach to the middle ear; panoramic perioperative vision; Gain of operating time; decrease in the duration of anesthesia; Valuable educational tool; postoperative comfort; Decrease in hospital stay and early return to daily activities; Better aesthetic rendering; cost and transportability. However, we also note a number of disadvantages of endoscopic tympanoplasty, particularly: performing the procedure with one hand; difficulty passing through the EAC; 2D vision that alters the perception of depth; management of intraoperative bleeding; fogging; learning curve.
