When Enzymes Mislead: Assessing the Value of MRCP in Suspected Choledocholithiasis
ABSTRACT Background The diagnosis of choledocholithiasis (CDL) requires balancing timely intervention against the risks of unnecessary invasive procedures. Although liver function tests (LFTs) are widely used for risk stratification, their static values and short‐term trends remain poorly defined in predicting persistent common bile duct stones.

Spider surgical system versus multiport laparoscopic surgery. Performance comparison on a surgical simulator [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The rising interest towards minimally invasive surgery has led to the introduction of laparo-endoscopic single site (LESS) surgery as the natural evolution of conventional multiport laparoscopy.

ABSTRACT Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the gold‐standard treatment for benign gallbladder disease but carries a higher risk of bile duct injury than the open approach, largely due to misidentification of critical hepatobiliary structures.

Predicting Respiratory Complications for Day Case Paediatric Adenotonsillectomy
ABSTRACT Objectives To assess the effectiveness of a pre‐operative triaging model for paediatric adenotonsillectomy in identifying risk of early post‐operative respiratory complications, in order to propose an evidence‐based triaging model for day‐case paediatric adenotonsillectomy.

ABSTRACT Background Minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic‐assisted surgeries, have revolutionized hernia repair by reducing recovery times and postoperative pain (1). Existing studies have explored general outcomes of robotic surgery, including shorter hospital stays and fewer complications (2).
