Laparoscopic surgery to remove a cage that migrated to the retroperitoneal space during posterior lumbar interbody fusion: A case report
DiscussionA cage that migrates during posterior lumbar interbody fusion can have serious consequences. In cases where the patient remains in stable condition, laparoscopic surgery is a useful and suitable method for removing the cage from the retroperitoneal space.

Successful laparoscopic treatment of advanced rectal cancer in an extremely elderly man (101  years and 9 months)
Abstract An extremely elderly man (age, 101 years and 9 months) visited our hospital because of recurrent and worsening anal bleeding. Type 2 rectal cancer was found in his rectum during colonoscopy. He did not have any severe coexisting diseases and had not suffered any episodes of dementia. Laparoscopy‐assisted anterior resection combined with D2 lymph node dissection was performed with minimal bleeding. The operation time was 128 min. The patient suffered mild reflux pneumonia on postoperative day 6 and was administered additional antibiotics. He recovered within 2 days. He was discharged on postoperative day 17, ...

Robotic mitral valve plasty for mitral regurgitation after blunt chest trauma in Barlow's disease
Abstract We successfully treated a case of mitral regurgitation due to chest trauma in Barlow's disease. A 71‐year‐old man was admitted with severe mitral regurgitation after blunt compression of the chest by a heavy object 5 months earlier. Preoperative examination revealed wide chordae tendineae rupture and myxomatous changes to the bileaflets. Neo‐chordae reconstruction of the anterior mitral leaflet using loop technique, triangular resection of the posterior mitral leaflet, and ring annuloplasty was performed via surgical robot. Robotic mitral valve plasty for severe mitral regurgitation due to chest trauma in B...

Laparoendoscopic single ‐site surgery in inguinal hernia repair
Abstract Laparoendoscopic single‐site surgery (LESS) for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (IHR) offers the potential for excellent cosmetic outcomes and maximization of the inherent advantages of minimally invasive surgery. LESS IHR is associated with a steep learning curve, which is attributable to both the IHR technique itself and the single‐site technique. The technical obstacles in the single‐site technique may be mitigated by employing certain maneuvers and strategies that minimize clashing between instruments and improve freedom of movement. The current literature consistently points out the inherent challen...

Laparoscopic dissection of Merkel cell carcinoma recurrence at the pelvic lymph node
Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. It has a high propensity for recurrence and metastasis, and there is no clearly defined treatment. MCC recurrence at the pelvic lymph node has rarely been reported. Herein, we report a patient with pelvic lymph node recurrence of MCC that was dissected laparoscopically. Nine years before presenting to us, a 76‐year‐old male patient had been diagnosed with MCC, and since then, he had had two recurrences. The most recent recurrence—the third recurrence—involved a tumor that had been detected at the right pelvic lymph node, and MCC re...

Video ‐assisted thoracic surgery and jejunal reconstruction in a case of situs inversus totalis with esophageal cancer
Abstract A 78‐year‐old man with situs inversus totalis who had a previous history of distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer was referred to our hospital for treatment of esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed as cT2N0M0 and underwent video‐assisted thoracic surgery and open completion gastrectomy with jejunal reconstruction via the ante‐thoracic route. The postoperative period was uneventful except for transient palsy of the right recurrent laryngeal nerve. Based on a preoperative assessment of anatomical abnormality and an intraoperative adaptation to the mirror image of the standard procedure, video‐assisted esopha...
