ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The guidelines recommend laparoscopic repair for bilateral inguinal hernia. However, few studies compare the totally extraperitoneal (TEP) and transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) techniques in bilateral inguinal hernias. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of TEP and TAPP in bilateral inguinal hernia. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients operated on for bilateral inguinal hernia by TEP and TAPP repair from 2016 to 2020. Intraoperative complications, operative time, acute postoperative pain, hospital stay, postoperative complications, chronic inguinal pain, and recurrence were compared. RESULTS: A total of 155 patients were included in the study. TEP was performed in 71 patients (46%) and TAPP in 84 patients (54%). The mean operative time was longer in the TAPP group than in the TEP group (107 min vs. 82 min, p < 0.001). The conversion rate to open surgery was higher in the TEP group than in the TAPP group (8.5% vs. 0%, p = 0.008). The mean hospital stay was longer in the TAPP group than in the TEP group (p < 0.001). We did not observe significant differences in the proportion of postoperative complications (p = 0.672), postoperative pain at 24 h (p = 0.851), chronic groin pain (p = 0.593), and recurrence (p = 0.471). We did not observe an association between the choice of surgical technique (TEP vs. TAPP) with conversion rate, operative time, hospital stay, postoperative complications, chronic inguinal pain, or hernia recurrence when performing a multivariable analysis adjusted for the male sex, age, BMI, ASA, recurrent hernia repair, surgeon, and hernia size > 3cm. CONCLUSIONS: Bilateral inguinal hernia repair by TEP and TAP presented similar outcomes in our study.

Introducción: La lesión de vía biliar continúa siendo una de las complicaciones más graves tras la colecistectomía. El objetivo de este estudio es mostrar una técnica sencilla para la administración del verde de indocianina intravesicular, consiguiendo una visión crítica óptima durante la colecistectomía laparoscópica. Métodos: Se estudiaron prospectivamente 23 pacientes con administración intravesicular de verde de indocianina con aguja fina utilizando una técnica fácilmente reproducible. Resultados: Se reportó la visión de las estructuras biliares antes y después de su administración. La visión crítica de seguridad se consiguió en todos los casos. Conclusiones: La administración intravesicular de verde indocianina mediante la técnica que describimos es sencilla, efectiva y consigue una colangiografía por fluorescencia en tiempo real y una visión crítica de seguridad óptima, disminuyendo así el riesgo de lesión biliar.

Introduction: Bile duct injury is one of the most severe complications after cholecystectomy. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how with a simple technique, an optimal critical view may be achieved by injecting indocyanine green directly into the gallbladder. Methods: Twenty-three patients were prospectively studied in which direct gallbladder injection of indocyanine green during laparoscopy was administered with a fine needle using an easily reproducible technique. Results: Biliary tree identification was reported before and after injection. Critical view of safety was achieved in all cases. Conclusions: Our technique of direct gallbladder injection of indocyanine green is simple, efficient and shows a real time fluorescent cholangiography and an optimal critical view of safety decreasing the risk for bile duct injury.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Adrenocortical carcinomas are rare and aggressive tumors. The recently described oncocytic subtype has been reported approximately 40 times in the literature.1 In this video, we describe an unusual case of a large adrenal oncocytic carcinoma, its minimally invasive approach, and its anatomopathological features. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 43-year-old male presented to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain and fever. Blood tests showed 20,000 white blood cells and a reactive C-protein of 25. Tomography showed a large right adrenal tumor with necrosis. Antibiotics were started at the intensive care unit. A complete study showed normal tests, including hormones, cortisol, and metanephrines. At the multidisciplinary team meeting it was decided to perform a right transabdominal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The tumor was approached from the medial side to the lateral side, always controlling the inferior vena cava. Indocyanine green was used to identify vascular structures. Anatomical pathology revealed a 15 cm lesion corresponding to a malignant adrenal oncocytic carcinoma according to the modified Lin-Weis-Bisceglia criteria.2 The patient was discharged without complications on the fifth day. He is receiving mitotane and is disease-free 5 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Oncocytic subtype is a rare entity described only a few times in the literature. Surgical treatment is of choice due to its curative potential, and the open versus laparoscopic approach will be chosen depending on the size of the tumor and the surgeon's experience. It is believed that this subtype may have a less aggressive behavior than the typical adrenal carcinoma,1 therefore its better understanding may help to define therapeutic decisions and prognosis in the future.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy by 3 or 4 trocars is a well-established procedure. This report describes the initial experience with single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) using the transperitoneal approach for left adrenalectomy. METHODS: Between April 2010 and January 2013, all consecutive patients with adrenal masses who agreed to undergo SILS adrenalectomy were included in a prospective study. The left 2.5 cm subcostal incision was the sole point of entry. Data of patients undergoing SILS adrenalectomy were compared with those from an uncontrolled group of patients undergoing conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy during the same study period. RESULTS: There were 40 patients in each study group. SILS was successfully performed and none of the patients required conversion to an open procedure. In 1 case of SILS procedure, an additional lateral 5 mm port was needed for retraction of the kidney. The mean (SD) duration of the operation was 80 (20) minutes in the SILS group and 75 (8) minutes in the conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy group (P=0.150). No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Differences between the 2 study groups in postoperative pain, number of patients resuming oral intake within the first 24 hours, final pathologic diagnosis (Conn syndrome, Cushing adenomas, nonfunctioning adrenal tumors), and length of hospital stay were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: SILS left adrenalectomy is a technically feasible and safe procedure in carefully selected patients and seems to have results similar to a conventional approach in our initial comparison.
