    Abstract The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in China at the end of 2019 has become a pandemic infection that has now involved 200 countries with 465,915 confirmed cases and 21,031 confirmed deaths. Unfortunately, many data have shown that the high number of undocumented infections could have a major role in the rapid diffusion of the disease. In most of the nations involved, non-urgent, non-cancer procedures have been stopped to reallocate medical and paramedical staff to face the emergency. Moreover, concerns have been raised that minimally invasive surgery could be a procedure that carries the risk of virus diffusion in the operating theater during surgery. This paper reports clinical recommendations and scientific studies to assist clinicians in this field.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of the Laparoscopic Organ Suspension sec. Angioni, an innovative approach to transient organ suspension (OS) in laparoscopic gynecological procedures. Recognizing the need to enhance surgical site access and overcome limitations of existing organ retraction methods, the study investigates a novel, in-theatre constructed OS device.
    Design: This retrospective observational study was conducted from March 2019 to May 2021 and included 330 patients who underwent multiport or single-site-port laparoscopic surgery employing Angioni's Technique for transient pelvic organ suspension.
    Participants/materials, setting, methods: Participants included individuals undergoing surgery for conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, pelvic prolapse, and benign ovarian cysts. The Laparoscopic Organ Suspension sec. Angioni utilizes a segment of a Foley catheter connected to a Polyglactin suture to provide adjustable tension, minimizing the need for reconfiguration during surgery.
    Results: The application of this OS technique resulted in an average suspension time of 1.9 minutes, with no significant difference between senior and junior surgeons. The method proved more time-efficient for posterior peritoneum suspension than other published methods and showed no additional risks of organ damage, bleeding, conversion to laparotomy, or OS-related complications. The secondary outcomes revealed reduced hospital stays and minimal blood loss, highlighting the procedure's overall efficiency.
    Limitations: Given its retrospective and single-center nature, the study's results may not be widely generalizable. Prospective multicentric comparative studies are recommended to to further validate the Angioni's Technique.
    Conclusions: Laparoscopic Organ Suspension sec. Angioni is introduced as a straightforward, safe, and cost-effective method that significantly streamlines the surgical process. Its adaptability and ease of use suggest that it could be a valuable addition to current gynecological surgical practices, with potential implications for increasing efficiency and reducing procedural costs. Future studies are required to confirm these results across diverse clinical environments.

    Abstract Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas or myomas) are the most frequent benign tumors in women. Heavy menstrual bleeding with resultant anemia, dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, urinary symptoms and constipation are generally associated with uterine fibroids (UFs). Although strategies mainly resort to surgical intervention, medical treatments are considered the first-line treatment to preserve fertility and avoid surgery. The aim of this review is to offer available and the newest medical treatment options for symptomatic UFs. Various medical therapies are now available for women with uterine fibroids, although each therapy has its own advantages and disadvantages. Our topic specifically explores gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs and selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs), but also provides the reader with useful advice on the therapies for fibroids available after the recent European Medicines Agency (EMA) warning (EMA/160220/2020). The treatment options depend on the personal treatment objectives of the patients, in addition to treatment effectiveness and necessity for recurrent interventions.

    Abstract Objective: To describe a combined robotic and transanal technique used to treat ultralow rectal endometriosis in a 36-year-old patient with multiple pelvic compartments, which was responsible for infertility, dyspareunia, left sciatic pain, and severe dyschezia.
    Design: Surgical video article.
    Setting: The achievement of a perfect bowel anastomosis in patients with low rectal endometriosis could be challenging owing to technical and anatomic limitations [1]. By allowing a right angle rectotomy with a single-stapled anastomosis, the transanal transection single-stapled technique overcomes these technical difficulties ensuring a good-quality anastomosis with an easier correction of postoperative anastomotic leakage when it occurs [2,3].
    Interventions: The surgery starts by splitting the nodule in 3 components according to different anatomic structures involved (parametrium, vagina, and rectum). Parametrial and vaginal fragments are excised as previously described (Supplemental Videos 1) [4]. The rectal involvement is approached following several steps: isolation and cut of inferior mesenteric vessels (inferior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric vein) and left colic artery to obtain a proper colon mobilization; transanal rectotomy immediately below the lower limit of the nodule; extraction of the specimen through the anus (Supplemental Videos 2); proximal bowel segment transection 1 cm above the upper limit of the nodule; introduction of circular stapler anvil into the sigmoid colon; placement of 2 purse string to secure the anvil and at distal rectal cuff, respectively; connection of the anvil to the shoulder of circular stapler; stapler closing and firing with coloanal anastomosis formation; stapled line reinforcement by stitching; and integrity anastomosis test (Supplemental Videos 3). No preventive diverting stoma was performed in accordance with our policy [5].
    Conclusions: Although no data are yet available in patients with endometriosis, the use of transanal transection single-stapled technique may be an interesting approach in patients with very low rectal endometriosis involvement.

    Abstract Tubal factor is an important contributor to female infertility, and the current diagnostic approaches cannot correctly identify many subtle causes of tubal dysfunction. While it is known that the most common cause of tubal factor infertility is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), creating critical alterations of the tubal epithelium, little attention has been devoted to understanding the tubal modifications caused by the resident microbial population and their interaction with the surrounding tubal epithelium. Furthermore, most of these samples are obtained by traumatic procedures such as direct sampling during laparoscopy using a cytobrush. However, as in any other organ of the female genital tract, the microbiota environment of the fallopian tube plays an essential role in maintaining tubal functioning, counteracting the pathogenic effect of acquired microbes. Consequentially, to better analyze the tubal microbiota without causing anatomical and/or functional alteration of the fallopian tube and preserving fertility, the hysteroscopic approach might be the method of choice, guarantying maximal integrity of the uterine cavity and tubal lumen. Here we describe our plan for using atraumatic hysteroscopic sampling methods to investigate the correlation between tubal microbiota and female infertility.
