“…The patient in this case was young, and laparoscopic surgery is associated with better cosmetic outcomes, as the smaller incisions result in less scarring compared with open surgery. 16 On the basis of these findings, we highly recommend laparoscopic appendectomy to remove retained mercury in similar cases. 3 For several reasons, we performed abdominal CT in this case rather than abdominal ultrasonography to identify mercury impaction in the appendix.…”

Elemental mercury impaction in the appendix can cause subsequent local and systemic complications. We present a case of a teenage boy who ingested approximately 10 mL of elemental mercury, resulting in residual mercury sequestration in the appendix after conservative management. We performed laparoscopic appendectomy to remove the residual mercury. The patient made a complete clinical recovery without adverse events related to mercury poisoning over the 6-month follow-up. We highlight the advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy, abdominal computed tomography (CT), negative pressure operating rooms, and surgeon protection to improve surgical success rates. This case report adds to the literature on the management of elemental mercury impaction in the appendix and provides valuable insights for clinical decision-making.

“…Moreover, the absence of tactile feedback in laparoscopic procedures, relying primarily on visual and mechanical cues rather than direct touch, can be a notable consideration. To clarify, rather than an absolute absence, it would be more accurate to describe this as a reduction or minimization of tactile sensation, which may necessitate adaptation [ 7 , 8 ]. It is imperative to highlight scenarios where laparoscopy may face greater challenges.…”

“…This approach offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and improved cosmetic outcomes. The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery also leads to decreased blood loss and lower rates of complications such as infection and scarring [1,2]. However, despite its numerous benefits, laparoscopic surgery presents certain challenges that can impact patient outcomes.…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as transformative technologies in optimizing laparoscopic surgery, offering innovative solutions to enhance surgical precision, efficiency, and safety. This editorial explores the potential role of AI/ML across the surgical continuum, including preoperative optimization, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative care. It outlines the benefits of laparoscopic surgery compared to traditional open procedures and identifies current challenges such as technical difficulty and human error. The editorial discusses how AI and ML technologies can address these challenges, including patient selection and risk stratification, surgical planning and simulation, and personalized medicine approaches. Moreover, it examines the role of AI/ML in intraoperative assistance, such as instrument tracking and guidance, real-time tissue analysis, and the detection of potential complications. Postoperative care and follow-up are also explored, highlighting the potential of AI/ML in monitoring patient recovery, predicting and preventing complications, and tailoring rehabilitation plans. Ethical concerns surrounding data privacy and security, the lack of transparency in decision-making, potential job displacement, and regulatory frameworks are discussed as challenges to the widespread adoption of AI/ML in laparoscopic surgery. Finally, potential areas for further research and exploration are outlined, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for transparent and accountable AI systems. Overall, this editorial provides insights into the challenges and opportunities in harnessing AI/ML technologies to optimize laparoscopic surgery and improve patient outcomes.
