  Effective control of haemostasis is critical to the success of any surgical procedure. Beyond minimizing intraoperative blood loss, it significantly reduces the risks associated with transfusions and postoperative complications. However, in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS)—such as laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures—haemostasis presents unique challenges due to restricted access, limited visibility, and anatomical complexity [1]. As surgical techniques continue to shift toward less invasive approaches, the need for effective, adaptable haemostatic solutions becomes increasingly critical—especially when conventional methods fall short. The Haemostatic Challenge in MIS Compared to open surgeries, MIS—such as laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures—offers numerous benefits like reduced recovery time and smaller scars. But the same factors that make MIS appealing also make bleeding control more difficult. Limited maneuverability, constrained visualization, and the absence of tact...

  As we approach World Health Day 2025, it’s a timely opportunity to reflect on the profound impact our daily choices have on our health. Have you ever stopped to think about how your daily choices shape your health and future? Prioritizing lifestyle choices, addressing the rising burden of lifestyle diseases, and advancing medical solutions are crucial to improving long-term health outcomes. The choices we make — whether it’s the food we eat, how active we are, or how we manage stress — play a crucial role in shaping our overall well-being. The Shift in Global Health Challenges Thanks to significant scientific and technological advancements, many infectious diseases that once took countless lives have been reduced or eliminated. However, with longer life expectancy comes a new set of challenges — non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as lifestyle diseases. These diseases are intricately linked to modern habits, such as poor eating, lack of physical activity, smoking, and ex...

  Anorectal disorders significantly impact an individual’s quality of life, affecting the anus and rectum. Among the most common anal and rectal disorders are hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and anal fistulas [1]. Of these, hemorrhoids are the most prevalent, affecting approximately 10 million people each year. In fact, more than 50% of the U.S. population over the age of 50 has experienced hemorrhoids at some point in their lives [2]. What Are Hemorrhoids? Hemorrhoids are normal submucosal venous structures in the lower rectum and anal canal that play a role in maintaining faecal continence. However, when they become swollen or inflamed, they can cause discomfort, itching, pain, and rectal bleeding. Types of Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids are categorized based on their location relative to the dentate line: Internal Hemorrhoids : Located above the dentate line, these hemorrhoids are often painless but may cause bleeding during bowel movements. External Hemorrhoids : Found below the dentate l...
