In the rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape, the shift towards advanced communication technologies marks a critical milestone. This transition promises to revolutionize connectivity by enabling seamless data downloads, high-quality video streaming, and instant access to applications. However, adapting to these advanced technologies poses significant challenges for infrastructure expansion, requiring innovative investment and deployment strategies. These strategies aim not only to enhance service quality but also to ensure extensive network coverage. To address the need for systematic planning in infrastructure investment, this paper presents a novel methodology that combines the Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) with cosine similarity analysis. This integrated approach effectively prioritizes service areas for the deployment of 5G technology, emphasizing the importance of detailed planning in mobile strategy development. By leveraging FUCOM to determine the weights of various criteria and employing cosine similarity analysis to rank service areas, the methodology facilitates efficient resource allocation and service quality enhancements. Empirical validation using real data from a Turkish telecommunications company confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results indicate that this integrated approach can significantly advance the telecommunications industry by providing essential insights for companies seeking to improve service quality amidst the transition to 5G and beyond. The successful implementation of the proposed algorithm demonstrates its effectiveness in addressing the challenges faced by telecommunications companies and underscores the importance of a data-driven approach in strategic decision-making and resource allocation. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the integrated FUCOM and cosine similarity analysis approach can offer a valuable tool for telecommunications companies worldwide, offering a systematic method for prioritizing infrastructure investments and enhancing network performance.

Objectives: To evaluate our clinical data on extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (eLRP) with 3 trocars. Materials and Methods: All consecutive low-risk and intermediate/high risk without lymphadenopathy prostate cancer patients undergoing eLRP with using just 3 trocars by single surgeon (Y.A.) between 2017 and 2018 were included. Clinical data including patients' demographics, intraoperative and postoperative data, complications, and follow-up were recorded and analysed. We are presenting a video of one such case of eLRP with simultaneously right inguinal hernia repair (total extraperitoneal repair) with using 3 trocars. Surgeon (Y.A.) performed modified surgical technique (Heilbronn technique) (1) for eLRP with 3 trocars. Results: There were 36 cases in total with mean follow-up was 8 ± 0.4 months. Mean age was 69 ± 4.1 years old (Table 1). Mean prostate specific antigen was 8.7 ± 2.1 ng/dl (Table 2). Mean operating time was 117 ± 18 min. and 22 cases (10 bilateral and extrafascial) were performed nerve-sparing eLRP. Mean estimated blood loss was 170 ± 80 ml. Mean hospitalization day was 2.7 ± 1 days. Mean catheter removal day was 8 ± 3 days. Surgical margin was negative for all cases with 3 complications (Clavien 2) without major complications. Twenty-seven (75%) patients were continent and 20 (%55.5) patients had erections. Conclusions: The first advantage of this initial series is using just one assistant holding laparoscopic optic with/without hand-eye coordination. Second one is to have similar functional and oncology results with traditional eLRP in the literature with fewer trocars. Indirectly, more cosmesis is third one, as our approach seems more minimally invasive than traditional eLRP.eLRP with simultaneously hernia repair is feasible, safe, and effective with using just 3 trocars in selected cases.
