Using a Functional Lumen Imaging Probe to Assess the Effect of Variable Myotomy Length During Poem and Heller
Ezra N Teitelbaum, MD, Nathaniel J Soper, MD, Eric S Hungness, MD. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. This video demonstrates the use of a functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) to evaluate esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility in real-time during operations for achalasia. FLIP is additionally used to test the physiologic effect of variable myotomy length […]

Laparoscopic Median Arcuate Ligament Release
Tatiana Hoyos, MD, John Stauffer, MD, Albert Hakaim, MD, Horacio Asbun, MD. Mayo Clinic, Florida. Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare condition in which the median arcuate ligament fibers from the diaphragm compress the celiac artery (CA). This is thought to be due to a low diaphragmatic insertion, a high celiac artery origin from […]

Management of severe stricture after sleeve gastrectomy: conversion to bypass
Raquel Gonzalez-Heredia, MD, PhD, Mario Masrur, MD, Enrique Elli, MD, FACS. University of Illinois at Chicago. Failure of the sleeve gastrectomy is frequently due to weight recidivism, intractable reflux, strictures, fistulas and malnutrition. One of the challenging situation is presented when sleeve is asociated to stenosis resulting to intractable reflux. Robotic technology way offer technical […]
Robotic Assisted Total Pancreatectomy and Autologous Islet Cell Transplantation: Potential Benefits of a Novel Technique
Amer H Zureikat, MD, Trang Nguyen, MD, David Bartlett, MD, Martin Wijkstrom, MD, Herbert Zeh, III, MD, Abhinav Humar, MD. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Reducing warm ischemic time can optimize islet cell yield in pancreatic islet cell autotransplantation following total pancreatectomy. Performing a total pancreatectomy without division of the pancreatic neck may also potentially […]
