3d Vision Enhances Task Performance Independent of the Surgical Method

BackgroundDespite well-established advantages of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopy lacks of natural stereoscopic depth perception and spatial orientation. Therefore, these 2 parameters appear to represent mayor downsides of minimal-invasive surgery. Still, the importance and overall negative effect of this lack of natural stereoscopic depth perception and spatial orientation has not been clearly demonstrated. The aim of… Continue Reading

A Novel Approach to Laparoscopic-Assisted Transgastric ERCP After Roux En Y Gastric Bypass

Background: Since the advent of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP), an increasing number of patients with altered upper gastrointestinal tract anatomy require endoscope retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic access to the remnant stomach with laparoscopic assistance is a technique well-described in the literature. However, manipulation of the flexible gastroscope within the peritoneal cavity and gastric remnant… Continue Reading

A Novel Minimal Access Surgery Prototype for Rapid Diagnosis of Appendicitis in the Emergency Room

1. Introduction: Abdominal pain diagnosis when appendicitis is suspected is based on clinical findings. However, near half of these patients have atypical or equivocal presentation signs and symptoms. When the result of evaluation is unclear, diagnostic imaging alternatives are used; if unavailable, patients may be discharged undiagnosed. Every year in the U.S., near 100,000 patients… Continue Reading

A Novel Technique for Laparoscopic Placement of Lumboperitoneal Shunts

Background: Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts are effective in the treatment of intracranial hypertension but have traditionally been placed utilizing an open technique. This technique has been associated with migration of distal LP shunt catheters and can be especially difficult in the high proportion of obese patients, requiring a larger incision with greater associated morbidity and postoperative… Continue Reading

A Rigid Access Port for Transumbilical Surgery

Introduction: Several authors have reported laparoscopic procedures conducted through an umbilical incision, with the intention of further reducing trauma, hospitalization and recovery time compared to conventional laparoscopy. At least two access ports for such surgery are now available commercially, but developmental questions regarding the optimal design for this approach remain unanswered.Methods and Procedures: The authors’… Continue Reading

A Tertiary Centre Experience in Laparoscopic Repair of Primay and Recurrent Hiatus Hernia in 1125 Cases

Title: Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery for primary and recurrent hiatus hernia in a tertiary referral centre in 1125 casesMethod: Retrospective analysis of laparoscopic antireflux surgery performed under one consultant in an Upper GI tertiary referral centre. Referral pattern, learning curve, specialist training and late outcomes were analysed for all anti-reflux surgery from January 1996 to December… Continue Reading

Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques Significantly Improve Function of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters

Background: Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) catheters provide an alternative to hemodialysis in an increasing population of patients with chronic kidney disease. However, CAPD catheters have traditionally been associated with high rates of non-function using both the open and laparoscopic approaches. New advanced laparoscopic techniques utilizing rectus sheath tunneling and selective omentopexy have been reported… Continue Reading

Appendectomy Trends Lead to One Main Road: Laparoscopy

INTRODUCTIONThe use of laparoscopic appendectomy has steadily grown since its inception. Various reports demonstrated its advantage over open approach in reducing postoperative pain, incidence of wound infection, shorter duration of hospital stay. Currently, the choice of operative approach is mostly at the surgeons’ discretion. A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the trend for one… Continue Reading

Augmented Reality for Laparoscopic Surgery Using a Novel Imaging Method- Initial Results From a Porcine Model

Background: Intraoperative appreciation of visible anatomy along with awareness of underlying structures and vasculature is invaluable to the operating surgeon. The advent of minimally invasive techniques, with reduced tactile feedback and limited visual displays has only heightened the need for improved visualization of target anatomy and adjacent but visually imperceptible structures. Current laparoscopic images are… Continue Reading

Blunt Thyroid Working Space Creation: A Tool to Facilitate Transaxillary Endoscopic Thyroidectomy

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic thyroidectomy has been proved to be a safe and effective alternative treatment of a benign small thyroid lesion. To perform this operation, the working space needs to be created. Initially, the space surrounding the incisions is directly made and endoscopic part is followed. The appropriate working space is then endoscopically harvested with the… Continue Reading

Cholangioscopic Laser Lithotripsy for Complete Encrustation of the Extra-hepatic Biliary Tree By 15-year Retained Biliary Stent

The authors report on a case of stone-stent complex encrusting the entire extra-hepatic biliary tree after biliary stent placed in 1993 for gallstone-associated pancreatitis. The patient presented with cholangitis 14 years after initial treatment, and underwent multiple serial ERCP procedures for biliary decompression and papillotomy, but failed removal of the stent-stone complex. Figure 1 shows… Continue Reading

Consecutive Case Series of Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Introduction: After training for SILS cholecystectomy, the technique was introduced in clinical practice to any consenting patients who were candidates for standard four-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The feasibility of this technique and frequency of conversions were assessed. Methods and Procedures: Over a one month period, 15 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy by an academic surgeon. The initial… Continue Reading

Direct Access to the Abdominal Cavity and Avoidance of Facial Closure with Bladeless Optical Trocar System

Background: Direct access under visualization to the abdominal cavity is becoming more popular and new systems are being introduced. The authors summarize their experience on the safety of the ethicon endopath bladeless trocar system. Materials and Methods: 528 procedures (481 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, 28 Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, 19 Laparoscopic Nissens Fundoplication) were performed with the Endopath… Continue Reading

Emergent Laparoscopic Surgery for Perforated Ulcers and Peritonitis: A Case Review

Introduction: Acute care surgery for peritonitis and perforated ulcer has traditionally been performed open, but in select circumstances may be safely performed laparoscopically with good outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review of emergent cases in an academic medical center involving acute abdomen from 2007 to 2008 included three perforated duodenal ulcers and one marginal ulcer… Continue Reading
