Gallbladder Volvulus: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Gallbladder volvulus is a rare but well recognized entity with approximately 300 cases documented in the literature since 1898. Eighty-five percent of cases occur in the elderly with three times as many women being affected. It is characterized by a generous peritoneal investment of the gallbladder and long, tortuous cystic duct which allows for the… Continue Reading

Single Port Laparoscopic Surgery for Gastric Submucosal Tumor Using Octo(tm) Port
Introduction: Single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) has been reported as an advanced laparoscopic approach and become hot issue. SPLS is expected offering potential benefits of improved cosmesis and decreased postoperative pain. There are few reports about SPLS for gastric tumors. We used a novel multichannel single port device (OCTOTM, dalimSurgNET, Seoul, South Korea) and succeeded… Continue Reading

Prospective Comparison of Single Site and Traditional Laparoscopy for Upper Urinary Tract Surgery: Initial Outcomes
Introduction: Single Site Laparospcopy (SSL) is an emerging platform which, which by consolidating working trocar and extraction incision sites, may represent a further decrease in morbidity compared to mult- site traditional laparoscopy (TL). Herein we present a prospective comparison of transperitoneal TL and SSL approaches for laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy (RN) and Partial Nephrectomy (PN). Methods:… Continue Reading

Multicenter Experience with Non-ischemic Laparoscopic Nephron Sparing Surgery Utilizing Habib 4x™ Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation Coagulator
Introduction: Laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery (L-NSS) has gained increasing acceptance with emerging data demonstrating equivalence of oncologic outcomes with open NSS. Concerns continue regarding prolonged warm ischemic times and longer-term renal functional outcomes. We report our initial experience utilizing the Habib 4x™ laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation coagulator (Angiodynamics, Queensbury, NY) for non-ischemic L-NSS. Methods: 50 cases… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Extirpation of a Fork From the Duodenum
BACKROUND: A woman who had accidentally swallowed a fork during a dinner party was admitted to our Department of General and Abdominal surgery. Different techniques have been described for removing foreign bodies (FB) from the stomach or the duodenum. Endoscopical techniques are widely and successfully used, but not in each case. Here, we present the… Continue Reading

First Experience of Single Port Accessory Splenectomy in Patient with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia.
Laparoscopic splenectomy is widely accepted as a preferred surgical technique. Single port laparoscopic surgery further improves cosmesis, pain control and recovery compared to standard multi-port laparoscopy. We report on a single port accessory splenectomy in patient with symptomatic recurrence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia after prior splenectomy more that 30 years ago. Patient was maintained on… Continue Reading

A New Approach for Laparoscopic Resection of Submucosal Tumor on Upper Portion of the Stomach
Introduction: Laparoscopic resection of tumors on upper portion of the stomach, especially when they are located at the posterior wall or greater curvature, is both difficult and time consuming. In order to overcome these difficulties, we introduce a new technique through right lateral decubitus position for laparoscopic resection of submucoal tumor (SMT) on upper portion… Continue Reading

Diagnostic Laparoscopy Is Helpful in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients with Acute Scrotal Edema
Introduction: Acute scrotal edema is an infrequent but well-known complication in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), occurring in 4-10% of patients. It happens from peritoneal tears, leaks around the catheter or most commonly from an inguinal hernia or patent processus vaginalis. Due to the subclinical nature of these hernias, diagnosis is difficult. A… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration and Current Management of Common Bile Duct Stones. Experience At the Universitary Hospital of Caracas-venezuela
Objective: To report our experience in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration. Department of General Surgery 3. Universitary Hospital of Caracas Patients and methods: This is a descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study. 25 patients with indication of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration were included. The techniques for transcystic and choledochotomy approaches are described. Both of them… Continue Reading

Computer Guided Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery and NOTES Using Intraoperative Magnetic 3d Gps Navigation System
Introduction:Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and NOTES (Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery) are novel challenging minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. The first barrier of the SILS and NOTES is management of surgical instruments in the peritoneal cavity. Because of the unpredictable nature of endoscopic view and orientation, these forced situations result in an incomplete or lengthy… Continue Reading

Sleeve Gastrectomy for the Treatment of Diabetic Gastroparesis
Objective: Diabetic gastroparesis often fails to respond to medical management. We present our initial experience with sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of gastroparesis. Surgical treatment of gastroparesis with gastric pacing has shown some promise, but when this option fails, subtotal gastrectomy is often the end result. Evidence evaluating the efficacy of this is weak. Sleeve… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Median Arcuate Ligament Release for Celiac Artery Decompression
Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare cause of abdominal pain that results from the celiac artery being narrowed by the insertion of the muscle fibers of the diaphragm or fibrous bands of the celiac nerve plexus. Patients typically have symptoms of weight loss, postprandial abdominal pain, and nausea or vomiting. Operative management, laparoscopic or… Continue Reading

Outcomes of Single Incision Cholecystectomies in a Non-select Patient Group
Introduction: Over the past two decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has replaced open cholecystectomy as the standard of care for benign gallbladder disease. Recently, attempts have been made to remove the gallbladder through single skin incisions to improve the cosmetic, and possibly other surgical outcomes such as pain. This more complex approach is generally thought to be… Continue Reading

Multicenter Comparison of Intermediate Oncologic Outcomes of Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy and Renal Cryoablation
Introduction: The surgical paradigm for small renal masses has evolved towards less invasive nephron sparing intervention. While partial nephrectomy remains the gold standard for the management of most small renal masses, increasing experience with renal cryoablation has suggested a viable alternative with a favorable morbidity profile and good efficacy. We compare intermediate-term oncologic outcomes following… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy of Intraligamentous Fibroids in Our Hospital
[Purpose] In performing laparoscopic hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, the desired level of consistency has not been achieved in cases of intraligamentous fibroids because of the complicated techniques or concern for the complications. In this study, we investigated the surgical results of laparoscopic hysterectomy in our hospital for cases of intraligamentous fibroids.[Methods] Recently, we have devised… Continue Reading
