Degarengeot\’s Hernia: Laparoscopic Reduction, Repair & Resection of an Incarcerated Appendiceal Mucocele
Overview: Our patient is a 69 year old female who presented for evaluation of rightthigh mass. Initially believed to represent a soft tissue malignancy, the mass waseventually found to be a femoral hernia containing incarcerated appendix. She underwent successful simultaneous laparoscopic TAPP herniorrhaphy and appendectomy. Background: Femoral hernia containing the appendix was first described in… Continue Reading

Diagnosis and Treatment of Occult Gi Bleeding After Laparoscopic Roux-en- Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB). A Case Report of a Gist As Bleeding Source.
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare stromal neoplasm that accounts 5% of all soft tissue sarcomas. It is the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the gastrointestinal tract. Nearly one third of GISTs are asymptomatic, and even if symptomatic, symptoms are often vague and nonspecific. Case Presentation: We present a 60-year-old female patient who… Continue Reading

DS (Disk Suspension) Method: Novel and Safe Technique for the Retraction of the Liver in Laparoscopic Surgery
BACKGROUND: A sufficient operative field and an adequate working space are critical factors that determine the success of laparoscopic surgery. Although some liver lifting methods have been reported, insufficient operative field, liver disfunction, and risk of liver laceration, particularly for obese patients, have been serious problems. We have developed a novel and safe technique that… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Removal of Partially Eroded Adjustable Gastric Band with Common Endo-household Items
INTRODUCTION: Intragastric band migration is one of the possible long-term complications of laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding that classically requires surgical treatment. Previous attempts at endoscopic removal of eroded bands have included the use of laser ablation, electrosurgical devices, and Endoscopic scissors. We report a case of endoscopic removal of partially eroded gastric band with items… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Treatment for Gastric Perforation Using T-tag and Plastic Protection Chamber
Background: The endoscopic gastric perforation is a consequence of some endoscopic procedures and now a way to manage abdominal organs. This is the reason why endoscopists are studying a safe endoscopic repair.Methods: Ten White Landrace pigs underwent a gastric perforation of 1.8cm in diameter under general anesthesia. The opening was repaired with stitch assembled in… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Unroofing of a Postraumatic Splenic Cyst Through a Transumbilical Single Port Access
Laparoscopic approach is the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic splenic cysts and unroofing is the best accepted procedure . There is currently a trend to reduce the invasiveness of minimally invasive procedures. Single port access is alternative to conventional laparoscopy but no reports have yet been published in relation to splenic cysts. AIM: To… Continue Reading

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

Gelpointtm Single Incision Intracorporeal Anastomotic Techniques
Introduction: With single incision laparoscopy becoming a viable alternative to conventional laparoscopy, many techniques are being developed for the accomplishment of familiar tasks. Bowel resection either for benign disease, or cancer, is a feasible outlet for single incision surgery. We present our experience with two techniques of bowel resection and intracorporeal anastomosis.Methods: Two patients, one… Continue Reading

Hybrid Transvaginal Sleeve Gastrectomy
Introduction: Sleeve Gastrectomy is now recognized as a weight loss procedure in a staged fashion for high risk patients or increasingly as a primary procedure for non super-obese patients. Reducing the risks of hernia and infections is important in the morbid obese patient. The aim of the presentation is to describe the steps of a… Continue Reading

Laparo-endoscopic Single Site (less) Pancreatic Cyst Enucleation
This video demonstrates LESS resection of an 8 cm mass arising from the pancreatic body. Three 5 mm trocars were placed through one 12 mm incision using a single multi-access port at the umbilicus. A deflectable tip laparoscope was placed after insufflation of the peritoneal cavity. Division of the gastro-colic omentum and short gastric vessels… Continue Reading

Laparo-endoscopic Single Site (less) Toupet Fundoplication with Reduction of a Giant Hiatal Hernia
Introduction: The journey from conventional laparoscopic operations to truly “minimally invasive” operations naturally includes progression from operations involving multiple trocars and multiple incisions to operations involving access through the umbilicus alone. Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery promises improved cosmesis by reducing the number of access incisions to a single incision hidden in the umbilicus, which… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Component Separation for Incisional Hernia Repair and Removal of Infected Mesh
For patients who have previously undergone ventral hernia repair with synthetic mesh, options are limited once they represent with infected mesh. Removal of the mesh leaves a significant defect. Bridging fascial defects with biologic mesh tend to have higher recurrences than using biologics in an underlay fashion. Open separation of components is an option for… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Conversion of Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (lagb) to Sleeve Gastrectomy (lsg) for Morbid Obesity
Background: We present a case of a laparoscopic conversion of a LAGB to a LSG. Case Report: A 54-year-old female with a history of prior LAGB for morbid obesity presented with failure of weight loss, recurrent nausea, vomiting and weight regain. Upper GI series revealed posterior slippage of the stomach and a small hiatal hernia… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Median Arcuate Ligament Release
Introduction: Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome is a rare condition caused by abnormally low insertion of the median arcuate ligament or diaphragmatic muscle resulting in external compression of the celiac trunk. This leads to postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Conventional surgical treatment of this condition involves a release of MAL via a… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Paraduodenal Hernia Repair
Paraduodenal hernias are the commonest type of internal hernia, affecting 2-3% of the population. Paraduodenal hernias arise from a deficiency in midgut rotation. However, unlike malrotation, the duodenum crosses the midline and the cecum is located in the right lower quadrant. 75% of paraduodenal hernias are left sided. The peritoneum-lined sac, known as Landzert’s fossa,… Continue Reading
