3D-printed laparoscopic and robotic surgical simulation and navigation system using bio-elastic wet hemorrhagic organ replica
Maki Sugimoto, MD, PhD. Kobe UniversityThe surgical simulation and training in the actual operating room are generally limited to a relatively small number of procedure types, though surgeons can easily apply the lessons from one surgery to many others. To overcome this limitation, we developed a 3D-printed laparoscopic surgical simulation and navigation system using anatomically… Continue Reading

A Case of Malrotation and Situs Inversus Totalis
Patrick J Shabino, Jacob Greenberg, MD. University of Wisconsin A laparoscopic approach to the Ladd’s procedure for adults with malrotation has been described in the literature with limited case series. Surgeons may hesitate to approach this problem with a minimally invasive technique due to concern regarding disorientation in the setting of aberrant anatomy. Our institutional experience… Continue Reading
A case report: Duplication of Gallbladder
Chollada Suwannachod, Dr, Setthasiri Pantanakul, Dr, Siriporn Angchuan, Dr, Petch Kasetsuwan, Dr. Bhumibol Adulyadej HospitalDuplication of gallbladder is a very rare congenital malformation that occur in about 1 per 4000 births.
