Laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancer in octogenarians
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colorectal resection is becoming a trend in modern surgery. Studies have shown the benefit of having less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery when comparing to open surgery. At the same time, people are living longer and the proportion of colorectal cancer in the elderly is increasing. They are generally having… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Located at the Gastroesophageal Junction
IntroductionGastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal neoplasm of the GI tract, and 60% of GISTs occur in the stomach. The mainstay of treatment for GI stromal tumors is surgical resection with negative margins, with use of Gleevac reserved for metastatic or unresectable disease. Tumors located at the gastroesophageal junction have traditionally been problematic… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Resection of Giant Adrenal Tumors
Traditionally, large adrenal tumors have been considered relative contraindications to laparoscopic adrenalectomy. However, with increasing experience with laparoscopic techniques, even giant tumors can be resected in a minimally invasive manner. We present two cases of laparoscopic adrenalectomy of giant adrenal tumors. The first case involves a 42 year old female with flank pain. Imaging revealed… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Ressection of a Large Retroperitoneal Mass
Schwannomas are usually benign tumors arising from Schwann cells of the peripheral nerve sheath. Most schwannomas are benign, although malignant cases are known to occur. Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a rare entity comprising only 0.5% to 12% of all retroperitoneal tumors. In the retroperitoneal position, they occur most commonly between 40 and 60 years of age,… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Restorative Proctocolectomy
Introduction: Although many studies have demonstrated good results with laparoscopic proctocolectomy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), most surgical procedure require al least one additional incision bigger than 5 cm to complete the surgery. The aim of this video is to show a laparoscopic proctocolectomy with ileoanal J pouch with complete intracorporeal dissection using 4… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Retro-Gastric Retro-colic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Does not Cause Increased Incidence of Internal Hernias and Obstructions.
Background: Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (LGB) is reportedly associated with increased risk of intestinal obstruction due to internal hernia. Some authors argue that retrogastric retrocolic approach has a major disadvantage in this respect. Study Design: From 2001-2007, a total of 1364 patients underwent LGB, with conversion rate of 0.66%. Ninety day follow-up was 100% and long-term… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Revision of Failed Fundoplication and Hiatal Herniorrhaphy
Objective: To evaluate the mechanisms of failure after laparoscopic fundoplication and the results of revision laparoscopic fundoplication. Background: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication has become the most commonly performed antireflux procedure for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with success rates from 90-95%. Persistent or new symptoms often warrant endoscopic and radiographic studies to find the cause… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Revision of Omega Loop Bypass to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Bariatric surgeons who evaluate patients for possible revisional surgery should be aware of the potential of aberrant bypass anatomy. The “Omega loop gastric bypass” is a nondivided, antecolic loop gastric bypass with a Braun entero-enterostomy. The omega loop bypass is not a condoned weight loss procedure due to the lack of published evidence regarding risks… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy for Colon Diseases: Clinical Studies on Intracorporeal and Extracorporeal Anastomosis in 423 Consecutive Cases
INTRODUCTION:Totally laparoscopic or laparoscopic-assisted (LA) right hemicolectomies (RHC) have been reported as acceptable procedures for both benign and malignant colon diseases. Laparoscopic RHC either with a totally intracorporeal or extracorporeal anastomosis has been performed for the treatment of ascending colon diseases including cancer, polyps, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, AVM. However, research has not been conducted… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux – En – Y Gastric By Pass with Jejunun – Ileal Diversification – Technique and Results.
Background: During November 98 to April 2007 we performed 3000 bariatric procedures that including: 29% Lap-Band, 41% Gastric By Pass, 26% BIB and 4% BPD. The choice of the method was defined by protocols developed into a multidisciplinary team, considering BMI, social and eating profile, surgery risk, agreement to physical activity and patient’s expectation.Methods: In… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Patients with Body Mass Index > 70kg/m2
Introduction: There is sparse literature regarding the optimal surgical management of megaobesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) >70 kg/m2. The purpose of this study was to compare laparoscopic Roux-en-y gastric bypass (LRYGP) and open Roux-en-y gastric bypass (ORYGP) in megaobese patients.Methods: A retrospective review of patients with BMI >70 kg/m2 undergoing LRYGB and ORYGP… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: 30-day Morbidity and Mortality as Assessed by Prospective, Multi-center, Risk-Adjusted ACS-NSQIP Data
Background: Previous comparisons of open and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (ORYGB, LRYGB), and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) have been limited by a lack of unique CPT codes for LRYGB and LAGB. Specific codes have been available for LRYGB since 2005, and for LAGB since 2006. This study compares the short-term safety of these procedures,… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy versus Adjustable Gastric Banding for Morbid Obesity: Perioperative and Short-term Outcomes
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is emerging as a primary procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity. We compare the outcomes of patients undergoing LSG vs laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Specifically we examine the perioperative and postoperative variables and short term weight loss. Methods: This study is a retrospective review of a prospective database of… Continue Reading
