Background and Objectives: Small skin incision, like laparoscopic surgery had been reported that it was better on pain, inflammatory responses and duration of hospital stay compared to conventional open laparotomy, however, we have a little evidence for beneficial effect on laparoscopic surgery in malnourished patients. The aims of this study were to asses whether small… Continue Reading

This increases the potential for excessive force application during tissue manipulation. There are little data regarding tissue damage resulting from forces routinely applied in MIS. The purpose of this study is to systematically… Continue Reading
