Endoscopic Thyroidectomy for Multinodular Goiter
Introduction: Surgery for multinodular goiter disease typically requires a modest cervical incision to access and extract the diseased thyroid gland. Endoscopic thyroid surgery has become increasingly popular as a result of improved visualization of critical anatomy as well as improved overall cosmetic outcome by avoiding the typical cervical neck incision. In an effort to maximize… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Versus Open Harvesting Techniques in Pig Flap Models
Introduction: In an era of minimal invasive surgery, endoscopic flap harvesting has not been widely accepted as the gold standard for harvesting muscles flaps, despite numerous benefits over the open technique. This is due to a lack of experience for most consultants with this new method. Aim of this study was to determine if the… Continue Reading

Hals Nephrectomy and Distal Pancreatectomy: Approach for Donor Benefits in Simultaneous Pancreas and Kidney Transplant
[INTRODUCTION] It is seriously important for living donations to make safer and to reduce operating stress. Laparoscopic surgery is though to be a useful operating procedure for solving these problems. We performed first case of living donor (LD) simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPKTx) in Japan in 2004, and until now, we have done 10… Continue Reading

Image Overlay Navigation By Fluctuation Adjusting Accelerometer in Laparoscopic Surgery and NOTES
Purpose:Manipulating instruments inside the human body during laparoscopic surgery and NOTES translumenal surgery can be very difficult for even well experienced surgeons due to the loss of 3D depth perception. Classical navigation techniques are often incapable of providing support in such situations, as the augmentation of the scene with the necessary artificial markers is usually… Continue Reading

Incidental Gallbladder Cancer After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and the Need of a Complete Staging
Introduction: Incidental gallbladder carcinoma (IGBC) is a carcinoma first detected by the pathologist. The indication for the cholecystectomy was a benign disease. It is often supposed that the laparoscopic technique could deteriorate the prognosis of gallbladder cancer, often based on anterior data of only small groups and very often case reports. According to new data… Continue Reading

Incisionless Endo-laparoscopic Colecotmy for Left-sided Colonic Tumors
Background: In performing ¡¥traditional¡¦ laparoscopic colectomy for left-sided colonic tumours, specimen retrieval necessitates a mini-laparotomy which often is the cause and evil of postoperative pain, wound infection as well as other pain related complications. Herein we describe a new technique of endo-laparoscopic anterior resection without abdominal incision, where specimen retrieval and colorectal anastomosis can be… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Excision of a Urachal Remnant
The urachus connects the bladder to the allantois during gestation, and normally involutes shortly after birth. Abnormalities of the urachus, which include cysts, remnants and diverticula, can result in persistent umbilical drainage and infection. Excision of an incompletely involuted urachus is recommended to prevent infection, and is typically accomplished through a transverse infraumbilical or vertical… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Intraoperative Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion Following Radical Total Gastrectomy: A Novel Technique
Objective of technique: Several neo-adjuvant and adjuvant techniques has been described for advanced gastric cancer, including intraoperative hyperthermic chemoperfusion (IOHC). Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) for gastric cancer has also been described, however, concurrent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy followed by IOHC remains unreported. We are reporting laparoscopic IOHC technique for advanced gastric cancer following a LRG. Technique:… Continue Reading
