Anastomotic Leaks After 899 Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgeries:way to an Optimal Intestinal Anastomosis
ABSTRACT BACKGROUD AND OBJECTIVE: Anastomotic leakage has been evidenced as one of the most formidable complications after laparoscopic colorectal surgeries. This prospective study was designed to analyze the potential causes of anastomotic leaks from the patients undergoing various laparoscopic colorectal surgeries at our institute in the past 15 years, and aimed to develop applicable ways… Continue Reading

The Role of Body Mass Index and Visceral Fat Area in Colorectal Cancer Patients Treated with Laparoscopic-Assisted Surgery.
(Introduction)The obesity on laparoscopic-assisted surgery in patients with colorectal cancer is reported as a risk factor. In this study, we examined the effect of body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) on laparoscopic-assisted surgery in colorectal cancer. (Method and Procedure)86 patients with colon cancer and 32 patients with rectal cancers underwent laparoscopic surgery.… Continue Reading

Does an Increased Body Mass Index (bmi) Lead to Increased Rates of Conversion During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?
Introduction: Cholecystectomies are one of the most common procedures in general surgical practice. The laparoscopic approach has become the standard technique. However, a certain number of patients end up requiring conversion to the open technique, for a variety of reasons. Obesity can lead to increased technical challenges during surgery, which can make the laparoscopic technique… Continue Reading

Preoperative Evaluation of the Major Branches of the Mid Hepatic Vein and Portal Vein At the Liver Bed with the Dynamic Flow Investigation By the Doppler Ultrasonography to Avoid the Bleeding From the Liver Bed At Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Introduction: The severe liver bed bleeding is one of the common problems during the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Most of the bleeding is from injured middle hepatic vein (MHV), and from portal vein (PV) occasional as well. Dynamic flow investigation by the doppler ultrasonography (DUS) is useful to find the depth of the vein from the liver… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic primary common duct repair: Management of an unusual complication of ERCP
Biliary leaks following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) have been reported in up to 1.1% of patients. After diagnosis, the typical management consists of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and stent placement. Bile duct perforation by the stent is an even more rare complication and its true incidence is elusive in the literature. Case summary:A 30 year old female… Continue Reading

Hospitalization Costs of Laparoscopic Vs Open Appendectomy: 5 Year Experience.
INTRODUCTION:We performed a retrospective cohort study of the patients who underwent either a laparoscopic (LA) or an open appendectomy (OA) in a private third level hospital in Mexico City and compared the hospitalization costs and outcomes of each procedure. METHODS: The charts of all patients with an ICD-9 procedure code for either laparoscopic or open… Continue Reading
