Comparison of the Effect of Obesity on Laparoscopy-Assisted Distal Gastrectomy with That on Open Distal Gastrectomy
INTRODUCTION: Whether the effect of obesity is more adverse on laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) than on open distal gastrectomy (ODG) is not clear.METHODS: Patients (LADG: n = 210, ODG: n = 208) who underwent distal gastrectomy were enrolled. Primary regression equations obtained by regression analyses between body mass index (BMI) and operation time and between… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sleeve Resection for Non-cancerous Gastric Tumors
Introduction: Feasibility of minimally invasive resection for gastric tumors such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) has been established. However, the safety and efficacy in large tumors (>2.5 cm) is still controversial. Also, role of laparoscopic sleeve resection in unusual gastric tumors is undefined.Methods: Records of patients who underwent a laparoscopic sleeve resection for gastric tumors… Continue Reading

Posterior Vagus Nerve Within or Outside Nissen Fundoplication: Does It Matter?
Background: Laparoscopic Nissen surgery is the gold standard surgical treatment for gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Either one or both vagus nerves can be within or outside the fundoplication. The aim of this study was to determine if placing the posterior vagus nerve within or outside the fundoplication had any effect on patient symptom relief. Materials and… Continue Reading

Does Metastatic Lymph Node Ratio Accept As a Prognostic Factor in the Patients Underwent Lymphadenectomy with Less Than 15 Lymph Nodes for Gastric Cancer?
Background. The necessity of accurate lymph node staging is a vital while evaluating different treatment consequences. This study evaluates the metastatic lymph nodes (pN)and the comprehensive use of ratio of lymph nodes as a prognostic factor in the patients with gastric cancer underwent the surgery. Method. Review of 88 consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. The… Continue Reading

Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery for Esophageal Achalasia in 200 Patients
Introduction: The laparoscopic Heller-Dor (LHD) surgery has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of achalasia. However, the incidence of achalasia is extremely low, and reports on the outcome of surgical treatment are limited. In this study, outcomes of LHD for achalasia in 200 patients at a single institution were evaluated.Methods: Two-hundred consecutive patients… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Treatment of a Unique Case of Large Sliding Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia with Intrathoracic Stomach and Achalasia
Purpose: We present a unique case of large sliding paraesophageal hiatal hernia, intrathoracic stomach and achalasia in a 54 year old male. Due to the concomitant paraesophageal hiatal hernia and intrathoracic stomach, and the need for surgical treatment, endoscopic management for achalasia was not attempted. The patient underwent laparoscopic paraesophageal hiatal hernia with reduction of… Continue Reading

A Preliminary Study on Preoperative Three-dimensional Simulation Using Mdct for Single Port Access Surgery on Gist
PURPOSERecently, Single Port Access (SPA) surgery becomes to be performed for cholecystectomy or gastrostomy. SPA surgery is performed using a single incision in the patient’s belly button. We try to remove gastric GIST using SPA plus one or two additional ports. However gastric wedge resection for GIST is variable about location or size comparing to… Continue Reading

Thoracoscopic Total Oesophagectomy
THORACOSCOPIC TOTAL OESOPHAGECTOMY Introduction: Oesphagectomies have been performed by either a thoracoabdominal, transhiatal or thoracoscopic approach. These methods especially transthoracic procedure have known to have high intra and post operative morbidity. Principle of minimally invasive oesophagectomy is to perform the same operation through a smaller incision thus reducing the operating trauma without compromising the oncological… Continue Reading

Effects of Nissen Fundoplication on Ablation of Barrett\’s Esophagus with Endoscopic, Endoluminal Radiofrequency Ablation
Background: Endoscopic, endoluminal radiofrequency ablation is achieving increasing acceptance as a mode of eliminating Barrett’s metaplasia and, thus, reducing the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is believed that reducing the exposure of the esophageal epithelium to acid is essential to achieve long-term ablation of Barrett’s esophagus. However, it is unclear whether the use of… Continue Reading

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Clinical Early Stage Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Thoracoscopy Compared with Mediastinoscopy Assisted
Objective:Minimally invasive esophagectomy has been applied wildly for esophageal carcinoma treatment. Thoracoscope-assisted transthoracic esophagectomy(TATTE) and mediastinoscope-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy(MATHE) were two kind of MIE, the objective of this study was to compare these two methods with respect to surgical feasibility and safety. Methods: Single institute experience with MATHE and TATTE was analyzed to assess morbidity, adequacy… Continue Reading

DS (Disk Suspension) Method: Novel and Safe Technique for the Retraction of the Liver in Laparoscopic Surgery
BACKGROUND: A sufficient operative field and an adequate working space are critical factors that determine the success of laparoscopic surgery. Although some liver lifting methods have been reported, insufficient operative field, liver disfunction, and risk of liver laceration, particularly for obese patients, have been serious problems. We have developed a novel and safe technique that… Continue Reading

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer Versus Open Thoracoabdominal Esophagectomy
INTRODUCTION: Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer with thoracoabdominal approach is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) using laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery has been proposed to decrease these complications. This retrospective study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes between MIE (group A) and conventional open thoracoabdominal approach (group B). METHODS:… Continue Reading
