Endoscopic versus open rectus abdominis muscle harvesting. An experimental study in a swine model
Keywords: Endoscopic, open technique, rectus abdominis, swine, experimental Aim: The rectus abdominis muscle is one of the most frequent used free flaps in reconstructive surgery. Endoscopic harvesting of free flaps is increasingly used in reconstructive surgery due to minimal donor site morbidity. The present study aims in establishing a comparison between the experimental model of… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Surgery Under Spinal Anaesthesia-
AbstractINTRODUCTION – Laparoscopic abdominal surgery is conventionally done under general anesthesia Spinal anesthesia is usually preferred in patients where general anesthesia is contraindicated. We present our experience of using spinal anesthesia as the first choice for laparoscopic surgery over a period of over 10 years with the contention that it is a better alterative to… Continue Reading

Totally extraperitoneal (TEP) bilateral varicocelectomy (BLV) – a comparative study of collateral venous channels in left and right varicocele and their accessibility by TEP route
Objective of Study :Results of bilateral varicocelectomy are sometimes a concern due to recurrence, hydrocele and no improvement in semen parameters specially when done for male infertility. Both Retroperitoneoscopic and Microvascular subinguinal approaches have these drawbacks. An anterior Extraperitoneal approach presented by us earlier enables visualization of venous collaterals from high retroperitoneum (HRP) till subinguinal… Continue Reading

Celiac Axis Compression Syndrome: The Optimal Approach is Laparoscopic
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study is to evaluate outcomes with laparoscopic management of celiac axis compression syndrome (CACS). Celiac axis compression syndrome (CACS) is a rare entity associated with epigastric abdominal pain and extrinsic compression of the celiac artery. Although the precise etiology is not certain, many patients benefit from open surgical decompression. Laparoscopic… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Cholecystectomy – Initial Validation of a Single Incision Approach
The desire to continually improve our minimal access surgical approach to disease is clearly evidenced by the focus on reducing incisions required for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and other procedures. With this in mind, we have developed a Single Port Access (SPA) surgical procedure that has allowed us to perform a number of varying minimal access procedures… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Massive Splenomegaly
Introduction: This video illustrates the technical feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic approach in the setting of massive splenomegaly.We present the case of a 37 year-old man who was referred to us after failure of medical treatment for massive splenomegaly associated with non Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. He had been complaining of nocturia, suprapubic pressure and… Continue Reading

Construct Validity of Assessing Technical Skills of Trainees After Repetition in Simulated Laparoscopic Surgery
AimsAssessing and appraising laparoscopic technical skills is a topical issue. To date there has been little attempt to comprehensively assess both human or computer based assessment tools after repetition of a task/procedure. In this study we aim to compare these different assessment tools in repeated simulated laparoscopic cholecystectomy. MethodsThree groups of trainees were prospectively recruited:… Continue Reading

Outcomes of Non-surgical Management of Gallbladder Disease during Pregnancy: A Single Center Experience
Background:The indications for non-emergent operations during pregnancy remain undefined. Many surgeons defer non-emergent operations until after delivery to minimize fetal risk. We wished to determine the outcome of delaying cholecystectomy in pregnant patients hospitalized for non-acute gallbladder disease.Methods:After approval from the Institutional Review Board, a retrospective case review was performed at a large volume regional… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Surgery – Initial Experience of a Novel Minimal Access Approach Applied Across Surgical Specialties
We have developed a minimal access surgical technique in which the entire procedure can be performed through a single incision within the umbilicus. This Single Port Access (SPA) surgical technique developed in May 2007 has been utilized for a number of general surgical procedures including cholecystectomy, gastric surgery, omental surgery and hernia surgery. Utilizing High… Continue Reading

Endoscopic thyoridectomy by the axillary approach
Aim: Minimally invasive surgery is widely employed for the treatment of thyroid diseases. We have performed pure endoscopic thyroidectomy by the axillary approach from 1999. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of this surgical procedure.Patients and Methods: The indications for this procedure included the presence of a follicular nodule or adenomatous goiter with a… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Management of the Acute Abdomen in Pregnancy
The reported incidence of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy is 1/500-1/635. Despite initial concerns about the safety of laparoscopic surgery during pregnancy, there is an increasing body of evidence supporting its use in this scenario. Our objective was to review cases of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy which were managed laparoscopically at our institution to… Continue Reading

Single Port Laparoscopic Ileal-Pouch Anal Anastomosis
The use of laparoscopy in the surgical management of inflammatory bowel disease has been increasing. Advantages include a decrease in postoperative pain and decreased adhesion formation. Many patients who undergo this procedure are young and very concerned with their appearance. Laparoscopic surgical procedures offer smaller, more cosmetically appealing incisions. In this video we describe our… Continue Reading
