Evaluation of the R Port for Single Laparoscopic Port Procedures (SLaPP): A study of 20 cases
Introduction: Since the advent of Laparoscopic Surgery in the 1980’s, laparoscopic Cholecystectomy has rapidly become the gold standard for the treatment of symptomatic Cholelithiasis. In the last decade, surgeons have pushed the frontiers of technology to apply the laparoscopic technique to various abdominal surgeries. Standard laparoscopic techniques for cholecystectomy have consisted of the French and… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection with the Application of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Technique
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a newly developed endoscopic treatment used to obtain a large mucosal specimen in one fragment . It has contributed to the advantages of the treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer. On the other hand, many disadvantages such as difficulty in learning the techniques, the long time required to perform the… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Appendectomy By Surgical Residents: Evaluating Outcomes and Learning Curve
BackgroundLaparoscopic appendectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is associated with shorter hospitalisation and recovery, better pain control and less complications. However, there is a longer operating time and increased rate of intra-abdominal abscess. Studies have shown that laparoscopic appendectomy may be safely incorporated as part of the surgical training program for trainees in a… Continue Reading

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

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

Blind flank trocar placement to achieve pneumoperitoneum
Aim: To evaluate the safety of blind Lateral Port Entry (LPE) to achieve a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery.Background: Surgeons are understandably concerned about obtaining pneuomoperitoneum due to the risks of bowel and vascular injury, particularly in patients who have had previous midline surgery with possible adhesions. Furthermore laparoscopic mesh repair of incisional hernais within midline… Continue Reading

Building Cross-Cultural Collaboration through Minimally-Invasive Surgery: The South Asia Regional Surgical Consortium at OHSU
Objective of the Study: Establish a cross-cultural, collaborative surgical educational exchange program with locoregional partners in South Asia in order to advance minimally-invasive surgery in rural areas with an established supporting infrastructure. Four areas will be addressed: advanced GI laparoscopy, educational exchange, collaborative research, and community outreach. Methods: Using Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)… 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

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

Thermal spread, heat absorbance and device degradation during energised electrosurgery by open and laparoscopic surgery: randomised experimental study in pigs
Aim of study: to examine extent of thermal spread between open and laparoscopic energised dissection with bipolar electrosurgery (Atlas and Advance - ValleyLab). Methods: Experiments were performed in 8 Large White/Landrace pigs (average wt. 27 kg), 4 of which were randomised to open and 4 to laparoscopic multi-site surgical energised dissections. Thermal imaging was performed… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic treatment of non traumatic peritonitis of digestive or extra-digestive origin: A ten-year study
PURPOSE: Localized or generalized peritonitis is one of the most serious complications of many abdominal or pelvic diseases. Laparoscopy has been used cautiously, because of technical difficulties and the theoretical risks of poorly controlled sepsis, overlooked lesions, and suboptimal treatment due to poor vision.METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected from May 1998 to April 2007 in… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Approach to a Ganglioneuroma Posterior to the Pancreatic Head and Portal Vein
Introduction: Ganglioneuromas are rare benign masses that arise from neural crest cells. Intra-abdominally they can arise anywhere along the sympathetic nerve chain in the retroperitoneum and often remain clinically silent until they achieve a significant size. Surgical exploration is often necessary for diagnosis and treatment. A laparoscopic approach to this area can be challenging but… Continue Reading
