Case Report: Gastrointestinal Tract Duplications Treatement with Laparoscopic Surgery
INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal tract duplications are rare malformations that can affect any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, although half of the cases occur in the ileum. They are divided into cystic and tubular and can be either adjacent or completely separated from the intestine.As we have had the opportunity to diagnose a patient with this issue… Continue Reading

Mentoring Facilitates Oncologically Sound Laparoscopic Colon Resection
Objective: There is a significant learning curve to overcome for laparoscopic colorectal resection. For the established general surgeon there are minimal opportunities for obtaining the necessary skills for advanced laparoscopic procedures. Our hypothesis is that the assistance of a MIS trained surgeon facilitates comparable and oncologically adequate laparoscopic colorectal resection when performed by an established… Continue Reading

Choosing the Cosmetically Superior Laparoscopic Accesss to the Abdomen: The Importance of the Navel
Introduction: Single incision laparoscopy(SIL) is rapidly growing in the field of laparoscopic surgery. The most frequent location of abdominal access during SIL is the umbilicus. In order to introduce 3 or more instruments, an incision of at least 1.5 to 3 cm has to be placed in the umbilicus, potentially leading to alterations due to… Continue Reading

Benefits of Laparoscopy for Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Placement
INTRODUCTION: Traditional insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) involves a small laparotomy incision. In addition to significant postoperative discomfort, the laparotomy portion of the procedure affects hospital stay and convalescence. Moreover, laparotomy incision may also contribute to wound /shunt infections and incisional hernias. Although laparoscopic approach to VPS has been reported, it has not been… Continue Reading

Deflectable Tip Laparoscope Decreases Operation Time and Blood Loss During Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Background: New endoscopic technologies are revolutionizing laparoscopic surgery. Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an emerging approach to many abdominal surgeries, but is still in need of improved technology to become more efficient. A 5 mm flexible tip laparoscope may help to meet the surgeons’ viewing needs and prevent collision of instruments during SILS. The… Continue Reading

Single Port Endo-laparoscopic Surgery (spes) for Multiple Procedures
Single port endo-laparoscopic surgery (SPES) is gaining enthusiasm in the surgical community due to its perceived better outcome of pain and cosmesis. The advantages are further extrapolated by achieving multiple operations with a single incision. The feasibility and safety of SPES in double procedures is assessed. Case 1: A 56 year old male with a… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Splenectomy: A Case Series Comparison to Laparoscopic Splenectomy
Introduction: Laparoscopic splenectomy is currently considered the gold standard in elective splenectomy. This study evaluates the safety, efficiency and efficacy of single incision laparoscopic (SIL) splenectomy as compared with the gold standard. It is our belief that SIL splenectomy is an improved technique with one hidden umbilical incision that permits concomitant organ removal without the… Continue Reading

Single Site Wireless Laparoscopy in Animal Model
This video shows a single port wireless laparoscopy. In order to reduce the number of instruments.The image quality is not bad but needs to be improved if it is to become a realistic substitute for flexible laparoscopy. Remote control movement will improve with the use of magnets and/or electrostimulation and perhaps electromechanical methods.External wireless commands… Continue Reading

Single Port Cholecystectomy: Small Scar, Short Learning Curve
Introduction: This past year has born witness to the acceptance of single port laparoscopic surgery into mainstream clinical practice. Reports of surgeons' early experience with single port laparoscopic cholecystectomy suggests the procedure is a technically feasible, safe and cosmetically superior alternative to the traditional 4-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. To date, however, there has not been a… Continue Reading

Advanced Laparoendoscopic Single Site Procedures
Introduction: To report our experience with some advanced laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) abdominal surgery. Methods: Between July 2008 and September 2009, we perform LESS abdominal procedures in 42 patients for various indications. This included acute appendicitis with peritonitis, acute cholecystitis, cystogastrojejunostomy for pancreatic pseudocyst, resection of giant mesenteric cyst, gastrojejunostomy, sleeve gastrectomy, splenectomy and a perforated… Continue Reading

Safety, Efficacy and Cost-effectiveness of Common Laparoscopic Procedures
Introduction: Although several single-center studies on the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery have shown better surgical outcomes, a large multi-center study on outcomes of common laparoscopic surgical procedures has not been performed. The objective of this study was to retrospectively examine multi-center outcomes of common laparoscopic procedures. Methods: The University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) is an alliance… Continue Reading

Single-incision Laparoscopic Right Hemicolectomy: Safety and Feasibility in a Series of 10 Consecutive Cases
Objective: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is rapidly emerging in the field of minimally invasive colon and rectal surgery. We present the feasibility and safety of single-incision laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (SILS-RH) with a modified technique using the SILSTM Multiple Instrument Access Port (Covidien, Mansfield, MA). Methods and Procedure: Between July 2009 and October 2009, single-incision laparoscopic… Continue Reading

Endocrine Comorbidities and Laparoscopic Surgery for Adrenal Pathology – Our Experience
The minimally invasive technique has radically changed adrenal surgery since this type of procedure became the gold standard treatment for this pathology but comorbidities still define various limits for this type of surgery. Method: In the past 6 years in General Surgery Department of Emergency Hospital Bucharest Romania over 150 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed, 21… Continue Reading

Paediatric Laparoscopic Appendicectomy in an Adult Unit- A Ten Year Experience
Objectives: Laparoscopic appendicectomy has been reported as a safe and effective alternative to the open technique in children. However a majority of studies comparing these techniques in children have been conducted in paediatric surgical units. The aim of this study was to analyse the outcomes of laparoscopic appendicectomies performed in children in an adult surgical… Continue Reading
