Initial Experience in Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery Lead to Modifications and Dedicated Tools for Comparable Safety to Stnadard Laparoscopy
INTRODUCTION: The desire to reduce incision related post-operative morbidity and pain while achieving improved cosmetic results has recently led to the introduction of less invasive techniques. In this respect, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an attractive option. One of the major criticisms of SILS is that the vision is impaired and therefore the safety… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Inferior Mesenteric Artery Ligation Prior to Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
IntroductionLarge caliber inferior mesenteric arteries (IMA) are thought to be responsible for type II endoleaks following endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). IMA ligation has been successfully employed to treat this condition. However, limited data exist regarding laparoscopic IMA ligation prior to EVAR. We describe a positive outcome with this technique in a patient at… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Omentoplasty for Bronchial Stump Reinforcement in Pneumonectomy Patient.
Bronchopleural fistula represents one of the most serious complications after pneumonectomy with an incidence of 1% to 12%. Viable tissue reinforcement, which are pleura, intercostals muscle, pericardium, omentum etc., reduces this complication. Among these tissues pedicled omental flaps have been widely used because of better results due to abundance of viable tissue and excellent vascularization.… Continue Reading
