Endoluminal protection of colorectal anastomosis using a temporary non invasive bypass in pigs
Charam Khosrovani, MD. Clinique FonvertAims: Anastomotic leakage (AL) and its complication remain the main concern following colorectal surgery. A defunctioning ostomy is commonly used to protect patients but is fraught with its own complications. This study examined the feasibility, safety, usefulness of Colovac, an anastomosis protection device, alleviating the need for ostomies. Colovac consists of… Continue Reading
Endoluminal protection of colorectal anastomosis using a temporary non invasive bypass sheath: First in Human Clinical Data
Antonio D Urso1, Jeremie Lefevre, PhD2, Silvana Perretta, PhD1, Didier Mutter, Phd1, Cécile Dupont. 1IHU Strasbourg, 2hopital saint-AntoineObjective: Anastomotic leak is one of the most feared complications after colorectal resection for low rectal cancer.

Endoscopic Mucosal Resection and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: Initial Experience with a New Injectable Solution
Ipek Sapci, MD, Emre Gorgun, MD, Cigdem Benlice, MD. Cleveland ClinicIntroduction: Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) and Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) are advanced endoscopic resection techniques gaining popularity in the United States, preventing unnecessary oncological resections for large colorectal neoplastic lesions. Raising the lesion by submucosal endoscopic injection prior to resection is critical in these procedures. Technique… Continue Reading

ENDOSCOPIC TECHNIQUE FOR CLOSURE OF ENTEROCUTANEOUS FISTULAS
James D Roy, MD, Paul Rider, MD, Leander Grimm, MD, John Hunter, MD, William Richards, MD. University of South AlabamaIntroduction: Enterocutaneous fistulae represent a spectrum of disease that offer plentiful challenges to surgeons. The mainstays of treatment are long term conservative management versus surgical management in typically malnourished patients with hostile abdomens. At our institution,… Continue Reading
Esovac, an esophageal bypass device for the protection of esogastric anastomosis: preclinical results in pigs
Charam Khosrovani. Clinique FontvertIntroduction: Anastomotic leak is one of the most serious complications of esophageal surgery with a 30% post-operative death, reduced quality of life and negative outcome in cancer patients. Until now there is no efficient therapy to reduce the risks of esophageal anastomotic adverse events. Covered stents are routinely and successfully used in the… Continue Reading
Establishing a novel design for new stapler testing in bariatric surgery: a survival study in porcine models undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Samuel Szomstein, MD, FACS1, Joel S Frieder, MD2, Natan Zundel, MD, FACS3. 1Cleveland Clinic Florida, 2Universidad Central de Venezuela, 3Florida International University - Herbert Wertheim College of MedicineBackground: Porcine models have been widely accepted for gastrointestinal surgery studies, due to their similarities to human anatomy, histology and physiology. Devices such as laparoscopic staplers have been… Continue Reading

Evaluation of a Novel Robotic Camera Navigating System: Using Technology to Improve the Operative Experience
Matthew C Rade, MD, Aaron Berkenwald, MD, Desmond H Birkett, MD, Dmitry Nepomnayshy, MD. Lahey Hospital and Medical CenterIntroduction: In order to perform certain laparoscopic procedures, a surgeon requires an extra assistant to hold the camera. Problems with this approach include table crowding which leads to poor ergonomics, miscommunication leading to poor image targeting and… Continue Reading

Evaluation of Anchora Defect Closure Device in Laparoscopic Hernia Repair with primary defect closure
Eliad Karin, MD1, Yoni Epstein, CEO2. 1Ichilov, 2Anchora MedicalThe rationale for defect closure is to restore the integrity of the abdominal wall and enhance its thickness in order to facilitate better mesh overlap and fixation. It allows the usage of smaller mesh prosthetics and eliminates the dead space resulting in fewer seromas, bulging and recurrences.… Continue Reading
