A Rigid Access Port for Transumbilical Surgery
Introduction: Several authors have reported laparoscopic procedures conducted through an umbilical incision, with the intention of further reducing trauma, hospitalization and recovery time compared to conventional laparoscopy. At least two access ports for such surgery are now available commercially, but developmental questions regarding the optimal design for this approach remain unanswered.Methods and Procedures: The authors’… Continue Reading

The perforation of the GB in cases of incidental GB cancer: Indication for the use of retrieval bags?
Introduction: The accidental intraoperative perforation of the gallbladder is a problem of the laparoscopic surgery, if an incidental gallbladder carcinoma exists at the time of operation. According to the literature this complication comes up to 30% of the laparoscopic operations. In order to prevent the dissemination of tumour cells the use of an isolation bag… Continue Reading

MDCT navigation for LA via a single umbilical incision
Introduction: Although three ports laparoscopic appendectomy is traditional procedure, it needs the application of much expensive endoscopic instrumentation for resection and removal of the appendix . We studied the cases of three-dimensional (3D) imaging using Multi-detector CT (MDCT) to demonstrate the anatomical location of appendix clearly and of laparoscopic appendectomy via a single umbilical incision.… Continue Reading

Incisionless Endo-laparoscopic Colecotmy for Left-sided Colonic Tumors
Background: In performing ¡¥traditional¡¦ laparoscopic colectomy for left-sided colonic tumours, specimen retrieval necessitates a mini-laparotomy which often is the cause and evil of postoperative pain, wound infection as well as other pain related complications. Herein we describe a new technique of endo-laparoscopic anterior resection without abdominal incision, where specimen retrieval and colorectal anastomosis can be… Continue Reading

Transumbilical Laparoscopic Urologic Surgery – Are Special Devices Strictly Necessary?
Introduction: Laparoscopic urologic surgery is generally performed using three to six ports by transperitoneal or retroperitoneal access. Recent developments regarding laparoscopic surgery have been directed toward reducing the size or number of ports to achieve the goal of minimal invasive surgery, by mini-laparoscopy, natural orifices access and transumbilical approach. In this paper we evaluated the… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc) Step By Step: Refining the Technique
SAGE Sponcor: Vic Velanovich, MD Background: The traditional four incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is being challenged by new innovative single incision approach. We present our refined technique of the single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), step by step, in an attempt to standardize this new technique and bring it as close as possible to the traditional four… Continue Reading

Appendectomy Trends Lead to One Main Road: Laparoscopy
INTRODUCTIONThe use of laparoscopic appendectomy has steadily grown since its inception. Various reports demonstrated its advantage over open approach in reducing postoperative pain, incidence of wound infection, shorter duration of hospital stay. Currently, the choice of operative approach is mostly at the surgeons’ discretion. A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the trend for one… Continue Reading

Outcomes of a Hybrid Technique for Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (vats) Pulmonary Resection in a Community-based Practice
Background Despite more than 15 years passing since the first description of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for pulmonary resection, the technique has yet to gain widespread acceptance, especially in community hospitals. The majority of surgeons who routinely perform VATS resections work in academic or government institutions. The perceived complexity of the technique, inadequate instrumentation and… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Surgery Significantly Reduces Surgical Site Infections Compared to Open Surgery
Background: Surgical Site Infections (SSI) are known but infrequent hospital acquired infectious complications that are associated with significant morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. Recently, the U.S. Department of Human Health Services and Congress have questioned the preventive measures aimed towards hospital acquired infections. We determined and compared the incidence of SSI after laparoscopic and open… Continue Reading

The Treatment of Urachal Remnants By Laparoscopic Assistant Operation
Objective: To explore the application of laparoscopic technology in the operation of urachal remnants. Methods: Eight children with urachal remnants had been cured though urachal excision operation by Laparoscope in our hospital from july 2003 to January 2008. Result: All of cases recoverd uneventfully. The mean operating time was from 30 minutes to 45 minutes.… Continue Reading

Microlaparoscopy: An Uncomplicated Alternative to NOTES and SILS
Microlaparoscopy: An Uncomplicated Alternative to NOTES and SILS INTRODUCTION: The recent quest to advance laparoscopy and to diminish incisions had led to the developments of NOTES, and more recently SILS (Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery.) Both methods have increased the complexity of surgical procedures and inherently require a high level of surgical skills. We have explored… Continue Reading
