Options and Technical Solutions in Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Introduction: Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) may offer advantages over traditional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, surgeons must be able to offer this procedure with equal safety and results. Thus, various technical options should be in the repertoire of any surgeon planning on performing SILC. The objective of this study was to describe various technical nuances and… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Resection for Duodenal Carcinoid
Laparoscopic resection for duodenal carcinoid Carcinoids are heterogeneous group of neuroendocrinal tumours. Relatively benign characteristics, slow progression, low metastatic potential and absence of endocrinal activity are typical for localization in duodenum. Type and extent of surgery depends on size and staging of tumour. 27 years old female patient with well differenced carcinoid in the second… Continue Reading

A Novel Approach to Laparoscopic-Assisted Transgastric ERCP After Roux En Y Gastric Bypass
Background: Since the advent of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP), an increasing number of patients with altered upper gastrointestinal tract anatomy require endoscope retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Endoscopic access to the remnant stomach with laparoscopic assistance is a technique well-described in the literature. However, manipulation of the flexible gastroscope within the peritoneal cavity and gastric remnant… Continue Reading

Initial Clinical Assessment of Urological Laparo-endoscopic Single-site (less) Surgery
We examined the initial clinical experience of Urological LESS surgery in our institution.Methods: Since June of 2008, a total of 10 patients underwent LESS surgery (simple Nephrectomy and renal cryoablation).Surgical Technique: Laparoscopic entry technique is performed using the Veress needle for initial CO2 insufflation. Umbilical site incision is used for the placement of a 12… Continue Reading

Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques Significantly Improve Function of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters
Background: Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) catheters provide an alternative to hemodialysis in an increasing population of patients with chronic kidney disease. However, CAPD catheters have traditionally been associated with high rates of non-function using both the open and laparoscopic approaches. New advanced laparoscopic techniques utilizing rectus sheath tunneling and selective omentopexy have been reported… Continue Reading

A Novel Technique for Laparoscopic Placement of Lumboperitoneal Shunts
Background: Lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts are effective in the treatment of intracranial hypertension but have traditionally been placed utilizing an open technique. This technique has been associated with migration of distal LP shunt catheters and can be especially difficult in the high proportion of obese patients, requiring a larger incision with greater associated morbidity and postoperative… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Surgery: Initial 150 Cases Using a Novel Laparoscopic Single Incision Approach
Our initial work with Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery was the application of the technique to cholecystectomy and oopherectomy. We have now developed the SPA technique into a platform that allows multiple abdominal procedures to be accomplished through a single incision, yet in most cases, maintaining the same instrumentation and dissection techniques as standard multiport… Continue Reading

Single Port Access (spa) Cholecystectomies: Multi-institutional Report of the First 100 Cases
Since the inception of Single Port Access (SPA) surgery in April 2007, we have strived to develop a reproducible technique applicable to cholecystectomy. The ability of other surgeons in varying institutions to perform a new technique is an important step in determining its feasibility. In follow-up to the initial report of our training program presented… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Using Conventional Instruments: A Comparison with the Gold Standard
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study was to analyze our initial experience using single umbilical incision cholecystectomy (SILC) with conventional laparoscopic equipment in comparison with standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS: Between June 1, 2008 and September 30, 2008, data from all consecutive patients undergoing LC by two surgeons were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (silc): Initial Experience with Critical View Technique and Routine Intraoperative Cholangiography
Introduction: Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) is emerging as a potentially less invasive alternative to both standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and NOTES cholecystectomy. However, as this technique becomes more widely employed, it is important to maintain the ability to perform the critical view (CV) dissection and intraoperative cholangiography (IOC). We present our initial experience with… Continue Reading

A Tertiary Centre Experience in Laparoscopic Repair of Primay and Recurrent Hiatus Hernia in 1125 Cases
Title: Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery for primary and recurrent hiatus hernia in a tertiary referral centre in 1125 casesMethod: Retrospective analysis of laparoscopic antireflux surgery performed under one consultant in an Upper GI tertiary referral centre. Referral pattern, learning curve, specialist training and late outcomes were analysed for all anti-reflux surgery from January 1996 to December… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Demonstration of Critical View Dissection and Intraoperative Cholangiography
Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is emerging as a potentially less invasive alternative to both standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy and NOTES cholecystectomy. However, as this technique becomes more widely employed, it is important to maintain the ability to perform the critical view dissection and intraoperative cholangiography. This video presentation demonstrates one technique for visualization of these two… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Thyroidectomy for Multinodular Goiter
Introduction: Surgery for multinodular goiter disease typically requires a modest cervical incision to access and extract the diseased thyroid gland. Endoscopic thyroid surgery has become increasingly popular as a result of improved visualization of critical anatomy as well as improved overall cosmetic outcome by avoiding the typical cervical neck incision. In an effort to maximize… Continue Reading

Side-to-side Duodeno-colic Anastomosis with Endotract Tm Provides Excellent Weight Loss.
INTRODUCTION: Partial bypass of the GI tract may promote weight loss by decreased absorption of nutrients and changes in incretins. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing a side-to-side duodeno-colic anastomosis with a new device called EndoTrack TM.METHODS: Seven 40-50 Kg female Yorkshire pigs were allocated to a… Continue Reading

A Novel Minimal Access Surgery Prototype for Rapid Diagnosis of Appendicitis in the Emergency Room
1. Introduction: Abdominal pain diagnosis when appendicitis is suspected is based on clinical findings. However, near half of these patients have atypical or equivocal presentation signs and symptoms. When the result of evaluation is unclear, diagnostic imaging alternatives are used; if unavailable, patients may be discharged undiagnosed. Every year in the U.S., near 100,000 patients… Continue Reading
