The Value of ERCP in the Management of Complex Liver Injuries
Introduction: Our objective is to evaluate the use of ERCP in the management of complex, traumatic biliary injuries in a case series. Grades I and II liver injuries are often amenable to expectant management and usually resolve without further intervention. More severe injuries may continue to hemorrhage, or develop further complications including bile leaks, biliary… Continue Reading

Thoracoscopic Total Oesophagectomy
THORACOSCOPIC TOTAL OESOPHAGECTOMY Introduction: Oesphagectomies have been performed by either a thoracoabdominal, transhiatal or thoracoscopic approach. These methods especially transthoracic procedure have known to have high intra and post operative morbidity. Principle of minimally invasive oesophagectomy is to perform the same operation through a smaller incision thus reducing the operating trauma without compromising the oncological… Continue Reading

Three \”5mm\” Ports Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication – the Least Invasive So Far.
Aims Laparoscopic surgery is well established for more than 20 years. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is well accepted world wide and is prformed for many patients suffering from GERD. Some endoscopic treatments were tried in the past but the results have been less than satisfactory. Currently GERD is managed with operations performed laparoscopically with four or… Continue Reading

Three Port Robotic Right Hemicolectomy: A Systematic Approach to Set Up and Surgery
Robotic Surgery for colonic resections has been the topic of multiple discussions regarding cost, procedure length, safety and efficacy over the past several years. Despite, awareness generated from this research there is a paucity of video data that addresses the proper setup involved for a successful colonic resection utilizing robotic technology. We describe a systematic… Continue Reading

Total Endoscopic Gastric Band Removal
Introduction: Multiple surgical options are available for patients undergoing treatment for obesity. One of the most popular, due to short surgical times and low morbidity, is laparoscopic gastric band placement. Complications necessitating reoperation include prolapse and gastric band erosion. In our video we present a totally endoscopic removal of an eroded gastric band.Methods: A 61… Continue Reading
Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal (tep) Herniorrhaphy for Primary Inguinal Herna: 3-year Experience of a Minimally Invasive Fellowship Trained Surgeon
Introduction- The aim of this study is to report the outcomes following TEP repair for primary unilateral inguinal hernias, performed by a single surgeon (ME) with minimally invasive surgical fellowship training. TEP repair for unilateral primary inguinal hernia remains a topic of discussion. Reported higher rates of recurrence are likely due to cases done while… Continue Reading

Total Intracorporeal Colon Surgery Using the N.o.s.e. (natural Orifice Specimen Extraction) Technique.
Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery for colonic disease has experienced an increased utilization by surgeons owing to decreased morbidity, less pain, earlier ambulation, earlier bowel function, fewer complications, decreased narcotic use, and improved cosmesis compared with open colon surgery. The ability to perform a totally intracorporeal anastomosis will be an initial step to allow surgeons to perform… Continue Reading

Total Laparoscopic Repair of Foreign Body Perforation of Jejunum
Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence in both adults and in children. It is usually a benign occurrence with 75.6% of all FB ingestions passing through the GI tract spontaneously. Rarely, does the foreign body perforate the intestinal wall (0.73%). Perforation is difficult to diagnose as history, symptoms, laboratory and imaging tests are… Continue Reading

Total Transvaginal Appendectomy: Less Pain and Faster Recovery
Over the last years, minimizing minimally invasive surgery via Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) has become the new frontier among surgeons. Although the feasibility of hybrid NOTES has been shown with good success, reports of human total or pure NOTES procedures are very limited to date. This new minimally invasive approach is believed to… Continue Reading

Totally Extraperitoneal Repair of a Spigelian Hernia
TOTALLYEXTRAPERITONEALREPAIROFASPIGELIANHERNIA Allocco, Frances MD; Reardon, Patrick MD; Saad, Mohamed MD; Dunkin, Brian MD Spigelian hernias are rare and account for up to 2% of abdominal wall hernias. In the past these were repaired using an open technique, but over the past two decades, there have been a growing number of reports of laparoscopic repairs. Over… Continue Reading

Totally Extraperitoneal (tep) Surgery for Inguinal Hernia: Single Port Endo-laparoscopic Surgery (spes) Vs Standard Laparoscopic Surgery
Single port endo-laparoscopic surgery (SPES) has shown much enthusiasm as this procedure is perceived to create an advantage in terms of better cosmesis and less pain as compared to the standard laparoscopic procedures. Comparing SPES and standard TEP is achieved with the clinical outcomes stated below. From May to August 2009, we prospectively compared 20… Continue Reading
