Laparoscopic Mesh Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse
The laparoscopic repair of rectal prolapse has been well described. Patients with rectal prolapse often, if properly evaluated, will have a concomitant anterior pelvic dysfunction. We present the video of a 69-year-old female with a history of rectal prolapse that underwent a perineal proctectomy only to recur within a year of surgery. On exam she… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication Assessment: Task Analysis as Model for the Development of a Procedural Checklist
Objective: Learning an advanced laparoscopic procedure is a complex process that requires clinical exposure, direct teaching, and deliberate practice. However, expert laparoscopic surgeons automate their knowledge making it difficult to teach all of the incremental steps. The aim of this study was to deconstruct the operative steps of a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) and develop… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding: 30-day Morbidity and Mortality as Assessed by Prospective, Multi-center, Risk-Adjusted ACS-NSQIP Data
Background: Previous comparisons of open and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (ORYGB, LRYGB), and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) have been limited by a lack of unique CPT codes for LRYGB and LAGB. Specific codes have been available for LRYGB since 2005, and for LAGB since 2006. This study compares the short-term safety of these procedures,… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Splenomegaly:Long Term Follow up of 61 patients
Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of laparoscopic splenectomy(LS) for splenomegaly. There is little published data on the efficacy of LS for the treatment of splenomegaly associated cytopenias. The aim of this study is to determine long-term outcomes following LS for splenomegaly. Methods: Retrospective review of patients undergoing LS between 8/95 and 5/05. Splenomegaly… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Surgery for Crohn’s Disease. an experience with more than 300 cases.
Laparoscopic resection for Crohn’s disease has had a slow adoption rate in gastrointestinal surgery. This is not unexpected considering the inflammatory nature of the disease process and the need for reoperative surgery. This study is a retrospective analysis of a prospective database from one surgeon at the Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY. Since 1993,… Continue Reading
