Single Port Access (spa) Technique
The Single Port Access (SPA) technique offers a novel approach to minimally invasive abdominal surgery. Using standard instrumentation, laparoscopic procedures can be performed entirely through the umbilicus in a similar fashion to standard multiport procedures.Utilizing subcutaneous flaps, low profile trocars and standard instruments, we have demonstrated a platform that allows “independence of motion” for each… Continue Reading

‘lesssons ‘ Learned: Single Centre Experience of Single Port Cholecystectomy
Introduction: Single Port Surgery has been described and published by various authors. A recent consensus meeting and white paper from the Cleveland Clinic gave the acronym LESSS (Laparo- Endoscopic Single Site Surgery) for all such procedures. We present the largest series of single port cholecystectomies to date using the R Port (Tri port). The paper… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Intraoperative Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion Following Radical Total Gastrectomy: A Novel Technique
Objective of technique: Several neo-adjuvant and adjuvant techniques has been described for advanced gastric cancer, including intraoperative hyperthermic chemoperfusion (IOHC). Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) for gastric cancer has also been described, however, concurrent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy followed by IOHC remains unreported. We are reporting laparoscopic IOHC technique for advanced gastric cancer following a LRG. Technique:… Continue Reading

3d Vision Enhances Task Performance Independent of the Surgical Method
BackgroundDespite well-established advantages of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopy lacks of natural stereoscopic depth perception and spatial orientation. Therefore, these 2 parameters appear to represent mayor downsides of minimal-invasive surgery. Still, the importance and overall negative effect of this lack of natural stereoscopic depth perception and spatial orientation has not been clearly demonstrated. The aim of… Continue Reading

Sages Grant Impact on Recipient Academic Career
Introduction: Surgical societies, including SAGES, frequently distribute grant funds to support research in their field as well as to promote the careers of the grant recipients. No objective data supporting the positive impact of grants from a surgical society has been available. We completed a survey of SAGES grant recipients to track academic success and… Continue Reading

The Role of Mini-invasive Surgery in Management of Acute Cholangitis and Other Complications of Gallstone Disease
Aims and objectives: The role of mini-invasive surgery in management of acute cholangitis and other complications of gallstone diseaseBackground: To demonstrate the capability of laparoscopic and small-incision in management of acute cholangitis and other complications of cholelithiasis.Material and methods: Records of 2973 patients who underwent cholecystectomy at Department of General Surgery, Rostov State Medical University… Continue Reading

Role of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Anatomical Lung Resections
INTRODUCTION: Although video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is now widely accepted. However, VATS procedure is seldom used for pulmonary segmental resection. Various patterns of branching are seen for pulmonary arteries and veins in the lung hilum. Because a surgeon appreciates individual anatomy before an operation, an operative risk is reduced and indication is increased.SUBJECTS and METHODS:… Continue Reading

Needlescopic Lung Biopsy in Interstitila Lung Disease Using Two-lung Ventilation Anesthesia with Low Tidal Volume
IntroductionOne-lung ventilation plays a pivotal role in thoracoscopic lung biopsy. However, it has the disadvantages of causing hypoxemia, tracheobronchial trauma and oxidative stress caused by the pulmonary reexpansion, which could be harmful to the postoperative course of interstitial lung disease. We performed needlescopic surgery for interstitial lung disease using two-lung ventilation with low tidal volume… Continue Reading

Needlescopic Resection of Small Pulmonary Nodule After Preoperative Dual Localization with Hook Wire and Lipiodol
IntroductionThe needlescopic surgery using instruments with a diameter of 2-mm is devised to leave minimal scarring and reduce the need for postoperative analgesia. For needlescopic lung biopsy for small pulmonary nodule (< 20mm), accurate and convenient method for preoperative localization is necessary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of combined mammographic… Continue Reading

Endoscopic Axillary Surgery
Introduction: Biopsy of lymph node tissue helps in the staging of breast cancer, providing reliable prognostic information and identifying patients who will benefit from systemic therapy. Endoscopic techniques combined with liposuction have been developed to provide a minimally invasive technique.Methods and procedures: In endoscopic axillary lymph node removal, very small incisions are made in the… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Sigmoidectomy and Anastomotic Leak
This video demonstrates a laparoscopic approach to complex diverticulitis, as well as post-operative anastomotic leak. The patient is a 43 year-old morbidly obese male (BMI 48) who developed diverticulitis with a 9cm intra-abdominal abscess. Despite percutaneous drainage, the patient had continued sepsis requiring surgery. The patient underwent a hand-assist sigmoid resection. This video highlights techniques… Continue Reading

Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Is Safe and Feasible
Objective: Single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new advance wherein laparoscopic surgery is carried out through a single small incision hidden in the umbilicus. Advantages of this technique over standard laparoscopy are still under investigation. The objective of this study is to describe the short term outcomes of SILS cholecystectomies in a single community… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Single-Access Appendectomy
Background: Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been proven to be technically feasible in animal models but still has significant limitations for human application. Single-access transabdominal surgery is a competing alternative which obviates the need for multiple incisions. Looking to minimize the operative trauma and following NOTES principles, we used the umbilicus, an existing… Continue Reading
