Efficacy of Turmeric (curcumin) in Pain and Postoperative Fatigue After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – a Double Blind, Randomized Placebo Controlled Study
Objective of StudyPopularity of laparoscopic surgery owes largely to improved patient reported outcomes (PRO). Postoperative pain and fatigue are important indices of return to activity based quality of life PROs. Turmeric has been successfully used in India as a monotherapy for traumatic pain & fatigue. Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric has anti-inflammatory / anti-oxidant… Continue Reading

Human Vital Amniotic Membrane Reduces Adhesions to a Polypropylene Mesh and Suture Fixation in Experimental Ipom Repair in Rats
Introduction: Various coatings have been proposed to avoid adhesion formation to meshes and fixation devices used for intraabdominal peritoneal onlay repair (IPOM). Despite the undeniable progress of product development in the field, related complications such as ileus and pain are still frequent. Avital amniotic membrane (AM) has been used as an effective anti-adhesive coating in… Continue Reading

3-ccd (charge Coupled Device) Image Enhancement for Bowel Ischemia
Introduction: Determination of bowel perfusion in cases of strangulating hernias, SMA occlusion, and other ischemic states is currently a subjective decision of surgeons. 3-CCD image enhancement allows objective and quantitative criteria to be included in a surgeon’s decision as to whether bowel resection is warranted secondary to ischemia. 3-CCD technology separates visible light into its… Continue Reading

Analysis of Tissue Damage Caused By Ultrasonically Activated Device for Laparoscopic Surgeries
Introduction: It has been known that ultrasonically activated devices (USAD) cause tissue planes to separate ahead of the blade tip and described as “distal drilling” phenomenon of the device seen during surgeries. “Cavitational bubbles” generated under transient fluctuation of pressure within tissues have been thought to account for this phenomenon. Meanwhile, collapse of cavitation bubbles… Continue Reading

Role of Interleukin-6 (il-6) in the Growth of Ct26 Colorectal Cancer in a Murine Model
PURPOSE: This study is designed to investigate the role of surgery-induced levels of cytokines in affecting proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells. Clinical standards in the management of colon cancer and surgery-related differences in various cytokines have been predicted to correlate with the degree of trauma afflicted during surgery, ultimately impacting tumor growth and… Continue Reading

Emergency Surgery for Colonic Diverticulitis: Differences Between Right-sided and Left-sided Disease in an Asian Population
AbstractIntroductionDiverticulitis in Asians differs significantly from their Western counterparts in various aspects. This study was performed to review the spectrum of surgery and early outcome of patients who had acute diverticulitis and to identify factors predicting morbidity and mortality. The secondary aim was to compare right and left sided disease. MethodsA retrospective review of all… Continue Reading

Incisionless Laparoscopic Surgery for Colorectal Cancer ~hybrid NOTES Technique Applied to Traditional Laparoscopic Colorectal Resection~
Traditional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer is commonly defined as the form of laparoscopy-assisted surgery with a mini-laparotomy for specimen retrieval. This mini-laparotomy is often the cause of postoperative pain, wound infection, and other pain-related complications. We have developed a new technique of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. This procedure, called “Incisionless Lap”, is a… Continue Reading

Post Colonoscopy Colonic Intussusception Reduced Via a Laparoscopic Approach: A Case Report
Colonic intussusception in adults is uncommon and intussusception after colonoscopy is rare. We present a case of colo-colonic intussusception that was successfully treated by laparoscopic reduction. In this case report, we identified a patient who presented to the emergency room with abdominal pain and radiographic evidence of intussusception. METHOD: A 32 year old healthy male… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic-Assisted Rectal Surgery Using the Simple Rectum Catcher Device
INTRODUCTION: In the case of laparoscopic surgery, it is often very difficult to perform total mesorectal excision and cut the bowel being occluded after irrigating the rectal lumen, particularly in the narrow laparoscopic view of the pelvic cavity. To resolve these problems, we applied our original Rectum Catcher to laparoscopic-assisted high and lower rectal surgery… Continue Reading

Less Invasive Surgery on the Patients with Severe Constipation Includiing the Splenic Flexure Type
INTRODUCTION Until now, the operation for severe constipation have seldom been performed, because severe constipation was most common in the elderly or the institutionalized patients, and in patients with a variety neurologic disorders. Recently, we have been able to perform less invasive surgery on the the patients with severe constipation. In all cases we achieved… Continue Reading

When Staplers Misfire: Endoscopic Rescue of the Low Pelvic Anastomosis
Over the past few decades, the circular end-to-end stapler has gained wide acceptance amongst gastrointestinal surgeons particularly for its utility in the creation of highly reliable, low colorectal anastomoses. Intraoperative complications associated with the device are infrequent but mainly include bleeding, leaks, and difficult insertion or extraction with resultantbowel injury. Another technical dilemma mentioned only… 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

3d CT Navigation for Single Umbilical Incision Laparoscopic Appendectomy
Introduction: Laparoscopic appendectomy is generally performed with 3 ports system. We have performed single umbilical incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SUILA) using a wound retractor without ports from the year 2006. We studied the cases of three-dimensional CT (3DCT) to demonstrate the anatomical location of appendix clearly and made use of 3DCT for SUILA. Materials and Methods:… Continue Reading

Circular Stapled Transanal Rectal Resection, a Useful Technique in Treating Rectal Intussusception and Rectocele. Our Experience of a Single Center with 23 Cases.
Objectives: Rectocele and rectal intussusception can lead to mechanical obstruction with difficulty or inability to void formed faeces. Rectocele and intussusception are widespread, often asymptomatic and coexisting with other pelvic alterations like enterocele, hyperdescending perineum and genital prolapsed. The role of each alteration in Obstructed Defecation Syndrome (ODS) is unclear. The Circular Stapled Transanal Rectal… Continue Reading
