Laparoscopic-Assisted Surgery for Stage IIIc of Colorectal Cancer
Objective: Laparoscopic-assisted surgery for advanced cancer of the colon and rectum remains controversial. Our institute has limited indication of laparoscopic-assisted surgery for Stage III of colorectal cancer. N2 is contra-indication for laparoscopic-assisted surgery. But actual pathological findings revealed pN2 in some cases, because of underdiagnosis of lymph node metastasis. The purpose of this study was… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Surgery for Treatment of Large Gastric Bezoars
Background: Gastric bezoars result from the accumulation of foreign ingested material in the form of masses or concretions. Bezoars are rare, being found in less than 1 percent of patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.A large Trichobezoar has been traditionally removed by open surgery, which has entailed an upper abdominal incision. With the advent of laparoscopic… 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

Sentinel Node Navigation for Colorectal Cancer Including Laparoscopic Approach : Adoption of More Practical Methods
Introduction: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping can improve the accuracy of colorectal cancer staging. However, previously described methods, when it comes to laparoscopic procedure in particular, are both time-consuming and annoying because they require additional procedure. The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of modified in-vivo lymphatic mapping, which can be done… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic approach of colonic perforation due to colonoscopy
Background: Iatrogenic perforation due to colonoscopy is the most serious complication of this procedure. Usually this complication requires segmental resection to be resolved. The laparoscopic approach could be an option to minimize the outcome of this complication.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the laparoscopic approach to treat colonic perforations… Continue Reading
