Comparative Analysis of the Optical Characteristics of a Fixed-Angle, Flexible-tip, and Variable-view Laparoscope
Objective: Standard rigid laparoscopes have a fixed-angle of view and flexible-tip laparoscopes require external deflection of the tip to alter the viewing angle; therefore requiring additional room for maneuverability in restricted spaces. The purpose of this study is to compare the optical properties and characteristics of fixed-angled laparoscopes and an externally deflectable, flexible-tip laparoscope to… Continue Reading

Comparing the Learning Curves of Minimally Invasive Biliary-enteric Anastomosis Using Laparoscopy or Robot Assistance
OBJECTIVE: To test whether assistance with the da Vinci surgical system improves the learning curve for a complex minimally invasive (MIS) operation over laparoscopy alone using an ex-vivo model of biliary enteric anastomosis. METHODS: An ex-vivo model for choledocho-jejunostomy (CDJ) was created using specimens of porcine liver that included an intact extrahepatic biliary system and… Continue Reading
Comparision of Outcomes After Laparoscopic and Open Distal Pancreatectomies
Introduction: The objective of our study is to compare results of Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy (LDP) and Open Pancreatectomies (OP) performed at Staten Island University Hospital. Despite the first case (LDP) being reported over a decade ago, fewer than 300 cases have been added to the world literature. The largest series to date is the multicenter… Continue Reading

Comparison of Laparoscopic Cbd Exploration,ercp and Open Choledocholithotomy for Large Cbd Calculi
ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDCBD calculi is a common complication of cholelithiasis. ERCP and open choledocholithotomy are the two common procedures used to deal with this problem.Laparoscopic choledocholithotomy is technically demanding procedure because itrequires fine endo suturing but at the same time more beneficial and result oriented than the other two methods. In this study laparoscopic CBD exploration was… Continue Reading
Comparison of Laparoscopic Hepaticojejunostomy and Open Hepaticojejunostomy in Benign Extra Hepatic Biliary Tree Pathologies
ABSTRACT BackgroundStrictures of common bile duct and other extra hepatic biliary tree pathologies are sometimes encountered in surgical practice. The aim of the study is to provide in data to establish whether laparoscopic approach for hepaticojejunostomy is better than open hepaticojejunostomy. MethodThe data presented in this paper is obtained from a single centre and performed… Continue Reading
