Colorectal Cancer Risk Reduction in Inflammatory Bowel Disease with Aminosalicylate Therapy: A Meta-Analysis and Comparison to Colorectal Cancer Risk in the General Population
BackgroundWorldwide, the incidence rates for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) vary from 0.5 to 24.5 per 100,000 people (0.012%). It has been estimated that the risk of CRC in IBD patients increases by 0.5% per year after eight years of the disease. Many recent studies proposed aminosalicylates as chemopreventive agents for colorectal cancer (CRC) development in… Continue Reading

Combined Anterior and Posterior Approach for Stapless Laparoscopic Splenectomy; Towards Safe and Economic Laparoscopic Splenectomy
Background: Intraoperative bleeding is the main cause of conversion during laparoscopic splenectomy (LS). We present the advantages of implementing the combined anterior and posterior approach together with early splenic artery clipping and use of vessel sealing device to avoid the use of costy staplers. Methods:We have performed a total of 24LS in a 2-year period… Continue Reading

Combined Laparoscopic and Intraoperative Enteroscopic Management of Benign Intestinal Polyposis in Peutz-jeghers Syndrome – a Case Series
Introduction: Peutz-Jeghers syndrome is a rare, inherited benign intestinal polyposis syndrome that has historically required multiple laparotomies throughout the patient’s lifetime. Frequent endoscopic screening and resection of the hamartomatous polyps reduces the risk of local complications such as intestinal obstruction or intussusception. In certain situations, an endoscopic polypectomy may not be technically possible and a… Continue Reading

Combining Single Incision Laparoscopy and NOTES to Minimize Trauma for Advanced Procedures: Gastric Bypass in a Porcine Model
Introduction: Despite potential advantages of hybrid-NOTES Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), previous research demonstrated its limitation in human cadavers and the strong need for laparoscopic assistance during NOTES for advanced procedures. We assumed that the combination of further knowledge, new instruments and techniques would offer opportunities to perform advanced laparoscopic surgery applying single incision and natural… Continue Reading

Common Bile Duct Exploration in Decline: Majority of These Procedures Are Done in Non-teaching Hospitals in the Us.
BACKGROUND: Common bile duct (CBD) exploration used to be one of the relatively frequent procedures in armamentarium of the general surgeon. With raise of minimally invasive techniques one may expect diminished needs and fewer indications for that surgery. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine nationwide trends of cholecystectomy and common bile duct… Continue Reading

Communication Problems Across Surgical Patients\’ Care Pathways
Introduction: Evidence suggests that poor information transfer and communication practices are a leading cause of medical errors and adverse events. Despite this, little is known about what these communication failures are, why they occur and how to prevent them. We conducted an interview study to identify information transfer and communication problems across the entire surgical… Continue Reading

Comparation Between Laparoscopy Assisted Gastrectomy D2 Lymhp Node Dissection and Open Procedure for Gastric Cancer in Colombia
INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the morbidity and mortality of laparoscopy assisted gastrectomy and D2 lymph node disecction and compare with the open surgery in a period of 3 years in patients with advanced gastric cancer in a one institucion in colombia.The gastric cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide in our country is the first… Continue Reading

Comparative Pateint Reported Well Being After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Performed with or Without Energised Dissection-A Case Controlled Study
Objective of StudyPost-operative pain, fatigue, circadian disturbances & well-being are cardinal patient reported outcome (PRO) measures indicating desired/ expected Health related Quality of Life (HrQoL) improvement after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC). These PROs result from a cascade of inflammatory and metabolic stress responses to surgery. Energised dissection (ED) in LC may excite these inflammatory & stress… Continue Reading
Comparative Patient Reported Outcomes in Laparoscopic Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh Repair for Ventral Hernia with or Without Defect Closure – A 9-year Follow Up Case Controlled Study
Objective of StudyIntra-peritoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) is the gold standard technique of laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR), a ‘standard of care’ day care procedure. We have reported vest over pant closure of defect (VOPCOD) preceding IPOM in LVHR raising debate of anatomical restoration for functional compliance versus compromise with the ‘tension free repair’ principle. Hence… Continue Reading

Comparison Between Robotic and Laparoscopic Gastrectomy with Extraperigastric Lymphnode Dissection for Advanced Gastric Cancer
BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy with extraperigastric (D2) lymphnode dissection for advanced gastric cancer have been performed and recommended as the standard operation in Korea and Japan. Although laparoscopy gastrectomy is considered one of the minimally invasive surgeries, widespread use of this technique is limited because of the some technical difficulties. Robotic surgery was adopted to improve some… Continue Reading
Comparison of Laparoscopic Primary Repair and Open Repair Techniques for Small Ventral Hernias.
Epigastric, umbilical, incisional, parastomal and trocar site hernias are all “ventral” hernias in surgical practice. The use of synthetic materials for repair of ventral hernias tends to be the golden standard. However, there are some situations where the use of a mesh is either unnecessary or contraindicated. Furthermore, these patients should still be given the… Continue Reading

Comparison of Open Live Donor Nephrectomy, Laparoscopic Live Donor Nephrectomy, and Hand-Assisted Live Donor Nephrectomy: A Cost-effectiveness Analysis
INTRODUCTION: Live donor kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for end-stage renal failure. Open Donor Nephrectomy (ODN) was the standard until the introduction of Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy (LDN) in 1995. Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy (HALDN)was added shortly thereafter. While decreasing post-operative analgesic requirements and speeding return to normal activity, the laparoscopic techniques are associated… Continue Reading

Comparison of Short-term and Long-term Outcomes of the Colon-lifting Method and Standard 5-ports Laparoscopic Colectomy for Colorectal Cancer: A Case-matched Control Study
BACKGROUND : A standard laparoscopic-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer is often performed with five ports. We developed the colon-lifting method (CLM) in 2000, and were able to perform the laparoscopic-assisted colectomy with total 3 or 4 ports by using CLM.PURPOSE : To evaluate the utility of CLM, the outcomes of it were compared with standard… Continue Reading

Comparison of Staple-line Leakage and Hemorrhage in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy with or Without the Use of Bioabsorbable Seamguard ®
Introduction: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has recently been recognized by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery as a primary procedure for the surgical management of morbid obesity. Leaking or hemorrhaging at the staple-line are two feared complications associated with this procedure. Bioabsorbable staple-line buttressing materials have been suggested to decrease bleeding and minimize… Continue Reading
