Outcomes of Single Incision Cholecystectomies in a Non-select Patient Group
Introduction: Over the past two decades, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has replaced open cholecystectomy as the standard of care for benign gallbladder disease. Recently, attempts have been made to remove the gallbladder through single skin incisions to improve the cosmetic, and possibly other surgical outcomes such as pain. This more complex approach is generally thought to be… Continue Reading
Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Clinical Early Stage Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Thoracoscopy Compared with Mediastinoscopy Assisted
Objective:Minimally invasive esophagectomy has been applied wildly for esophageal carcinoma treatment. Thoracoscope-assisted transthoracic esophagectomy(TATTE) and mediastinoscope-assisted transhiatal esophagectomy(MATHE) were two kind of MIE, the objective of this study was to compare these two methods with respect to surgical feasibility and safety. Methods: Single institute experience with MATHE and TATTE was analyzed to assess morbidity, adequacy… Continue Reading
Single Access Transvaginal NOTES Lymphatic Mapping with Colonic Sentinel Node Biopsy in a Porcine Model
Introduction. Endoscopic resection of early stage cancers are limited by the inability to provide lymph node status. If a sentinel node can determine node status, a reliable technique to obtain preoperative node biopsies through natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) would likely have a great impact in clinical application. Our objective was to determine feasibility… Continue Reading
