Introduction: Hair loss is a common complaint among women post-bariatric surgery; the degree and etiology are not well-studied. With previously reported data showing increased serum FSH, LH, SHBG, and decreased estradiol, testosterone, and DHEA-S after bariatric surgery [1], we hypothesized that a temporary hypo-estrogenized state is present after surgery, and that questionnaire proxies for estrogen fluctuations (rate of weight loss, vaginal lubrication, sudden resumption of menstruation) would
Introduction: Before we performed hemi double stapling technique (DST) after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG). The method needs about 5cm laparotomy on epigastrium. Now for complete laparoscopic surgery we performe intracorporeal triangular Billroth I (B-I) anastomotic technique after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for gastric cancer as Dr.Takeshi Omori’s method. We report the result.
Methods: After LDG, we make a small incision to remnant stomach and duodenum. We perform anastomosi
Background : Anastomotic leak after anterior resection is a common complication which arises in up to 20% of cases. Preoperative general condition of the patient , level of the anastomosis and duration of operation are considered important contributory factors . Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEMS) has emerged as a safe and effective method to treat many early rectal lesions.
Objective : In this article we describe a minimally invasive approach in three patients with early rectal anast
INTRODUCTION: A virtual translumenal endoscopic surgical trainer (VTESTTM) is being developed to provide a safe and risk-free platform that enables developing and training new procedures and designing and testing new instruments for natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). As new NOTES procedures are being developed in diverse surgical fields, emerging trends and needs must be continually investigated to ensure clinical relevance of the virtual reality simulator. This paper repo
Objective: To evaluate the clinical value and safety of laparoscopic resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (G-GISTs).
Methods: The clinical data of 25 cases of G-GISTs accepted laparoscopic surgery was collected from January 2010 to July 2015 in the department of gastrointestinal surgery, west china hospital.An analysis was performed to evaluate recovery and safety.
Results: The tumors originated from the stomach(n=25) with diameter<5 cm were collceted , the location of tumors
