Introduction: We analyzed short-term outcome of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP), and also reported on the management of the pancreatic stump.
Patients and methods: We introduced LDP in 2011, and 10 cases were included in this study. Pancreatic resection was performed using laparoscopic linear stapler. For every case, we used a black or green cartridge for more than 10 min. A polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet with fibrin glue was wrapped around the pancreatic stump to prevent the occurrence
Background Laparoscopic pancreatectomy has been gaining acceptance widely with clear mini-invasive advantages. Re-do laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy after laparoscopic pancreatic surgery is a very difficult procedure. The aim of this study is to present the feasibility and safety of re-do laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy after laparoscopic pancreatic surgery.
Methods From September 2013 to December 2014,there were 3 cases undergoing pure laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy with 5 por
Introduction: In France, the vast majority of liver cystic lesions are either simple liver cysts (SC) or hydatid cysts (HC). If symptomatic, SC is best treated by laparoscopic unroofing. A HC is treated by simple cystectomy or pericystectomy. The aim of this study was to review the management strategy in patients who presented with atypical cysts. The results of laparoscopic approach to such patients were analysed.
Methods and Procedures: This is a retrospective review of patients who had liver
Liver cyst is benign disease , but it is needed a surgical treatment when there are symptoms such as the abdominal distension. Laparoscopic fenestration is useful surgical treatment of this disease, but bile duct injury is one of the intraoperative complications that should be careful .In addition, there are some case that bile duct could not be detected because of compression by the huge or multiple liver cyst .We report the case of a polycystic disease of liver for which we performed laparosco
Among intraoperative complications of total laparoscopic hepatectomy (TLH), venous hemorrhage is the most frequent and difficult-to-treat complication. We use a monopolar soft-coagulation devices for not only hemostasis, but also detachment of blood vessels. The aim of this prospective, nonrandomized study was to investigate the potential contribution of a monopolar soft-coagulation device to the limitation of intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing TLH.
Methods: From January 2008 to M
