Objectives: We developed a new Bidirectional Approach of Video Assisted Neck Surgery (BAVANS) for endoscopic thyroid cancer surgery, and have already reported that cranio-caudal approach is extremely useful for endoscopic complete lymph node dissection (CLND) around the trachea. We consider BAVANS is better endoscopic technique for CLND than conventional open surgery. In 2014, we upgraded this original BAVANS via introducing a new rigid endoscope with variable direction of view. We’d like to rep
Introduction: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) to treat gastric cancer has gained popularity over the recent years due to its benefits associated with a minimally invasive approach, and due to its oncological results comparable to those observed after open total gastrectomy. However, performing the esophagojejunal anastomosis (EJA) is technically difficult and remains a major source of serious postoperative complications, such as leakage.
Objectives: To describe the surgical technique and r
Introduction: Since the advent of the Laparoscopic approach mortality and morbidity have decreased in bariatric surgery. There are conflicting studies for and against the shorter stay. Most of the studies are a compilation of data from various sources.
The present study prospectively worked with intention to treat. All consecutives patients scheduled to have primary laparoscopic Roux-En Y gastric bypass(LGBP) or sleeve gastrectomy(LSG) under care of single bariatric surgeon were recruited. All
Introduction
morbid obesity is the second most common cause of preventable death in worldwide. Bariatric surgery has been proven the effectiveness in weight reducing and comorbidity resolution. However performing bariatric surgery in super-super obesity (BMI >60 kg/m2) is very difficult because of huge liver and large volume of visceral fat. There has been no conclusion of best technique for these patient. Therefore this study was designed for evaluation the outcome of bariatric surger
BACKGROUND: Gastric bypass patients can present in the acute setting with clinical symptoms of obstruction such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Internal hernias (IH) are an important cause of small bowel obstruction (SBO). Identifying the cause of SBO on radiographic imaging is crucial as internal hernias are a known surgical emergency.
STUDY DESIGN: Data from laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients that presented with signs and symptoms of SBO from 2010 to 2014 were retrospecti
