We present our series of 46 Laparoscopic adrenalectomies (LA) for large adrenal tumors (> 5 cm) performed from July 2003 till September 2009. The department of endocrinology primarily evaluated these patients. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CECT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were relied upon in all cases to look for the size of the gland, […]
Introduction: Primary splenic cyst is a relatively rare disease, and the majority of cases are classified as epithelial cysts. Non-parasitic cysts are classified as primary (true, epithelial), lined by an epithelial cover (epidermoid, dermoid, and mesothelial) or endothelial cover (hemangioma, lymphangioma), and secondary (pseudocysts, non-epithelial), which are usually post traumatic in origin. Laparotomy with splenectomy […]
TITLE: A Review of Perioperative Complications In 120 Consecutive Community Based Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomies INTRODUCTION: Throughout the mid 1990’s and early 2000’s numerous university programs compared perioperative complications in laparoscopic donor to the gold standard open technique in order to validate the emerging standard of care for nephrectomies. As innovation becomes the norm, an important […]
Laparoscopic approach is the gold standard for treatment of symptomatic splenic cysts and unroofing is the best accepted procedure . There is currently a trend to reduce the invasiveness of minimally invasive procedures. Single port access is alternative to conventional laparoscopy but no reports have yet been published in relation to splenic cysts. AIM: To […]
Laparoscopic approach is the gold standard for splenectomy . There is currently a trend to reduce the invasiveness of minimally invasive procedures. Single port access is alternative to NOTES but no reports have yet been published in relation to the spleen. AIM: To describe the SAP technique for splenectomy MAT. & METH.. 2 patients were […]
