Michael Sosin, MD, George Gillian, MD Georgetown University Hospital OBJECTIVE:Findings of sporadic duodenal adenomatous polyps are rare on upper endoscopy. Resection is indicated do to their malignant potential. Duodenal polyps are usually removed endoscopically but may require surgical intervention. The objective of this surgical technology is to describe a robotic approach to resect a duodenal […]
Kurt Roberts, MD Yale University Objective:Providing visibility and access with Retraction is of the upmost importance in laparoscopic surgery. Typically 1 or 2 ports are designated for graspers or other instruments allowing for traction and counter-traction. Reduced port surgery, single incision (SILS) , robotic and natural orifice surgery (NOTES) are clear evidence towards an interest […]

Mark A Casillas, Jr., MD, MS University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine, Department of Surgery BACKGROUND:Transanal endoscopic microsurgical (TEM) resection is associated with improved outcomes compared to transanal excision of rectal lesions. However, TEM equipment requires additional startup cost. Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) was first reported in 2010. The purpose of this study […]
