In eight Japanese patients, three different laparoscopic procedures were used to excise an early gastric carcinoma; partial resection in four, intragastric resection of the gastric mucosa in two, and laparoscopic-assisted distal partial gastrectomy with the abdominal wall-elevating method in two patients. Histological examinations revealed that the lesions ...

Minimally invasive surgery is widely used in benign gynecologic diseases and may be used in malignancies. We performed a single-port access laparoscopy staging - bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, laparoscopy-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, infracolic omentectomy, and washing cytology - in a borderline ovarian tumor. The ...

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to review our experience with the hand-assisted laparoscopic management of duodenal tumors with no or low malignant potential and to compare this approach with published case reports of purely laparoscopic local duodenal resection. Patients and Methods: Eight cases of ...

Introduction:We determined the status of Canadian training during senior residency in laparoscopic, robotic and endourologic surgery.Methods:Fifty-six residents in their final year of urology residency training were surveyed in person in 2007 or 2008.Results:All residents completed the survey. Most residents (85.7%) train at centres performing more than 50 ...

Minimally invasive surgery is designed to provide a friendlier surgical therapy, in terms of faster recovery times, improved cosmetic results, and reduced postoperative pain. In recent years, a new genre for exploring the abdominal cavity without incisions has been developed. Incisionless surgery is considered the next frontier in minimally invasive surgery. The idea is to use natural orifices as ...

Operative approach for right colectomy has progressed substantially in last decades, by the application of laparoscopy in colorectal surgery. Single-port (SP) laparoscopic surgery is one of the newest branches of advanced laparoscopy. A 29-year-old woman with ileocecal Crohn's disease underwent a totally laparoscopic transumbilical SP right colectomy, ...

Robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) has become a widely accepted and applied surgical method of localized prostate cancer treatment. Initial studies suggest a shorter learning curve for RALP when compared to conventional laparoscopic prostatectomy. Although dexterity for the RALP procedure is increased by the da Vinci ...

We present our results in terms of feasibility, safety and efficacy of flexible pneumocystoscopy during double J stenting in patients undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP). The patient is placed on the flank at a 45 degrees angle. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty according to the Anderson-Hynes technique is carried out by transperitoneal ...

Introduction:Laparoscopic techniques are difficult to master, especially for surgeons who did not receive such training during residency. To help urologists master challenging laparoscopic skills, a unique 5-day mini-residency (M-R) program was established at the University of California, Irvine. The first 101 participants in this program were evaluated on ...

In this report, I would like to explain the latest data from the 7th National Survey 2004, by the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery (1). Next, I will explain you the comment on laparoscopic gastric cancer operation, in particular. We perform the following 3 surgical procedures. (1) Intragastric method (2) Laparoscopic lesion lifting method (3) ...

The current gold standard treatment for localized prostate cancer remains open radical prostatectomy. From 1992, several teams have tried to explore less invasive surgical access. The first robotically assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) case was reported in 2000. Enhancement of the ergonomics and optimization of the surgical ...

In this work, the authors designed, built, and tested a novel port camera system for single port access (SPA) laparoscopic surgery. This SPA Port Camera device integrates the monitor, laparoscopic camera, and light source into an inexpensive, portable cannula port. The device uses a 2-channel SPA port inserted through an umbilical ...

A technique for laparoscopically assisted resection of umbilical structures in foals was developed. Eleven foals ranging from 8 to 42 days old underwent this procedure. Results of bacteriologic culture of umbilical structures were positive in 7 foals. Mean duration of anesthesia was 99 minutes, of which the initial 20 to 25 minutes were typically devoted ...

Background:Endoscopic access to the proximal gastrointestinal tract may prove difficult for a variety of anatomic reasons. Under laparoscopic visualization, trocars can be placed into the stomach with the subsequent introduction of a flexible endoscope directly into the body of the stomach. The purpose of this study was to describe this technique and ...
