Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are localized mainly in the stomach, and the therapeutic approach is surgical resection. Laparoscopy can be performed for tumors located in the greater curvature of the stomach. Among the treatment alternatives, a single-incision laparoscopic technique is used more frequently than standard laparoscopy due to the successful results of laparoscopic surgery.

In total, 40 male Wistar rats were taken into this study. The control group (n = 20) received subcutaneous saline injection.

Purpose: We investigated the effect of laparoscopic v open cholecystectomy on acute-phase reactants.
Patients And Methods: Fifty patients were randomized to laparoscopic (Group 1) and 50 to open (Group 2) cholecystectomy. Preoperative and postoperative values for acute-phase reactants (ceruloplasmin, fibrinogen, Westergren sedimentation rate, alpha-1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and C-reactive protein) in blood samples were compared.
Background: Direct insertion of the trocar is an alternative method to Veress needle insertion for the creation of pneumoperitoneum. The safety of direct disposable shielded trocar insertion for the creation of pneumoperitoneum was assessed by comparing with Veress needle insertion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Methods: One thousand five hundred patients undergoing LC with pneumoperitoneum were included in this study.
