Umbilical hernias constitute some of the most common surgical diseases addressed by surgeons. Endoscopic techniques have become standard of care together with the conventional open techniques for the treatment of umbilical hernias. Several different approaches were described to achieve laparoscopic sublay repair.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLaparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy has been well established for the management of primary and recurrent inguinal hernias. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has now been accepted as a less invasive alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery. However, commercially available access devices for SILS had disadvantages such as rigidness and crowding.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed to analyze eight patients who underwent parastomal hernia repair between June 2016 and January 2018. All of these patients received modified laparoscopic Sugarbaker hernia repair treatment.
A lumbar hernia is a rare entity, and a bilateral lumbar hernia is much rarer. From May 2015 to October 2017, we treated only three patients with bilateral lumbar hernias. One patient came to the hospital presenting with right-sided abdominal pain, and the other two patients presented with bilateral lumbar masses.

Aim: To explore the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic colonic anastomosis using a degradable stent in a porcine model.
Methods: Twenty Bama mini-pigs were randomly assigned to a stent group (n = 10) and control group (hand-sewn anastomosis, n = 10). The anastomotic completion and operation times were recorded, along with histological examination, postoperative general condition, complications, mortality, bursting pressure, and the average anastomotic circumference (AC).

Objective: To evaluate the application of biological mesh in laparoscopic anti-reflux procedure for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Methods: The clinical data of 20 consecutive GERD patients underwent anti-reflux surgery in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from December 2012 to April 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The laparoscopic hiatal repair with 360 fundoplicaiton was performed and the biological mesh (BiodesignTM, Surgsis) was implanted for reinforcement of hiatal repair.
Background: Intestinal anastomosis is a major technical component of gastrointestinal procedures. We have developed a new procedure of colonic anastomosis with a degradable stent. This article evaluates this procedure.

Methods: Three patients underwent laparoscopic resection of Spiegel lobe associated with left liver lobe. Left hemihepatectomy or left lateral lobectomy was carried out firstly and then Spiegel lobe resected through the left-sided approach.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma.
Methods: The clinical feature, pathological stage, surgical procedure, postoperative recovery and follow-up results of 4 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: A total of 4 cases were successfully performed.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery is advantageous for minimal invasiveness and rapid postoperative recovery. Since the use of laparoscopic hepatectomy in liver resection in the 1990s, it has been performed in a few institutions worldwide. Lack of efficient and safe techniques for liver transaction is the major obstacle preventing from its further development.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of polypropylene mesh-reinforced pancreatojejunostomy on pancreatic leakage.
Methods: Seventeen consecutive patients with paraampullar malignancy received polyprolene mesh-reinforced pancreatodudeonectomy and the Child's method was used to rebuild the alimentary tract.
Results: The mean time of polyprolene mesh-reinforced pancreatojejunostomy was 22 min.

Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of laparoscopic treatment in patients with esophageal hiatal hernia.
Methods: Eleven patients with esophageal hiatal hernia, 9 males and 2 females, with the mean age of 56, accepted laparoscopic treatment. Two cases were treated by hernia repair merely and 9 cases were treated by hernia repair and fundoplication (Nissen's operation) one of which accepted laparoscopic cholecystoectomy at the same time.
Objective: To assess the feasibility, safety, and outcome of laparoscopic liver resection for benign liver tumors.
Methods: Fourteen patients with benign liver tumors, including 11 cases of hepatic hemangioma, 1 case of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia, 1 case of hepatic granulomatous inflammation, and 1 case of liver cyst with hyaline degeneration and calcification underwent laparoscopic liver resection by PMOD.
Results: Hepatectomy was performed successfully under laparoscope in these 14 patients.

Objective: To report the first case of ciliated hepatic foregut cyst in China, and review of literature to introduce the characteristics of this disease for doctors to recognize this disease.
Method: Report the clinical procedure of diagnosis and treatment for the first case of ciliated hepatic foregut cyst in China, and to review the embryologic genesis, incidence, clinical manifestation, radiologic features and therapeutic principle of this disease.
Results: We performed the resection for ciliated hepatic foregut cyst under laparoscopy; the patient recovered well after the procedure.
