Operative time and outcome of enhanced recovery after surgery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Background And Objectives: Combining laparoscopy and enhanced recovery provides benefit to short-term outcomes after colorectal surgery. Advances in training and techniques have allowed surgeons to operate on cases that are technically challenging and associated with prolonged operative time. Laparoscopic techniques improve the outcome of enhanced recovery after colorectal surgery; however, there are no specifications on the effect of prolonged operations on the outcome.

Miscarriages following caesarean section-induced extra-uterine adhesions.

A Caucasian lady in her 30s presented with repeated miscarriages following a previous caesarean section. Following ongoing pain and bleeding, and inconclusive imaging, a scan undertaken after her second miscarriage suggested a possible communication through the uterine wall. Subsequent laparoscopy revealed a dense band of adhesions starting from lower segment of uterus and extending all the way to anterior fundus adherent to the anterior abdominal wall.
