Ureteral identification with indocyanine green in laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Introduction: Fluorescence-guided surgery has emerged as a complement of traditional laparoscopic surgery with the advantage that is adaptable to existent platforms. The purpose of this article is to describe our technique for ureteral identification with indocyanine green (ICG) during laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Materials And Surgical Technique: We report a case series of all patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery and ureteral injection of ICG in a private third level hospital.

Single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass as a second step after sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: After sleeve gastrectomy, many surgical options are available in patients with insufficient weight loss. Duodenal switch is typically considered the operation that results in higher weight loss, although it is, perhaps unjustly, considered technically difficult and may be accompanied by severe side effects. Single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy is a simplification of the duodenal switch that may behave as a standard biliopancreatic diversion but is easier and quicker to perform.
