The application of a vascular closure device for closing a gastrostomy opening used for procedural access.

Objective: To study the feasibility of applying the Perclose ProGlide vascular closure device (PPVCD) for closing a gastrostomy opening for procedural access in the swine stomach in order to prevent peritoneal leakage.

Methods: The study included four experimental groups: one manual suture ( = 10), two manual sutures ( = 10), one PPVCD suture ( = 10), and two PPVCD sutures ( = 5). In the two PPVCD sutures group, the "pre-close" technique was used.

Laparoscopic Repair of a Vesicosigmoid Fistula Secondary to Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a safe and effective treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, in some cases, it can lead to life-threatening complications. In particular, morcellation of the resected adenoma may be a very dangerous procedure when performed without clear visualization.
