Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy A retrospective review of 30 cases.

Objectives: Pancreatic surgery has been greatly influenced by the advent of laparoscopic surgery and increasing experience in its performance and by advances in techniques and surgical devices. This study aimed to represent two centers' initial experiences in laparoscopic distal pancreatic surgery.

Methods: This study was a bi-centric study including 30 patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy for pancreatic disorders.

Safety and feasibility of laparoscopic adrenalectomy: What is the role of tumour size? A single institution experience.

Background: Although, there are studies in the literature having shown the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic adrenalectomy, there are still debates for tumour size and the requirement of the minimal invasive approach. Our hypothesis was that the use of laparoscopy facilitates minimally invasive resection of large adrenal tumours regardless of tumour size.

Materials And Methods: Within 7 years, 149 patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy at one institution.

Comparison of single port and three port laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura: Clinical comparative study.

Aim: Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has become increasingly popular during the last decades. This prospective study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of single-port laparoscopic splenectomy compared with conventional multiport laparoscopic splenectomy.

Materials And Methods: Between February 2, 2009 and August 29, 2011, a total of 40 patients with the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenic purpura were included to study.

Laparoscopic surgery of the splenic artery and vein aneurysm with spontaneous arteriovenous fistula.

Visceral artery aneurysms are rare and important vascular entities due to the quarter of all cases presented as surgical emergency. Nevertheless, splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is the most common visceral and third most common intra-abdominal artery aneurysm after aorta and iliac artery. SAA accompany splenic vein aneurysm because arteriovenous fistula communication between them is a very rare entity.

A New Era in Minimally Invasive Liver Resection (MILR) Single-Incision Laparoscopic Liver Resection (SIL-LR): The First Two Cases.

Laparoscopy has gained a place in everyday surgical routine as an alternative surgical approach that decreases morbidity and postoperative hospitalization. Single port laparoscopic surgery has been introduced as a further development of laparoscopy. The feasibility and safety of single port laparoscopy is under extensive evaluation in specialized laparoscopic centers.

Pure SILS Floppy Nissen Fundoplication with Hiatal Repair: A Case Report.

Background. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has recently became popular on behalf of inventing less invasive procedures. In this paper, we present a case of Pure SILS Nissen Fundoplication.

SILS Incisional Hernia Repair: Is It Feasible in Giant Hernias? A Report of Three Cases.

Aim. Three incisional ventral abdominal wall hernias were repaired by placing a 20 × 30 cm composite mesh via single incision of 2 cm. Methods.

Our early experiences with single-incision laparoscopic surgery: the first 32 patients.

Background: Most of the laparoscopic surgeons have been attempting to reduce incisional morbidity and improve cosmetic outcomes by using fewer and smaller ports. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a new laparoscopic procedure. Herein we would like to present our experiences.

N-butyl cyanoacrylate versus conventional suturing for fixation of meshes in an incisional hernia model.

Background: Chronic pain and related complications reported after the use of perforating fixation devices in hernia surgery have led to the use of tissue sealants. Fibrin sealant is a feasible option for mesh fixation; however data on cyanoacrylate glues are limited.

Methods: 32 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups and a 1.

Needloscopy-assisted transvaginal cholecystectomy.

The reasons for hybrid surgery are various: endoscopic peritoneoscopy under laparoscopic visualization provides a safe way to improve pure natural orifice endoscopic surgery with less abdominal incision. Herein we are presenting a hybrid technique composed of advantages of needloscopy and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Two women with symptomatic cholelithiasis have undergone successful needloscopy-assisted transvaginal cholecystectomies.
