Wandering parasite: endoscopic management of hydatid cysts of abdomen encroaching thorax.

Background: Minimal access surgery has opened avenues of hybrid approach for abdominal hydatid cysts extending into thorax. This approach of combined laparoscopy and thoracoscopy should be evaluated for its feasibility and efficacy.

Aim: Present prospective study was designed to highlight the feasibility and utility of endoscopic approach in the management of complex hydatid cyst of the liver and spleen extending into the thorax.

Role of indo-cyanine green (ICG) fluorescence in laparoscopic adrenalectomy: a retrospective review of 55 Cases.

Background: Indo-Cyanine Green Fluorescence is an emerging technology with more frequent use in laparoscopic and robotic surgery. It relies on near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence to demonstrate tissue perfusion with demarcation of tissue planes and vascular pedicles. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of this technology in laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA).
