Laparoscopic necrosectomy for acute necrotising pancreatitis: Retrospective analysis of a decade-long experience from a tertiary centre.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of minimally invasive surgery for the management of necrotising pancreatitis in acute settings and to propose tailor-made approaches to deal with various locations of pancreatic necrosis.

Patients And Methods: Three hundred and thirteen patients underwent laparoscopic management of necrotising pancreatitis in this study period from January 2010 to June 2021, out of which 122 patients underwent minimally invasive necrosectomy for acute necrotising pancreatitis. The remaining 191 patients underwent laparoscopic internal drainage in the form of cystogastrostomy/cystojejunostomy for walled-off pancreatic necrosis.

A randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of laparoscopic-guided transversus abdominis plane block in patients undergoing laparoscopic IPOM plus.

Introduction: Ventral hernia repairs, particularly laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR), have become common procedures among general surgeons worldwide. Despite the benefits of LVHR, acute postoperative pain remains a significant concern. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks have been employed to alleviate postoperative pain in various laparoscopic procedures.

Extended View: Totally Extra Peritoneal (e-TEP) Approach for Ventral and Incisional Hernia-Early results from a single center.

Background: Laparoscopy for ventral hernia repair is now an established technique with its proven benefits of less pain, early recovery, low-recurrence rate as compared to open repair. Several techniques have been described such as IPOM, MILOS, TES, EMILOS, SCOLA, e-TEP. e-TEP was originally conceptualized as an alternative approach to inguinal hernia in difficult cases (obese, previous scars) and for training surgery residents.

Robotic transduodenal excision of duodenal duplication cyst: Case report and review.

Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that generally present with abdominal pain and vomiting or may have nonspecific symptoms. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment owing to possible complications, including malignancy. However, difficult locations like the periampullary region are problematic and major surgical procedures, for example, pancreaticoduodenectomy is necessary for total resection.

Laparoscopic longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy and modified Frey's operation for chronic calcific pancreatitis.

Background: Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating disease presenting with pain, diabetes and steatorrhoea. Surgery offers better long-term pain relief than other interventions, but there is still uncertainty about the optimal surgical procedure and approach and a lack of long-term follow-up data in patients with chronic calcific pancreatitis selected for laparoscopic surgical treatment.

Methods: This was an observational cohort study of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for chronic calcific pancreatitis between January 2006 and April 2017, and had completed a minimum follow-up of 1 year at a tertiary-care teaching institute.
