CRITICAL VIEW OF SAFETY: A PROSPECTIVE SURGICAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY - DOES IT HELP TO PREVENT IATROGENIC LESIONS?

Background: The incidence of biliary duct injuries remains higher in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in comparison to open surgery. The Critical View of Safety (CVS) was introduced by Strasberg as a strategy for reducing this catastrophic complication. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate how often an adequate CVS is achieved during LC, the determining factors for its success, and the associated surgical outcomes.

LAPAROSCOPIC PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CATHETER PLACEMENT WITH RECTUS SHEATH TUNNELING: A ONE-PORT SIMPLIFIED TECHNIQUE.

Background: The success of peritoneal dialysis depends on the proper placement and functional longevity of the dialysis catheter. Laparoscopic implantation of a catheter through a rectus sheath tunneling can minimize the risks of catheter failure.

Aims: This study aims to describe one-port simplified technique for laparoscopic placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter with rectus sheath tunneling.
