Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic liver surgery is becoming more accepted, but Laparoendoscopic Single-Site Surgery (LESS) for liver procedures needs further investigation.
- Seven patients underwent LESS minor hepatectomies, with various resection types performed and promising data on operative time and blood loss.
- This study concludes that LESS minor hepatectomy is a safe and effective alternative to traditional methods for select patients with small malignant tumors, ensuring oncologic safety.
We describe the development of a simple and highly sensitive electrochemical (amperometric) sensing of bilirubin based on bilirubin oxidase (BOx) incorporated into the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This nanoelectrode platform with self-assembled enzyme is highly sensitive toward the electrochemical oxidation of bilirubin and increased the bilirubin concentration linearly from 1 to 5000 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9960, and an apparent Michaelis constant (K(M,app)) of 44 ± 0.

The aim of this study is to analyze factors which may impact on conversion rates, and to analyze our outcomes following implementation of a departmental strategy in reducing conversion rates.
Materials And Methods: 122 patients with acute cholecystitis were considered for laparoscopic cholecystectomy from July 2003 to July 2007.
