Tailoring formulation for enhanced phage therapy in canine otitis externa: a cocktail approach targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius.

Canine otitis externa, characterized by the involvement of diverse bacterial species, notably Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, necessitates antibiotic administration as the primary therapeutic approach; however, prolonged treatment often precipitates antibiotic resistance. Therefore, the application of bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents has been of interest recently. However, phage therapy has limitations; its efficacy depends on the lytic capacity of the phage and the emergence of phage resistance, which can be overcome by using phage cocktails.

Single-port laparoscopic Deloyers procedure for tension-free anastomosis after extended left colectomy or subtotal colectomy: A 6-patient case series.

Right colon-to-rectal anastomosis is performed in relatively rare conditions, including after subtotal colectomy or extended left hemicolectomy. One technique of tension-free anastomosis is the Deloyers procedure that includes cranio-caudal rotation of the right colon. As with other colon surgeries, the laparoscopic approach has been adapted for the Deloyers procedure.

Transanal Total Proctocolectomy with Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis for Synchronous Triple Colorectal Cancer.

Transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) has been utilized as a minimally invasive surgery for colorectal cancer. Sylla et al. first reported the use of transanal TME and since then, various platforms have been applied for this procedure.

Pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery for rectal cancer: Ta-TME and CME without abdominal assistance.

Aim: To report our institution's experiences with pure transanal total mesorectal excision (TME) of rectal cancer using single-port equipment and to discuss the feasibility and safety of the technique.

Methods: Between February and December 2017, 12 patients who were selected underwent NOTES TME in our institution. The preoperative assessment included blood analyses with carcinoembryonic antigen serum concentration, full colonoscopy, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and chest.

Abdominal peripheral nerve block as the only anesthetic technique for totally extraperitoneal endoscopic inguinal hernia repair: Two case reports.

Rationale: Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair is a rapidly evolving, minimally invasive treatment modality for inguinal hernia. Compared with open hernia repair, this method requires a smaller incision, has cosmetic advantages, and facilitates rapid recovery and early return to daily activities because of less postoperative pain. Because general anesthesia is essential for TEP hernia repair, it cannot be performed on patients who have an increased risk of developing complications when placed under general anesthesia.

Fibrin glue versus staple mesh fixation in single-port laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair: A propensity score-matched analysis.

Background: Mesh fixation minimizes the risk of recurrence following laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Mesh fixation using staples has been implicated as a cause of chronic inguinal pain. We investigated whether fibrin glue mesh fixation reduces acute or chronic postoperative pain in patients undergoing single-port laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (SP TEP).

Solo-Surgeon Single-Port Laparoscopic Anterior Resection for Sigmoid Colon Cancer: Comparative Study.

Background: To report our experience with solo-surgeon, single-port laparoscopic anterior resection (solo SPAR) for sigmoid colon cancer.

Materials And Methods: Data from sigmoid colon cancer patients who underwent anterior resections (ARs) using the single-port, solo surgery technique (n = 31) or the conventional single-port laparoscopic technique (n = 45), between January 2011 and July 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. In the solo surgeries, making the transumbilical incision into the peritoneal cavity was facilitated through the use of a self-retaining retractor system.

Impact of obesity on the short-term outcomes of single-port laparoscopic colectomy for colorectal cancer in the Asian population: A retrospective cohort study.

Single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) is being increasingly performed for treating colorectal cancer. Here, we aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of SPLS for colorectal cancer in obese patients through a comparison of their short-term outcomes with those of nonobese patients.A total of 323 patients who underwent SPLS for colorectal cancer at our center between March 2009 and August 2014 were enrolled.

Novel method of laparoendoscopic single-site and natural orifice specimen extraction for live donor nephrectomy: single-port laparoscopic donor nephrectomy and transvaginal graft extraction.

Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy (DN) has been established as a useful alternative to the traditional open methods of procuring kidneys. To maximize the advantages of the laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) method, we applied natural orifice specimen extraction to LESS-DN. A 46-year-old woman with no previous abdominal surgery history volunteered to donate her left kidney to her husband and underwent single-port laparoscopic DN with transvaginal extraction.

Transumbilical pure single-port laparoscopic donor nephrectomy.

Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (SPLDN) is a novel, rapidly evolving, minimally invasive treatment modality for kidney transplantation. This method causes minimal parietal injury, has cosmetic advantages, and allows rapid recovery because of low postoperative pain and short hospital stay. Like other abdominal surgeries, when conducted by experienced laparoscopic surgeons, it can meet the same graft requirements as conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Single-port laparoscopic surgery for sigmoid volvulus.

Aim: To report our experience with single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) for sigmoid volvulus (SV).

Methods: Between October 2009 and April 2013, 10 patients underwent SPLS for SV. SPLS was performed transumbilically or through a predetermined stoma site.

Single-port laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann's procedure via the colostomy site.

Background: The aim of this study was to report our initial experience with single-port laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann's procedure (SP-LHR).

Methods: Between December 2009 and March 2014, 23 patients underwent single-port laparoscopic reversal of Hartmann's procedure. Single-port laparoscopic surgeries (SPLS) were performed through the preexisting stoma site.
