Laparoscopic lumbar discectomy is an extension of two accepted technologies, laparoscopy and percutaneous discectomy. A young male with an L5-S1 disc herniation had the anterior aspect of the lumbosacral disc exposed laparoscopically. The disc space was entered with a trephine under fluoroscopic and video control. The discectomy was carried out with curettes and rongeurs. Evoked potentials monitored continuously, reverted to normal with decompression of the S1 nerve root. This was accomplished in an outpatient setting with minimal use of oral narcotics.

Background: Devices that help educate young doctors and enable safe, minimally invasive surgery are needed. Eureka is a surgical artificial intelligence (AI) system that can intraoperatively highlight loose connective tissues (LCTs) in the dissected layers and nerves in the surgical field displayed on a monitor. In this study, we examined whether AI navigation (AIN) with Eureka can assist trainees in recognizing nerves during colorectal surgery.

Pyeloplasty at an early age (<2 years) can be treated by a flank open, laparoscopy or robotic approach. We want to demonstrate our strategy and how to construct a very inexpensive pyelostent from a Foley tube. The Ottoni catheter is made from a Foley tube, sectioning the proximal end keeping a plastic circular basement for fixation to the skin.
