Background And Study Aims: The intraoperative use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a safe, single-stage option for the management of concomitant gallstones (GS) and common bile duct stones (CBDS). This study aims to compare between 2 techniques of combined laparoendoscopic management, which are laparoendoscopic Rendez-vous (LC/LERV) technique and standard ERCP after the completion of LC intraoperative endoscopic sphincterotomy (IOES).
Patients And Methods: Patients with GS and suspected CBDS were included. They were divided into 2 groups; LC/LERV and LC/IOES. Both groups were compared for failure of endoscopic sphincterotomy/stone extraction, operative time, conversion rate, mortality/morbidity, and length of hospital stay.
Results: Between October 2007 and February 2010, 98 patients with GS and CBDS were eligible for inclusion in the study. They were prospectively randomized into 2 groups; LC/LERV (N=45) and LC/IOES (N=53). There were no differences in preoperative parameters between both groups. There was a significant difference in operative time (shorter for LC/IOES). No difference was noted in success/failure rate, post-ERCP pancreatitis.
Conclusions: Both Standard ERCP after the completion of LC and LC/LERV are valid single-session management for CBD stones, but LC-ERCP may be preferred.

Comparative analysis of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery and versus conventional laparoscopic surgery in adnexectomy: A systematic review and metaanalysis of surgical outcome.

Although the removal of the adnexa technically removes more tissue, it may require less fine manipulation and dissection than cystectomy. Secondary to this, we sought to measure the effectiveness and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) versus conventional laparoscopy (CLS). We search six databases to find studies comparing LESS and CLS for ovarian lesions where removal of the entire ovary, with or without the fallopian tube, is necessary.

Different techniques have been proposed to manage Cholecysto-choledocholithiasis (CCL) advantageously in one stage. Among these, Laparoendoscopic Rendezvous (LERV) addresses the CCL issue with a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with insertion of a guide wire into the common bile duct through an incision of the cystic duct, followed by the clearance of the bile duct carried out by the endoscopists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of the one-stage vs.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of non-fixation versus fixation of meshes in laparoendoscopic repair of M3 inguinal hernias in terms of recurrence, postoperative pain, and surgical complications.
Summary Background Data: International guidelines recommend mesh fixation for large M3 inguinal hernias during laparoendoscopic repairs due to high recurrence rates. However, emerging experimental and registry data suggest that anatomically shaped, rigid and three-dimensional meshes may maintain stability without fixation.

In the 21st century, the management of groin hernias (GHs) has evolved from watchful waiting (WW) to robotic hernia repair (RHR). The present study interrogates the status of robotics in the context of current repairs and provides one author's perspectives. A systematic review was undertaken using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines for studies comparing open (OHR) to robotic hernia repair (RHR); RHR to laparoscopic hernia repair (LHR); or OHR vs.

Purpose: Surgery for groin hernia is one of the most common operations in the world. Therefore, research concerning the outcomes of groin hernia surgery is extremely important both for the individual patient as well as for those providing the healthcare funding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of hernia surgery in Sweden over a 30 year time period, from 1992 to 2021.
