An asymptomatic patient was admitted as his chest photograph and computed tomography scans showed a giant Morgagni's hernia (MH). And it was repaired by laparoscopic approach under epidural anesthesia without endotracheal intubation. The hernia content of omentum was repositioned back into the abdominal cavity, and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired with composite mesh. Which indicated that non-intubated laparoscopic mesh repair via epidural anesthesia is reliable and satisfactory for MH.

Objective: The Malone antegrade continence enema (MACE) procedure is performed for patients with fecal incontinence and constipation who do not respond to medical therapy. The MACE procedure provides antegrade catheter access to the right colon and allows administration of enemas to help evacuate the bowel regularly. The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for surgical complications in children who undergo the MACE procedure.

J West Afr Coll Surg
January 2013
Background: General endotracheal relaxant anaesthetic technique is favoured for laparoscopic gynaecological procedures, in order to prevent inadequate ventilation, regurgitation and aspiration resulting from pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg position during the procedure. However, simple brief laparoscopic procedures have been performed safely over the years in adult population using alternative airway devices. We report our experience over a fifteen-year period, of using general anaesthesia by face mask ventilation for short diagnostic laparoscopy in gynaecologic practice.
