Single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy: initial report.

Techniques that attempt to further reduce the morbidity and improve cosmesis of laparoscopic surgery have particularly generated interest. Since its initial urologic description in 2007, there has been a surge of interest in laparoendoscopic single-site surgery, which is now an emerging technique within the field of minimally invasive urologic surgery. This report describes a preliminary experience with single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (SSVEIL) compared with conventional video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL) on inguinal nodes management in a 45-year-old man with pT(2) grade 2 squamous cell penile carcinoma and impalpable inguinal nodes.

Video-assisted double-barreled wet colostomy: a new minimally invasive simultaneous diversion to patients after pelvic radiation therapy.

Introduction: A wet colostomy can be done when the simultaneous diversion of fecal and urine streams are necessary. Laparoscopic access is gaining space in urinary diversion procedures. The aim of the present study was to present the technique and results of the first case reported of a video-assisted double-barreled wet colostomy.
