Endometriosis Resection Using Nerve Sparing Versus Non-nerve Sparing Surgical Techniques.

Introduction: Endometriosis is the condition in which there are ectopic endometrial tissues outside the uterine cavity. The use of nerve sparing technique has been well established in the field of oncology, leading to better quality of life following radical oncologic procedures without compromising on the long-term survival. The objective of this study is to compare the quality of life in terms of sexual function and urinary function in women undergoing nerve sparing surgeries for endometriosis and those undergoing non-nerve sparing surgeries.

Feasibility of transthoracic esophagectomy with a next-generation surgical robot.

Robot-assisted minimal access surgery (MAS), compared with conventional MAS, has shown a number of benefits across several therapeutic indications but its use for transthoracic esophagectomy (TTE) requires further evaluation. Here, we report the first-in-human series of major esophageal resections performed using a next-generation tele-operated robotic surgical system in a single center. Robot-assisted TTE was performed using the Versius Surgical System by a single surgeon to assess the robotic system's ability to achieve tumor clearance (measured by R0 resection rates) whilst reducing anastomotic leakage rates.

Feasibility of robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) with a new robotic system. Experience at Galaxy Care Laparoscopy Institute.

The main objective of this study was to assess in a series of 30 patients, the feasibility, oncological safety and efficacy of radical hysterectomy by a new robotic system. Prospective study design. Galaxy Care Laparoscopy Institute and Multispeciality Hospital.

Distribution of lymph node metastases in esophageal carcinoma [TIGER study]: study protocol of a multinational observational study.

Background: An important parameter for survival in patients with esophageal carcinoma is lymph node status. The distribution of lymph node metastases depends on tumor characteristics such as tumor location, histology, invasion depth, and on neoadjuvant treatment. The exact distribution is unknown.

Laparoscopic Intracorporeal Pancreaticogastrostomy in Total Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy-A Novel Anastomotic Technique.

Novel pancreaticogastric anastomosis technique in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy which is simple, feasible to perform, provides secure fixation between stomach and pancreas. The aim of our article is to describe our technique of intracorporeal pancreaticogastrostomy as a promising approach for future widespread application.

Novel Anastomotic Technique for Uterine Transplant Using Utero-ovarian Veins for Venous Drainage and Internal Iliac Arteries for Perfusion in Two Laparoscopically Harvested Uteri.

Study Objective: To evaluate 2 cases of uterine transplant surgery that used utero-ovarian veins as outflow channels, internal iliac arteries for perfusion, and the organ harvest surgery performed laparoscopically.

Design: Case study (Canadian Task Force Classification III).

Setting: An urban, private, tertiary care hospital.

Evaluation of 5-year results of laparoscopic transhiatal oesophagectomy as a single-centre experience.

Introduction: Minimal Invasive Surgery of oesophageal cancers is gaining popularity. We have published our Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy results. The present study focuses on our expertise of TransHiatal Esophagectomy.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Uterus Retrieval From Live Organ Donors for Uterine Transplant: Our Experience of Two Patients.

Study Objective: To report the first ever laparoscopic-assisted live donor uterus retrieval in 2 patients for uterus transplant.

Design: Case study (Canadian Task Force classification III).

Setting: Galaxy CARE Laparoscopy Institute, Pune, India.

Technical Feasibility and Short-Term Outcome of Intracorporeal Hand-Sewn Esophagojejunostomy After Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy: Our Experience.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the safety and technical feasibility of intracorporeal hand-sewn esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy. Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is a technically challenging procedure, especially for esophagojejunal anastomosis (EJA). Various techniques have been described to overcome these difficulties using staplers with variable results.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Uterus Retrieval From Live Organ Donors for Uterine Transplant.

Study Objective: The authors present the first ever laparoscopic-assisted uterus retrieval in a live donor for uterus transplant.

Design: A step-by-step surgical demonstration.

Setting: Galaxy CARE Laparoscopy Institute, Pune, India.

Management of Large Size MNGs and STNs Using 3D Endoscopic Technique: a Review of 10 Cases.

The role of endoscopic thyroidectomy has shown clear cosmetic benefits in the past. In this current study of 10 patients, we have tried to highlight the importance and benefits of 3D endoscopy in the management of large size multinodular goitres (MNGs) and solitary thyroid nodules (STNs). From March 2014 to July 2014, patients having a large volume of thyroid (>70 cc for one lobe) and nodule size (>6 cm) were enrolled for this study.

Laparoscopic Management of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma: a Case Report.

The only option for cure of Klatskin's tumour is surgical excision. The radicality of the procedure is determined by the extent of the tumour and functional parameters of the patient. Complete laparoscopic resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with biliary reconstruction is a challenging procedure.

Our Experience of Laparoscopic Anterior Exenteration in Locally Advanced Cervical Carcinoma.

Study Objective: To show the feasibility, technique, and results of laparoscopic anterior exenteration in selected patients.

Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Galaxy Care Laparoscopy Institute, Pune, India.

Fascial Anatomy and Its Relevance in Safe Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.

Study Objective: To demonstrate the importance of being familiar with the anatomy of the endopelvic fascia as seen by laparoscopy to perform safe laparoscopic hysterectomies.

Design: Combination of surgical videos and design diagrams.

Setting: Compiled high-definition surgical videos from the Galaxy Care Laparoscopy Institute, Pune, India.

Robotic transthoracic esophagectomy.

Background: We have initially published our experience with the robotic transthoracic esophagectomy in 32 patients from a single institute. The present paper is the extension of our experience with robotic system and to best of our knowledge this represents the largest series of robotic transthoracic esophagectomy worldwide. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the robotic transthoracic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer in a series of patients from a single institute.

Duplication of Conventional Multiport Laparoscopic Radical Hysterectomy Steps with Other Minimal Access Modalities (LESS, OASIS, Robotic).

Study Objective: To duplicate the steps of conventional multiport laparoscopic radical hysterectomy by 3 other minimal access modalities: robotic radical hysterectomy, laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS), and orifice-assisted small-incision surgery (OASIS).

Design: Institutional Review Board approval was obtained. Between January 2009 and December 2012, the charts of the patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy by these 4 minimal access modalities were analyzed.
