THORACOSCOPIC TOTAL OESOPHAGECTOMY Introduction: Oesphagectomies have been performed by either a thoracoabdominal, transhiatal or thoracoscopic approach. These methods especially transthoracic procedure have known to have high intra and post operative morbidity. Principle of minimally invasive oesophagectomy is to perform the same operation through a smaller incision thus reducing the operating trauma without compromising the oncological […]
INTRODUCTION: The desire to reduce incision related post-operative morbidity and pain while achieving improved cosmetic results has recently led to the introduction of less invasive techniques. In this respect, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is an attractive option. One of the major criticisms of SILS is that the vision is impaired and therefore the safety […]
PURPOSERecently, Single Port Access (SPA) surgery becomes to be performed for cholecystectomy or gastrostomy. SPA surgery is performed using a single incision in the patient’s belly button. We try to remove gastric GIST using SPA plus one or two additional ports. However gastric wedge resection for GIST is variable about location or size comparing to […]
SINGLE INCISION PROCEDURE WITH CONVENTIONAL PORT AND INSTRUMENT (TOTAL LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTRECTOMY, OOPHRECTOMY, RADICAL HYSTRERCTOMY, CHOLECYSTECTOMY) Single port procedures using specialized ports and specialized articulating instruments have been done at various institutions. We are regularly doing LESS procedures such as laparoscopic hysterectomy, cholecystectomy, oophrectomy and radical hysterectomy using conventional ports and conventional instruments.Method and materials:- A […]
LAPAROSCOPIC REMOVAL OF VARIOUS TYPES OF PANCREATIC TUMORS Background:-Berneim, Meyo-Bug, Cushieri, Ishida 1911 proposed the role of laparoscopy as a staging tool for pancreatic diseases. But yet usage of laparoscopy in pancreatic tumor has been very slow. Material & Methods:-We retrospectively studied use of laparoscopy for various pancreatic tumors in our institution from July 2005-june […]
