Objective: To describe a single surgeon’s experience with single incision laparoscopic surgery ( SILS) including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, right(Rt) colectomy and lysis of adhesions (LOA). The primary goal of SILS is to minimize or eliminate visible scarring by using a single umbilical incision. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that SILS outcome is comparable […]
SILS PortUse InBariatric Surgery Introduction: the use of single incision laparoscopic surgery, SLIS , increased in the last two years and started strongly to occupy a big space in surgery as a minimally invasive surgery procedure through the umbilicus . We have started with cholecystectomy, gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy procedures just immediately after the […]
Introduction: Several studies have shown that the Self-Approximating Translumenal Access Technique (STAT) allows safe abdominal access and a reliable means of gastric closure for per-oral NOTES. Little is known, however, about the durability of the STAT tunnel under the mechanical forces required for organ resection and specimen retrieval. We hypothesized that simple extirpative abdominal operations […]
Epigastric, umbilical, incisional, parastomal and trocar site hernias are all “ventral” hernias in surgical practice. The use of synthetic materials for repair of ventral hernias tends to be the golden standard. However, there are some situations where the use of a mesh is either unnecessary or contraindicated. Furthermore, these patients should still be given the […]
AIM: Patient population admitting to surgical clinics is getting older in accordance with the aging world. Being one of the most common surgical procedures, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is also being performed in older population than it was used to. The aim of this study is to compare younger population with elderly (65 and older) patients […]
