Objective: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) causes weight loss primarily through a mechanical restrictive mechanism. The vagus nerve provides connections between the brain and the gut through afferent and hormonal signals that regulate fullness and satiation. Published studies demonstrate clinically significant weight loss in subjects undergoing open surgical truncal vagotomy for ulcer disease and morbid […]
Back groundRecently, the laparoscopic operation to an early gastric cancer has established. This study was designed to review our initial experience with laparoscopic gastric surgical techniques to evaluate indications and surgical results.Study designWe undertook a retrospective analysis of 156 patients m(104 men and 52 women, mean age 62.4 years) who underwent laparoscopic gastric surgical procedures […]
BACKGROUNGThe endoscopic Surgery demands surgical skill and hard task, after the popularización of this technique arose in the market several kind of training simulators, which every time are in different fashion, electronic, digital, expensive, that needs an installation space, multiple connections which specifically has like limitation destining a time for it and perhaps the submission […]
Bakground:NOTES Colonic resection is difficult to perform because of the need for exposure, dissection, vascular control and anastomosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and early results of combined transgastric-transrectal NOTES sigmoidectomy.Materials and Methods:A two-week survival study was undertaken to evaluate the combined trangastric-transrectal approach for sigmoidectomy in 5 mini-pigs. […]
During the past 4 years, 483 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operations were performed by two surgeons at a university hospital. All of these were performed laparoscopically, with retrogastric, retrocolic passage of the Roux limb to form the gastro-jejunostomy. Of those operations, 11 of them subsequently went on to develop internal hernias, for an internal hernia rate […]
