Background: For the last two decades, laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) has been the standard procedure for small benign adrenal tumors. Retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (RPA) is an increasingly performed procedure, with some possible advantages. The purpose of this study is to compare between the two approaches and assist in defining their indications.
Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of all patients who went through LA and RPA in our department, between January 2012 and July 20
We perform hand-assisted laparoscopic (HALS) splenectomy to increase thrombocyte numbers in patients with hypersplenism due to chronic liver disease.
From March 2006 to August 2011, we performed HALS splenectomy in 34 patients. Five cases underwent the Hassab operation. Peg-interferon and ribavirine therapy was planned for 17 of these cases. An 8 cm median skin incision was made in the upper abdomen and GelPortTM was placed in the incision. Three trocars were placed at the left side of the umbi
INTRODUCTION:
This study aims to report an experience on Laparoscopic-Assisted Adrenalectomy for a huge adrenal tumor presenting as an adrenal incidentaloma with imaging features of a Giant Cavernous Adrenal Hemangioma, which is of rare incidence.
METHODS:
This is a descriptive discussion of a case of a 47 year old male with an incidental finding of a 15cm x 12.3cm x 12.5cm heterogenous right adrenal mass with peripheral enhancement in the arterial phase, progressing centripetally in the la
[INTRODUCTION] It is seriously important for living donations to make safer and to reduce operating stress. Endoscopic surgery is thought to be a useful operating procedure for solving these problems. For living donor of kidney transplantation, we have performed retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy, because of its less operation stress and less intra-abdominal complications such as bleeding and intestinal injury than open approach. When it was too difficult to complete this procedure, we had conver
Background: Liposarcomas are the most common retroperitoneal soft tissue malignancy and can grow to significant size. Radical resection with clear margins is the main stem of successful therapy. Only few cases of laparoscopic resection have been reported
Case Report: A 76 year old woman complained of fullness in her abdomen and underwent a CT-scan showing a 20x10x8cm mass in the right retroperitoneum displacing duodenum and right colon to the left abdomen and the kidney cranially and anteriorly
