INTRODUCTION
The reported incidence (0.4-0.5%) of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is higher than during open cholecystectomy and has not decreased over time despite increasing experience with the procedure. The “critical view of safety” (CVS) has been suggested as a protective method to avoid BDI when certain criteria are met prior to division of any structures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adherence of practicing surgeons to the CVS criteria dur
Background
Reconstruction methods after Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG) in early gastric cancer are various. We present the technique and clinical outcome of laparoscopy proximal gastrectomy with partial fundoplication.
Methods
A camera port is inserted into the upper umbilicus region and four operating ports are placed. Lymph node dissection are performed. The esophagus is dissected using a linear stapler following complete detachment of the paraesophageal region; this is followed b
Background: The feasibility of elective single-incision laparoscopic (SILS) cholecystectomy for biliary colic and dyskinesia has been well-established in the literature, but limited data has been published concerning the approach for more severe disease. A retrospective chart review was conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of the SILS approach in the setting of complicated gallbladder disease.
Methods: All SILS cholecystectomies performed at a single institution by three surgeons betw
AIM:
To describe a clinical case to pay attention on the importance of extracting the tumoral specimen in a plastic bag moreover the protection of the incision edges. Is the first reported case of port-site metastasis from colon cancer after a SILS approach.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES:
A 65 years old male patient is operated in October 2012 for sigmoid adenocarcioma in clinical stage cT3N0M0. He presented an uncomplicated umbilical hernia. SILS sigmoidectomy and mechanical colorectal anastomosis
Objective:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become a standard surgical technique for cholecystectomy owing to its relatively noninvasive nature. We aimed to examine the LC cases performed during the study period at our institute, which has a community emergency care department, and evaluate the historical changes.
Methods:
This study included 3000 cases of LC performed from July 1991 through June 2014. The cases were divided into 3 groups based on the time of operation: oldest 1000 cases
