INTRODUCTION: Many of the characteristics of inguinal hernia (IH) repair are especially well suited to the transgastric approach. The repair is inline with the transgastric scope vector and bilateral defects are adjacent. In addition, IH is a common operation in the younger demographic, a group that places more emphasis on cosmesis and in whom an […]
Background: Combined organ resection was not rare operation in gastric cancer surgery. Cholecystectomy and splenectomy were most frequently operated in gastrectomy. Additionally, the development of the laparoscopic surgery offers more chance to operate with them. We investigated the risk of the combined organ resection in gastric cancer surgery. Materials and Methods: The clinical data on […]
Objective of StudySpeedier convalescence, return to activity & improved health related quality of life (HrQoL) are indices of patient reported outcomes in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Improving patient reported outcomes by minimising multi-factorial post-operative pain & fatigue in LC demand a multi-pronged approach. Yoga improves HrQoL in many chronic fatigue & stress related inflammatory disorders. We […]
Introduction: Since the advent of modern surgical training, surgeons have acquired their skills and dexterity through a prolonged training process of internship, residency, and fellowship. Due to resident work-hour limitations, surgical residents have fewer opportunities than ever to directly participate in operations and acquire surgical skills. Simulation, most notably in the laparoscopic arena, has served […]
BACKGROUND : A standard laparoscopic-assisted surgery for colorectal cancer is often performed with five ports. We developed the colon-lifting method (CLM) in 2000, and were able to perform the laparoscopic-assisted colectomy with total 3 or 4 ports by using CLM.PURPOSE : To evaluate the utility of CLM, the outcomes of it were compared with standard […]
