Background: Use of the EndoTIP rotational access port (Karl Storz, GMBH) with visual recognition and without prior insufflation has previously been shown to be a safe and efficient technique for obtaining peritoneal access for laparoscopic surgery1. An alternative peritoneal entry detection technique using a fluid column instead of a camera lens was evaluated. Methods: After […]
Abstract:Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are mucin producing cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. IPMN can rarely present with atypical manifestation such as fistulization into neighboring organs and anatomic structures. We present two cases of IPMN presenting with pancreatico-biliary and pancreatico-duodenal fistulizations. Methods:In our unit, two patients both presenting with signs and symptoms of obstructive Jaundice […]

Leaking or hemorrhaging at the staple-line are two feared complications associated with this procedure. Bioabsorbable staple-line buttressing materials have been suggested to decrease bleeding and minimize […]

Objectives of the study & technique Local resection of colorectal lesions can be achieved through various techniques for instancetransanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM). The resulting specimen contains the lesion totally, allowing evaluation of radicality. Complication rates are low and irradicality is rare. TEM’s straight instruments limits its applicability to the first 25cm from the linea dentata. […]
