INTRODUCTION The aim was to systematically review the literature and determine the impact of a mentor on the conversion rates and outcome data of trainee cases.The best way to ensure safe, effective reproducible training for laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) is unknown. The traditional “master-apprentice” model for learning surgery is gradually being replaced by alternative training […]
[Backgrounds] Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery has been widely accepted because of less pain, faster recovery and good cosmetic results. Although several authors presented results of prospective studies which support advantages of laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery, an oncological validity of this surgery is not well analyzed yet, specially for advanced cancer. The aim of this study […]
Introduction:Feasibility and safety of laparoscopic onocological colectomy is now walidated. Aim ef this paper is to show technical details of totally laparoscopic right colectomy for cancer.Methods:The patient is in supine position with right arm alongside the body.Three troacars are used:One 10mm periumbilical port which a 30 degree camera is introduced after apropriate CO2 insuflation,two left […]
Aims: To assess the feasibility of Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy in the Dorso-Lateral position with the intention of reducing the disadvantages and increasing the benefits of lateral approach and prone approach which are the two conventional approaches. Methods : Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy is routinely performed in two positions. The left lateral decubitus position is the most commonly used […]
Objectives: Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is widespread in the wourld, but the rate of rectal cancer, has increased more slowly than that of colon cancer. There are several technical problems in the performance of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. It is technically difficult to precisely transect and anastomose the rectum in patients with a narrow intrapelvic […]
