Introduction
Robotic pancreatic surgery at a community hospital is viable and produces safe operative outcomes. A current trend in surgery is to utilize a robotic surgical system for complex abdominal operations. This is not limited to academic institutions. The use of the robot allows for more precise manipulation of instruments and tissue. The 3-D, HD visualization of the console allows for safer dissection while providing an ergonomic advantage to the surgeon. This technology has been slowly
Background: Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is the gold standard for identification of biliary anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A previous study performed by Osayi et al demonstrated the Near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography (NIRF-C), which allows for imaging of biliary anatomy in real-time, was an effective alternative to IOC for patients with symptomatic biliary disease who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study is to assess the efficacy of NIRF-C for
Background: In recent years, although the reduced port operation method which is excellent in cosmetics, such as SILS, is spread, therefore, the problem that safety is sacrificed or operation difficulty rises has arisen. This study examined the usefulness of reduced port cholecystectomy using the two 2.4mm fine forceps directly penetrating the abdominal wall, which is performed by 21 mm of total surgical wound length, and shows the unique method of insert of the 2.4mm fine forceps whose tip has
We have innovated a novel surgical procedure for Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS), which is called as Left gastrio-epiploic artery traction (LeGEART) method, mainly for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
[Background]
Since the first report of LS in 19911, LS is considered as the one of the standard technique for patients requiring an elective splenectomy. In our institution, LS was first undertaken in 1996. Since then, LS have been performed mostly for patients with hematological disorde
Introduction:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is becoming the gold standard for surgical removal of the gallbladder. About 5% to 40% of people who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy experienced a persistent abdominal pain to the extent of gastric upset, change in bowel habit & nausea or recurrent vomiting. Causes for this post laparoscopic cholecystectomy pain are many, and spilled gallstones is rare cause. Spilled gallstones can lead to formation of inflammatory Pseudotumor which can mimic malig
