Laparoscopic Placement of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter (Same Day Dialysis)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains the generally accepted method for management of renal failure in chronic and acute renal failure. Despite the rapidly increasing use of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) since its introduction, controversy persists as to the efficacy and exact role of the modality in the treatment of end stage renal failure. The aim of thi...

Laparoscopic versus Open Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Insertion: A Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND Peritoneal dialysis is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease. Key to successful peritoneal dialysis is a well-functioning catheter. The different insertion techniques may be of great importance. Mostly, the standard operative approach is the open technique; however, laparoscopic insertion is increasingly popular. Catheter malfunction is reported up to 35% for the open te...

[Adnexal torsion caused by Fallopian tube cancer].

Fallopian tube cancer is the less frequent gynecological cancer. It occurs typically between 40 and 65 years old. Diagnosis is usually achieved earlier than in ovarian cancer cases, due to early symptoms (typically abdominal pain, hydro-hematorrhea and adnexal mass). Preoperative correct diagnosis is infrequent, being most cases diagnosed during the surgery or in the pathological study. Histolo...

Total Laparoscopic Management of Fallopian Tube Prolapse

Background: Fallopian tube prolapse is an infrequent complication of hysterectomy. Surgical management has been described by vaginal, abdominal, and combined approaches. More recently, laparoscopic management has been advocated generally in combination with vaginal surgery or in cases in which an initial vaginal operation was unsuccessful. Case: We report our totally laparoscopic technique for ...
